I can feel myself spiraling again and I dont know how to stop it.

I go through periods of depression. I hesitate to call it bipolar, because I never reach a manic state, but I dont know what to call going through periods of intense depression and then rebounding with not necessarily happiness, but optimism, to the point that I feel I can really almost do anything. I'm exiting one of those optimistic periods now and entering another depressive one. I can feel it, and I dont think I can hold it off now.

I'm a virgin, no job, with a useless degree. I live at home, thank god I at least have friends, but they dont do much for me, theyre kind of just there to fill the void. I've lost my appetite for gaming. I just built a new comp and have barely used it to game. I feel the emptiness creeping in. I mention these things because I feel they are the source of my depression.

Why do I not even try to apply for a job? Why do people like to be around me, find me funny, charming, intelligent, yet at the same time I can never find someone to hold, cuddle up with and watch a movie, or listen to music with? Why do I feel like a clown, only trotted out to bring everyone elses mood up while I slowly die inside? Every new connection just a new person I have to keep my guard up with. Yeah they think I show my vulnerable side, whenever I ask a naive question, whenever I mention some thing Im scared of doing, when I "open up" about an insecurity. Dont they see Im doing it for them? That its just a show? So they never know what really bothers me? So theyre never in a position to exploit it? Its manufactured, none of it is real. Why can't I say any of this to any of my friends, even though I know they love and care about me? Why do I feel so alone in a room full of these people?

I was doing so well. These past two years I've lost a lot of weight, and still have a lot to lose. its the only thing driving me forward, its really the only thing keeping me alive. If I was still 400 pounds and living the same life I am now I would have killed myself summer 2016. It was the deepest pit I ever fell into. I slowly climbed out of it. I started running, I went extra strict on my diet, I started lifting weights. I gained more and more confidence in social interactions, I was no longer faking it till I made it, I had just made it. The puzzle pieces were coming together and then...it all just fell apart. The girl Ive been talking to rejected me and I broke my leg playing soccer. Now I cant run off the pain of being rejected for the millionth time in my life. Games dont sustain my attention so I sit motionless on my laptop reading garbage nonsense that means nothing all day as my leg heals, unsure of what long term damage it will have on future mobility. I cant leave the house and go to the beach, or take my dog out for long walks in the freezing cold. I cherished the feeling of the cold making my body numb, if only to match how my mind felt, finally in unison.

I intended this to be cathartic, as I always do when I enter one of these episodes and breakdown about it to randoms on the internet. It never works. It's never a release, seeing my thoughts and feelings typed out on my monitor do nothing but compound how real they are. I'll pull out of it...eventually. How many months of wasted self loathing will I have to endure? I dread the day when the numbers on that scale stop ticking down, I'll have nothing left to live for, nothing left to care about, nothing left to mark progress in an otherwise stagnant life. I never get what I want out of these posts. Sometimes I get people who remind me that it isnt so bad, that life is a series of ups and downs, that no two life experiences are ever the same. I also get the people who berate you, take the tough love angle, just slam you until you feel so shitty about yourself youre compelled to improve your life. Then theres the people who shitpost, taking glee that no matter how bad their life is, at least its not as bad as "that guy" and have no problem letting you know about it. I appreciate all of these people. They remind me that people are different and unique, that some can relate, that others have no clue. That there is somebody out there that I will one day being able to say this to. Someone real, with a name and face to go with it, and it wont matter if they care or not, I just want to say it.

Have you tried talking with a counsellor anon? I feel you. I've got depression and I worked on it alone for years and it didn't work. I almost killed myself. I needed help and I'm glad I got it.

so this just happened

>gf of 1 year
>do love each other
>have had a rough month or so
>constant fighting about petty shit
>she brings up the idea of a break up
>i suggest a break where we dont sleep with other people and so we can work on ourselves with the hope of possibly improving the relationship
>she says she is scared that she might sleep with someone because she uses sex as a 'coping mechanism'

wtf? took me by surprise really. i feel pretty disrespected as im trying to make shit work out and she says something like that.

Why would you feel disrespected if she's being honest with you? She's trying to make shit work out too the best she knows how it sounds like and you're getting pissed because you don't like her honesty. Sounds like she cares deeply for you and trusts you enough to be so nakedly honest.

I'm a male, my friend is female. I'd say we're pretty close. We enjoy physical contact a bunch so there's a lot of cuddling, hugging, sometimes even hand holding, etc.

I thought we were all in agreement of this being platonic. But I've learned she's begun to develop a huge crush on me. Like aparently she's started to really fall for me (according to another friend of hers).

I'm not that attracted to her physically, but I still want to be very close friends. How do I go about this situation, /adv/?

Stop that shit and actually act like friends.
>>
You can't have your cake and eat it too. If she's developed feelings for you, the best thing to do is to stop sending her signals you're into her. Stop cuddling and stop being so touchy feely grabby with each other. Set some boundaries. Yeah sure things started out platonic but sometimes boundaries are blurred and lines crossed unintentionally.
>>
>>17999140
This. It sounds like you're inadvertently leading her on, possibly without knowing it, and you need to cut that shit out.

How noticeable is my jaw misalignment?

It may not be the most clear in this picture, so I'll post a side by side comparison later.

Should I care about it so much? My biggest problem is that it majorly affects my confidence. I often hate taking pictures with others too just because I have to see this flaw of mine

It's not very hard to see but you shouldn't worry about it. Plenty of average-looking people are insecure about their faces when they shouldn't be.

Lol this reminds me of all the times I've shitposted while at a bar/club. What you shouldnt do is say "Hey have you ever heard of 4chan"

A random girl at a club that you have never met is a qt to you?

Why? Personally, I would only look at them as cum dumpsters until further notice.

It'd help if you started with your current state and where you want to go. And maybe why.

If you wanna leave California to go to Nevada, you could probably pick up and leave within a week. If you wanna go from Oklahoma to New York, that's a different story.

don't come to New York

Am I supposed to get a girl's number before I ask her out?
I don't see how walking up to a girl I know and saying "hey can I have your number" out of the blue is really going to work. How do I get it into the conversation.
6 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
I'm still trying out new ways to do this but my trend I've got so far is to usually ask for her number after most of the casual conversation. Two girls I've done this with told me that they thought it was surprising and very bold to do, which they thought was attractive.
>>
have a nice conversation , suggest doing something later, then get the number as its a logical extension of doing something later.

a vague request for a number is a pussy "I don't want to expose myself to rejection" move, and that turns women off
>>
>>18000209
Don't get me wrong I have no problem asking for her number directly, I just don't want to be weird about it and just blurt it out of the blue or in an unrelated conversation.
I don't want to be talking about almonds and then suddenly go "hey what's your number btw we can activate our almonds together" or something you know what I mean?

How do I learn to not use sex for escaping bad memories and pain?

Hey anon. What's going on? You want to talk about anything or share what's making you cry for hours everyday?

I can say from previous experience that having been sexually and emotionally abused in the past and then having an amazing lover a few years later, the difference between destructive sex and healthy sex is that you don't feel numb and you don't empty or ashamed while doing it and afterwards.

do not apologize. we all have been in dark places.

Same op.
I'm so lonely it hurts. But I'm so riddled with social anxiety it's near impossible to make friends. I take every downfall so personally and so hard it's impossible to build up my self worth. I don't know how to stop taking everything so hard.
>>
>>17998935
Any sort of sex that makes you feel guilty afterwards isn't healthy sex.

Sex that matters is the sex that makes you feel fulfilled and happy. Content is a good descriptor.

I might not be a normal people, per se, but I see sex as an ultimate manifestation of love. A physical expression of it, but that's just my romanticized view.

>gf and I hangout pretty much every day
>I'm going through a lot of shit, a lot of terrible shit
>She said she's willing to help support me in the best way that she can, and I gave her my word too
>She also had a fucked up childhood, so she can see where I'm coming from
>Sometimes she acts like she doesn't care how I feel, other times she makes big gestures to try and make it up to me
>This time, she tells me she won't be able to hangout tonight because she's studying
>I ask what time she's getting out of work tomorrow, she says a time and I say "Aww, guess you wont wanna hangout after? :/"
>Her: "Correct"
>I was kind of expecting a response along the lines of "Yeah, it sucks. :/ But at least we can hangout the day afterwards," or something
>Ask if she is happy about not seeing me
>She said that she didn't say that
>I told her that it felt that way
>She said "Whatever, don't text me if you're tripping" or whatever
>I ask if this is how our relationship will be like: her telling me my feelings don't matter and for me not to text her
>She says I'm not the center of the universe
>I say that she's the center of mine and that I thought she felt the same
>She says she doesn't and that she has her own problems to worry about and that I should do the same
>This is all after she said she loved me, wants to move in with me and will help to support me emotionally

What do I do? I'm so fucking tired of being told my feelings don't matter.

stop being so attention seeking.

If you hang out with someone every day it becomes exhausting.

please become more mature before you engage in a relationship

So, do guys actually dig the Stacy look, blonde hair, fake nails, perfectly straight hair and heavy ish make up? Or is it more the fact that it shows a girl is devoted to her looks, almost how most people won't go for fat people because not only lack of physical attraction but also because it shows a person is lazy?

Idk I've realized i can't like blonde girls. I've lived long enough in Florida and see that as they age they end up looking like leathery crack whores . I'm into that Persian , Indian , Latina girls. Or those sickly looking pale girls. Also they need to have a six pack.

Does anyone have advice on ingesting marijuana while working in a line of work where it is tested for pre-employment/randomly/routinely? i know, i know the best way to not get caught is to not smoke but life is hella fucking boring when you're sober on your day off or at the end of a long shift.
