What are you supposed to say when someone asks you "what's new?" and nothing's new because you've been a stagnant piece of shit for the past several years?

In that case your problem isn't the answer to their question. How the fuck did you even manage to stagnate for couple years?
>>
>>17779065

It's a shitty question that I hate asking and being asked, but it's just kind of a sound social introduction kind of greeting. Who knows, maybe something's new? Even if something isn't new, I try to come up with something reasonably creative to get the conversation started. Talk a new game, movie, something like that.

If you avoid or do certain things because of the trauma it did leave a mark. How you handle it will determine if it's just a lesson or a serious condition.

First off sorry to disappoint but I don't need help with anything concerning dating or dealing with the opposite sex. I know that's mostly what you all care about.
Anyways I've had problems with depression(kinda) and anxiety/derealization(mostly) for the past five years on and off. It varies, the longest I've gone without experiencing anything too bad is about a year and a half in 2013-2014.
Anyways the details of everything I guess aren't that important but the past few months I hadn't been getting enough sleep because of school and work loosing about 16 hours of sleep a week. Eventually I started having problems again I assume because of sleep deprivation. This past week I've finally had a chance to sleep 8 hours a night and have been trying to do so but for the past three days I haven't been able to sleep more than 5-6 hours. I wake up feeling horribly sad and sometimes with a racing heart and feeling like I'm not on the same planet. Sometimes it'll stick with me throughout the day, otherwise it'll come and go. I'll usually make it a few hours before I start feeling exhausted again. I'm not talking tired and mentally drained, I mean exhausted like I've been up more than 24 hours. I should knock out for more than 7/8 hours normally feeling like this but I can't seem to stay asleep. It's as if this ugly feeling jolts me awake even though I know I feel asleep. Thinking of things I have to do, even stuff I enjoy that I have planned, makes me feel horrible.
I have some xanax I only use for panic attacks which I really haven't been having and I'm thinking of trying taking some before I knock out so i can stay asleep longer but I'm not sure it'll work. Sleeping pills don't work either, just make me groggier the next day.
I don't know how to approach this, anyone here have experience with long-term sleep deprivation and how to right it? I'd appreciate it.

It's only going to get worse if you keep loosing sleep. This is really bad, it's not like staying up a couple of nights and then "catching up" the following days. It's worse than starving yourself, worse than being dehydrated. Whatever you're doing with your life right now is not worth it. If you have to quit your job to get enough sleep do it. You can find something with fewer hours. Sounds like you're also developing some minor insomnia so the sooner you start sleeping properly the better. Make a sleep schedule and keep to it.

Im trying man
I cut back a lot on my hours and I finished my labs for school so now I really only have to do shit three days out of the week. It does seem like I've started a runaway snowball effect for sure I'm just trying to reverse it before I wind up in the nut house.
Been avoiding caffeine, quit drinking(which blows). I've been thinking of trying 5-htp as I've read lack of sleep causes serotonin problems which cause sleep problems. I use to use it the day after I rolled until I quit that shit and it kinda worked.

What colleges should I apply to with a degree in law enforcement? Criminology, criminal justice, police science, whatever gets me into the Police or FBI down the road.

I have a 29 ACT and 3.75gpa first 3 years of high school, hauling ass right now trying to keep it up. Lots of AP classes. Live in Wisconsin but could go anywhere that takes me.

Please guys your my only hope.

I like this female friend of mine. We've been friends for 6 years now. We are both 25.

I'm pretty sure she reciprocates. We are now closer than ever: she invites me to go out with her, we laugh a lot together, we get along great, etc.

My ONLY question is what's the best way to break the barrier. I do not want advice that's not related to this specifically.

I'm thinking of just kissing her out of the blue after a couple of beers. Is this the best approach?

Worse case scenario, an awkward moment arises, or she slaps me or something (don't think so).

Saying some corny shit sounds awful. But what do you guys think?

_______


Now, I know there are other threads talking about how guys always fall for female friends: I've have plenty of female friends being the ones on this side of the fence. So it might very well be mutual. In fact, I've dated two friends in the past.

Besides, her past bfs were pretty meh.

>inb4 you'll ruin the friendship
I have no problem maintaining the friendship if she just says "no". If she has a problem, I don't care.

Either way, we'll eventually part away because we're getting very busy with our lives. We are getting a little bit old to play highschool friends. So it's either starting a relationship or saying goodbye.

But again, my ONLY question is whats the least shitty way to make an advance.

>>17778963
For the record. With one friend I kinda "suggested" that I wanted to be with her, very awkwardly. She was disoriented at first. But then she texted me saying that she wanted too.

With the other one, I kissed her out of the blue, but it was the wrong scenario and situation (we were both sober, watching a movie at my house). It was awkward as fuck.

But both worked.

I just want to do this same thing, but less autistically. I want to know if anyone has an advice.

>>17778963
>>17778981

I think the kiss will be better if you manage to do it in an optimal situation. Most women prefer non-verbal communication in romance.
>>
>>17778992
Thanks, breh. This was the kind of reinforcement I needed.

By optimal situation I assume you mean a little bit drunk, laughing a bit, yet intimate.

I have this moments with her that I thought "now it's the time" but chickened off. Next time, I won't let it pass.

Hi guys, this my 1st time on /adv/, good evening to everyone.

I need (guess what) an advice.

You see, I plan to register for an internship in the UK for a company EDF Energy. They offer their internships in Barnwood in England (BW) and East Kilbride in Scotalnd (EK).

Now, I realize that you probably don't know exactly how expensive these towns are but can you give me some advice on which town should I focus getting into considering limited money supply xD

Take a note that salary is £16,500 pro rata per annum and I ought to be staying in the UK for 12 weeks.

I'm asking this because I read that BW has around 10000 people but it's in England relatively close to London and Brimingham which, I heard (and felt xD), are expensive cities while EK (larger town; 71000 people) is near Edinburgh which is (so I heard) less expensive then London and Brimingham.
Take notes that I go by logic 'smaller town, lower prices' but I also know that large cities influence on local towns and on their living standards.

Also, what about safety problems?
For what I have heard, there's a lot of racism in English towns, especially toward eastern europeans and since I am from Croatia, this worries me much.

Do you have any advice so you can end my suffering? :)

I can only talk about East Kilbride since am from near there, it's entirely dependent upon the area within the town whether it's a shitehole or not, and East Kilbride's shite holes are proper shiteholes, however it is not a terribly expensive place and it isn't actually that close to Edinburgh in regards to what is considered close in the UK. It is close to Glasgow though which has loads of connections to East Kilbride transport wise. You'd be able to live off £800 a month (rent, bills, food) if you plan right in both EK and surrounding areas, throw in an extra £100 if transport is needed.
In regards to the racism thing us up in Scotland don't really have the whole get every foreign person to fuck idea, even the people who are total arseholes up here won't be telling you to get to fuck cause you're foreign.

Anything in particular you want to know just ask, I'll keep watch for half an hour or so.
>>
>>17778940
East Kilbride is near Glasgow, not Edinburgh.

Also, the English dislike foreigners far more than the Scots do.

Thank you for the reply.

I want to ask one more thing. How expensive is Glasgow and East Kilbride in terms of night life?
Also, I am generally interested in smoking laws. Are there pubs where you can smoke inside? When I was in London and Oxford last year, I couldn't find any pubs where smoking was allowed, not even pubs where they have separated space for smokers.

Honestly, you started your story by comparing yourself to her ex. The first thing you need to do is establish an identity separate from him. Be the best you that you can be. If you start trying to to do what he did and try to do it better, you will either succeed or fail. When you blaze new trails, you can only succeed.

From what it sounds like if you already made out with her and you've known her for awhile it'll be really hard to fuck up.

I have a vagina. I can only get aroused with porn, not foreplay. And if I watch porn with someone there before having sex I don't get aroused because I'm used to being alone.

Hey /adv/,
my mother passed away shortly after having me. She rejected chemotherapy during the pregnancy as it would have possibly harmed me and when she did get on it post-pregnancy her body or the cancer didn't react to it properly.

I was aware of this from a very early age on and my dad did raise me very well on his own (with help from our family) and growing up I never really felt overly depressed. Yes I didn't have a mother growing up, but there was no huge pain associated with it for some reason.
My family would tell me many things about her and I wish I could have met her but still, until now I not once cried over having lost her.

Now I turned 20 this week and received a letter and videotape from my mother. The letters weren't uncommon and I did receive those at different points in my life however what got me was that video. (I did see video recordings of her before though)
It seemed very genuine so I don't think a lot of scripting or planning went into it and its twelve minutes of her just telling me that she loves me and that she is proud of me and how she wants me to find my way in this world.
She also talks about hoping that I enjoyed "my trip" - basically after graduation my dad payed for me to travel for ten months. Apparently the two of them did plan that at some point and he never felt that it was maybe necessary to tlel me that which kinda makes me angry at him now but thats beyond the point.

While watching that video I started to cry and started to sob and shake like I never did in my life and for the past two days I have been in a constant state of "depression". Just sad and total lack of direction or motivation.

I'm sorry if this seems all over the place and I don't really know what I am asking for aside just general input and maybe advice for dealing with all of this

Look, it was you or her, and she choose to sacrifice herself for you. She gave you your life, so don't fucking waste what she gave you moping. What happened happened, and you can't change it. So if you love your mother, live your life to the fullest extent. That's what she would have wanted.
>>
>>17778694

You never knew your mom so you didn't feel the need to grieve her death. The video suddenly made her "real" to you and now you're feeling the loss. Once it's there, grief can last a lifetime.

You're going to be butthurt for the next several weeks, that's all I know

So my cousin lives with us (mom, dad, little sibling and me) since three years ago if I'm not mistaken because she's going to university and she's from a rural area. This is her last semester. I now go to uni too (I'm one year and a half younger than her).

I'm really lazy and she's hard-working. I guess you can see where I'm going with this. She helps with the housework more than me, and I like videogames and procrastinate a lot, although she is not perfect and my mom knows this. She acknowledges her flaws (she's sometimes lazy too, doesn't flush the toilet, leaves her shit everywhere...) and also acknowledges when I help her.
But her attitude has been bothering me more than usual for a while now.
Last year, unfortunately, her dad passed away. It was a difficult time for all of us.

Now, recently, I think it's been a few weeks since then, I started feeling jealous of her relationship with my dad. He's a little shy and cold, he's been like that his whole life, but he smiles and is polite and kind, it's just that he doesn't express his feelings too often, unlike my mom. And I inevitably am like him, I'm even more serious and cold. In contrast, my cousin is loud, cheerful, smiles a lot and likes to joke around. I've been very distant with her even though she sleeps in the same bedroom as me. On most weekends, she goes to visit her mother and siblings and comes back on Sundays.

But honestly, ever since she moved in with us, I felt that my privacy was taken away from me. Even more so when she doesn't go see her family and I can't do my stuff alone and peacefully in my room that weekend. Despite all that, I've always tried not to hate her and to be polite and smile at her, no matter how awkward it is.

Whatever, what's important here is that in the last few weeks something detonated my hate for her, and I think it's the way she treats my father. When she comes home, and my father near, she greets him by giving him a kiss on the cheek. She greets everyone like that...

...but it bothers me when she greets my father.
And when they talk to each other. Or when she asks him for help with the computer or something.
The final straw was when, last Sunday, he made breakfast for himself, my little sibling and my cousin. Spaghetti from the previous day (my birthday) and eggs. I got up a little earlier than usual and I thought that one of those plates was mine. Nope, turns out it was for them. Why didn't he make breakfast for me too? Because he never knows when I'm going to get up in the morning. Bullshit, when I come home late from school, even if at night, my mom keeps done food for me from lunch. And the same thing happened again today.

Today I have finally admitted that I hate my cousin.

After some alone time crying in my parents' room, I thought that maybe I hate all this because I hate myself. I feel useless and inferior when she helps with the housework. And when she does the dishes without anyone telling her to do it, it makes my blood boil, and it's even worse when I AM supposed to do it but she does it before I even realize it.
When this happens, I feel even worse about myself and feel like procrastinating even more. I think "well, idiot, if you want to be a fucking slave it's not my fault. Go and do it if you want, I'll be here not doing anything. Aren't you supposed to have lots of homework? Then stop doing that and let me do it, you fucking bitch!" or shit like that. She's like she's always trying to help in everything and it just annoys the fuck out of me. Even when I have to cook and she's doing her very important homework, she offers to the half of the work. And it makes me feel bad.

Well be ready to get bored to death, my man

Anyways, right now my problem is that I'm jealous of her relationship with my father.

We don't talk much to each other anymore, because recently for some reason it's been more difficult for me to talk to him, more than ever, even if I just want to tell him about mundane shit like the news or random trivia. Yesterday I fucking cried after quietly telling him "thanks" for giving me a ride to school (when I was supposed to take a bus) and I don't know if he even heard me. I sent him a message saying "I said thanks for giving me a ride, and sorry for making you bring me to school once again" (this happened three times this week because I overslept). I think this fear I have of taking to him is precisely because I realized that I'm jealous of my cousin.

Now, I don't know what the fuck are "daddy issues", but I'm pretty sure that I don't have the Elektra complex because I love both my parents equally, I don't feel threatened by my mother, when they argue I take my mom's side, my dad's side or I take no sides, and I have a boyfriend who I love and is younger than me.

I don't know. I just feel like my cousin is trying to take my father away from me, like she's trying to steal him or something. I feel I'm a terrible daughter too, not only for my father, but especially for him because he's always been so passive that even to this day I'm used to yell or raise my voice at him over the slightest annoyance, which is something I'm changing now.

I feel like such an idiot. I feel so shitty right now. What the fuck do I do? I think every time I go cry and reflect on all this I'm a step closer to the solution.
