When I graduated from college in 2012, I had it all. Great gf, did art for a living, had just the right amount of responsibilities...

Around 2014, I found myself getting fewer art jobs. Gf left because we grew apart. I took a shitty dishwashing job.

Fast-forward to today, and I haven't improved much career-wise. Doing anything artistic makes me sick, and I haven't made anything since February.

What I'm asking is, how do I go to sleep tonight and wake up in 2012? I feel like I've completely lost my youth in these past four years. (I'm 27.) I've definitely lost my optimism.

I know the same feel but with translation work. I just did a little bit of language learning/translation, once a week, just to get back into a non-depression mindset. Hasn't helped with the gf and stagnating career though
>>
Force yourself to do art again. Get some training in something that will get you a better job than fucking washing dishes, or at least apply to places. Get another girlfriend.

I try. It hurts.

I'm also in the middle of moving and giving up drugs, which both suck.

I just started college today and am feeling melancholy. My roommates are all gone for the night so I have no one to talk to.

Earlier I walked to the end of campus, to where the lights don't cross. It was nice, but the quiet mood hasn't lifted.

What am I supposed to do now?

Starting college is hard, I know that feeling. Find an album that speaks to you and listen to it often. Watch this video, it's amazing. It's about feeling meloncholy, might help.

so idk if i'm sick or stds or infection. It burns every now and then at the very tip of my penis when i pee (the bottom part of the hole you pee out of to be exact) i can only guess its one of three things- 1) i recently jerked off and peed after and it burned 2) i hooked up with a close friend for a few months and we had unprotected sex twice (last time being almost a month and a half ago) or 3) i've been not sleeping well and having hella black shits lately. This is driving me crazy anyone know what it could be?

Go to the doctor and get an std test
>>
>>17485182
whatever you do, don't do what I do.

Had unprotected sex with girl, thought I had STD cause 'symptoms'. Convinced myself that my symptoms were a terrible STD. Too scared to test. Started to not date girls cause I didn't want to get them infected with my STD. Thought I was going to do for like 4 years.

Got tested, Simple urine test these days..

Got diagnosed with IBS, fixed my diet, no more symptoms.

100% clean, I did every test known to man with regards to social disease.

Hello /adv/

Depends. Most places have policies restricting the ability of an individual to put out public notices without consent of owner. Vandalism and littering charges are a real concern. Additionally, your likely liberal university may construe your posting as hate speech and expulse you for a code of conduct violation.

It makes me painfully angry when i see girls that i have been crushing on going out with guys that are uglier than me.

Im not trying to sound conceited but these guys are literally uglier than me and its no question. None of them lift. They're either skinny or chubby. They have acne. They dress like trash.

I was told that i should put effort in my appearance to get results. So far it hasnt gotten me shit.

Im also a sociable person. I'm really funny, people often tell me im the funniest person they know.

Do i have a right to be angry? Or do i have an issue?

Yes, you have every right to be angry at yourself for making this thread when you already stated the issue in the post...
>>
I don't think you need to be angry. Yeah, whoever told you you needed to get fit and look good was giving you bad advice, because it seems the women you know actually don't care about that. Maybe you haven't gotten a date because of your personality or something instead.
>but funny and sociable
That doesn't necessarily mean it's nice to be around you.
>>
Confidence is sexy. You need to make your moves early on before they discover your a lurking mouth breather who has some funny jokes.

Got molested as a kid (male), this has led to a slew of insecurities, emotional imbalances, damaged mental stability, the whole 9 yards. I've been going to therapy on and off for about a year when I can afford it and I won't be able to afford meds for a while if it comes to that, I just want to know if there's any chance that I'll ever fully be in balance and in a healthy place mentally/emotionally, or is this something I have to learn to live with?

we are a culmination of everything thats happened. were never 'cured'. we simply grow and develop. you can grow positively, but what you consider to be a cure is better known as simply 'forgetting' in the most literal sense.
>>
>>17485178
So that a no?
>>
>>17485179

you can be in a healthy place. as they say 'we've all been molested'.

think of it like being gay though. do you want to be one of those faggots hwo are defined by their homosexuality, or would you rather be some layered character and this is just some small inconsequential detail to discover by those who meet you

I'm told he loves me one day then the next I'm told there's nothing good about me. I'm suicidal and depressed and recently moved into an apt with him after a family suicide of mine. Moving out isn't an option. He physically and mentally abuses me and laughs in my face when I cry. Then blames me. I just turned 21 and he's 19.
Has anyone been in a similar situation or has some sort of advice?

call 911, and tell them that you're having a panic attack

EMS will come and take you to a hospital where you'll get help

Control your breathing. Inhale for 5 slow seconds, hold for 5, then exhale for 5. keep doing this until you stop freaking out, this shit works like a charm

What do panic attacks feel like?

>Being me, living a shit world country in Latin America
>government sponsor me a scholarship to study a MSc. in CS at University of Melbourne
>the payment in my country is very shitty, there are not as many job opportunities as USA or other technological hotspot. In addition, employers at my country are asking me 5 years of experience for a 11 hours low income job.

Should I take this chance or wait one year and apply to a university at UK the next year?. Which place is a better option to position myself in the tech industry?, which degree will be more recognized all over the world?.

because you are literally looking for a reason to live by making that post. you clearly want to.

because you are well aware that you can carve out a happier life by leaving those things behind.

Long time no see, /adv/. My current situation:

>Have been a Sommelier in fine dinning for the last six years.
>the past three years I was the Wine Director for a famous Michelin Star California Bay Area restaurant. My wine list had received awards from Wine Spectator magazine and I was written about in other wine industry magazines.
>My fiance has been wanting me to transition to a job more in line with her schedule (9 to 5 M thru F) for years.
>begin a new job as National Sales Director for an up and coming winery in California, managing sales from our distributors across the united states.
>I hate my job. There is no creative outlet, I am aggressively chasing sales from accounts across the US, and leveraging longstanding relationships with friends in the industry to secure sales. This job does not fit my personality at all, and I am becoming depressed. Also my sales figures are shit right now and that makes the owner/winemaker very unhappy and things are tense.
>this is an industry where your reputation is very fragile. I can't just walk away from this job, but I also hate it and I want to be a sommelier again badly.

I don't know what advise I am even looking for. I just want to vent. I am in a shit sandwich and I don't know what to do. I hate my job, but my fiance likes me having the same work schedule as her, and I don't want to hurt my status in the industry by leaving this new job when I only just started.

Pic not related. It is my favorite wine from a winemaker that I admire.

This is the person you're planing to commit to and spend the rest of your life with.

If you can't talk to her about the exact shit you just told you, you should really reassess your relationship.

Even if it bums her out, she SHOULD understand and be willing to sympathize with you and your dreams.

Talk to your fiance, tell her how you're feeling, discuss what you should do with her.

Then try decide what you want to do, a compromise of both your wants if you can.

Finally, talk to your boss. If you're doing as badly as you say you are, it behooves them to hear you out, and if you say that the unfortunate truth is that you know that neither of you are currently satisfied with your current arrangement and your progress and that you're more than willing to brainstorm to seeif they've got any ideas for how to make things better or else are willing to stick it out if or until they want to find a replacement, no hard feelings, they'll more than likely agree and you can at least part on amicable terms.

A willingness to call yourself on your own bullshit, the ability ask for help if necessary, and the self-awareness to gracefully step aside if needed, are all traits that are VASTLY much more appreciated by business owners compared to individuals who clam up, become passive, and quietly let the ship go down with them.

'Hey'

That's some weak game bro.

Plus "She doesn't know you"....try to talk to her in person, fix that part first then hit her up with 'Hey'.

How difficult would it be to support yourself while working two minimum wage jobs and having very few life skills like cooking, driving, etc?
6 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>17485060

the number of jobs dont matter, the hours do, but you also arent giving us any indication of your expenses if oyu know them.

i pay 420 for my rent. others pay a lot more. i have no car expense, i imagine you do but is it just gas / insurance?

help us help you

>very few like skills like cooking, driving, etc.

are you saiyng you have those skills but not others or very few driving skills and very few cooking skills?
>>
>>17485069
about a 60 hour work week in total. I don't know what my expenses would be, and I was just listing examples of what I meant by life skills.

I just wanted to know if this kind of living style was possible with my wage and if I could learn how to cook, drive, etc as I go along.
>>
>>17485090

if you dont have a license, get one before you move out. you'll also need a car or some other transport if you dont have one. you can learn how to cook, its not hard, the internet is a free cookbook. but if you need to drive to get to work from where you'll be living, then yeah you need to know how to drive.

but without knowing oyur expenses, we dont know. in new york? maybe in the shittiest of areas. in the middle of america, probably get a decent apartment or shitty house with it.

it all 'depends' and until you crunch the numbers yourself you wont know
