is anyone else here beginning to develop something to the effect of paranoia and delusions after prolonged social isolation? i've been completely alone for over a year now, and even when i was younger i was a social outcast. lately i've begun to have these episodes where i compulsively worry/catastrophize about things like people stalking me, this weird internet conspiracy where people are stalking me and recording everything i do, something to the truman delusion. on top of this i've begun to notice that objects in my room are telepathically communicating with me; it's not like "hearing voices" as the voices are very obviously in my head in the same space as like an internal monolouge, they aren't "diegetic" really, i can tell that they aren't real and are just hallucinations, but it defintiely isn't normal.

is it possible for loneliness and prolonged social isolation to cause psychotic symptoms? am i losing my mind?

something to note in the case of comorbidity; i am diagnosed with major depressive disorder and my psychiatrist seems to believe and wants to investigate the possibility of borderline personality disorder, which may partially be related to my social isolation and why i'm in this situation in the first place. I apologize if this thread comes off as strange or weird question.

Me too OP. Mental health services told me it's an issue with my life instead.

Some suspect I have bpd, I've been having paranoid delusions and also hallucinations worsening a few months ago. My theory is it may be because of a lack of stimulation. Humans aren't supposed to be alone this long

Do you guys have any cool ideas for a source of income, small even? Realized or unrealized. Maybe something you can do from home… or alone…

Realistically, how much could I make from this?

Not much really. Depends on your strategy though, it would probably be hard to make serious money with it *now*, but if you circumvent stock agencies and go directly to buyers… maybe in the low hundreds (of dollars)

 No.9652

I do surveys. Five Surveys and Prime Opinion are all from the same company. they're legit and even gave ACH if you prefer that.

I've recently also been trying out those "Play Games and Earn Money" apps. I use Prizeplay and it's easy to make over a dollar on there within its 3 hour limit. I'd say just pick a mindless game from their catalogue, download it, and play it. It offers prepaid cards, gift cards and PayPal payments. I haven't cashed out my 1 dollar yet but I should to see if it even works. They said they'll just email your earnings.

Anything else remote and isolating requires some skill, like coding or knowing how to draw. But anyone can do that if they put their time and effort into it.

>small source of income
Idk about online income, but my first thoughts are
- Donating blood and plasma
- Pet care (Dog-walking, cat-sitting, fish-feeding)
- Tutoring
- Commissions
>Realized
Cat sitting. I do it every now and then and it's pretty neat.
I use the app Cat in a Flat https://catinaflat.com/ which makes you use Stripe for payment which I initially thought was a bit annoying but it does make the transactions feel more secure. The cat sitting app itself also takes a fee from what you earn. Overall, you'll lose 20% percent of the money you earn to a service charge, which you have to keep in mind when you set your prices. (Once you have a client, you could theoretically also do business without the app, although it's against terms of service I think).
>alone
>from home
You have to meet up with the cats' owners ofc and also send them regular updates (via WhatsApp where I'm from) with photos of the cats and you also won't be in your home but in theirs… But for me, it was really relaxing, it was basically just me going to someone's home nearby, meeting them once and then getting to chill at their place with the cats. You only have to be there for like an hour (or was it 40 minutes? it's in the contract) for every visit and do all of the cat care duties ofc, but I often stayed a bit longer. My regular client pays me to stay the night, so it's just me chilling with these adorable cats all day, taking photos, doing cat care but mostly doing unrelated stuff on my laptop while petting the cats. My regular client has a nice kitchen, shower and really comfy bed and also leaves snacks for me, I just gotta vacuum in return before they get back and it's cool, they also pay pretty well.
>All day? No way
You can also just do the 40 minute visits, you decide on the times with the pet owners afterall.

Have you guys ever experienced limerance?

I met my limerence object 2 years ago in a rythm game forum, then got closer in a discord server with people of the forum, before this I was the type of person that did not care about relationships or even friendships but being there made me apreciate having someone to talk to even if it was online.

A year passed, I was getting closer to him and slowly fell in love for the first time, every interaction felt euphoric and time without him was pure despair. After confessing due to reasons and getting rejected because of phisical distance we still were friends and I slowly got better at dealing with the addiction (I still struggle tbh)

I have been going to a therapist for this and other reasons, so he is trying to get me to know other autistic people semi-close to where I live
to have more social circles since i only have my LO's and my neighbor.

It's really hard for me to move on since we have so much in common and it feels like we were meant to be except for the phisical distance, I wish one day I find someone like him and can be in a secure relationship

I always hear that women are supposedly more emotional than men, but I can't feel emotions. At all. I have absolutely no emotional response to anything. Whether someone is complimenting me, insulting me, or even outright threatening me, I always have the same response: no response whatsoever. I do not feel joy or pleasure, nor do I feel sadness, anger, fear, or anything else. I can't think of a single time when I've ever cried, not counting when I was a newborn. I didn't even feel anything when my own father killed himself in front of me when I was a child.

What is wrong with me?

What even is fun supposed to feel like? I genuinely cannot think of a single time in my life when I've ever had fun. It's honestly like my brain just isn't wired to feel positive emotions. Nothing is fun. Nothing is enjoyable. Nothing is pleasurable. And, with zero ability to feel joy or pleasure, what reason do I even have to stay alive?

It's a whole entire problem that you can't feel positive emotions and you may wanna fix that or not but purpose doesn't need to be tied to fun or enjoyment, not even to happiness.

Find what you're good at.

Forgive me for my typing this is one of my first times posting here for context my parents were trying to have kids they had five miscarriages before me and my biological mother was a drug addict [opioid addiction] and i born a month early and was addicted to opioids
i think now that in my later teens i think it might have messed me up mentally permanently now that in mentally, my other parent my dad is a good guy but a big normie i feel like i should have never been born i feel like in another timeline if my mother actually changed her life i could have been a dumb normie with friends and a life pls anons help me cope

 No.9673

You didn't give a single reason of why you shouldn't have been born. Especially if one of your parents is good as you say.
Even if there is only downsides to your existence at the moment, you're no older than 20, you're waaaaaaaay too young to even know what value your life is gonna have at 30 or 40.
If you wanna be a dumb normie with a life and friends, more power to you, you have plenty of time to redirect your life in that direction. Hope you make it

 No.9677

The "I feel I should have never been born" got me by surprise. Don't see why you ended up reaching that conclusion.

 No.9703

i am sorry you had to go through this. but you couldn't even choose, so it's not fair to say you should have never been born as it's not your fault…
