Hey /adv/, do you know much about Eating Disorders?

I've been dealing with Bulimia for over 10 years (I'm 22) and can't get myself to stop throwing up about 25% of what I eat. I feel the urge and I do it, no matter where I am or what I'm doing. I can't do IOP, but I'm curious as to what you might do to stop the vomiting.

>I refuse to do the thing that would help me but what can I do to fix it???
In that case: keep doing it until you get throat/mouth cancer and can't eat normally anymore.

Hi, OP. I'm an on/off bulimic. The best advice I can give you is to either distract yourself, or restrict your intake so you will feel the urge less.

My uncle as gay and bulimic
He got AIDS since he was gay in the 80s/90s

He died in the late 90s because he didn't stop his bulimia. He went into the hospital a walking skeleton and died like that.

I don't know what else I can say. Don't eat? That's it I guess

Hey, /adv/

My school has a late policy that says if you hand in an assignment late you get a certain amount of marks off. Recently I handed in an assignment 10 minutes late and my teacher gave it a 0. Is he allowed to do that?

What the fuck? 10 minutes? He's a cunt.
Kick up a fuss about it. Even if he's allowed to take off marks, a fucking zero is way beyond his means, especially when you didn't even submit it a day late.

is this middle school or some shit?
holy fuck dude wtf

Just gonna cry. Help?

We were tripping on acid. I finished making out with her and decided I wanted to read some books on philosophy and play chess. So she dumped me, suggesting I would be a better match for her friend. Which may have been true on an intellectual level, but it was her I loved.

Well anyway I was fine at first, completely rebuilt my mind from the ground up. It's been over 2 years, and I still miss her every day. I had met her family with the intention of marrying her. Then the acid changed everything.

Now she's dating some faggot she posts about on insta. I've fucked something like 5 women since her, but nothing can fill the void. Dropped acid again and all I could see was her.

It's hard to find a beautiful jazz-singer hippie native american soulful dancing painter girl. It's hard to top that. And she was so overwhelmingly in love with me, and I her. Because of the drugs, I couldn't tell the difference between her and me, nor could she, and that level of intimacy - assimilated oneness or psychological fusion - is difficult to achieve in this life and blissfully ecstatic.

She did some photoshoots with photographers who I'm sure she fucked, and when I called her out on it she got all "you don't own me, it's my body, I can do what I want". So there we go, the love of my life turned into an absolute fucking whore. And I'm now no better, railing woman after woman trying to fill that void. I haven't felt love since her, I've just been playing the part of Don Juan with a phone full of women's numbers. C'est la vie I guess.

nice blog post, theres always some cock to suck for you out of there faggot.

You sound bias, but even past that it sounds like she might of liked you but definitely didn't love you. She was chasing her own pursuit of individuality you weren't apart of that. You never will be, because even if she goes back she will be just settling for a comfort that does satisfy her "free spirit" but you're better off from these people.

Dude shes probably getting railed while you were together, those type of girls you're better off without. They're in there own minds "free spirits" none of us a free, we sign a social contract from the moment we are born, those who thing they do not have to bring nothing to the table will get treated as so, she will end up a nothing. Work on you and what you can bring to the table. Better that, so that it becomes your table people provide to and take from. This is life.

Save your bohemian bullshit, a girl is difficulty mindless and unconquerable. The only time you conquer them is when you get them to a point that there is nothing on a table they want more then what you have and that they can live of what you provide and that doesn't mean physically, I mean its anything really. If you provide eye catching looks to someone who wants that you automatically bring it to some table.

Remember this, its huge not a lot of people realize it. The best part about the table are the artsy abstract table cloth complex in its design it draw you in but isn't exactly important other then when you bring goods to that metaphorical table, its decor, its nothing more then your current circumstances and situations so yes while you look at it, you will care however the beauty lies in knowing the big painting or mirror above that table. In its painting or reflection is nothing but a bigger picture, one unchaining and undetermined by the table. This is life around you, this represents that in the bigger picture it doesn't all matter. You live and you die.

Hey guys...I'm an autist girl that just doesn't like it when people shit talk anyone behind their backs. That, and I've protected people against bullies before so...I guess I'm an oversensitive white-knight wuss.

So, today, I sperged.

I'm in college and living in a all-female apartment. I get along with B, D, and J. M? I don't know. J due to some personal difficulties had to drop out of this quarter this week and finally M - who's only here twice a week - started bitching about J.

>M - who kept on saying that "good type of crazy" to J's face and that she loved her - said that she fuckin hated J and her "laziness" and how she wasted her parents' money, that she'd scream at J if she ever saw her again
>M parties instead of doing her homework, failed her last quarter and wastes her parents' money like J (like going to high-end stores and spending thousands of dollars) did so she's just as bad (sorry for shit-talking her here though)
>D and B also joins in the bitching circle jerk

>sat in my room trying to do my work, confused and vaguely distressed by what I was hearing
>J was diagnosed with chronic depression which is why she had trouble getting out of bed for days at a time
>J's a little sassy, a bit of a tomboy, but is always kind, honest, helpful (when you ask) and genuinely has never done anything wrong to any one of us

She wasn't perfect. But I admired her. There was a reason why she had so many friends despite having so many personal demons and health issues.

So, later, I talked to B about it.
>Me: didn't you like J too? When we had that suicide scare, we cried together about her
>Me: I mean...it's kind of two-faced that you guys did that...
>B: you think so? well, we all have our opinions
and
>B: haha I dunno what to say

Later on I apologized and B felt bad for what she did--so, yeah, we made up. I'm glad. But I just feel so stupid...
Is it wrong to be so sensitive to such things? How should you react to such a situation? Apathetically?

...Oh shit, let me clarify that we don't actually live all in the same room. I have a single.

The day before yesterday I walked all the way to the town square from my neighborhood at 3am. Naturally, the stores were all closed so I looked around to see what was there.

I saw an antique shop that seemed pretty neat, then I just walked around the world exploring for a while. Yeah it's illegal to be around public property at that time, but I was just taking a quick look . Today I went back around 11am when it was open. I bought this really cool antique that was a candle holder shaped like a deer antler. It's beautiful.

The lady there is so nice. She had a tray thing with free cupcakes on it for everyone to celebrate their third month of business. The lady there is super nice. I'm probably going back tomorrow if I have the energy.

The most interesting person I know lives so far away. Feels bad man. Maybe I'll go there one day. Hopefully soon. fuuuuck

Talking to people makes me feel better so I got no choice but to leave the house and wander around constantly. It's making me get in slightly better shape which is kinda funny.

If you're extraverted and depressed try to go outside and just follow your gut or something. Keep trying.

Do you guys know what sonder is? I experience it to the extreme every day. It doesn't make me feel insecure and insignificant, but what bothers me is that I can't get to everyone. Oh well.

I have a superpower (probably because of what I mentioned above). I do this thing that makes people feel compelled to tell me personal things. It's pretty badass. I'm so cool

I'm not the only one that can do it though. There are others, and you can have the same power. The key, though, is genuinely giving a shit. If you want it just to be unique, it won't work. You don't necessarily have to be much of a saint though. Not even close. You just need authenticity.

Now here's the important part:

I have a hard time finding authenticity. Both in people and their creations. This is why I love artists. Most artists. Even if abstract art, if you've put any emotion into your work, I will see it, and I will feel something.

Same with writing.

I have these thoughts/feelings that are hard to explain verbally, and when I try to talk about them with people, they think they get it, but are actually thinking about something different. Not in the ballpark, but I get what THEY are referring to.

My thing doesn't get understood though. Every once in a while I meet someone who has one of the same "secrets" as me. This isn't a "woe is me" post, but more of a message to anyone who MIGHT get what I mean if they stumble upon this in the future.

The only person in six years who understands my overly obscure and complicated issues is the one who lives far away. The first clue that gave it away (that we were alike) was their work. The art they made. Our souls came from the same world.

Here's a poorly thought out analogy;

Let's say there's only four places.

Colorado, Florida, New York City, and one more.

This place is hidden, hardly discovered by anyone. The only ones who know about it are the ones who came from it.

Every once in a while, one person (let's call them a yellow person) comes to the big land mass that contains NY, CO, and Florida. Red people, blue people, and green.

The reds of NY ask the yellow man what kind of place he came from.

"Well, it's warm. Not like here or Colorado."

"ohh, so you were from Florida?"

"well, no it's different."

"Florida's warm."

"Yeah but it... feels different if you k kw what I mean. It's called Hawaii. "

"Never heard of it. So is it like Colorado or here?"

"Neither. It's warm."

"but not Florida? how does it feel different? which world is it the most similar to?"

"neither"

The red man gives up. He just doesn't understand.

Yellow then goes to talk to some greens, to see if one of then understand.

cont.
>>
Sadly, the same thing happens. Even the one's who've been everywhere but Hawaii don't get what yellow is trying to describe.

Yellow adapts and acts like the reds, blues, and greens. Everyone who meets them thinks they're alike, but it's not really true. Yellow is only showing traits that compliments or reflect their own. Yellow still has yet to find someone like him. The others like him have adapted as well, and are hidden among the crowds in small numbers.

It is rare that two yellows finally find each other, due to how few there are.

Everyone is unique in their own way, but I'm a yellow. I'm a kind of unique which, although may not be "better" than other kinds of uniques, but it's an obscure enough kind to give me feelings of isolation.

Maybe there are pinks or browns in the secret places even I haven't been to. Maybe they are even more lonely and doomed than I am, in ways that I can't even wrap my head around.

I send positive vibes to whoever that may be if they exist.

if anyone actually read this, I hope I don't come off as arrogant. I know I'm flat out claiming to be a special unique snowflake here, but I don't know how else to explain my problem.

>door closed

thats actually bad, even if its hot outside, airflow is what makes you think its cool.

my honest advice is to just put one fan right in front of you, and the other right in front of a window / open door so its blowing air in, and if oyu're home all day dont be afraid to just go dunk your head in the bathtub with the water set to cold.

thats what i did last summer.

>>18400104
Oh I heard online keeping doors closed to keep it cooler was good. I guess that's wrong. Thanks for the advice anon it's gunna be a long summer
>>
>>18400203

i mean context is key but if its baking in your room thats bad. unless its already significantly cooler in your room, all keeping the door / windows closed does is block the airflow.

I'm working full time during the summer so I only have 4-11 pm or 4-9 pm to myself as free time. I also have a girlfriend so that sucks up a lot of time. The days I'm not at her house I'm just on here and I feel like I'm wasting my summer away.

I, er, don't see the problem here. Basically do whatever the fuck you like? If you enjoy your spare time wandering the chans. Is it that you want to spend more time with your girlfriend? Talk to her and see if she wants to spend more time with you.

If it's just about 4chan not filling your life void that you feel lurking over you in your free time, jeez, just find a different hobby. It's not so difficult. Have you tried candle dipping?

I literally never, ever get called back from jobs.

I've done this in between 2 summers of high school and now college. All I want is a shit job to make money. One of those Walmart or Best Buy jobs. In my life, I've probably applied to these places literally 100 different times. Not a single callback ever.

These are the places that require hour long 'assesment tests' where they ask questions like "you see a co worker stealing, on a scale of 1-5 how likely are you to intervene" or "i'm a self starter". Am I just awful at these and you need to click only 1 or 5's?

I dont have any past arrests. No failed drug tests. Not even a single parking ticket. any advice appreciated

They don't want wishy washy answers, just a strong 1 or 5. Yeah you probably failed because of that.

And you'll need to answer it from their perspective; it's not "will you intervene" its actually "will WALMART intervene".
>>
>>18399800
If you can't even think like a good employee, then....
>>
The questions aren't the problem.

I can tell you from 3 summers of trying for summer jobs, the key is to annoy the absolute fuck out of them. Call the store about 4 days after you put in the application. If you don't get an interview then, call up again 2 days later, then the next day, and the next day.

When a job gets applications, unless they absolutely need someone, your application goes to the pile, never to be touched lest need be, which may mean a few months, to never.

But if you just call a few times with your name, they'll remember it. And will be a lot more likely to pick that application up, hoping it'll stop your incessant calling.

Trust me, it may seem a little embarrassing or whatever, but this is money we're talking about here.

Desperate means that you'll do anything and change yourself for someone if it means they'll like you / fuck you. That or your standards are non existant and you'll take anyone as long as they give you attention.

(Sitting at Starbucks trying to work on company stuff. I'm distracted & unmotivated so I'll play ball)

Just gonna spit out the words I carry in my heart.

>Its okay to be sad. We All get sad & depressed. And that's okay. You might feel as if you're in the dark right now. But just remember. Every day has a time of light, & a time of dark. Eventually light comes. Like it or not, the world will continue, with or without you. So accept that you'll be in the dark for a while. Embrace the sadness & depression. Become one with it. Because eventually, the sun will rise and you'll feel warm again

-Woman who's a second mother to me. I was/am dealing with severe depression and burn out during a shift at a pizza job and needed a hug cause I was gonna break.

>I came to this country with 30 dollars. I've been poor, uneducated and defeated. But here I am. Owning my own bar. I've had to pay for my education. I know what it's like to be alone. But you. I see the fire in your eyes. The passion to be more. You can do such great things. But you have to overcome your own short bringings. You come to this event ever year (Game Developer Conference) to win and succeed. And from what I gather, this industry is stupidly hard. No one wins. But you're different. You have a heart and a soul. You're not like all these other people that come into my bar. You come here, you treat me with respect. No one does that here. Everyone just wants. Out of all the people I've served and dealt with, in my last 50 years doing this, you're the only one that offered to hear my story. So this is what you're gonna do. You're gonna beat this depression, you're gonna get over this heart break and you're gonna be a very successful man. I know you're young. You just turned 27 so I'm gonna cover your tab. But only promise me you will not give up. Become the best God damn person you can be. Don't stop sir. I expect to see you here next year. And you better be successful

I have thoughts about what I should say on a suicide note, but I don't think I'll act on those thoughts.

I need to control my aggressive impulses.
Every time I am with a huge rage
(For example: my father insulting my mother, or some prick whistling to my gf on the street)
I can't think, I turn VERY aggressive, I think in my mind of ways to hurt these people a lot and even the majority of cases, kill them. It's like a urge I have to get revenge and make them pay for all that they've done. I've never even engaged in a street fight in my life (This issue is recent, but I think these fantasies about killing the ones that hurt my loved ones will get me in a lot of trouble, one day I could become a killer.
I need someone to teach me anger management and to react well to situations, not to let myself do things impulsively.
Anyone has similar issues?
Maybe is insecurity because I feel I don't protect my loved ones enough?
Thank you

I've had similar thoughts, but not to your extent. I think it has to do with feeling powerless. Take that as you will, but meditation will help. Just 10-20 minutes a day, and your mind will level out the more you practice.
As for actually reacting to these slights, try speaking up next time. Not to fight, but develop a silver tongue and you'll be insulting these people in ways they don't even know how to take. It's not healthy to bottle these sorts of things.
>>
>>18399597
I do insult them anf engage in strong verbal fights. Never engaged in a fight because it's my grlfriend to stop me or my mother. If anyone hurts PHYSICALLY them, I wouldn't doubt to punch them a lot.
I have the urge to do that even if they haven't touched them, even if they 'just' lack of respect to my loved ones. I do feel powerlees for not having hurt them.

How do you practice meditation?
Some youtube video with relaxing sounds?
