This is a blue board which means that it's for everybody (Safe For Work content only). If you see any adult content, please report it.

This is a problem almost suited for /x/ but I have to ask here. Something happened to me that makes no logical sense whatsoever. And it's very scary. I need your problem solving skills /adv/.

I suffer from night terrors. I had an incident where I had a mother of all night terrors completely different from the others.My family who witnessed it and I both have completely different stories on what happened during the night terror. And each side seems like it makes it impossible for the other side to have happened.

This was my side. I'm chilling in bed. Relaxing. I look over and see a ghastly shadow arm with all sorts of crazy effects on the fingers stretching over and across my moonlit desk towards me. Behind the arm, in the dark I see a jetblack indication of a grotesque figure moving in on me quickly

I let out ONE huge scream and I run through that thing to get to the door and get to the hallway. Here's the problem. They say that I screamed at least 8 times while I was in my room.

So what happened to me? If I screamed 8 times then I would have woken up in immediate fight or flight and would not have felt relaxed or slow to spook like I was. It took a few chill seconds for me to realize that ghastly hand was not a regular shadow or something. Then I freaked out.

So what's up?

you can scream in your sleep and not wake up.. sounds like you have sleep issues. it's possible that before you jumped out of bed, you were lucid dreaming. ever had sleep paralysis?

You were abducted.

People talk in their sleep and don't wake themselves up. Why do you find it so hard to believe you screamed in your sleep?

I just bought a Galaxy S5 off ebay because i need to get apps that are no longer supported by the outdated os iphone 4 uses.
It is currently running 6.0.1 marshmallow, and to upgrade I have to "Consent to the collection and use of personal information" which I don't want to do.
Since it's from Korea it also has a couple Korean apps that I can't delete.
It also has some worthless Samsung apps I can't delete that are constantly updating. Is it safe to root an android, and is it worth doing to manually update the OS and delete apps I don't want? What is the risk of bricking the phone?

Second, the battery drain is insane. How do i prevent apps from being active and/or access networks when the phone is locked/sleeping, and are there any apps that i should allow to do this?

I'm getting older, I'm 22, and I have found that there seems to be a disconnect between me and girls. I use to be really popular with the ladies, and on top of life a few years back, but then it slowed down, I lost my game, and I worked on myself more then getting into relationships. Now I feel like I'm good, I am generally positive, and I think having a nice gf would make me feel even better. So, what are some ways I can get back into the dating scene, and what are some things that women find attractive in a man around my age. Fem anons, I'm looking at you now.

Alright, cheers, pic unrelated

When a female says they're bored it's not good.

Try different things with her, experience new things with her.

Women run on emotions and very little logic. So do things that appeal to her emotions.

It's 2017 bro you can't say that shit....

What the hell were you doing driving around at 4AM OP? Don't tell me you were literally just driving around, because if that wasn't her idea then that's why she was bored. It was obviously not something she wanted to do, and you picked something boring. So yeah try something else more entertaining then just driving next time... And why the hell were you up at 4AM? There's like a few things to do at that time like get home from a bar, be fucking someone, doing drugs, or waking up for work. Ya'll shoulda been fucking in some risky place or something.

So I have a friend who I've been flirting with for a little less than a week now. We're kinda getting more open about our feelings. His is more like "I really wanna fuck you" and mine is like "I'm lonely". So we were thinking friends with benefits. We had our first kinda foreplay session today. No sex. Just teasing and stuff. And my mind is all over the place. Idk how to feel. I'm scared. I'm shy so I'm kinda uncomfortable. I've never done this before and I've only has sex with one other person. Help?! What do you guys suggest??

don't do it. why? because:

you are setting yourself up for emotional disaster.

find someone special that likes you, not one that is just horny and wants to fuck(you).

Don't. Fucking. Do it. Tell him you changed your mind. You're in it for very different reasons and you WILL regret it later, probably when you're in a relationship you're happy with.

If you have any plans to be in a stable relationship (which is a much better cure for loneliness than casual sex) built on a good foundation of honesty and mutual respect, don't do it. Having a fuck buddy makes you less respectable, and explaining to someone you love that you used to be into that is embarrassing and you'll have to spend a lot of time convincing them you're not a slut.

Hey all, I just took my first dose of Zoloft, 50mg for anxiety and depression. What can I expect? Dog pic unrelated.

>>18632755
nothing for the first month because it doesn't do anything until 1-3 months, unless it happens to cause any negative side effects like diarrhea before then.

>>18632755
Antidepressants typically take 2-6 weeks before the users start actually noticing a change in mood. The anxiety will likely be helped sooner.

It's hard to say what you can expect because every patient is different

I used to be on and off of antidepressants including zoloft, when I first started taking them after not taking them for a while my mental health would get significantly worse, kinda like having PMS if you know what that does to you, they also make you gain weight most of the time, you might not actually feel good, just not bad, kinda in the middle/numb

My girlfriend from like 20 years ago contacted me saying that her daughter is 100% mine and my daughter wants to get to know me. We broke up because she cheated on me and apparently she had gotten pregnant around that time. The guy she cheated on me with was thought to be her father but it was discovered they are not related. I said no initially but she pestered me for weeks so I said okay, I'll take a DNA test and we'll see where it goes from here.

I met up with her and my apparent daughter, got a DNA test and well, she's mine. So I'm not sure what to do from here, kind of panicking. Can she sue me for child support? The guy she cheated on me with is on the birth certificate and he raised her to adulthood completely. If she can't, should I just cut contact and forget this ever happened? I don't feel like anything good can come from this, I mean she has her dad already. I'm just some guy who fucked her mom.

Do you think of your friends often?

If I find something that reminds me of a friend, I'll tell them or send them a link or something. If there's a digital game or album on sale that's cheap, I'll buy it for them if I think they would enjoy it.

Part if me feels like because I do this, maybe my friends just don't think about me as much as I think about them. But maybe this is just something I do that's kind of unusual.

So, do you do anything like this?

Its possible that you think of them more than they think of you, but be careful with that line of thought as it can lead to resentment of your friends. Furthermore, everyone interacts with others in their own unique way and mamy people are inherently selfish, but this doesnt mean you should judge them as lesser than yourself; a better way to go about it would be to accept that your friends aren't capable of showing they care for you in the way you care for them.

everyones a little different. i do this a little bit and ill send pictures. my friend on the other hand won't let me know about it. His girlfriend tells me how he doesn't stop talking about me like they'll be at a store and pick something up and be like 'i wonder if anon would like one of these' that sort of thing. other people probably dont have you pop into their mind much at all. everyones different.

just say 'bump' next time instead of sounding like a twat. this is a slow board, it can take a while for anyone to respond to anything and your post wasn't particularly interesting or dire. you know its not 'just you then', its just that people didn't respond.

next time just say 'bump'

Just find an awkward person and start a conversation with them. Or you could join a club or sport (job works too) and talk to people there who like doing the same thing you're doing.

It's not hard..

Watch movies and videos and see what sparks your interest. Go outside and observe people. Dress abnormallly and put on crazy makeup. Talk insanely in front of the public and watch their reactions. Keep yourself busy with your own mind. It's quite simple. Just do and don't think.

How does one fight laziness?

Whenever exams are coming up and it's time to study the hardest, I seem to just give up. I feel stressed when I have to study and I cope with that stress by sleeping and playing video games instead of facing the job at hand. It's like my flight-or-fight reflex always go to flight mode. How can I fix this? I want to be a person who can force himself to study 14 hours a day when necessary.

This shit might just ruin my life. I'm in medical school and I keep repeating years because of this. I don't even understand myself. I know what I need to be doing yet I still don't do it.

The head of my dick has been smelling foul (kinda like fish) these last few days. The smell persists even after I wash it with soap. It mysterious goes away sometimes only to return for no apparent reason.

I'm circumcised, healthy, and see no other issues with my dick. Does anyone know what's going on?

Go to the local doa and ask them to narrow down the car based on its make and model with it's partail plate. May cost 20 bucks. Find out where he lives and go use a bat on the vehicle.

I'm getting married in a few months, but I'm not happy about it and don't want to get married. I don't even want to be with this girl anymore.
The problem is I don't want to get married and want to be single for selfish reasons. First off, I have a good life. I have a good job, I'm generally not depressed, I have friends, hobbies, and my fiance' is a great person. She's kind, loyal, funny, accepting of who I am, patient, everything I could want in a partner. There's no reason for me not to be with this girl.
This is the part that's really selfish, but I don't want to live my life with someone yet. I just don't feel like it's worth it. I want to be able to do what I want when I want without having another person to consider and be responsible for. I only moved out of my parents' house about a year ago, and I still feel young (I'm 22 if anyone's wondering) and want to be on my own and do what I want before settling down. I don't even mean dating other women, other women can fuck off. I don't even care about the sex, I just mean doing my own thing for awhile. I always find myself wanting time to myself or just for it to be quiet without anyone else in my apartment. It's not that she isn't great. She does so much for me, and she's head over heels for me and tells me every day how much I mean to her. It makes me feel like shit that I don't want to be with her. Even with how wonderful she is, I just think a lot about how single life would be better. I wouldn't have to entertain someone else every day, I would spend a lot less money every week and actually start saving money. I could watch what tv shows I want, I could go anywhere I want, I could have as much freedom to pursue hobbies as I want. I could have as much alone time and solitude as I want. I just want freedom and autonomy to use my time how I want, and being with someone, much less marrying someone, feels like I'm signing that freedom away forever. (1/2)

I would have broken it off way before we got engaged, but she has no friends, her family doesn't live anywhere near us and her and her family are really poor so she depends on me a lot financially. She also depends on me a lot emotionally since she has no friends. She's got anxiety, an eating disorder, and is really depressed and has tried to commit suicide in the past. I technically have broken it off before. Last year, we broke up for a few months and during that time she became extremely depressed and talked about ending her life because she said it wasn't worth living anymore (I later learned she was planning to kill herself if we didn't get back together). I got back together with her because I was scared for her and felt it was the right thing to do anyway. She's been so happy since we got back together and then got engaged. Calling off the wedding and breaking up with her wouldn't just make her unhappy, she'd probably try to kill herself. I don't hate her or anything, she's a good person. The last thing I want is for her to commit suicide.
I feel like such a horrible person for not wanting to be with this girl. I've tried being happy about the marriage, I've tried to only focus on the good things I have with her, but I just keep coming back to wanting to be by myself. When I do get time to myself, I usually try to savor it by watching tv shows I don't normally get to watch or playing video games and then dreading her coming back and losing my freedom to spend my time how I please. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be alone forever. If we were both in our 30's I feel like I would act differently about this. I'm afraid it's too late since both of our families and all our friends are coming to this, everyone is so excited for us, we've already paid for a lot of the wedding; I would be ruining all of my family and friends' expectations for my own selfish wants. Still, I just don't see how I'm supposed to get married when I'm so unhappy about it. (2/3)
>>
Should I stop whining about this and just be happy I'm marrying someone who's a good person, or should I break up with her anyway? And if I should break up with her, how do I keep her from killing herself? (3/3)
>>
Sounds like there's some aspects of your relationship that you need to work out, such as how much alone time you need.

Alone time is a valid claim, but you can only have so much of it (otherwise you're not really in a relationship), and your partner needs to know that it's not because you're mad at them or don't like them anymore.

The most logical solution would be to sit down and talk these things over with your fiancee, and she will probably understand as long as you word it nicely. It's good to air these things out now before the pressure of being a "just-married" perfect couple settles in.

If you wanted to be single so you could see other people that would be problem, but it seems like you just need more time to dick around and do your own thing.

On the other hand, if you really really really don't want to get married, call it off. Swallow your pride and call it off. The gradual deterioration and divorce years down the line will be worse than the short-term embarrassment. However, make sure you're doing it for the right reasons, and not just because you want more time to play video games.
