I posted here earlier about a coworker who went on a political rant that basically got all of us to shut up and listen and really rocked a lot of my political beliefs. Well he basically went back to just being quiet and keeping his head down even though other workers started antagonizing him. Now that the Ryan bill passed, the manager was openly mocking the poor guy, because the guy has a medicare phone and basically medicare is keeping him alive (he has incredibly bad asthma and winds up in the hospital a lot, he also has a girlfriend who would basically die without regular medical check ups). The thing is, this guy isn't saying anything back, but is visibly getting annoyed with how hostile things have become and I don't know what to do for him. He seems ashamed for opening his mouth about the political stuff and won't go off like he did before... he now just does his work with a permanent scowl. How do I help him? Hes an incredibly intelligent guy whos talents are completely wasted on this job.

It's his fault, he brought that to himself and there is now way he could redeem his fault.
He has to find another job.

Also, you could try talking to him and see why the hell did he think it was a good idea.

Wrote up a huge post but it ended up as rambling blogposting so here goes instead. I have issues with anxiety, specifically a new girl at work who at the start of the year we stopped talking after a fucking weird night at mine, we kissed and then she said we're just friends and we should "carry on like before", though it was always something more on my end. It's worth saying at this point that when I unfreeze enough emotionally to like someone, I fall for them too fast and that was a factor. Months on, after not talking for all that time, somewhat passive-aggressive walking past each other, I'm mostly over it, no desire to go back even if that were an option, and she's seeing someone else.

However the anxiety every time I think she might be in at the same time is killing me. All of my workplace knew about it starting and ending, though I've no idea to what degree or what's been said, so I worry about her or her friends spreading things about me. I'm not very talkative and kind of weird in the first place, so it's easy to think some people would be all too eager to believe bad things about me.
The anxiety has got to a point where although I can keep a neutral/brave face, to keep myself focused I have to talk myself through doing jobs, and even then it's on autopilot. It wears me down so much by the end of a bad day that I'm exhausted and just collapse into bed on getting home. Last Saturday I got home on the verge of tears, stopped abruptly and then felt all emotion just drain away, sat in the dark and stared at the walls for an hour without moving. After that I stayed in the kitchen for another hour trying to make myself call a mental health helpline, but eventually went to bed without doing it.
Previously I've been told by a GP to go through MoodGYM (online self-help CBT) on a different anxiety occasion, but it's not helping much when it's this bad, and the waiting lists for counselling/in-person CBT is at least half a year long. The days since then have been alright, but it always comes back and I'm not sure how long I can keep up this level of stress before I explode at someone or have a breakdown. Is there anything at all that might help? Even just knowing someone else has been through this kind of thing and come out better for it would help, but all I see is people keeping it half at bay all their lives.

tl;dr terrible anxiety whenever girl at work is even in the building is wearing me down to breaking point, is there any hope?

well then let me give you my little story:
was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder
went through psychiatry (was awesome) and found an amazing psychologist. went to her for ~1 1/2 years and am WAY better now. most of my anxieties are gone and those that are not have been massively reduced.

what you have to do is expose yourself to your fears and afterwards reassess the situation that made you anxious. also find some activity that allows you to relax when you are stressed. maybe going through a woods and scream at the top of your lungs is something for you

Idk. I haven't slept in a few days, have had issues with insomnia and stimulant abuse for about half a year now.

I've been considering suicide because my head is one big gloopy mess. Feels like everything is rushing by me all the time and I can't put together the fragments of my life quick enough.

I recognise its a mental illness at this point.
I don't want to live like this. Perhaps suicide is an option.

It may be because I'm fucking delusional rn or something but the idea isn't scary to me like it usually is. I consider it nonchalantly. Its weird.

What do you niggas think?

Work out your feelings now and don't just try to distract yourself. Let the feelings flow through you as strong and as long as it has to.

Ask yourself questions and don't fear to consider even the questions and answers that feel stupid or obvious at first. Think about it in every perspective. Ask yourself for example why does this make you feel embarrassed? How long could this feelings stay in the worst case scenario? What's the worst thing these feelings could cause? How do you think your ex feels? How long do you think your ex felt or will feel these feelings? What's the worst thing this might lead into? If your ex told about this to somebody who would that be? What would that person think? What could you do to make you and/or your ex stop feeling that way? Why were you trying to get your ex's attention? Is there any other way to achieve that?

Here are my 2 cents: You can't really learn everything from books. You have to fail some things to really learn them. If you wouldn't have bombed here you had always wondered what would have happened if you had tried. Be happy that you made this mistake this early and that you made it at all. Some people never have a chance to learn.

I didn't want to contact my ex until I got my shit together, but "better minds" suggested I contact her asap instead which resulted in me making an ass of myself for a week and getting blocked. I felt guilty and immature.

The only thing that's provided temporary relief was that an attractive girl made out with me Saturday, but I may have fucked up texting her and now I'm back in the shame zone.

I think, fortunately, that "the worst thing this might lead to" is just losing someone important to me and not enduring any legal matters or being cheated on. Still, can't help but be disappointed in myself trying to win her back in such a half-assed way.

volunteer isn't going to help much. I'd say just keep looking. drive around town and be on the look out for small stores that have "Help wanted" or "hiring" signs on the window. or find a place you do want to work (say pizza hut) apply online ahead of time, wait a few days then go into the store. when they say apply online tell them you already did and check if they got it, if anything is opening up, etc. also ask them if they know if any place is hiring nearby.

The girl I'm seeing gave me thrush from unprotected sex. We have both had STD tests which have come through clean, however she has had signs of thrush and it's jumped over to me.

Two weeks ago, I ate her out. Sore throat and cold symptoms. While touching her I felt the "cottage cheese" feeling, and now my dick is sore, red and spotty. I've taken Fluconazole today.

Should I break up with her due to this, and can women tell if they have it. I do not know if she did not know, or conveniently didn't mention it. We get on great otherwise.

No reason to break up, since you both are so stupid to fuck when infected anyway. Until you BOTH heals, stick to handjobs and fingering.

I'm 27 years old.

I want to start a family by around my early 30s.

Basically, I need to cut out 4chan from my life almost entirely - regulating it to something that I might browse while eating dinner or lunch if I'm alone, from time to time.

I gotta replace the website with other sites though, bros.


Right now the addiction is fucking had - Like browsing it after I wake up kind of bad

Help bros, I'm on a journey to get iron pilled.

Wanna talk on discord? I actually have experience with stuff like this. I've been posting here since I'm 13, but its not an addiction or owt. I honestly just occasionally look at a few threads when using my phone to kill some time and I'm done with it.

Perhaps its because I've been here so long, but it quickly grows tiring.

I mean, its an interesting problem, we can talk more about it if you wanna talk over discord.

You need to start working out. Raising your testosterone levels bring your drive to achieve higher

I'm young and fancy free and want to move to a new state because Arizona for the past 23 years has sucked dong. I have the means to move and no real commitments to anywhere, and my industry (wastewater treatment) exists literally everywhere, so I'm not worrying about finding work. Mainly I just want to get out of the desert, and that's where pic related comes in. Yeah, it's from a video game, but it's a decent representation of the environment I'd like to live in. So if you guys were moving to somewhere in the US and wanted to live in pic related, where would you go?

The weather is reasonably okay and the state itself has very picturesque natural beauty. You need a car to appreciate it though, and I currently don't so I can't comment a lot.

Weather = cloudy 70% of the time, rainy 25% of the time, breezy and cool and not too harshly cold in the winter. Gets a bit humid in the summer

I miss the smell of the Arizona desert though. It smells good, and you won't realize this until you leave. Like desert sage

I'm nearly 400 pounds, I don't have much mobility issues other than I'm clumsy, I can't stay hours standing up or walk a lot during the hottest part of the year
But I want to work and I want to make my own money so I don't depend on my parents so much and I can do more stuff outside and actually go out with my friends.
I don't need an actual official job with all the perks, anything under the table would work too, I just want to be more productive and make my own money.
I feel like nobody would ever hire me tho

The only work you should be doing is work out. Getting a job will probably give you a heart attack at some point.

>>18298233
I can't really work out beyond walking and maybe using a stationary bike for a while
I know my weight should probably be a priority but I can't really control what I eat if I'm locked inside all day

>>18298189
probably, but it would be easier if before you go to get a job you dedicate yourself to loosing weight and becoming healthy.

How do I stop comparing myself to other people?

Literally all the women on television, adverts, in movies, on the street, all seem better than me in various ways. I feel consistently sub-par and unable to compete with them. It makes me angry and upset and has ruined my enjoyment of most media.

It's like no matter how attractive I try and make myself, I know my boyfriend is seeing the same people and I cannot possibly compete with them. I feel like I'm letting him down.

It makes me angry at myself for not being good enough, even though the majority of these people have make up artists, good lighting, photo shop and airbrushing. I feel disgusted with myself and even though I go to the gym five times a week and eat healthily, I feel it's ultimately pretty pointless because I'll never be a petite, slim, blond goddess with no blemishes.

How can I get more confident about myself and get over this bitter attitude towards those more perfect than me?

Beauty fades, romance becomes shame.

You sound like you have your shit together. Just continue to take care of yourself, focus on improving yourself. Find a great guy, especially when he's young and his career hasn't taken off. Be faithful to him and make him happy - that's all a man wants. It's true a lot of these girls have it easier being pretty, but it'll even out as you get older. That being said, you should still take care of your appearance, it matters a lot for initial attraction.

My current gf, who is 36 (I am 25 and have only been in one other relationship five years ago) has told me about many abusive instances she's gone through. Besides being heavily assaulted two years ago, she says most men she has been with have always wanted to hurt her. Including one when she was around five. One relationship she was in she was in it for two years, and the guy was a straight up psychopath, who would hurt her deliberately during sex, and punched her baby to death, and rape her to extreme pain when her hymen wouldn't break. There were other psychos she dated after that, including a drug dealer who was apparently a nice guy.
This is all very hard to take in, as she is a very sweet and caring girl. She is very happy with me, and I want to help her find a therapist and get her into meditation. It's all very depressing and I'm not sure if I'm strong enough to be with her, she might need someone more experienced with life. I am sheltered most my life.
What I wanted to ask was if anyone has any advice for how I can control these depressing thoughts when I'm with her, as I don't want to bring her down as she does very well for herself(besides remembering). I take it as a good opportunity to learn compassion and love, but I don't want to hurt her anymore. I don't want us to break apart because I can't grow to learn to live with her in some way. Thank you.

This shit is NOT about you, and your job is NOT to take care of her, to fix her, or to make everything right for her.

That is all shit she has to do by herself, for herself.

Don't get so ducking big headed you think you are the center of her universe. Even if that DID become the truth, it would be MASSIVELY unhealthy and probably become toxic for the both of you.

Stop feeling sorry for her, codling her, or trying to fix her.

For all intents and purposes, pretty much just forget that she has a lot of shit on her history and treat here like a normal person. Go ahead and make a few allowances and work with her when she needs it, but that is the exception, not the rule.

She needs to stand on her own, and you need to not see her as a victim and yourself as some savior.

You ain't that all omnipotent. No one is.

So my Borderline-personality disorder ex didn't like that I took out an order of protection against her (campus equivelant to a restraining order) and made claims that I had been having non-consensual sex with her throughout the relationship. There are university police reports from the times she threatened to kill herself and were hysterical. Basically is an accusation like this going to be easy to shrug off? There really isnt proof that her claims happened. Granted there isnt proof that it didnt happen but given her history of breakdowns i think it should look pretty favorable on my part that she is making this shit up.
In her own police statemnt she also said I had tried to rape her the last time she came over. The only reason she came over was to take a pregnancy test and because she refused to give me my clothing back unless I let her come over to take it. She didnt mention the pregnancy test at all in her statement.

TLDR; Ex is trying to ruin my life because I dont want to stay friends with her emotionally abusive ass. Does she really have a case?

From what I understand about the way campuses deal with alleged rape, the mere allegation means your education is fucked, regardless of the results of a police investigation.

Maybe her history of mental disorders can help, but I think you can kiss your college education goodbye. This is why you never stick your dick in crazy.
>>
>>18298216
Oh, and i doubt you're in danger of criminal conviction. Rape is extremely hard to prove, but get a good lawyer. Do NOT pinch pennies, you could very well end up on a sex offender list just bc your lawyer didn't give a shit

>>18298172
They constantly pull this shit in campuses. Make your case as best you can. If worst comes to worst make your case national and piss everyone off so this stuff isn't sweeped under the rug anymore.
