Do you talk to yourself?
Would it help me think more clearly, give me motivation, or discipline?

quickfacts

>26 yo
>own bachelor apartment
>unemployed (but interviews lined up in september)
>savings used up
>social security available


for the last month i already lived on the bare minimum - rice, water, noodles, soup and according to my calculations i should have around 110-120 bucks left to get food with for this month.
today i got the electric/gas bill and my energy provider somehow put me into a higher category so i paid 100 bucks more than before
hence: no money left now

i was in a pretty good mood for my situation as i always tried to make the best of it and i slowly gained positive momentum - but after reading this today i got dragged down the rabbit hole again and it hit me like a mortar.
i now am a little panicking and not sure what to do

my mother is greedy and doesn´t really seem to support me - hence why i try to avoid her. besides, her negativity always bring me down and instead of offering me to help she sits on her cash
i´m not sure if she would lend me some money if i ask her, i don´t really like to ask her desu


already tried getting a part time job but none of the companies around are hiring so that´s a dead end too
my interviews are in september so that´s also not really helping me now
is there any way i can somehow save myself from drowning in negativity because of the situation?
i don´t wanna say i´m shocked but i got blind-sided by this and it really hit me hard and dragged me down deep

Ever since I was a stupid little baby I've been obsessed with science, specifically zoology (and even more specifically, marine biology). I would study the habits of animals with a literally autistic fervency. Anyways, as the years have gone by, my interests have shifted a little bit, but they have always focused on one overall objective; I want to be a scientist. Early on, I was dead-set on zoology or marine biology, due to my passion for animals. In about eighth grade, I became very interested in biotechnology, and settled on that, while still remaining invested in zoology. Early on in high school, I became relatively interested in healthcare with a focus on biology, and after taking an introductory chemistry class and several health science classes, I figured that biomedical engineering would be one of the best subjects for me. In eleventh grade, I took AP Chemistry and AP Environmental Science, and I realized that chemistry is fucking boring and I am not interested in it at all. However I loved and was very passionate about the AP Environmental course. I am going off to college very soon, and I need to settle on a major. I honestly still have no idea what I want to be; I still retain my passion for marine biology and the environment, but it seems that there aren't many breakthroughs in the fields, and I want to be able to be in a field that is constantly evolving. I don't give a shit about the money or anything; I just want to be able to learn while I work, and also do something I am passionate about. What majors are out there that would allow me to do multiple jobs in the science fields? I was thinking about double majoring in Environmental Science and Biology, but I'm not really sure what to do, and I need to make a decision soon.

Is being a "professional poker player" an actual job? I'm worried that my friend is becoming addicted to gambling and poker, and is using that as an excuse. Last year, he started playing poker once a month or so, just for fun, but now he's doing it so much.

> spends 4 days a week playing poker
> sometimes he wins, sometimes he loses, it's +/- $1000 each day
> enters poker competitions, he does okay at them
> hasn't really talked to anyone since becoming a "semi-professional poker player"

What should I do as a friend? Should I discourage him from ruining his life from a gambling addiction?Or should I encourage him to follow his dreams of being a poker player?

>me and my bf are together for 6 years
>I find out he was cheating on me
>told him we are over, he was like: OK
>1 month later, I'm moving away from our flat. He says I don't wanna lose you anon...
>I already gave up my job, found a new place. I told him we will still talk.
>I was the one who initiated the conversations but I felt he was lazy responding
>ask him if he is sure he wants to get back together? Does he need time to think?
>he tells me maybe in the future... but now I should go and meet others
>WTF?
>he was my first bf ever, I thought this was special. Now we didn't talk for 3 days now.

Is this already over and I'm just acting retarded?

I know this is a relationship advice board but maybe someone can give some advice about a different topic.

Since I was a kid I've had a weird need to feel equal temperature/pain on both sides of a body part. Otherwise I feel weird, and sometimes for more extreme sensations I get very frustrated.

For example, if someone gives me a high five that stings my hand, I feel like I need to replicate that stinging on my other hand. If I experience light to moderate pain on my ring finger (for example), I try to replicate it on my other ring finger. The most sensitive spots are my wrists and back of neck between my head and back. If I pick up an ice cold or hot drink I feel a weird need to rub my wrists and the back of my neck against it. Sometimes I feel a need to put pressure on my wrists.

Always been curious if this was a common problem or not. Someone said it sounds like OCD but I don't have any other symptoms.

I've been with my girlfriend for a year and a half now, some things are beginning to concern me

>she has never been very open, with anybody, which I can kinda tolerate
>she isn't open, but she gets annoyed if I ask questions, she feels I'm implying she's unfaithful, which isn't something I do
>she never tells me about her friends, and seems to have guy friends yet when I ask about them she gets funny, as if I should just assume they're friends
>we always do the same thing together, yet if she wants to go to a concert or a club she always asks friends, never me, again I almost understand this because I might not like the music or whatever
>just recently she went to a club and basically said she would wear one thing and leave early, and then wore a dress and left at closing, I'm not bothered if she wears a dress, I'm bothered that she didn't just tell the truth
>her Instagram page is full of photos of herself, I've seen guys liking them, and just recently she followed one back

She doesn't actually understand that I may get wary, it's so fucking confusing. The way I've written it is quite one sided so please allow for the fact it might seem biased towards the idea she might be unfaithful, because there's a high chance she isn't being.

I went on a date with a girl a while ago but it kinda died off because i distanced myself and i'm also kinda self-deprecating so when she said she couldn't go out because she was working a couple times I assumed the worst and stopped asking. but we definitely had fun on the date, and when i was dropping her off she said she'd love to do this again soon (this was in feb, we stopped talking around april though)

she favorites my tweets, always views my snapchat stories, and she RTs some sad stuff that kinda relates to our situation but idk if i'm just reaching out of desperation or not.

i was in a different place then and i am feeling much better now, more social and more romantic. eating better and going to the gym, etc. But the longer i go without knowing her actual feelings still kills me.

is it possible to just jump back in? also how should i do it?

My 5 year old male cat and me are in a pretty bad situation and I really need to hear what you guys have to say about it.
So My 5 year old cat is a nice fixed grey cat who is basically my bro, well we got a kitten back in February so the cats went outside to explore one night. Well one of those night this piece of shit black neighborhood cat kicked my grey cats ass and left him with some patches of fur missing. Months pass and my cats are fine but then one day my kitten comes home pregant and since the only other fertile cat around here is the black cat that means she got fucked by the shitty black cat that kicked my other cats ass.
Basically my cat that i really love got cucked hard by the black neighborhood cat and now is going to have to live with her and his kids. I feel really bad and its been harming my sleep, I want to help my cat get revenge on this shitty black cat. I already plan on selling all the black cats so I don't have to see those fuckers. Im so fucking pissed right now guys.

>pic related, its my cat cleaning his wives kids dishes

i have a hugely embarassing question.
moved in with bf and we decided to toss my pc in favor of his, cause better hardware.

he only has a headset but i want to listen some music whilst doing moving in stuff.
i tried to install the speakers and subwoofer and can´t figure out how. i´m not completely idiotic, or so i hope.
but the pc doesn´t recognize any hardware i plug in. it can´t be that i plug it in at the wrong place,right? i mean, it´s not rocket science to find the audio output. but when i open "sounds" every port is inactive and i can only choose the headset. i also couldn´t find a way to activate those ports.
pls help me...
