Topic: My Story of Sorrow

Posted under Off Topic

Today, I'm actually in sorrow. It's because of the MLP dating sim made by Pokehidden. I noticed some gifs from the game and got curious. I started playing it some days ago and I really enjoyed it. I'm no brony. I have never been interested in the fandom. I'm sure that the cartoon is pretty good, but I have never bothered with it. Here's the thing. The game; the MLP universe hit a weak spot in me. The way they live and know each other. I don't think I need to explain this.
The unbelievable privilege to visit the world (if only for three days). I'm sure the main character would be a dreamer, too, judging by the way the game starts with a view of the bedroom. Then there's the element of oldschool graphics and beautiful music. Especially the chiptune remix of the MLP theme. Music plays a huge role in stirring emotion in me. Surprisingly, I even fell in love with one of the characters (no, not Fluttershy). Even been unable to stop thinking about her. When sadness reaches a level such as today's, I also lose the will to live. Maybe I should avoid watching the series or play any other MLP games as that would surely increase this state.

The reason I'm so rarely sad may be because my subconscious is protecting me. I had a similar experience with Pokemon. It played a big part in almost driving myself over the edge years ago. Some unfortunate experiences started a long lived depression and the beauty of Pokemon made it much worse. Experiencing the Pokemon fever as a kid have been the best part of my life. I have moved on and I have it much better today, though I am probably forever changed, having lost a large part of my spirituality. It used to be a strong part of me. Maybe I still have it, suppressed inside me. I guess I will know with time. Having gone through this, I can't help but feel that I live on overtime.

It's a chance I will regret posting this, but it feels like the right thing to do at the moment.

In all honesty, I have also suffered through several depressions in the past due to insecurity about my passion for Pokémon and its world. This happened just about when I became a member here. I had to struggle to finish my University courses and I almost didn't make it. That was a real down-period for me. I never had suicidal thoughts but I think if I failed another course and my debt would have piled up, I might have considered it.

If it wasn't for a certain friend whom I'm now working with by doing pics and animations together, I would probably have given up on this site by now and probably spiral further down into a sad state. I'm so glad my friend came along and helped me through this just by listening and understanding. I'm still not completely healed but I have been improving a lot and I'm more comfortable.

I urge you to reach out to someone you can trust to talk about how you feel and share your experiences. It helped me so much and I sincerely hope it can help you too.

Best of luck.

That is the most interesting reaction I've ever heard of to MLP. I can't even formulate a proper response to it, just don't kill yourself over ponies? That would suck. I don't know, see a therapist or something.

MLP has a tendency to make people a whole lot happier. I myself frowns all the time (smiling is tiring) but always smiles while watching the show.
If you're in depression pills work better though

Although smiling doesn't ACTUALLY require less muscles than frowning, it DOES make you happier, while frowning makes you less happy. What? Smiling can make you happy? Yup.

If I could, I'd add "Brony" to my resume, alongside "Pokémon Master" and "Nintendo fanboy".

I agree. I can't stand MLP

That doesn't mean I hate the fans, but i will admit they do annoy me...

I stopped watching MLP because of the fans.

I ended up really regretting posting this and went into a dark place for a few days. I made a promise to myself that I won't make comments on the site (which is fun) until I took the courage to check up on this thread. Up until now I haven't felt that it was worth it.

Pretty embarrassing to look back at my post. Some mood I must have been in. And yes, I have been to therapy some years ago. Though I kept this part of me secret. I probably won't either if I go back. The inner drama about it is pretty dead now. Until it rears its ugly (or beautiful, I guess) head again at least.

I'm confused, if you love it, how does it leave you depressed?

If you're going to kill yourself, at least don't do it over ponies.

Good question. Maybe I instinctively wishes for something similar? A factor could be that it wakes up my sleeping emotions and spiritualism which reminds me of what I have lost. In the past, during and after my crisis I used to fear losing my love for my favorite franchise so I would get very anxious coming in contact with it.
Good question indeed. I need to think about it.

No worries. I'd rather kill myself over Pokémon.

Hope it's fine now.
Also 10 months isn't exactly "few days".

Interestingly after seenig Zootopia i have fallen into a small emotional crisis wich is funny becouse a saw some deep artistic movies before but they never made me think about serious stuff, not like Zootopia.
So after seeing the move for the first time i felt pretty shitty i tought about universes and how to extend them and other deep philosophical stuff, wich can depress i think anyone, but i quickly over come it saying that "if i writhe a fanfictinon i can extend the zootopia universe atleast a little bit."
Actually thinking about seriuous stuff can depress you easily but you have to think about philosophical sometimes
Or you can just be like: "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
I think if you have enough willpower and you can compromise with your self you can overcome almost any problem or philosophical crisis. I hope i was understandable.

Remind me why are you on a rule 34 site about your personal problems again?

This is not a rule 34 site. This site is much better than that shitty rule 34.

This is a furry artwork archive, not a furry porn site.

Regardless this isn't the type of site he should be on.
If he's seriously considering suicide over this he should probably see a doctor or something instead of talking to strangers online.

But hey that's just one faggots opinion.
