Honestly, DXM got me through my depression. It's weird because if drugs help people's depression, it's almost always psychedelics, and it seems like a dissociative drug like DXM would just make shit worse. Started off as something I took to feel weird and cool for hours on end. Over time, that turned into using it for a good time to think about the universe and how crazy and complicated it all is. I started going outside around my college campus while on it, slowly enjoying watching the bugs and birds and stray cats more and more. It was so gradual that I couldn't tell you when I officially got over it. One day I just kind of woke up and realized how different I felt from how I used to be. I'm not encouraging trying drugs to fix your depression, cuz drugs can often just make things worse. But that's what helped me

Back while I was in high school I used to get really depressed and had thoughts of suicide pretty frequently.

One of the things I would do pretty regularly is to go for a walk around my neighborhood in the evenings when twilight had just begun or sometimes just super late around 2 AM when everything was still and quiet. The calm would help me feel better and the physical exertion of walking up and down all the big hills near my house always left me feeling pretty good.

I would recommend something like this, especially with a friend if you've got the luxury of it! An old friend of mine used to join me on walks to a gas station around 2 miles away from our houses and we would walk in silence or sometimes shoot the breeze. Every once in a while we would talk about super serious stuff too.

This is a guy who would whip his dick out in public and get thrown in detention around once every two weeks because he was a maniac, but in one on one he would calm down and be reasonable and both of us benefited greatly from it.

Hope this helps anon! Keep at it! You can overcome this!

Currently noticing Facebook china

I've met a girl on tinder and we've been talking every day. Last saturday we met IRL.
She's bisexual and is in a LDR with a girl from another country.
After we met she texted me "I don't care I'm dating this girl. She's not here. I really like you and I won't miss this chance".
Then, the next day we texted as usual and I might have come off as too needy.
I can't control myself, I get pretty needy when I get a girls attention and I'm worried I've already fucked up.
She ALWAYS starts a conversation around noon with a cute pic or something. It's 18pm and no texts from her yet :/.
Is this a test? Should I text her first? Will I come off as too needy? Pls help

I just can't. In highschool I did nothing and studied for every subject on a rush. Now that I'm in college I just can't study. I arrive to my house, I sit my ass in front of my screen and leisure ensues. How do you people do?

hello
i have been dealing with depression for a good year or 2 and i have always have had this one person who helped me with it.
she was some girl i met online but we both understood each other and we both got along
we met up and did drugs and many other things (because we were both quite depressed)
but she was always there for me
but recently she had to go to hospital because she got sepsis and after a while she had to have an operation.
i waited 3 days and nothing
then her brother told me that she had died
i have been desperate i just couldn't accept that she was dead
then a friend said i should talk to someone and specifically on 4chan because it is anonymous
i am on the edge of cutting my own throat and I don’t know what to do

>>18712801
Don't cut your throat, hang yourself or blow your brains out with a gun instead. It's painless if you do it right.
>>
Would she have wanted you to kill yourself? Use her death as a reason to live. Take the pain and use it as a strength.

This is how I would try to rationalize it if I was in your shoes.

How do I find a new boyfriend as a gay guy?

Only relationships Ive been in have been long distance people I met randomly. Even though we met up IRL im tired of the constant distance and expensive travel.

Depends on where you live. If you live in a big city it's not hard to meet other gay guys at social events or parties. If you live in a small town you're more likely to find someone through dating sites and apps.

At any rate the two things you can do are: a) we willing to meet new people, because they will introduce you to other new people (gay guys tend to hang out with other gay guys to some extent or another); and, b) don't hide your sexuality from others.

The bottom line is that you have to be social, you won't meet new people staying in your room.

I live in a semi big city.
It has one of my countries top universities so quite a good sum of young people in the ages of 19 to 25.

But just, how do I even meet gay people when I'm out?
Should I buy a semi subtle rainbow wristband like pic related?

Quick backstory on my relationship, I hope I'll put in everything that's relevant, if something is missing please ask:

I'm 25, my gf is 20, we met two years ago, starting out as a long distance relationship. 8 months forward her dad died (which was her last family member) and I offered her to move in with me (she was still at school during that time). We had a bit of a rough time, I took the summer off work but we made it work.


This spring she got dected with a disease that is treatable but not curable (MS). It was again, a really rough time, we spent most of our time in hospitals/at doctors and I had to take care of everything, since she doesn't speak the language here. Her psychological state also got much, much worse (she was already depressed before her dad died, now she's borderline suicidal.) In the last few weeks she got better, but she is still popping a few xanax or drinking on most of the days.


Anyway, despite the huge responsability that got dropped on me that I am NOT used to (I am not irresponsible, but used to just work and play video games), she was also acting pretty mean to me. I swallowed it most of the time, since she has been through a shitton, also breaking up wasn't even possible, because she doesn't have a job or money and would never be able to make it on her own. Also her constantly being depressed started getting to me, it is hard to describe, but having someone around you 24/7 that is misearble is tough, especially if you love that person and you have to see her suffer. I also had to be home pretty much 24/7, especially when the doctors changed her medication.

2/2

I gave her an ultimatum 2 weeks ago and since than she really changed. She helps me a lot around the house again and is really nice torwards me. However, I am still acting completely cold, treating her like a roommate. I have no idea why. For example, we lay on the couch, I know cuddling up to her and kissing her on the forehead would make her happy, but something inside of me doesn't want to.

Spending time with her still somewhat feels like a chore, although there is no logical reason for it. Same with sex, I am horny and so is she, but I just do really NOT want to have sex with her. What is wrong? She is really attractive and exactly my type. I do still love her and she is a wonderful person. But I am just NOT capable of showing her any real affection anymore. Does anyone have a guess what it could be? I would really appreciate any input.

>>18712718
Pretty simple bro.

You're resenting having to be her caretaker, and that's killing your libido and sense of attraction.

Solutions: Couples therapy, google some shit on the internet about living with a sick partner, pick up a book about exactly this subject (there are tons), talk to her about this shit and how it's making you feel, change up your life dynamics so that you're feeling less of a burden and can re spark some of what made you attracted to one another, blah blah blah

>>18712738
Couples therapy is really expensive, but thanks for the other tips, I will read some stuff about it.
Don't really know how to change our dynamics though desu.

Please help me. This is a sticky situation.

So my natural eye color is plain brown. I've always hated it, ever since I was a kid, I wanted to have beautiful blue or green eyes. So when I turned 16 I got blue contacts and made myself look like the woman in my thread picture
Problem is, that's when I met my current husband, and right from the get go my eyes were always one of his favorite parts about me. He'd talk about them over and over and over and I felt so good I didn't wanna tell him the truth
Problem is, we have now been married for 4 years and I still haven't told him the truth, I hide my contacts and put them on when he's not looking, always wake up before he does etc and I don't wanna live like this anymore

should I just come clean?

Everyone's eyes are actually blue underneath. There's a procrdure you can do in which they remove the top layer of your iris which essentially changes your eye color permanently to blue.

Not sure of it'll be the same shade etc, but this could be a possibility?

Do you think your partner has the responsibilities to inform you that he or she had sex with another person when you have sex without condoms in a relationship?

we were together for 2 years
had a break for one year
came back together
asked him if he had sex with another girl (one of the reasons why he broke up, i was his first girlfriend, wanted to make more experiences)
he said no
one year later he tells me that he had unprotected sex with another girl
says he swore that he wouldnt tell anyone because she was in a relationship
we have a big discussion because i would have liked to know if he had unprotected sex with another person than me
what are your thoughts?
he also says he didnt think about lying that he had sex with another random person and not the girl who was in a relationship...

I don't think he has the responsibility to inform you about that.
But you asked him directly, he lied. You should be done with him.
>>
He's kind of dim witted if the thought of saying he slept with a taken girl whose identity he would not reveal did not cross his mind. Also I do not typically think that people have the responsibility to spontaneously inform their partner, but this is different. You asked straightforwardly and he lied, plus if he did not get tested he endangered your health. Not all STDs (always) have symptoms.

There's this girl I met on Tinder. We play games together and we've met IRL. She's really cute.
Also, she's bisexual and is in a LDR with a girl from another country.
After we me IRL she sent me a text saying "I want you to understand that I don't care if I am technically dating this girl. She doesn't live here and I really like you. I won't miss this chance".
"Cool" I thought.
Now, I know I tend to get really needy when I get a girls attention and I'm thinking I've already fucked up.
She always starts conversations with me first but I haven't heard from her today.
Yesterday I asked her if she would like to meet again and she replied "Of course, duh".
Is this some kind of test? Should I message her first? I don't want to come off as too needy.

I'm a junior software engineering student with clinical depression. My GPA is just barely out of the red and I frequently miss assignments and class.
I'm currently in an assignment that is very important for my degree and career in general, and my group is falling behind and it's all my fault.
If I drop the class I'll be leaving my group to do a 4 person project with only 3 people and I'll have to take another year of school.
What do?

Hello /adv/

I went on vacation with a couple friends and I slept with one of the girls, we fooled around no sex tho, but she got me hooked on her and now I just can't get her out of my head, I do have a girlfriend, we've been together for 2 years and a half but I'm a bit sick of my relationship, nothing about my current gf gets me excited, I don't know if it's the routine but the thought of this girl and the fact that she was playing hard to get drives me nuts, what should I do /adv/?
any help would be greatly appreciated

First, you should tell your gf what happened and go from there.

Also, oftentimes when we meet someone who could be a potential partner, if our own relationship has its problems, we can easily become infatuated with this new person. We only see the good aspects of them, and the bad aspects of our partner, and we can't help but compare the two. You gotta ask yourself: Why did you cheat? In the end, you were the one who made the decision to search for a solution outside of your relationship instead of working on things with your partner, so I'm not asking you to try and justify what you did because you can't really justify or excuse it. I'm asking what were the feelings going on that led you astray
>>
>>18712024
I think it's the fact that we can't have a normal conversation without arguing, and the thought of cheating gets me going seeing as I've cheated on her like 3 times... but I was drunk and I didn't feel anything for these girls except for this last one. I feel like a total dick
>>
>>18712074
What did it feel like when you were pursuing these other girls? How did it make you feel? What did it mean to you?
