How do I stop myself from falling in to a bout of depression. I feel as though I'm on the verge of succumbing to a deep melancholia, and I'm determined to do anything but that.

Eat better, exercise, read books on cognitive behavioral therapy, force yourself to be social.

>>18416199

you don't really. you just keep trying to live your life and focus on the good.

when you feel sad do you actually do anything to fight it? do you take a night off to hang with your friends, or just have a beer and enjoy some video games, or listen to some soft but chill music?

most people start getting depressed and they just give in.
>>
>>18416213
When I feel sad, I just lay in bed - if I'm not at work etc - and do only that. I don't have any pals that I can constantly hit up, as they live a few hours away, it's a bit lonely where I am.
But yeah nah, I guess you have a point - treat myself to good things rather than let feeling bad take over me.
Thanks for the advice.

25 y/o former kissless virgin here. Been with my first girlfriend for almost a year now. Everything went great for the first half year except a few things I noticed some people might constitute red flags but I waved them off because of the absence of more (for example, less than a month in she told me that she ghosts people if they make her mad, no matter how close she is to them; this has yet to be done to me.)

I've begun to notice a lot of problems that I either did not notice or chose to ignore early on. She is very insecure about my love towards her and needs constant reaffirmation, verbally and physically, and if there is any, ANY down time for either of us, she wants to be together. I cannot stand any of this, I need alone time quite often and it's driving me insane, and I have tried to tell her as much but she keeps changing the subject to me not loving her enough. It's getting frustrating to have no personal time as well as be constantly doubted. She asks if I'm with another girl any time I say that I just need some alone time, and after I say no she passes it off as joking.

I have tried to talk to her about this and have failed. She is getting upset at me more often, over stupid stuff like a friendly game of tennis where one of us sees a ball in and one sees it as out.

I am beginning to question the longevity of this relationship but because it's my first one I have no standard to compare it to and so I'm unsure of what to do. I can't continue like this, but I don't know if it's to the point where I should end it. I want to find somebody to spend my life with and I am questioning whether or not it's this person, and if I have these questions, is it fair for me to tie her down to myself for any longer.

What do?

Just say, "I would not cheat on you and if i ever wanted to for any magical reason, I would break up with you first before having sex or go out with another woman"

Its reassuring. dont know how she will take it but thats what i would say
>>
A relationship like that just isn't for you, you're just not compatible. You should try to find another girl and you should probably tell her you do need alone time. Or fuck, why not just try to get a fwb? maybe that would work better for you than a relationship (for now at least)

I have more or less told her this exactly multiple times. She responds well to it but a few weeks or a month later it seems that we're right back to the same stuff.

>>18416200
I'm really not interested in casual sex so I've never considered the fwb thing. I would really like to work things out with her, she's a very honest person who wants something long term, to start a family, hasn't ridden the cock carousel and is pretty conservative, yet submissive (excluding this problem) and that's a lot of what I'm looking for.

How do I fall out? Should I ghost a bitch? She's engaged to another dude but holy crap I love her. She has an amazing body but she's fat so her self esteem is shit. Fuck she's evil though don't trust her. Is a happy middie possible? I want to be her friend, we can't hook up anymore because I'm feeling guilty because I like her. Fuck this puzzle it's 1/5 but I used trig. I'm a brainlet for not knowing how to use patterns. Also, computer science worth it or fuck it just pure math degree??

You don't really need to use math to figure out it's 1/5 green right? Like, all the smaller side bits can be paired with a bigger bit to make a square the same size as the green square I think.

>applied to job a grocery store
>went for interview. had to wait 20 mins and ask 2 times for the lady to appear. get offered job I didn't apply for. accepted it.
>go in for paper work. wait 40 minutes and had to ask multiple times for the lady to appear
>go in for third day for orientation. lady wasn't at the store
>call next day. lady says she is busy and will call me back. (she never called me back)

This is for a below minimum wage job. (they force you to join a union and it takes your money leaving you with less than min wage)

The only reason I am even contemplating whether I should put in effort is because I haven't been successful in any other interviews. This is just a job for the summer because I am a college student. The summer is a 1/4 of the way done and I have nothing but this. I want this job so my parents get off my back and stop giving me a hard time dragging me around with them.

What do?

Need condom advice

My girlfriend wants me feeling more from our sex and she doesn't trust birth control lol

What are the thinnest-ass condoms? I want Ned Flanders "nothin' at all" tier
8 posts and 2 images submitted.

Pasante's ribbed and dotted are the best condoms I've ever used, and I've been through pretty much anything available where I live.
They also do some extra thin ones, might be worth a shot, but I've found that the overall fit is far more imoprtant than the thinness of the barrier - if what you're using today grips too tightly, essentially choking off blood flow around the base of the shaft, that's what you need to fix first.
You might not even notice it at first, but a good way to tell, is that if you get a distinct ring imprint on your dick after taking off the condom, it's too tight for you, and that's going to matter more than the fabric being a few microns thicker than one of those "extra sensation" ones.

The best advice I can give you, is to just get a bunch of different brands and models, try them out, and then buy bulk once you hit the perfect one for you. It's worth the investment, because you'll know exactly what to use for the rest of your life (or at least until you no longer need condoms).

skyn or anything else made from polyisoprene

Any civil engineers here than can tell me about their work?
I'm considering studying civ. eng. because it seems like it has secure job prospects, however I have absolutely zero interest in buildings or building processes. I'm a nerdy person, but not completely autistic. I'm not smart enough for science (tried physics for a few semesters), pretty good at talking but I don't particularly enjoy talking to strangers and am generally anti-social. I'm mostly concerned about having to be outside a lot, so I'd like to know whether there's good possibilities for a regular desk job with this degree.

Also, any advice on other very safe things to study in Europe (Germany)?

If you have the smarts to do an engineering degree, pick one you like. Life will work its way to where you'll have to end up after that
>>
>>18415938
I really don't have a passion for any engineering degree. I just want a job that's well paid and secure. I know it sounds kinda scummy and if I had a passion for something that could make money without risking to end up homeless I'd do that instead.

>>18415873
I got my license and degree in mech engineering but my current title is civil engineer. If you don't want to talk to people you're in the wrong career path. A stupid engineer that talks to, engages, and coordinates with people will fuck up a lot less than a smart engineer that keeps to himself. Unless you work for the government or something. Engineering for the most part is a social industry. As an engineer you will need knowledge of a broad amount of subjects and be able to call into the technical expertise of others often.

A group of people I know were planning this big trip for months, and one of the people cancelled. They needed to find someone to take their place so they invited me, kind of last minute.

Am I a chump for agreeing to go, or should I stop being a retard and just be happy that I was invited at all?

This seems to happen often, they'll make plans and I'll be the last one invited. Not sure what to think of it.

Be happy they invited you. Could they take all their friends,of course not. I'm sure there's only room for so many. If they didn't like or consider you a real friend they wouldn't offer at all.
>>
>>18415817

depends really. you say this is the norm but how bad is this? do you invest more in them then they do in you? or are you just mad that some people who kind of know you invite you when theres room but havent taken the time to declare you their bff?

> do you invest more in them then they do in you?

No not really, good point.

> or are you just mad that some people who kind of know you invite you when theres room but havent taken the time to declare you their bff?

Yah most of them don't know me all too well, so I guess I'll just take the grateful route and be happy with the invite.

Thanks for the words.

So I've been dealing with depression almost all my life.
Got a diagnosis at 17.

The recent 9 months has been the worst the depression has ever hit me. Nightmares every night, impossible to focus, no motivation to do literally anything (Even brushing my teeth or showering is hard for me.).

However the last 3 days, I've felt oddly well rested after sleeping, I've had weird dreams instead of nightmares, too.
I feel like I am myself for the first time in 9 months and I have no idea why.

I am so scared that the fact I have no idea why I'm feeling better, will make me unable to cope once I fall back into depression.

What do I do.

Can anyone help me set this up and solve?

Consider the 52.0-kg mountain climber in Figure 5.22. (a)
Find the tension in the rope and the force that the mountain
climber must exert with her feet on the vertical rock face to
remain stationary. Assume that the force is exerted parallel to
her legs. Also, assume negligible force exerted by her arms.
(b) What is the minimum coefficient of friction between her
shoes and the cliff?
9 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
sum of all forces must equal zero on the woman
T + W + Fwall = 0
split into x and y components and solve
>>
Also keep in mind that friction scales with force applied perpendicular to the surface, so you'll have to use the Flegs, some trig and this 15 degree angle to calculate that.
>>
>>18415796
But what about N force extending opposite of Flegs?

I'm moving to poland for the erasmus and I'm scared of how relations with people are gonna end up

I hate remain in silence with stranger so I end up talking too much about dumb shit thus passing for a weirdo

I'm losing hair and confidence too

I don't know what kind of people are going to be there and if they are gonna be all party boy I'll be a fish out of water

My humor is bad and 7/10 I need (or feel like) to explain the joke; I tend to be aggressive or "insult" others when I'm just kidding.

I'm afraid of not making any friend, make just superfiial relationship, be laughed at.

It could just be over thinking or the reflection of general anxiety this experience is giving me. I'm 20, i feel lost and I don't really know who I am, hopefully I'll get answer there or sadly depress myself

What country are you from and what city are you going to visit?

And it in generally depends. Here in Poland we were supposed to be known for our hospitality and being open, but now our government is far right so dumb racists and haters feel like they are doing the right thing and are more rampant. Students here tend to drink heavily, but not always in a form of a party. But there are a lot of shut-ins that just want peace and to actually learn something, so it's not like everyone is loud. You'll fit in, one way or another. Give your conversation partner time to respond, prolonged silence is not always bad. I don't know how aggressive you are when you're joking but playful insults are not unusual between friends here. Just be polite, don't hesitate to ask about our language or the city and some people will take care of you. At least here in Wroclaw cute female students tend to be the ones who are active in programs like Erasmus.

You can't imagine my saltiness when my obnoxious, loud as fuck Ukrainian roommate kept hanging out with the prettiest girls in the whole dormitory.

here's a message i want to send to an ex:
>so I've been weighing up sending this message for a while, but I wanted to ask if you still "like" me at all? I know I'm the one that broke off what we had going, but honestly you've been on my mind ever since then, and I just think that like if I heard your definitive outlook then it'd help me to move on, because having this stuff on my mind all the time is pretty tiring. I'm aware that sending this message is kind of a shitty, selfish thing to do, so I am sorry, but I couldn't put it off any longer.

context (can provide more if necessary):
>had a fling, spent a fair amount of time together
>broke up a few weeks ago because i wasn't fully committed (i still live with another ex)
>even know i was sure of mind when i made the decision, i now spend every night awake with gut wrenching anxiety, regret, paranoia...

pls respond. i feel like i'm not mentally equipped to deal with break ups. i plan on sending the message tomorrow.

oh, i feel this is kind of relevant: this person often strikes up conversation with me over facebook, and also has sent me hearts etc out of the blue. i am not messaging out of the blue myself here.
>>
>>18415658
Messaging him would be a good way to communicate the idea that you want to be back with him and you have put your shit together and surpassed whatever obstacle you had before. But this is not the case (still living with another ex?) and you are just confusing him more. Leave the guy alone, get yourself together. Cut contact.
>>
>>18415690
thanks for your reply.
it's true, i have not yet moved beyond my obstacles. cutting contact is not really possible as our social circles are extensively overlap.

i am trying to get myself together, i thought sending this message would be a step in that direction? if I just get a confirmation that everything is over between us I feel like I'll be liberated, and absolutely freed from most if not all of my anxiety, which is largely based around "I fucked up and need to make things right". I know there's a chance of the answer being yes, but I really want that "no, it's over".

I've lived with this terrible roommate. I dont have the means to move out and my lease needs to be re signed soon. Its gonna be the 3rd year were resigning the lease.

I have never been so depressed in my life. I thought I knew depression when I was younger, back then I was just angry and confused. I leave, my girlfriend and I were building magic decks. I had a book sitting on the table I was reading. All of it is thrown on the couch where I sit in a messy pile. A speaker I was using is unplugged and put on my seat. I'm not living here, only existing. This is only a small example. Extremely liberal SJW news plays at all hours in my house, degrading shit about how white men are the root of all evil. My roommate never leaves. Most of my friends are moved away or in long term relationships or are work schedules dont match, i have nowhere to go most days.

I want to snap and beat this kids ass, but I know i'll go to jail if it happens. I can't move, i barely make enough to pay the bills. My girlfriend, who is my only distraction from this, is moving across the country to live with her mother.

I've never felt so low in my life. I've seen friends die and go through hard problems with drugs and alcohol and I thought that was low...This is different than that. I dont have the energy to do anything anymore, I just feel defeated.

Can't, long story short, can't leave the state until the end of the year. On top of that, I got car payments and credit card bills that need to be paid off. We'll go our seperate ways but we'll see eachother again, its always been that way with this girl

>>18415646
He wont move out, i've already tried. Even if he did, I dont know who would come live here. I could get a better job and pay his half of rent myself, but hes not moving, I already asked him, and were both on the lease.

Why you give her your number? What are you, a pussy? Are you insecure and scared? You have to dominate man, YOU take her number next time. And you let the bitch wait then for your call. So turn this shameful page and write a new one.
>>
>should i wait or just give up?

Literally what difference would it make? Youd be doing the same shit either way. Keep moving forward bro. You can only worry about what is in your control and this one isnt. The only "difference" in those two options is your mindset. Obviously go with the mindset that is most beneficial to you ie. dont get hungup on a girl you barely know.

i didn't want to be too forward and look weird. i wanted to look friendly and make it seem like i wanted to get to know her more and become friends

the thing is i've been thinking about her non stop ever since i talked to her. i've liked her for about half a year before we even talked for the first time. i would love to not think about her, but i thought she could be my chance at a girlfriend. (btw she's about a 3/10 in looks)
