I dont usually get emotional and whine about stuff like this but fucking hell, we're living in really shitty times right now. The aftermath of this pandemic will be 10x worse than the pandemic itself, if you don't die you will likely end up jobless, etc... the girl I liked and was talking to had to move back to her city because of this outbreak... I don't even know if I'm gonna be staring uni this September like I was scheduled too... and now thanks to BoJo my gym is being shut down. The last thing I could leave the house for. Fuck this.
Who else experiencing depression over COVID-19?
agreed. i'm in a similar situation and should've asked her out before this bullshit blew up, but nvm. nothing good on the horizon and things are looking bleak for a long time
Pubs are all shut so yeah I'm pretty depressed lad. Hopefully will hang out at mates houses to ease the loneliness. Remember to take vitamin D to counteract depression and boost immune system
Look. Listen. I know why you choose to hold your little, ahem, "group therapy sessions" on video chat. I know why you're afraid to go out in public. The Batflu. See, the Batflu has shown the world your true colors, unfortunately. Italy? That's just the beginning. And as for the WHO's so called plan? Batflu has no jurisdiction. It’ll find them and make them cough. I know the immunocompromised when I see them and...
>What do you propose?
It’s simple, we uh, nuke, the Chinese. If we don't deal with this now, soon, uh, little Donald here won't be able to get toilet paper for his grandma.
Fuck off yellow cunt you started this disease. Try having basic hygiene next time
Me. I live in a fucking shithole, I have no guns, my business is going to break if things keep like this, shit will start to get post-apocalyptic very soon when the first apes here go wild from the stress and induce a chain reaction of chimpouts. Crime here will get so bad
Wtf. I don't understand this, you're just weak as fuck. Why worry about shit you can't control? Get the fuck over it and find a way to be productive or have fun with your alone time. You're no different than the women on social media right now going into overdrive about the fucking Muh anxiety, muh depression shit.
Met someone at wagie job, going out literally for two weeks and now she's moving back to Czech cause she's scared she'd die and doesn't want to be cremated if the parents want her body to bury. Now all i have is this board, saddest thing.
I didn't think we could forcefully ash people, boris is mental.
No, that’s just modern over-socialization training done by Marxists who’ve infiltrated the education and news/entertainment sectors of society. A more conservative and traditionalist society wouldn’t be like that. Think of the old British stuff upper lip attitude and the stoic man. All attitudes liberal media and education has been trying to do away with for years now. Complaints of “toxic masculinity” and such. And in those times when men in society need to suffer in silence or put their emotions in check to think logically and do things that need to be done, many don’t have this mindset.
Can't stop what's coming but I can prepare my best to survive and come out of it a lot better than most people. People survived the Black Death and afterwards culture flourished. The price of labor increased, the lower and middle class blossomed for the first time in history. Art, music, the Renaissance, all of it happened because of the Black Death. The future is very bright for those who survive the next few years of hardship. We're headed for a new golden age. And China is headed for total collapse as they lose all manufacturing. Sucks to be China but everyone else will do great.
Exactly, shit will be hard at the start but this outbreak will bring ALOT of changes. We'll have to critically look at everything that is wrong in the current system and adjust it. If you are a Yas Forums young male (20-35) with more than 3 brain cells and you can't get a job during hard times it's you own fucking fault. The weak will perish, the strong will survive. The ones that are panicking already are the ones that will most likely be fucked.
For me it's more depressing because i was looking forward to starting uni this September. Now I don't even know if that will happen. To be honest for the most part I've had a pretty shit social life and was looking forward mainly to the social side of uni.
That will come. In the grand scheme of things a 1 year delay or even a 2 year delay isn't bad. There will also be more online college now. Some people don't get their college degrees until 10 or more years later. It's fine. It seems like shit now but it will work out.
>and now thanks to BoJo my gym is being shut down
Bojo bought you extra time in the gym if anything compared to virtually every other country. He was getting tons of shit for NOT shutting everything down earlier, as retarded as that is.
Yeah but youth doesn't last forever and as I said, I was mainly looking forward to the social side - something that can't be experienced online. Anyway, all I can do is hope that this will be resolved ASAP.
I'm depressed because I might be looking at spending the rest of my early 20s isolated rather than enjoying them.
Thanks you old cunts
(You)
How old are you now? Everything will likely go back to normal within half a year.
Yeah everything is shit right now, depression will happen to a lot of people.
22 nearly 23
not old but things aren't the same after 23/4
I went sober earlier this year, like slowed down a lot in January and haven't had a drink in nearly 2 months, but my god, lads.. Being home all this time, no responsibilities for a couple of weeks, this is prime "fuck it, I'll have a drink" time.
I have every reason in the world not to have a drink, with only one reason to actually have one.. But, momentary joy has much more detriment than it's worth.
Just fuck, being drunk sounds fun.
That's my fear too. I'm turning 21 soon, and I finally have the motivation to better my life and try out a whole new slew of hobbies.
I just really hope you're right man, I already wasted too much of my youth.
>tfw I own 2 houses and as soon as quarantine is over I will just sell one of them like 10% cheaper than the current market and save like half of what I get to buy a better house for pennies once the economy completely collapses in the next 2 to 3 years
>mfw I work from home, have a home gym and have been stockpiling rations for the happening for over a year
>Dating a Czech
Boris saved you m8
Snap out of it bro. Seriously. With this fucking pandemic, now more than ever it is important to be mentally strong. Go read a book, go for a jog, do a few sets of push ups, watch some motivational videos... I mean fuck, even sit down and watch a movie or TV show to distract you. If you have to, throw the alcohol away.
And what? You're still isolated. Most likely, you are lonely. Are you fine with that? Then again, I could be wrong, you could be living with people who are keeping you happy.
Don't do it mate. Smoke weed instead if you can't take it
Uni classes were coming back last monday where I'm from and they were cancelled. I like my career and was really hyped. When I heard classes got cancelled I got pretty bummed. Haven't been in such a bad mood in a while.
I'm working out half as much and feel drained of energy. I don't wanna do shit. Still have the discipline to keep my shit together but I really just wanna lay in bed and sleep the quarantine off.
>You're still isolated. Most likely, you are lonely
Nah I hate people mate, I've practically been alone for the past year and still haven't felt lonely.
Chinks gotta pay
Fair play to you then, I personally get extremely depressed without a good amount of human contact. Yet at the same time, I can be very cold and distant... this virus is really making me realise I should have cherished my time socialising with others more, I hope at least I can take that away from this and when the world is back to normal, work on that.
I'm anxious more than depressed. I was going to start investing in property, beginning with a little flat. Housing market's going to be fucked so I don't know what to do now. My job is probably safe but it pays minimum wage - I needed to be investing to prop up my income but we have a recession around the corner.
I literally leave home to walk my dog and to go to the gym. I live alone and this is going to be shit. I saw the gym closure coming though and have a set of dumbbells, a chin up bar and a weight bench on their way to me so I should still be able to make gains.
I am a mature student at Uni. I have one more year left, i'm not worried about that at all. Honestly i'll take those maintenance loans in these times.
What a faggot holy shit
Thanks, guys, I appreciate it. I've been filling my time with art work and exercise, and to make some extra cash in the interim I'm gonna start doing some Uber Eats or whatever on the side. Just some bill money til the world gets back in order, y'know?
Here's a Cyber-Apocalypse Aerith I did today, as a thanks for the encouragement.
That's a good takeaway man. I suspect a lot of people on here struggle with putting things off. It's useful to be reminded that applies to everything including just appreciating when times are good.
>this virus is really making me realise I should have cherished my time socialising with others more
same m8
i'm introverted as fuck but now that i'm being forced to isolate myself rather than doing it because i want to, i feel like i should've appreciated my freedom while i had it.
amazing
wow nice work user!
reminds me of when i frequented /ic/
I'm not just saying this to suck your ass and make you feel better, you are genuinely talented. That is very good. All the best bro
Seriously kill yourself you weak pathetic faggot I cannot believe how gay you are it is honestly shocking to me that people like you can survive for more than 1 day in this world.
Underrated
Fuck off you miserable autist. You're on here for a hollow semblance of social interaction just like everyone else. You're really going to act high and mighty because your online persona doesn't talk about emotions?
Bohooo life's hard, man the fuck up
Yes exactly. My real persona doesn't either.
Deal with it, these things happen. find something else to do.
DELETE
>slow clap
It's alright to talk about emotions. I knew I'd come across like a whiny bitch when I wrote that post. It just sucks when stuff is looking up for the first time in your life and then a fucking global pandemic, more significant than any pandemic seen in decades, comes and takes away your freedom and fucks everything up.
holy shit you should go to the olympics for archery or something
Well my job is safe, it's not something we can shut down because of a pandemic. I'm terrified that they'll close the gym though.
>2-3 years
Aren't we the optimist
what's his program ?
It gets better OP, you'll be doggystyling that girl in no time.
We've had flu pandemics before, I wouldn't say they brought about great change.
>she's scared she'd die and doesn't want to be cremated if the parents want her body to bury
holy fuck, the things people worry about...
Not making a cause-effect connection, but it's worth noting that the Roaring Twenties happened immediately following the Spanish Flu Pandemic and a world war.
Christ British "men" are such little beta faggots. Kys you simp.
should have been shut down earlier
Seen a girl for the last time in who now's how long because of the massively reduced train services from Monday. I was doing a plumbing course at my local college to make a career change and my 16 hour a week job at a phone job is still here but may have to cut hours or close soon at this rate.
But fuck the sad shit. I used to be a great runner and it's time to pick that up again, I want to be able to do 25 pull ups in a row by the time the gyms open again, and it's time I started reading my enormous backlog of books I've been putting off for so long. Some of you in this thread are barely out of your teens, I'm 26 and still got my whole life ahead of me, don't be sad cunts brahs. Make some friends online, use your brain and write some notes on things, even start playing some vidya if you want. Stick close to your loved ones and we'll be through this before Christmas.
Gooks deserve the rope for what they've done
