My brother has always been a bit on the emo side, heavy metal (pic related) and scream music, emo hair (though he doesn't dress goth or anything), but today I noticed he had started cutting himself. He had the words "not enough" carved into his arm. He saw me gawking when I noticed and yelled at me a bit but won't talk to me.


I'm really worried and I don't know what to do, please help.

welp first time on this board and my family needs some help (why im coming to you autistic fucks i have no idea)

My brother in law just got caught stealing money from his work. My parents have been giving him and my sister money because of them going through hard times. I knew he has taken pain pills but hes now confessed hes addicted to them and has been stealing the money from his job to fund said habit. Not really sure what to do. My instincts say get on the phone with his boss and try and pay back the money in exchange for them dropping the charges. We have no idea where my brother in law is at the moment and he has a cc pistol, we're hoping he doesnt do anything stupid. Should we hire a lawyer right now or what? I nor my sister or family have been in trouble with the law so we have no idea what to do

Here to vent. Any input is appreciated.
TLDR- having nostalgic feelings about my ex, while thinking about how awesome of a time shes having and sinking into depression.

Basically i was with my ex for two years(first girlfriend, we got together in 11. Grade and im now in first year of med school; toxic relationship, we werent compatible and broke up like 5 times, only to get back together in a week; the relationship eas like a drug and i miss it oddly enough). During most of our fights she talked about how we should break up and find new people. After our last breakup I got together with a new girl(we have been together for 3 months now and the relationship is GREAT).y ex was furious, since i got with the new girl four days after the 5th breakup with the old one. My ex tried to get me back, but i ended the cycle.

Even now, months later i still often think about her and wonder what shes up to. She was distant when we were together, she never drank(only on her birthday), she never partied. After i broke it off she started getting wasted on the regular and i hear about it from friends. This usually saddens me, since i cant help but think about how shes having fun and socializing with people. Well today i got the worst of it. A ton of people that i know went to seaside resorts for the first few days of summer which is a big deal in my country. Im stuck in my hometown because of exams. A friend of mine called me and mentioned how he saw my ex there and i immediately started imagining how much fun shes having and how im here and shes there. I think im about to sink into depression, i havent felt like this before. I feel like my soul is ripping and have tears bulging to come out of my eyes. I dont love her, i know that even if we were together it will all be the same as all the times before. But i still hurt from her. I feel like if she were dead (or if i were)it would be the best thing to happen in my life, just so that i can finally stop thinking about what shes up to.

I've recently gone through a very difficult few hours. I messaged a girl, admitting my attraction to her, that I 'like' her. She replied in a way that struck me. She said that she already knew, that she admired my courage, and asked about how long I had had this interest in her. Perfect settings, no? Cute little questions, possibility that she might, in fact, entertain the same feelings? I ruined that. In the worst way possible. I'm an idiot. A fool. I've made it appear that I no longer feel the same way (I do, currently) and that I had given up before anything had happened. I shut it down, out of fear and loathing. Out of uncertainty of myself. So, now, goddamn, I'm screwed. What to do? What to salvage? How?

How do I reconcile being really horny, while simultaneously thinking most girls I meet are completely worthless, while simultaneously wanting a quality girlfriend?

I'm only truly interested in particular women. Most of the time girls are boring and have views on life that seem dull, shallow or foreign to me. I try to get sex regularly but I don't often find myself around women that I'm really attracted to. I feel guilty about involving myself intimately with people who frankly repulse me. It sometimes seems cruel, like they can sense that I don't find them beautiful or interesting but it feels like my only option given the people I know. I feel like I'm selling myself short, I feel like my actions make me unworthy of the type of girl that I really want.

There's a girl that I really like but she seems like the innocent type, she could easily find out about my personal activities and she'd probably be repulsed. I don't feel like there's anything wrong with sleeping around but it doesn't make me feel confident anymore. It makes me feel cheap and gross.
What should I do? Also how do I quit porn?

Why can't I get over this girl I fell for? I'm doing no contact for 5 months now and I still think about her.. She wants nothing to do with me and has made it clear that she doesn't give a fuck about me. We used to be friends. Any advice on how to get her out of my head?

Should I feel sad for killing insects? It's summer so my room's windows are always open, the light brings a lot of flying insects to my room and I hunt them down. But I feel guilt after I kill them. I just killed one green insect, its wings were really cool. But killed it, now it doesn't so look cool. Help, please. Do they feel a lot pain, should I let them be? But they don't leave me alone and attack my face.

I was recently accepted to both institutions: UW(pre-engineering major) and UCSD Cog Sci Major, and I was wondering what choice would be more beneficial in terms of academics, social environment, and proximity to job opportunities. Currently, both seem pretty much even to me but I wanted to see other people's input on the matter to have a better idea of where to attend.

Hi there /adv/. I am a little bit depressed now.

I got admitted to a canadian college (fanshawe college) a couple of months ago. I had the plan to apply to a student loan. It was going okay after it presented some issues.

I had my parents as my guarantors. My father has debts with the bank and because of that, they reduced the amount of money and the time for the period of grace. These could leave me with not enough money to finish my career and pay the costs for the living and the loan. I really wanted to study there but now it seems impossible. As you can see, I'm a fucking poor fag, but I deeply wish to overcome myself and complete a career. What can I do?

How do you deal with the death of a close relative?

My great-grandmother who raised me died today morning.

The thing is, I barely cried. If I did, it was for less than ten seconds.

I am in a position of absolute not-understanding.
