Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Do drugs. If it's nothing or suicide then at least give drugs a chance. You can create your own happiness and motivation with drugs. Start with low dose adderall. Raise the dose and add weed and video games to it. Then try loratabs/percocets. Then try learning something new. Scroll thru Udemy for ideas of shit to learn. Then learn/take a course... wait for it... ON DRUGS! Getting a high off small accomplishments that were accomplished by being high is a great feeling. Disclaimer tho: you'll prolly start smoking cigs but they'll cure cig cancer before you'll get it if you are just starting now.
That shit isn't available here and the process of visiting a doctor is awful here. Plus I've never done drugs, I think. I wanna keep that clean. Not for any type of moral compass but because fuck it. I don't even smoke.
I don't recommend trying anything you could get addicted to, I think that's a good call. But psychedelics are non addictive and they're starting to be used to treat depression etc. If you're serious about not wanting to be alive, I think its not a bad idea to try that first.
Lacking trustworthy connections to acquire and trip-sit, as well as the right state-of-mind for it in the first place. In other words, the same exact issue.
On top of that... any chance at that working likely depends on needing a mental re-alignment, as-in not living with on-going despair-inducing issues.
