For a few weeks last year I worked 16 hour days. My back eventually gave out and I had to take some time off. One day I tried to get up and walk and I literally couldn't. It didn't hurt or anything, my muscles just weren't responding.

I work in IT support, like actually moving inventory, basic networking, etc for conferences.

my problem isn't depression it's lifelong anxiety that has paralyzed me since childhood into being a perpetually neurotic shut in freak who overthinks absolutely everything then decides to do nothing but consume escapism. i wish it was just depression since many depressed people still seem to have their shit together somewhat, at least to be independent. anxiety just locks you into doing nothing but the bare minimum your entire existence because anything else is too much of a bother or has too many variables and things that can and will probably go wrong, wasting time that could be spent browsing 4chan or consuming escapism.

Employers do not give a fuck about their workforce and the last thing they want to do is hire more people because payroll is one of the biggest expenses at any company. It makes them more money to simply work someone to death and then replace them with another desperate wagie than to hire two wagies at the same time.

>>212714510
>this shit is actually illegal in Europe
it isn't though, there are plenty of ways to give yourself a 12 to 16 hour day if for some reason you want to. At least in my country it's possible by working different kinds of jobs that fit in distinct niches (eg regular 8h job plus either freelancing, jobs paid through service vouchers rather than direct cash on your account, transfrontier jobs for another country etc). I knew a few people doing it, it's not the norm at all but it is very possible and legal. You just can't work a regular job for 16h without it being an exceptional occurence, some form of 3x8 shift or something your sector/industry has worked out with the goverment already. It's not as simple as ''16 hour days are illegal'' and certainly not throughout the whole of the EU, let alone Europe.

>>212709516
i'm in a similar situation but have found that the periods in my life where I was most 'normal' (gf, job, friends, outings) I still had heavy anxiety about it all but was stuck on the treadmill of life by the obligations of having all of those normie things, on the outside I just looked like a regular guy who had his shit together (I know this because when I opened up to my friends and ex-colleagues about the constant anxiety that's what they told me). The way I see it, the solutions are to either work on my anxiety with therapy or just force myself back into a normal situation and let the routine take care of me (ie do instead of thinking about doing, no matter the consequences). Once you start doing something, anything at all, you'll have less and less time to overthink things so your anxiety will have less of a decisive influence on how your life goes, if that makes sense. What's important is having some way to force you to a regular schedule, be it self imposed or work related. Once you get past the first few months you adapt and your anxiety takes a backseat to your obligations, or at least that's how it was for me.

It's very easy to let time slip by in both situations though, I was a regular wagie for almost a decade before the company sank and I was out of a job. And now it's quickly approaching a full year of doing nothing at home overthinking past and future decisions, weighing potential consequences and making sure I choose the right path.

Varies from person to person and the severity of your symptoms. Just get a full spectrum one with 30-40% purity. Start with 2 drops and then keep increasing gradually until you feel the desired effects. For me, 4 drops every 4-5 hours is the sweet spot.

You'll know you hit your upper limit if you get diarrhea or start getting dizzy, so don't experiment with higher doses if you're going to drive

If you think that's what it actually means, I really don't know what to tell you pal...

>>212718060
That's only if you go way overboard with doses. If you keep it under 5 drops every 4-5 hours you shouldn't have any negative sides unless you're super sensitive to the effects, and then you just reduce it for the next time.

Good luck. Met a lot of people who defeated severe social anxiety with it

>>212710254

DANGER WILL ROBINSON DANGER

I am a married man with 3 kids and I would trade my life with this guy's sometimes. I mean, I wouldn't want to not have kids and be a genetic dead end, but barring that, I would have no problem being a pseudo-NEET. I am attractive enough to get sex from social media and dating apps. I get companionship from vidya and 4chan. I'd probably find some local fellow nerd friends eventually to chill with. Idk, all seems pretty good to me.

"Living the American dream" nowadays is tiresome. You and your family are constantly bombarded on all sides by Jewish scheming, propaganda, and trickery. Sometimes I just wish I could get a monkey's paw and wish it all away...

Same but also that's how you know you're really depressed, when you don't even have the energy to do stuff you used to enjoy

Me ex would get upset that I wouldn't laugh at the TV when I finished work at 9 or 10pm. I wasnt even upset I was just tired.

it’s funny seeing white people become a parody of retarded stuff street shitters do, and not realizing they (the whites) are the butt of the joke

Wish that was Sasha Grey yelling at me when I get home.
