Got a phone call for a followup interview tomorrow while I while I was driving yesterday. I wasn't able to write it down for about 30 minutes, but didn't think anything of it until just now. Now the office is closed, and I'm freaking out because I'm not sure whether it's at 8:30 or 9:30.
Should I:
>Show up at the time I think it is and take a chance
>Call them early from near their office to confirm the time
>Call them really early with an excuse to reschedule
>something else
It's a really good job, and my first interview went great so I don't want to fuck this up. I don't think I have any chance if I show up 1 hour early or late.

Call them when they open.
>hello, my name is anon. I'm calling to confirm my interview appointment for today.
The secretary will probably say something to the effect of:
> oh yes, mr balllicker, we have you scheduled for today at 8:30.
> ok, thank you. See you then.
Wa la.

>>18560112
That's what I was thinking, but I'd be calling like 30 minutes before if it's 8:30. I didn't want it to look bad.
>>
>>18560116
It won't look bad. You're just confirming it.
I remember I've always been quite a shy kid from the age seven when I never wanted to be in school. I always used to stand up for myself, ask teachers questions and never afraid to partake in grade school activities.
Then a huge shift in my personality happened when I was around 10-11 and started shutting myself off and wear a mask all the time even around my family. The mask became my real personality around 14. I don't recall the time I ever felt comfortable in my body mentally wise. I'm afraid of my interests.
I tend to blame everything on myself, my attitude has kept me from getting into hobbies because I think I'm the dumbest person on the planet and that I don't deserve a hobby.
I feel like everybody hates me and trying to get me and trying to make me suffer. I feel like I am somewhat detached from myself.
I used to have thoughts of suicide when I was 11 but now at 20, I don't get those too often. I really don't know if I'm mentally ill and I'm too scared to ask the therapist. It would bring too much attention and my family would start asking too many questions.

you experience any kind of trauma?, because that can cause dissociative stuff like that
>>
>>18560123
I can't really tell if it's trauma or not. But my father used to say how I was useless and a waste of space as a kid. Idk if that counts as trauma though.

Iv tried to pass algebra 4 times and simply haven't. I get A and B in every other class, what major should I choose ? I just want money

choose something finance or business related for easy money. everything else is going to require a lot of work on your part.
>>
>>18560068
At my 4-year school at least, algebra is the lowest credit granting math class and virtually all majors required something along those lines. Either get a tutor or start thinking about associate degrees/certs that don't require math or at least a lower math class that 4-years wouldn't even bother with (like "math skills for trades professionals" or something).
>>18560069
>OP says he can't pass what's basically the lowest level math class that actually counts (not remedial)
>do finance
You what?

How obligated am I to buy everyone birthday gifts whose birthdays I missed?
>uncle, grandma, and cousin all had birthdays between May and now
>I couldn't make it to celebrate with them
>my sister and my birthday is on the same day coming up and they want to throw a party for me
>I will be available
>I'll feel guilty showing up and accepting presents without having given anything for their birthdays
>I also am broke and don't have a lot of money to spend on their presents
Am I obligated to get them something? Should I just say I'm busy and not attend the party they want to throw us?

not that guy but it definitely helped for me
I'm borderline normie now. or at least I can blend in with them. still don't have friends though then again I'm not really a long term social person.
I'd rather have conversations with and giving advice on forums and shit than doing it irl.
read Matthew 6:25-34

I've been experiencing what some people would characterize and have hypothesized schizophrenia/psychosis, but I am unconvinced myself given the nature of the messages I've been receiving. Non the less, I'm currently out of work at the moment and am suffering from a rather debilitating bout of paranoia at the moment, so I figured I might as well look into exploiting society's biased view on my unique worldview and perception.
I have stayed in mental hospitals twice, once voluntarily, once involuntarily, however I am very opposed to them as I see them as nothing but drug factories rather than somewhere to seek treatment. Neither time I was given a diagnosis, but in various other psychiatric settings (never long term with a single doctor, always a new location), I've received cursory diagnosis of psychosis, severe depression, social anxiety and paranoia, not really enough to get a check.
What would be the best way to go about getting that jackpot diagnosis or should what I have be enough? If I had to see someone, I would tell the complete truth of what I'm experiencing, regardless of how patronizing their attitude is about my beliefs, but I don't want to waste my time and get prescribed drugs that I don't need again. I live in Florida if that helps.

How do you stop yourself from doing shit something inside your head is telling you to? We don't have free will at all.
I came out from an abusive relationship and worked on getting successful. Built a nice career for myself. Now I have something telling me I need another woman again and I can't avoid it feeling like I need it.

Hi /adv/
I have depersonalization/derealization disorder and I don't know what to do. My brain feels like thinking through mud, I can hardly function. Sometimes I dissociate so much I can hardly walk and need to focus on individually moving my legs and can't speak. I've had this for over a year now and don't know what to do.

When I was a teen, I really liked late night introspection. Good music, fresh night air, etc
For the last 7 years I've had to get up at 4 in the morning every morning and have had no late nights. I'm depressed a lot too.
Wondering, if I switch back to night owl mode, if I will get that same feeling back, or if that's something limited to being a teen?

With age comes wisdom. If you honestly think your ability to be deep peeked during your teenage years, you were probably too full of yourself then. Just try to make time whenever your schedule allows, and if it's something you want to and are motivated to do, it should come.

I recently came to visit my parents for a couple of months at their house after living two years on my own, and that feeling definately comes back. I find myself sitting on my balcony listening to slow music, hiding a cigarette at one in the morning looking at the stars. It really takes me back, and I think about how my life has changed since I lived there. Btw I'm 21.

My spirit is weak /adv/. I just don't have the drive to do anything. I don't see how people get so much out of life.
This all get much worst when I cut contact with a woman whom I was afflicted by oneitis by. I knew i had to cut on contact but it really dropped my fucking hope I guess.
I am not suicidal but really unhappy with life but I cut contact with the only thing that I can say really made me happy that isn't video games.
What do you do when the very thing killing you was probably the only thing keeping you alive? Strange conundrum.
What should I do? I have a rough time waking up in the morning despite getting 8 hours of sleep. I feel drained every day. Again, I am not suicidal, I just don't seem to be able to be happy?

Your testosterone is low. Stop masturbating.
Easier said than done, right? After you get past the first week it's not so bad. To get motivation, read articles and YouTube videos that encourage nofap, and ideally block porn sites. Fill your day with engaging activities so that you have less time to yourself doing absolutely nothing.
This will not solve your woman problem, but it will certainly make you feel better.
Let me be clear: this isn't an optional gimmick. You need to stop wanking. I'm on my 15th day now and I feel fantastic - I have high energy and drive when I wake up.

I'm dealing with a situation that has repeated itself for years to do with my mom, she is a good and helpful mom half the time hell I wouldn't even get the support I need if it were not for her but other times she turns into this horrible, abusive mom.
I'm 22 and even though I've moved out and that she still acts like me and my sister are in her pocket, willing to drop everything to go and help her NOW and if doesn't happen now because you know we normally have our own stuff to deal with she becomes abusive and resorts to alcohol while making emotional blackmail like shes going to die in two years, she can't keep on giving and giving and not getting anything back etc. the list goes on.
Right now I have to had my little brother sleep round because of her and even though the house is a shithole that isn't my mess she expected me to clean it all up even though all she does all day is sleep in bed, she doesn't work and only sometimes acts like a parent.
I feel so conflicted, I want to help her same with everyone else and we do but if we try to get on with our lives or something then she turns and becomes this, constantly ringing, texting, e-mailing anyone with abuse and if you have blocked her? She resorts to no caller ID until you have no choice but to turn your phone off.

You need to set firm boundaries with her. Tell her you can't always be available at the drop of a hat for her. Since you're moved out, it's not your responsibility to be her task slave. Set a schedule for visits/calls and tell her you can't have her calling you/requesting visits (barring emergencies) outside of those times. Make sure you have consequences if she oversteps those boundaries e.g. you won't visit her for 2 weeks or answer her calls.
Also check out https://www.reddit.com/r/raisedbynarcissists/ your mom might not be a narcissist but her behavior sounds similar to my own narcissistic mother.

Hmm alright I'll see if I can do this, I'll talk it over with my sister and see what she thinks.

At your stage and degree (seriously, who gets a BA in biochem as opposed to a BS?), anything relevant you can put on your resume helps. If taking the two classes isn't an unreasonable time, effort, or money expense, absolutely, do it.
>>
>>18559892
All my coursework for BA was the same as BS, except for Cal 2 (I was originally BS until I failed that 2x) and an option for a less intense physical chem course (I took the BS one) did I shoot myself in the foot by being bad at math? I really just couldnt even get close to passing either time

>did I shoot myself in the foot by being bad at math?
You didn't help yourself, but "shooting yourself" might be stretching it. It's stuff like this why you should do the cert if you can reasonably do it and fit it in - stand out amongst others who finished the BS.
