This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I find it slightly amusing and very unsettling how many of 4chan greentexts are basically
> I have severe depression
Exactly
-> go to psychologist
TBH I've been to psychologists. I suppose the medication worked somewhat, but the talk therapy part? Meh. Though TBF I'm not the kind of depressed where you basically function and even have a social life but just aren't happy (like the original OP), my life legitimately sucks in a lot of ways that aren't easy to change.
For me, cognitive behavioral therapy really helped a lot with my anxiety, but I needed to find a certified psychotherapist for that (I live in EU). I talked a lot with a psychologist before, but that was only midly helpful. CBT brought a lot of structure to the whole thing, and I quickly improved.
I was very sceptical, but now I’m impressed. It’s not like I gaslight myself and pretend my life is perfect, but I ended up seeing my difficulties in a more balanced view.
