how do you know when you're depressed? what does it feel like?

i feel isolated from everyone. i feel directionless. lost at sea for lack of a better term. lately ive been thinking a lot about suicide. everyone that comes into my life i end up driving away. i don't have ambitions anymore. every day is the same thing. i feel like i'm living my life in a haze or a cloud or a fog. it's hard to describe. tears have been welling in my eyes periodically lately. the nights are worse than the days. i obviously feel lonely. i feel like i will never be in a loving relationship because i'm too neurotic and it's too off putting. every thing negative that happens impacts me mentally much worse than it used to.

i'm sorry for the word salad but i'm trying to describe it the best i can. am i depressed? what do i do?

If you're having suicidal thoughts, see a therapist ASAP. You might want to look up Dysthymia in the mean time, you fit several of the symptoms.
>>
>>17974302
I was seeing one but it never really helped much.

I'm laid off right now with no health insurance so I can't afford to go back.

I'm reading up on Dysthymia right now, thanks

When I felt my absolute most depressed I felt like my body had died and my brain just hadn't realized it. Like if the power steering goes out on your car. You can still turn the wheel, but it's a billion times harder. I felt like I was piloting around this big lump of dead flesh and having to pretend I was okay.

Everything you said sounds like straight up depression plus a little anxiety. I went to a therapist for about six months, shopped around with meds with my doctor, and can happily say I'm a functioning human being bout 95% of the time. You should definitely see somebody

I had sex with a girl who had herpes. She wasn't symptomatic at the time and I used a condom, but I'm still worried I might have herpes. There was some rubbing of genitals on skin in a shower beforehand.

Anyways it's been maybe a couple months since I I was in contact with it and I haven't had any symptoms as far as I know. Does that mean I'm heroes free? Or at least asymtomatic (which is pretty much just as good)?

Did she have sores? If she did have sores then she had an active infecetion and her rate of transmission is incredibly high. If she didn't have any, then its incredibly low. Just get a fucking test if youre worried. I'd say if its been this long, youre probably good.
>>
>>17974288
She didn't have any sores. I'm planning on getting a test soon. The only reason I haven't already is because I heard that for the tests to be conclusive it's best to wait for over 4 weeks (which it's been much longer than)

>>17974284
When I got herpes, small symptoms showed up pretty much immediately, and was full blown signs herpes a week later. Fuck you Ron.

Anyway, my new boyfriend is clean. We have sex everytime without a condom and he's still herpes-free (4 years now). We just avoid sexual activity whenever I'm itchy down there or when I feel like its acting up.

Yes, do wait a while before taking the herpes test so the results can be conclusive.

I also heard its easier for girls to get herpes from guys than vice versa. Something about getting cuts in the vaginal area during sex that allows easier transmission.

A girl ghosted me after we spent a lot of time talking together in person and exchanged contact info but during this I realized I was more attracted to the idea of having a girlfriend than her or her personality.

It seems we both stopped liking each other after finding out more about the other and I got to thinking. We're extremely similar personality wise, if we swapped bodies our relatives wouldn't notice much of a change. Maybe this is why w're not together.

Could similar personalities cause people to lose attraction to each other?

Move on? but I was already half-way done with my shrine of her.

Seriously though, I'm more or less over it, I just thought this was a thing but I guess not. There's a girl I like a lot more who's almost the polar opposite of me personality wise and I thought there was correlation with all of this.

How do I ask someone to leave? I have a friend that just never knows when to go home. He comes over at lunch (a time I set) and then he just doesn't leave. I end up subtly making him to go by saying I'm going to be when it reaches 11pm but some nights he still stays till after midnight.

>Dating girl
>Sort of into her, but not too much
>Personality wise, 10/10
>Looks wise, 5/10

She isn't horrible looking, but I'm just not into her physically at all.

What do I do in this situation? We've been dating for a bit more than a month, and I'm supposed to pick her up tomorrow to hang out, and I just really don't feel like it. I should also add, its been a long month. She is super insecure, and needs to have contact with me all day.

Do I hope that I become more attracted to her because her personality is so great, do I cut ties, what? I really don't want to hurt her, but fuck I don't know what to do.

Are you okay with her being insecure and clingy? Cause if you're just tolerating it now, you'll become smothered/annoyed by it later. If so, I'd cut your losses

I used to be very upset towards animal abusers, but now when I hear about dogs getting their ears lobbed off by crazies I'm disappointed, but not angry like other people online who want to kill and torture them.
Is something wrong with me? How do I fix it? Why do I feel bothered by how angered they are?

Probably due to seeing it so much you're becoming more desensitized to it. It's not that you don't think it's fucked up, just that you've seen it before. It's not as gut-churning or anger inducing as it was before because it's not as much of a shock to you that it happens. It's the same as not laughing as much at a joke even if it's still funny, or not crying at funerals even if they are sad. It's not a big deal. A lot of people display this and it's not really a problem.

Is it weird for a 22 year old guy like me to date a 27 year old woman?
Personally I don't really care but there's still a little voice in my head saying "that's weird".
Especially since she is the same age as my sister.

Do women around 27 even go for guys in their early 20's?

It's not weird. It is a little odd if you marry, but when it comes to romance age differences aren't weird.

+5 on you isn't that much but likely she is way more mature than you are & wrapping you around her little finger

this is fine for now but in a few years you too will mature & realize either shes been playing you for a fool or she really is a nice girl
>>
>>17974122
idk I don't want to sound like a walking meme but I've been told I genuinely look and act like I'm around 24-25. And when I met this girl I thought she was ~22 because she didn't act like a 26 year old. So I figure it averages out and is perfect.

She's far too innocent to be manipulating anyone, especially me.

>just turned 18

im asking you losers now

What do I do?
I have no job and my parents have been telling me to get one since I was 16. I do have my drivers license but that's about it.

I don't have many problems, but at the same time I do. I'll just make a list for the sake of simplicity.

>Be born
>go to grumpy old music teacher
>he hates parents who bring their babies in with a passion, gets a lot of them apparently
>he says whatever, bring him in
>be hour later
>old man super excited
>wants me back in, says I have "The four walls of music", whatever that means
Except the problem is
>911 happens
>my parents business heavily relied on tourists
>tourist levels cut drastically, reduce in $$$
>transit strike happens, business is clinging onto survival
>dad gets into tragic car crash
>survives, but with chronic back pain
>loses court case, gets no money
>be canadian, so free healthcare, but shit healthcare
>placed metal rings (or something like that) into his neck, 3 were successful, 1 failed, can't fix without high risk of death
>dad becomes asshole since I was 4, brother was born when I was 2
>mom is doing everything to keep us alive, and give me and bro a good childhood
She should've just done the first one.
They spoiled me.
I got almost everything I wanted. Granted, I didn't want much, but she did all she could do. I went to live shows for my favorite tv shows, got to meet Robert Munsch, etc.
Then, semi-good news
>Since our predicament was so bad we basically instantly got into what's basically a welfare home
>The house is super nice, has two floors, rather spacey, good kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms; super nice.
>we get to relax a bit, parents take us to community center, we get to swim and do sports and stuff
>get put into martial arts
Now we descend into madness
>be 2010
>family friend we had since 2004 comes into picture
>my fatass dad was heavily flirting with their wife, and vice versa

She was really pushing this. We would've been much better disciplined. It's the only thing I'd agree with my dad on.

>I'd ask for help, he'd literally just chuckle and move along, never answering a single question I asked
>Of course, through these years of struggle I barely ever got to focus on my musical talents
>My singing got cut out thanks to the braces and expanders I got in 2015, couldn't practice much
>My piano skills were at a flatline thanks to inability to afford classes
>My little bit of artistic still also got cut out because couldn't afford classes
And I was left talentless.
I can still sing, but I only really do it in the shower. It sounds good, everyone I know says it's good too, but I don't think it'll get me there.
I'm barely motivated enough to actually get a job either. I don't have many friends, and I live in what is possibly the shittiest place to actually make decent caring friends.

I have only one other talent; Writing. Every poetry unit I have done ended with me getting 100% A's on my assignments. I'm a really good writer. Should I into writing? Or suck it up, get a shit job, and live a shit life?

>>17974040

Okay, everything that happened in your past doesn't. fucking. matter. Time is linear, you only move in one direction, forward.

Second, ask yourself what you want out of life. Really ask yourself. Then come up with a plan to get there.

And you keep talking about "talents." Talent doesn't exist. Hard work exists. If your "talent" was cut short by not being able to get lessons, how can you say you're more talented than some schmuck who did get lessons? You can't. It comes down to skill and hard work.
>>
>>17974040

And, let me give you a REAL big piece of advice, referring to someone that you're trying to get something from as a "loser" isn't going to get yourself very far in life.

Which, it apparently looks like despite your privileges you haven't gotten very far. So there is that also.

/adv/bros, translate this for me?:

"I want to hang out with you, be with you, and see you exclusively, but want to maintain my independence."

Someone mentioned and called me out on my name few days ago perfectly fine on a different board than /adv/. Naturally in my native language. Mind you, I never posted personal information at all and was just debating. My name is not regular thus I don't consider 'luck' or 'guessing' in this case.

What in the world happened and how?

Just imagine yourself posting and debating on a different board, suddenly someone calls you out with your name in your native language. You never posted anything personal at all.

I was scared shitless.
So, how was this possible?

would it be in my best interest to an hero? when i was younger (below 10 age range) i was raped a couple times by an older sibling. it really fucked up my life to the point where i've been unable to form any sort of close-knit relationship and i'm barely able to function. every second of every day i'm constantly afflicted by ptsd-related symptoms like insomnia, dissociative freeze response, extreme muscle tension, major depression, emotional hysteria, mental blankness, chronic aches, etc afaik cptsd is something you can't fully recover from, only manage, but for me the severity of it hasn't improved despite a decade of seeing a multitude of different therapists and psychiatrists. i honestly feel like i died 15 years ago. is abuse in childhood basically a life sentence? i've never been this close to dying but its reached the point where the pain is unbearable and i have no supportive person in my life that could prevent my decision

Perhaps find a partner that will show you some loving intimacy instead of what you were forced to experience at a young age
Regardless of traumatic experiences such as this, if you can connect with someone in this sense and have a truly romantic and pleasurable experience, you will start to remove these chains and feel like a romantic bliss/euphoria
That's what I think anyways, love conquers all!
>>
I had attempts of rape as a kid. Ruined my life. Around that same age too. Eventually I told my mom, I wrote her a letter about what happened and handed it to her. She was still dating the guy who did it too, and continued dating him after I told her, which only made my life even more shit. Life went on, eventually it got to the point where either he had to go, or i did. And my mom broke up with him.

Life goes on, and on.
>>
>would it be in my best interest to an hero?
yeah, probably. unless you're lying about the symptoms and that you've been seeing professionals for years you should just give up and die

So I'm a 20 y/o girl. I've spent 100% of my romantic life on older men during high school and it just wasn't exactly the normal life. I've recently met a guy a year younger than me and we've got amazing chemistry, and he's interested in me too. How can I adapt to dating someone a year younger after having unstable relationships with older men at a young age?

It's only one year of difference...Why would it even affect anything?
>>
Why would you do that during high school, to begin with?

Also, do you really need an answer? How thick-skinned are you?

I'm 20 this year, no form of ID apart from a Birth Certificate, no Licence and have not worked for 3 years.
My mother has started smoking meth again and is bringing people I'm not fond of into the house around my siblings. (drug dealers, wanted criminals, ect ect)
They're too young to understand what is happening, but this is not an environment I want to be around, drugs destroyed my family when I was younger and I'm really not impressed she's gone back into the scene. She is out just about all night nearly daily now and comes home around the early hours of the morning. Some cunt was smoking from a crack pipe last time I was in the car with her in the front seat so I know exactly what she's doing. How do I go about getting my own place at an affordable rate and getting away from this? I'm receiving around $400 (Aus) a fortnight and have no connections to relocate to.

Hi /adv/ I've been working for 4 days, is my first job ever, I'm feeling bad, I feel like I'm stupid and useless, the worst, is I don't want to feel better,I don't see the point of working, and ironically, this job is very good economically speaking I'm 22, and I don't see were I'm going.

I'm quitting my job, I'm constantly stressed because of it.
I don't have enough time for myself, I work all fucking day.
Work, sleep, repeat.
I'm tired, I can't concentrate, or even hold information at this point.

The pay was excellent, I can't deny that, I bought all the stuff I needed.
But I just can't keep doing this.
There's a little part of me that is scared/ sad because I don't know what to do after I quit, if I'll ever find another job.
But I just want to Leave that place, take a deep breath and just relax, do the stuff I enjoy.

Hopefully die soon...

I've had this type of weed that leaves no paranoia.

What kind of type can this be? Sativa?

>>17973515

Both strains could give you paranoia. Sativa is has a greater liklihood to do so.
>>
it's pretty hit and miss from person to person as far as I know. Leafly's a pretty good resource re: weed effects tho. And the above poster is right; indicas (in my experience) are far less likely to cause paranoia/anxiety.
>>
If you get a weed with high cbd you're less likely to be paranoid.

Also just take it really easy, don't smoke much and slowly build your tolerance.
