Hi all. Anyone here who remembers me? Used to come here alot back in the day. That in the title used to be my username but I don´t like it anymore. I still am quite pathetic but calling yourself pathetic is REALLY pathetic. That means that every time you call yourself pathetic you are actually right. Think about that. But its a cyclic definition, a definition that defines itself, which by logic is wrong. I think depression in general is a lot like that. A cycle, loophole logic error in the brain that creates itself and justifies itself. That is why I think it´s hard to give advise to people with depression. It´s like “just better yourself bro”, “just believe in yourself”, “just hit the gym bro”… And they are actually RIGHT! But they don´t realize that someone in depression is not capable of seeing that. Of seeing out of their logic-loop. I think the important thing is to realize that breaking out of the loop does not happen suddenly. It is a slow process of spiraling outwards. I know this is just a generic cliché mumbo-jumbo that everyone already knows but its true. Just as true as “just hit the gym bro”. If you red this corny shit all the way through I got even more corny homework for you. Go look in the mirror, look deep into your eyes and say one nice thing about yourself OUT LOUD. Ofc you dont have to do it if you think it´s silly. I am no one to tell you what to do in your life. But if anything it wont hurt or kill you I suppose.
EDIT: I think its fking dumb AF too. and I dont really like myself tbh. but im gonna do my homework now coz I dont wanna be a hypocrite. If u think Im retarded I agree.

All of this is true, thanks for the reminder. the loop of putting yourself down is really hard to break out of. I wont do the mirror exercise because for me just looking in the mirror triggers intense disgust. But instead I’ll tell myself “you have a great life.” Because for me, my loop is constantly telling myself “my life is shit”. And I agree that’s not helping. So thanks for the suggestion, even if it just helps us through 1 day.
Hey man, I remember you. I’ll just tell you now, SP is no longer the place where these kind of posts show up. Apparently. Idk what happened. The color scheme, the moderation. Current events? All three? eh…
Hi I am patheticloser here, I see you used the word ‘pathetic’ in your name too. I don’t like to put myself down but I have no other choice but to see who I really am, a pathetic loser. So many people fucked me up and got away with it, life also fucked me and cheated me of happiness and success. I really am a loser. I was born weak and unlucky.
It’s good to know you finally reached epiphany and stopped using the name pathetic but I can’t forgive myself for being so pathetic and I can’t stop using that name.
@you guys
small world, my username used to be #ungratefulbastard
No way? Pathetic Male? I remember- Why didn’t you mention this before?
