Schizophrenia is degenerative and if it is in fact that and not something else (some of the symptoms are shared with other things), the only thing you can do is seek psychiatric help immediately. It'll only get worse with time if left untreated, whereas medication prevents it from degenerating and helps ease or even prevent the symptoms.

Even if it's not schizophrenia, psychiatric help will help greatly for most of the other things it could be, and a doctor could look into the rest. Some medication carries series and negative side effects, so if one isn't working for you don't be afraid to talk to your doctor about it, but don't ever go off the medication on your own.

I'll give you the quick rundown
as a kid I used to sleepwalk, had a touch of OCD, and they say I had ADD but I disagree, I think I was just disinterested in school because it was school. I grew out of all of that

fast forward to now.
I don't sleep well, I have waking dreams every single night and intense visual hallucinations when I'm in bed
In general I have a sense of impending danger if I'm not at home or around other people, I get very nervous if I'm walking by myself because I can't see what's happening behind me
if I overhear people talking and I don't know what they are talking about my immediate gut reaction is they are talking about me and conspiring against me even though that's totally ridiculous because why would they be?

I have much less intense visual hallucinations during the day, like out of the corner of my eye I always think I see a dark figure peering around a corner at me or something like that, sometimes it spooks me, makes me a little jumpy.
At night this happens more frequently, I accredit that partially to shadows playing tricks on my eyes.
But in fact I don't know if there is a term for it in young people but something similar to sundowning happens to me. As night falls I get a little, silly is the best word to describe it, just sort of erratic and a little confused.

the newest thing to crop up is I just lose words now, I didn't know that was even a symptom. Like my vocabulary is diminishing, I just can't string complex sentences together verbally the way I have always been able to
some of my compulsions are coming back too. I was out for a walk the other day and I started to feel anxiety from being "unbalanced" Because I took a left turn, so for me that used to mean I need to take a right turn to even it out. Haven't had to do that in many years so I was disappointed to feel that feeling again
I can reconcile this stuff for now and get my heat on straight. I have a jerk reaction but recognize its not real stimuli. For now

Find something to work on to get you occupied. Work, read books, read books about the illness.

Ur so ugly even a prostitute refused to have sex with you.

Or you look nice enough and she realizes that you don't have to sell your virginity to some how, but rather to a good girl.

Context in what you said in Convo before hand would be nice

>Getting friendzoned by a prostitute
no but really she saved you from a potential addiction. A potential regret. Plus she probably saw you as what >>18193711 said.
> look nice enough and she realizes that you don't have to sell your virginity to some how, but rather to a good girl.

>>18193711
I talked dirty with her online and she saw my pic in a text. No problem before. Then when we meet IRL and she sounds like she's talking to a kindergartener.

"Your young years is your best time of your life"

Everytime I hear this I get really depressed..

these things are okay to have once in a while, but don't make them a 24/7 thread like the ask the opposite gender anything threads. also if you're gonna make this sort of thread, have something to say in the OP.

>how do I fix this
Impregnate her

>>18202295
Why are you dating a crazy, let alone sticking your dick in one.

>>18202295
>3 weeks into relationship she already wants a kid

Why is it always the unintelligent who breed like roaches?

>>18202529

depends on the definition of 'bad' but i dont see why it would. it'd be annoying for them for sure, but as long as they have a cell phone they can still keep in touch with everyone.

unfortunately if they have a cell phone or private computer they are going to be social mediaing without you knowing.

if i were you id allow them to use facebook, but none of the others. snapchat is just for nudes, lets be real, twitter is unnecessary, instagram is just for semi nudes.

facebook is clean enough that they wont get into too much trouble there, and you can add them and see waht they're up to with ease.

>>18202529
No

Til a certain age they shouldn't have a smart phone or social media. Guess it depends on the kid. I feel it encourages unhealthy perceptions of social value and a focus on less meaningful interactions.

>>18202267

Only you kow how much you can take. Don't force yourself into something that hurts you, don't be afraid to try. But you gotta decide.

>>18202267
Does having a crush on someone really affect people that much? I must be dead inside or something..

I guess there isn't much you can do about the situation honestly. He's seeing someone already. You'll have to come to terms with that eventually.(and hopefully realize that depression is stupid and you should probably stop doing whatever it is you do while depressed)

>>18202267
Go once and see how it goes. If you're cool with it keep going, if you're not cool then stop going

You can't. Chris Rock said it best. Married and bored, single and lonely. You'll always want what you can't - and shouldn't - have.

>>18202171
This is why being single is best, you can be as selfish as you want, do what you want and when with no one to tell you otherwise. If your alone and bored, your in bad company.

>>18202171

Find someone not shitty to be with. You probably got together out of desperation, so it wasn't a good relationship.

>>18201831
here's what you do, you respond with, "ok, let me know when you're ready to commit" and do your own thing or more onto another lady. She obviously is indecisive and is contemplating on her regrets. Don't bother with someone like that, it's a waste of your time.

>>18201859
this
Have some dignity

>slipknot
Looks like she dodged a bullet there
Good on ya champ

Get a big intimidating dog?

I would also suggest a big intimidating bf/friend but since you want to be alone

Try the gun thing, can you open carry in your country?

Which countries? In some of them you'll be perfectly fine. Even just traveling around Europe you should be plenty safe.

>>18201650
I have had this problem as well.

You don't have to even be really attractive to get attention as a woman. It is flattering at best, and scary at worst.

I have had the most luck with presenting myself as ugly when I want to be left alone. VERY baggy shirt, VERY baggy pants. I wear huge glasses that cover most of my face, my hair up, and a hat that covers my hair.

You basically want to look like you could be a boy. As long as you resemble a female at all you will get some attention.

Honestly OP a lot of the replies you are going to get will say 'just do it'. This in itself isn't wrong but you just have to realise socialising is a skill that can be improved on with practice. The only way to get better at socialising is to 'just do it', each time you do it will feel more and more natural. I think this video is great on overcoming shyness in general:

>What can i do? how do i get myself to man up?
There's no easy answer to that, no magical trick that would instantly make you less of a pussy. It comes with experience, first time is really hard, the second time can be even harder if you got a nasty rejection (which is likely that you'll get), the third time is about the same, but eventually it will get easy and pleasant, even if you get rejected.

What helps a little is telling yourself a few things: it doesn't matter how she reacts, it doesn't matter whether she likes you, you're not trying to impress, you're only trying to talk to a girl and have fun. Remove any expectation and any act. You're there to talk to her because talking to pretty girls is fun, don't try to "play" her, don't try PUA bullshit, just socialize. Don't see it as a chore and don't try to prove anything, just try to have a natural and pleasant interaction with another human. And if it doesn't work forget about it and move on.

Fear of rejection is much worse than rejection itself. The only thing that can be hurt by rejection is your ego and that only if you let it.

>Also what should i do if the first thing they tell me is "i have a boyfriend already"?
Smile, say "Ok" and move on.

Was at a club and sat on a sofa for 5 hours because I took to much mdma. I was relaxed and feeling good after 2 hours and started watching the people. Smiled at some chicks I found attractive. Some carried on, some smiled back, some sat beside me to talk a little. Never got so many chances like then. I think it was good for them because they weren't annoyed because I wasn't pushy and just sat there inviting. They could choose if they wanted to come or not. One straight up asked me to fuck but I was too damn high. Guy I know does this all the time. Genuinly smiles at a girl and gives a little nod. Then it's up to her. It just feels very relaxed and casual, not like you're pushingg yourself on people

On a practical level my beard really deoresses me to

In the morning to make it neat I have to hairspray and tie it. This take 1hr and 10 mins so i have to wake up an extra hour for work which makes me lose sleep.

When i shower my beard gets very frizzy so I have to straighten it afterward... this makes showring a much longer process. It takes 40 mins instead of 5 mins to shower, dry my beard and straighten it.

When i have my beard tied up and set i plaçe with hairspray i get paranoid about moving my face too much for fear itll mess up my set beard. So I struggle eating and moving my jaw

Tbh i dont think im looking for any advice the only answer is to shave... which i cant do. It will break my parents heart. And i admit this isnt a major issue... I have a great life but sometimes being ugly gets me down and i want to get it off my chest

>>18201470
just shave if it makes you miserable

>>18201460
Do you trust your friend to not be a rapist?

>>18201460
There will be at least an attempt, I guarantee it. Depending how close you guys are, It can be anything from playful flirting or straight rape.

>>18201460
It depends on what type of guy he is. There are dudes with whome you can sleep naked in one bed and besides their painful erection bumping to your back nothing will happen if you wont let them.

And also there are dudes who will try their best to make you drunk, manipulate you into sex via any means.

And also minority of sociopaths who will use brute force to rape you and the more you will struggle, the more horny they will get.

Question is, how much you want to try sex that dude? Maybe you even wish he will try something. Better buy condoms yourself.

>>18201366
Move on, OP. Don't do that slut any favors and don't do your fellow man harm

>>18201366
just lay it out to her black and white.
me or him if she picks the other guy than move on and find someone worth your time

>>18201434
yeah, lay the black out on her. record it too, I have a huge fetish for that

>>18201248
Do whatever you feel like man. What's the problem here?

>>18201248

You need to be 18 to post here.

You both have the same interests, go for her if you wish.
