Hello /adv/, I feel funny. I am 20 and I fear I may have schizophremia and I want to know if you guys believe I should get professional help.

A brief description of how things are going for me: I have been depressed for as long as I remember, and last November after I ceased attending classes to write a shit novel I dropped acid in which I believed I came into contact with God or a god or something which told me I had schizophrenia and that I was to become a great figure, and a lot of weird things like God controls everything about life to every last little detail and gave me very strange specific commands. For the next couple months I was in anguish questioning the reality of this and feared for the worst, that the world was ending or I had fallen into hell or even that some group brainwashed me.

Well, I got better and started going to classes after living with my parents for a couple months again but now emotions are beind drained from me more and more as I spend more and more time alone, with more and more fear others can read my mind though I can reasonably deny it and with ever-increasing strange "coincidences" happening to me.

Anyway, I think this suffices for now. Could you please let me know if you think this is serious and if you think professional help is urgent, if I don't get replies I here will perhaps try elsewhere.

You could try telling me I'll be fine and I am only blowing this out of proportion mentally, but I don't believe denial will stand as a good strategy anymore

Hey op!

I have suffered from schizophrenia and paranoid ideation before. I had a similar religious-themed experience, and feared that people could read my mind. It was a terrifying experience on the whole; extremely stressful. I am now fully recovered and studying medicine.

Your LSD trip triggered schizophrenia. You may continue to have these thoughts about mind reading, being given commands, and these coincidences that you feel must be related or caused by something other than chance for a while. When you have them, it's important to remember and to tell yourself 'hey, this is schizophrenia. you are okay, and everything is alright'. Read this site and use the information in the 'About IFS' tab as well-

https://www.selfleadership.org/outline-of-the-Internal-family-systems-model.html

I strongly suggest that you see a therapist (NOT PSYCHIATRIST), and avoid taking medication. Your case is not one where medication will be of use- it should only be used for patients who's delusions are so profound that they will probably never break out of them and back into reality. All antipsychotic medications currently on the market have severe side effects - and they don't address the root of the problem, which is internal and can be resolved with therapy, talking to yourself, and changing the way you think. Many therapists will recommend medication because this is what's taught in school. Unfortunately it doesn't really help patients, but when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I wish you the best of luck, OP. You can do this :)
>>
>>17655201
Thanks, anon, that is really helpful. I hope I can find a free or cheap university-related therapist so maybe I can leave my room or something once in a while..

The only problem is my experience during the trip I believe told me I had schizophrenia so I fear even the development of it is also a development of something sinister like an apocalyptic prophecy or an indication I'm in hell or in some transitionary state, and sometimes I believe I'm in hell for something I may have done in a past life.

No matter how much I try to convince myself these thoughts are crazy I can't seem to shake them, they are always present in my daily life.

I will follow this advice then if I can manage the courage to talk to a therapist. Maybe I can do one little thing that puts me into a position where I am obligated to see one..

I'm not sure, I just can't seem to build up the confidence to talk to girls. I'm in my head too much I guess, thinking way too much about shit. But still, I find it hard to even make eye contact sometimes. I've watched videos and read books and still, when it comes down to the situation, I can't bring myself to introduce myself. Only time I do talk to girls are either if I'm in a group of friends or something similar.

Hi /adv/,

Need an opinion on whether I'm being crazy or completely rational and sane.

Been with the gf for about 3.5 months now, known her for about 10 months all up. It's a fairly new relationship and probably her first really serious one. For reference, I'm 25 M, she's 22 F.

Now about a year and a half ago, she met this guy on exchange, they broke it off after exchange ended. He wanted to try long distance with her, but she turned him down. They stayed in touch somewhat until it became 'too hard' for him, and he went cold. We met after that, and she was still finding it hard to stop thinking about him throughout the first part of our friendship. I asked her out after that.

Yesterday I saw her on snapchat and I saw her send him one (she wasn't exactly trying to hide it). It was a story snap anyway, but she selected him from her recent snaps so I know she's been snapping him recently. I brought it up and she said it's no big deal and it's only been 3 times and assures me she loves me and that they're only friends and he's overseas anyway etc. She says she sees snapchat as a 'whatever' thing and that it doesn't mean anything to her, she doesn't consider them to be 'in contact' with each other just because they snap each other.

We haven't been having any issues or anything, but I live about 4 hours away from her so we don't see each other all that often. Also, I find the "my gf has been snapchatting with her ex" idea very fucking shady. Especially since she didn't tell me about it or anything. I asked her who initiated and she couldn't say - she said probably him but can't remember. I didn't ask her to stop, nor would she if I did. She's stubborn like that and doesn't like the restriction - which is fine. I don't want to restrict her from doing anything. I trust her to go clubbing, hang out with guy friends etc.

In the end I asked her to be more considerate and at least tell me if she was doing things that I might not be comfortable with.

Break up with her. It'll be better for both of you
>>
My question is: Am I being crazy for not wanting her to snap her ex?

It should be noted that:

At the start of our relationship, I told her I wouldn't hold her back from doing anything, as long as she told me about it first. Of course, that doesn't mean she can do anything she wants, it just means if she wants to do something completely irrational and beyond what I think is acceptable, I'd break up with her first. She has broken this rule in the past though - gone clubbing without telling me citing a lack of a form of communication and the "no big deal" argument.

Also, in the past I made a big of a deal about snapchat. Her 'best friend' on snapchat (ie. most snaps back and forth, 2 week+ streak) was some other guy friend of her's. She said it was again, no big deal because he didn't contact her any other way so it's how she talks to him. That's why they're bff's on snapchat. She also says she thinks snapchat isn't a big deal/serious. I told her to be more considerate of me in both instances.
>>
>>17655156
nah dude, I love her. This isn't something to break up over. It's just an issue we're having and needs to be resolved.

>I'm applying for a job
>I got a mail invitation for the final, in-house interviews after having passed the phone screening
>Got a question to state my expected and current salary

Thing is, I've been working 4 years for a family company and I haven't made a very decent salary if at all, only for personal expenses, and I did it both to gain experience and to help my house. The experience working for this is relevant to the job I'm applying for, however.

How should I respond to this given my current situation? Do I just reflect the question, or do I state the average salary (108k) for my position in that state?

You could make it up if you wanted. Or you could just say what it was and explain your were taking a lower salary because it is a family company.

If you have value to them, you hold the cards, so it shouldn't matter much. I mean what are they going to do, not hire the guy with the skills they've been searching for because he got low pay at his last job? It makes no sense. But if you are replaceable putting the right range in their mind would help.
>>
>>17655154
>your were taking a lower salary because it is a family company
Mind you, I make 1800 yearly. It feels like a huge leap to ask for like 8 or 9 times more than I currently do.

>what are they going to do, not hire the guy with the skills they've been searching for because he got low pay at his last job?
Or maybe believe that I do not respect my work and that I may bend to whatever shit they may pay.

I'm researching on this topic and to be honest I'm scared of responding, a step in the wrong direction and I may fuck everything up.

>>17655169
>8 or 9 times
Huh, no. More like fucking sixty times more than what I currently make.

Any of you know the viability of living using a good quality sleeping bag vs normal sheets? Here is how I see it:

Sleeping bag:
-one single thing to keep track of
-super easy bed making (no effort required)
-just one item to throw into the wash on a slow cycle
-can take it just about anywhere

Sheets:
-fairly cheep
-if something tears you can just replace the broken part
-easy to throw it in with the rest of your laundry

I ask because I am am going off the collage in a bit, and I am trying to cut down on costs and increase convenience.
And if anyone has any suggestions on what I should buy that is welcome too.

If you're actually using a sleep bag like sheets, i.e. wrapping it across the matress totally unzipped, then that's not a bad idea. extra comfy and dorm room beds are twins at most.

If you're just sleeping in a sleeping bag on your bed, that's weird.

Guys I can't stop throwing up. I don't know what to do. I see the doctor this week, should i be worried?

>>17655071
how long for? i once had a 24 hour stomach bug (didn't know this at the time) but I woke up in the middle of the night really nauseous, went to bathroom and sat next to the toilet for an hour before i started throwing up. next day whole day i was nauseous, constant vomit / dry heaving (when i ran out of stuff to vomit).

after 24 hours it was completely gone and i was 100% fine, but very hungry.

keep hydrated. drink water as much as you can, and if you can stomach it try to eat a little bit. i had like, 1 piece of toast and that's all i could handle.

staying hydrated is probably the most important thing though.
>>
A couple of weeks ago I woke up with the worst stomach pain I've ever felt in my life. It was so bad I was vomiting. It wouldn't go away and I thought I was dying.

So I go to the hospital and it turns out it's mostly from severe constipation.

All this is to say that your problem could be some big issue, and I'm sure it feels like one, but odds are it isn't. Vomiting alone can be caused by a lot of things. The best thing you can do is take care of yourself until you can get to a doctor and try not to panic, because anxiety will make everything feel much worse than it already does.

>>17655113
it's a long story, but this has been going on for 5 or 6 weeks. it's varied in intensity. i was given meds and it calmed for awhile, but now i
m vomiting more than ever. any food or drink i ingest is literally gushing out of my stomach.

So, i will ask my best friend to be my gf (yeah, cliché history, but with a twist) but i want to make the moment special and all that, but i dont really have a lot of money/time to make something for that, still doe, i want to make it original, what would you do?

I would not do that, ever. There is no way it can end well, you've been friendzoned.
>>
>>17654899

First, stop acting like her friend. She might kinda freak out at first but it'll avoid her to run once you tell her.

And you have to stop acting like this for about a week, that will give her time to realize that something is going on.

If you don't drop the 'friend' role and tell her she will freak out and never speak to you like before and she will eventually find a substitute.

I was in the same situation back in high school. Now we're getting married after college.

I wish dating friends wasnt considered so taboo. Ive never had a stronger relationsjip

Anyway, I was poor too. Here's what I recommend

>movie (animated, if you wanna keep it light-hearted)
>dinner after (no shame in going to a "cheap" place like Red Robin. Although NO FAST FOOD)
>kissy kissy
The sinplicity of it all will make it charming. She'll likely think "he made he best of what he had even though he does that have much money"

She's your friend, anon. She'll just be happy that you asked her out

This is also good advice >>17655075

Hi, I recently got my hair dyed red on top and got a lip piercing but now that I look in the mirror I am afraid that I come across very differently to most people, and it doesn't necessarily reflect on who I am as a person.
I'll keep it vague but my interests, personality, political stances, demeanor, and background aren't typical of the person who chooses this kind of look. The hair and piercing I can easily change and remove if the negatives are overwhelming.
Do I look very stereotypical? Would my relations with other hurt, in terms of them approaching me and being open to me? Are bad assumptions of me to be expected now in school, work, and casual settings? Could I keep one feature and get rid of the other? Or scrap it all together? Thanks.

Um... If I must be honest, you do look a litlle bit... Classless. I must say that the hairstyle's problem isn't that it's flashy - it's just not well done and it's something that's been fashionable around 2003. Additionally, the eye makeup isn't done very well - the lines are messy, they're not blended in. Your lipstick is very shiney and a totally different shade than your hair (your hair is kinda orange, the lipstick - raspberry) so the hair look washed out. The earrings are a very strong accent too, and I feel they're just too much. Too much of everything. Honestly when I look at you a 2003 popstar wannabe is the thing that comes to my mind. I'm not trying to be mean or rude, but really, I think the worst thing on this photo is your makeup. Watch some tutorials. You are very pretty and it seems like you're just hurting yourself with this Russia-level fashion.
>>
Is that actually you? You look like a clown
>>
Honestly it's not a good look. The lip piercing might look okay if you get rid of the red in your hair. Also loose the hoop earrings and use a brown eyeshadow as liner for the bottoms of your eyes. You're pretty and you have potential!

Hey /adv/! I know you get threads like this frequently so I'll be quick and to the point.
I'm going to kill myself asap, someone here told me to cut my jugular vein, but none of the veins in my neck are visible whatsoever. My brachial is visible, so:
>How deep is the brachial? Would I have to cut ridiculously deep to the point where I might as well find another way?
>How long till I bleed out?
>How would you recommend cutting it? I have a straight razor.
Thank you! I want to make sure this goes off flawlessly so there's no chance of someone finding me or me surviving.

I agree, the fact that you took the time to type this out on the meme board means that you're not that serious.

Not trying to push you to the edge but something or the last bit of you is trying to reach out.

I mean, it's going to be okay. I know that's a meme of itself but dude, I've wanted to kill myself for 30 years. I fucking hate life and everything with it but I keep going because I still enjoy doing stuff for me. I'm separated from friends, isolated at my parents house still, hate myself everyday but I have hobbies to keep me going. I do it for me. You'll probably never hear of me, never see my work. I don't matter as a human being, and neither do you...But within that negativeness, is a positive. The freedom you get from nothing means you can do whatever the fuck you want for yourself. And honestly, I don't believe you've done a goddamn thing with your life to justify killing yourself. I bet your some teenager or 20 year old asshole who tried, failed a few times and then gave up. You don't have any motivation to give a shit about yourself and to keep yourself happy. Fuck society, fuck the world. Live for yourself. Don't be a failure. Because even if you are, that's your second chance you asshole!!! Everyone gets chances. It can take 1000 chances and you could fuck up each one. But I'm telling you right fucking now, if you haven't learned from any of your failures....

maybe you should kill yourself. Leave room in this world for people who are struggling and still trying.

I feel you dude but come on; you took a chance to reach out one last time if that's what this is. And we all know it is because if you really wanted to die, you could with 100 other ways to do it and get it over with. Not some faggy vein shit.

Call this tough love, call me a piece of shit asshole, but you know deep down for as blunt as I am, I'm right. Not the fags who tell you to do it or encourage you to do it. I'm writing this just to let you know I care.

So, after 2 months of mourning and going into a bit of a depressive state after my girlfriend and I broke up, because she wanted to pursue another guy, I decided I was through with checking her Facebook for hints on whatever she was doing or feeling.

At first I just deleted her from my feed but today I went on her facebook page and deleted her for good, the last connection I had with her. All the photos were already gone, all the memories really, just not facebook and I was always finding myself going to her feed daily like a stalker.

Anyway, I can't help but feel like it's a bit immature that I did it as well, I understand it's for the best but now I am wondering about it... Any non-red pill and non-biased commentaries on this to make me feel better altogether?

Yeah, I guess I tried to keep her added because it felt like a last connection, something to cling on to.

Whatever I posted or whatever photos I took I always thought about her possible reaction to it, I thought how she'd see it, so I'd end up molding my 'facebook behavior' around that, which was unhealthy as fuck.

Either way, I couldn't help but wonder if being the better man here would have meant to just deal with that and move on without having to do something that can be portrayed as childish by her. I guess in a way I am still caring about what she'd think of this action.
