Come in, take a seat, and let your thoughts flow. Have a bad day at work? Come vent in here. Bad trip? We've been there. Your wife not filling out the ham:cheese ratio quite right on your sandwich? Let us know. Your dealer ripped you off? We've got advice! If you just want to come in here and bitch about being butthurt, fine by me!
Make yourself at home.

Vent, give other shroomerites advice, bad mouth Flo, have a good time. Keep throat punching to a minimal.

How does one deal with depression even in the midst of constant creative, physical, and intellectual stimulation?

sometimes i judge myself really harshly, without even meaning to or being able to refrain from it
but I feel a lot better when I remember not to take everything so personally

Productivity is often a good start to dealing with depression. Anything to keep the mind busy.

I am the exact same way, bro. I think there's pros and cons to that. Be real with yourself, but don't get so down on yourself to the point where you lose all self-confidence. There could be underlying problems to that (traumatic events, depression?) but just remember, you are a result of your own thoughts (In my opinion).

yes, for me something that helps is trying to think positively about other people as well, it just helps everything if i can remember to do it.

i am having a hard time finding/creating meaningful connections with the day to day reality... most shit seems so pointless, and im growing tired of pretending just to appease those around me.

Then why not start to appease yourself? 
It's your life, you should make yourself happy (as long as that doesn't involve hurting others, of course).

well sure, that works on paper... but dealing with family/coworkers, etc... often times its best to bite your tongue and just pretend like you give a shit, you know? otherwise, shit may just get worse. or maybe not, i dont know.

Right on! I think another thing that's useful is to make your mind shut up! When you start to think negatively, shut those thoughts off. You're better than that and you control your mind; not the other way around.

I second that!
It sounds almost like boredom? Or may constant repetition? Correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe try new things and focus on YOU! That's what matters.

That's not just you, my friend. If it doesn't hurt them, maybe offer your side of things? I'm personally not the kind of dude to correct people, but it sounds like maybe you have insight to offer?

I have a deep-seated dissatisfaction with myself and the world around me that persists even when I'm doing well by any given societal standard.
I always want something new and when I get it I want more, or something different. It doesn't matter what it is, knowledge, money, women, power, drugs, spirituality, consumer products, I'm only happy with it for a short period of time and then I'm bored with it and in search of something new.
I know this is the case but I still give in each round, often consciously aware that I'm falling back into the same cycle over and over again. I don't think I'm insane though because I know better than to expect different results.
Diagnosis?

Awesome!!
And I'm great, thanks for asking. Currently drinking a few brewskis and looking for a party to occupy tonight.

Diagnosis?
Doesn't sound like insanity to me. Seems like you haven't found that one 'thing'. I could be wrong. I'm obviously not a professional. But I believe that if you keep searching, and keep your head up, you'll find something to occupy the rest of your life with. For me, it was martial arts. I was always hyper, unsatisfied, aggressive, etc. Martial arts cured all for me. Maybe take the time to meditate on what you have and where you'd be without it. Try to cultivate appreciation and gratification for the things you have... I know I need to do this. Hope that helps.
Your diagnosis: Awesome, with a great sense of yourself. Not many people are that in touch with themselves and that's a gift of its own.

Get your lazy ass up and workout! I hate training sometimes but you have to make yourself. You may dread it but literally make yourself workout and you won't regret it afterwards.
Diagnosis: Laziness. Haha, but really, nike style: just do it. Whatever it is, go for it.

what i need is a new reality, one i can call home. i dont feel i fit in here, and i have a hard time identifying with something worth sticking around for. im just going through the motions, no real drive or passion. nor the motivation to do anything about it.
my communication skills seem sub par when dealing with the public, from both the personal and professional perspectives. its like im speaking a different language. often times people seem to assume im angry. and this makes them angry. most cases im not, but even if i was, so what? fuck you, leave me alone. sometimes im just confused, and dont understand what the fuck they are saying. this also makes them angry. i am not allowed to be angry, but if i am, or possibly appear to be, this justifies their anger and then i have issues.
specifically at work, more specifically with coworkers. i guess i just need a new job, but its always the same shit where ever i go. so the only other option is to just pretend like im mr fuckin happy go lucky... but no, that doesnt always work either. then im being sarcastic. i cant win. makes me want to quit playing.

I'm at a terrible crossroad. I hate working out my lower body. For some reason, I find it boring and pointless. Plus I'm worried that when I do squats, I'll hurt my legs and back. And if I work out my upper body too much, I won't look right because my upper body will be buff and my lower body will be skinny. Help me work out my lower body.

Don't quit playing. No success in quitting. It sounds like you're just seriously bored. Same repetitive shit. Same job. Same people, problems, etc. Maybe than rather fake happiness, you should try to achieve real happiness. Putting on a show is one thing, but it definitely gets old. Take some time to yourself, bro. Do something exotically new- whether it sounds appealing or not. Work on your outlook on life.

From personal experience, I've gotten my legs huge in the past few weeks just from doing frog jumps, wall sits, and other explosive exercises. It takes more to work out your legs since you use them so often and it can be way more boring. Seriously, grab some weights, and do alternating squats (but with one leg in front, 90 degree angle, and the other in back, knee almost touching the ground). You'll get thunder thighs in no time. Btw, I'm 6'3" so if I can work out my granddaddy longlegs, you can too!
