i am depressed. nothing makes me happy or interested. i can't imagine majoring in something or having a career doing anything. are there any books that could potentially remind me there are exciting new things to live for or show me interesting things i could learn about or explore. everything just feels boring and like there is nothing to it. i am desperate so i am posting my best picture too

Go back to /r9k/, you fucking loser
sage and report
Gavin Sullivan
If you are white you should try to explore the racial consciousness that has been suppressed within you through schooling and media and socially outlawed or disincentivized. That will give you more meaning than anything else ever could.
Jeremiah Bell
Try the short story by Melville called Bartleby, the Scrivener.
Sebastian Adams
Do you want a slice of life book? I may dig my things and try find books that may cheer you up.
Tho some of them I found cheering up turn out to be a bit boring to you (like my philosophy books)
Hudson Long
damn that is unreasonably harsh. books are often revival for great authors. Dostoevsky was inspired by the bible as it was all he often read when bed-ridden. a book that inspires or gives drive is nto a stupid question
fuck are you talking about i don't want to live my life like some stupid alt-right meme guy is it cause the image i just thought it was funny looking
Nathan Cooper
i have. it just seems like a story about a man who lost all inspiration and that is very sad. it doesn't seem to help in giving inspiration
David Kelly

>combines four sentences without punctuation.
So you're retarded, never mind then. You have every reason to be ashamed of being white.
Thomas Howard

Read The Stranger
Camden Martinez
the stranger is just a bummer thou
Blake Ramirez
Why call me a nigger? I'm your friend.
Christian Sullivan
not you it is the seal to the bird. the seal is mad at the bird. i usually assume it is because the seal is very sleepy looking and not moving, so the bird hoping in front of it is an annoyance. like the seal lives in a quiet world so a loud bird getting in it's face is very perturbing. also the bird has sand all over his beak and the sand near by is out of order so the bird is obviously playing in it which upsets the seal. also a black bird is often associated with black people (usually crows thou this appears to be a common grackle). that is why it is my favorite picture. it isn't an insult to you.
Isaiah Edwards
Why are you depressed? Fix the underlying problem. See a psychiatrist.
Elijah Cruz
psychiatrist gave me ssri's. they just make me sadder and my dick don't work no more. still no inspiration.
Brayden Collins
>racial consciousness
I'm pretty depressed but I'm generally okay. Buying into racist memes propagated by castrating forces of violent authority is a surefire way to multiply your neuroses. Getting out of rightist bullshit is what helped me to mitigate my anxiety. I'd suggest not ruminating on your depression and working to simplify your life in whatever way you can at the moment.
>That will give you more meaning than anything else ever could.
Yeah not religion, contemplation of the mystical, cultivation of a hopeful and compassionate attitude - Phrenology and not meeting a single black person should get you through this hard time.
Henry Adams
you aren't me
Nolan Barnes
Best advice I can give is - well I guess first to see an actual psychoanalyst. Tell your current therapist your problem with the medication he/she prescribed. Ssri's are doled out like tic tacs. There are other neurotransmitter-reuptake-inhibitors that can mitigate your symptoms in order for you to investigate your symptoms without worsening them.
I try to be hopeful without rationalization. Worst case scenario, I'm fooling myself. Best case scenario, I'm developing habits of working toward joyful and optimistic goals. Wallowing in rumination can only lead to one scenario of stagnation or decline. Submitting yourself to a single idea as justification for your life is worse than hovering in anguished suspense.
As for book recommendations. Study Sartre's ontology described in "Being and Nothingness" then read Beauvoir's "Ethics of Ambiguity". Latching yourself onto anything to settle your angst will simply lock you further into an attitude of bad faith. You won't find justification for a joyful attitude. You must simply exercise your freedom to be joyful.
Nicholas Lopez
Yeah I'm not OP. I just posted some more stuff that genuinely seemed to help me.
Aaron Carter
It hurts man, I forgive you though. Please stop saying it brother.
Cameron Cox
It doesn't get better. I'm sorry.
Brandon Richardson

>castrating forces of violent authority
This is how deracinated whites have become, where a biological reality is seen as a 'castrating force if violent authority.'
And you wonder why you're depressed, kiddo?
You've been told your whole short life that embracing and being proud of the most fundamental aspect of your nature is wrong. Of course you are depressed. You're wading through life as an atomized individual who is afraid to connect to your own group because you've been conditioned to think you'll suffer social consequences for doing so.
Expect nothing to get better until you understand the reality of which I speak.
Chase Lee
i accept i am white but how is it the fundamental element of my being. i do lots of other things than be white
Robert Murphy
I'm glad you accept that, but if you need to understand that everything else extends from that biological reality and that it is unique and dependent on a heritage that you do not yet understand because you've been intentionally removed from it by the outsiders in charge of your society's institutions.
Evan Gray
it's true, the same way the spaniards tricked the incas into giving up their empire, is being done to european people today
Aiden Walker
stoic books such as meditations are what you are looking for
Gavin Campbell
stoicism is gay, it's like "you're going to die so nothing matters but don't have fun anyways" possibly most incoherent ideology
Julian Nguyen
Life in itself is incoherent.
Stoicism is not about "having fun anyway", it is about a healthy attitude towards life, in which you make it clear to yourself that a human can handle any hardship if he decides to stop being a little bitch. It does not promise a happy life, but it correctly implies that the only way to live life without regretts is to do the next best thing you could do, no matter what happens, without resorting to animalistic chimp-outs. Every second spent dwelling on your gay little feelings is a lost second.
