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.

Man you are saying you're considering sterilization, on the next comment you say that you have accepted that you will never find joy, and on the other comment you say that you think that nothing is that big that worths seeking professional help. Get yourself a favor and go to a therapist
What I mean by that is that I dont have doubts in my mind. I identified the problem, and I am now looking into logical solutions. Why should I pay 200$ to a shrink for them to tell me the same thing?
Because identifying the problem is just the first step. Working towards the solution is the next step and usually it is very difficult to make the breakthrough by yourself.
I had the same stance as you, I read many books, watched many videos and was trying to work on it by thinking about it by myself. However the progress I made when I actually decided to talk to a real person and working on it by actually exposing myself to the therapist is in a different magnitude
