go to a cardiologist

>>17410823
oh and those could be panic attacks and not mini heart attacks, but they could be mini heart attacks so still go to a cardiologist

the part about losing your mind is more panic-esque. a full heart attack would feel like an unbearable pain in your chest

all of this points to going to a damned doctor and not /adv/

>>17410833
I've had panic attacks. Those put me in a totally different mental state and I break out in a cold sweat. I've had two of those, but those were brought on by clear stressful life things.

These are like "Sitting doing whatever, and oh shit what's going on with my heart, feels like its going in slow stronger throbs". It's not a pain I'd say, just like a feeling higher than normal heart rate at a time when you aren't doing anything physical, and more of a throbbing rate than when I exert myself. It's like the feeling of almost choking when you swallow something, but then it swallows okay after all: except in your heart.

I'll get it looked at. Is there a way to know if these are common normal palpitations?

You contact the organisation and ask who you should address your cover letter to. It shows you're interested in the job, plus it means you don't have to address it generically or address it to the wrong person. Two birds, one stone

>>17410819
Contact the company and ask who the VP of HR is.

Or write "To Blahblah McBlahblah or other HR Representative" maybe?

Either way, you don't want to write down that person's name, and later find out that they quit the job last year and didn't update their Linkedin page.

>>17410835
Okay, this is a good idea. Thank you, I'll try it.

Has nothing to do with your memory problems and has nothing to do with your dry eyes.

Drink more water, get more sleep, spend significantly less time in front of a screen, and see a doctor if you really think this could be an early-onset Alzheimer's thing.

>>17410806
All my wat. You prob have early onset Alzheimer's and keep forgetting you already wanked.

You think your memory loss might be caused by masturbating? When is the last time you even went near a hospital?

A day has 24 hours honey

Consider this: some people's jobs involve variety and they actually like their jobs
Also consider this: getting up and doing something pays a whole lot more and is more rewarding than sitting on your ass all day and watching dickgirls

>>17410787
>Like, why the hell do so many people sucker up for this shit?
Because they have to live.

Also, a lot of people find meaning and fulfillment in their work. If you don't want to work in a cubicle for X company, there are plenty of jobs that are directly important to society.

Find a social cause that interests you, and pursue a way to contribute to it for a living.

Get smaller hands.

>>17410742
And how do i do that?

>>17410742
Or only date people with small hands. kek

What the fuck are you hoping to get out of this? Heartbreak?

>>17410646
I am not sure how serious she is with the guy she is dating. I would like to date her.
I think this might be her first time dating and I never dated before.
I would imagine if she doesnt ask why I am asking then she would be indicated that she is not interested.

>Kind of fucked up by waiting too long to ask her out.

Yes you did so learn from your mistakes and move on.

Shave your head and grow a beard

That guy looks fine. Looks aren't even that important if you're a guy, it's more about strength/strength of character and ability to acquire resources/competency.

>>17410583
Mustache and cowboy hat

You're fine. We've reached a point where both parties are so absurdly polarized that no sane or smart person can really agree with either. Neither side has any interest in the truth, neither side wants to stop at a reasonable solution to any problem. They just want to push THEIR agenda as far as they possibly can and destroy the opposition.

So, like most sane people, just swallow your pride and vote for whichever one seems slightly less awful. Beyond that, you don't really have to focus too much on politics. Just live your life

>I feel like I need one, society treats political parties like religion, you MUST fucking pick one. I feel like a bad person for not having one.

No fucking way. You have your own opinions. A lot of people are political independents, anon. You're one of millions.

> I really don't like the people on either side at all

Both Trump and Hillary are the most hated presidential candidates in history, anon. Again, you're one of millions. This election in particular, people are voting AGAINST the person they hate rather than FOR the person they like. The general idea is "Man, I don't like either of these choices, but X would be an absolute catastrophe for this country, so I'm voting for Y."

> I'm too much of a faggot for /pol plus being mixed makes me a mongrel, but I'm too "racist" and "problematic" for the liberal side.

/pol/ is bullshit. Don't go there. Especially for an (i'm assuming) somewhat gay person of mixed heritage. You're not going to get anything out of it but self-hatred and disgust. It's inhabited by white dudes who haven't accomplished anything in life, so they hold on to identity politics to make themselves feel good about who they are. It's just SJW-ism for white dudes. It's fundamentally fucking stupid, and you shouldn't feel bad for not fitting in with that. Don't internalize the "mongrel" language or feel bad about who you are. Your worth comes from your actions as an individual. Make yourself.

The same goes for the "liberal" side of the equation. You don't fit in. Fine. You don't have to. There are plenty of people who don't like the language on the far left--and that includes the center-left.

Obama as talked mad shit about trigger warnings, as have a number of liberal college professors and others.

2/2

What you have to understand is that sincere, mature political beliefs don't adhere to "sides." Individuals have their own opinions about political issues. They hear out the different cases, weigh out the potential policies, and make decisions based on their personal values.

Whether you're reading /pol/ or the media, a lot of folks make issues into a two-sided debate, when that's all complete bullshit for clicks.

Don't feel left out. A lot of people feel the same way you do.

And stay the fuck off /pol/. It's a hugbox and intellectual poison.

>since then I have
*I was skeptic
Oh crap I'm sorry. I'm a spic and sometimes I commit stupid mistakes like this when typing fast.

I've been taking adderall for close to four months now. I've used two different types. One is a longer lasting type that keeps you focused for about 6-8 hours. The other one lasts about 4-6 hours but packs a bigger punch. This one is great for when you have something you need to get done (ex: cleaning your room). Though I've experienced some anxiety on a few occasions. This one makes me a bit more intense. And noticeably blunt with people.
Adderall is an ampethamine. So it will make it hard to go to sleep for the first few hours after taking it.
The only long term side effects from Adderall are generally found in people who abuse it I'd imagine. I'm thirsty as hell when I'm on it (I usually drink about 3 or 4 bottles of water when I'm on the short term) but I normally won't be hungry for at least 6-8 hours after I take it. Occasionally I may feel hungry but I might not have a desire to eat until up to 12 hours after I've taken the medication. I'm a decently overweight so I can skip a meal. That might not be the same for you.
That anxiety I had before came from inactivity. If you're in school this may be a problem but even reading something online or talking to someone can ease that anxiety (if you were to experience it).
Keep in mind that drugs affect everyone differently. Some of the side effects may be ten times worse, some could be much less severe.
Also if you suffer from aspergers, adderall could make it worse as you might find yourself a bit more irritable and blunt with people than usual.
I personally prefer the short term but it's side effects are more severe.
Hope this helps.

Having asperger, I'm naturally anxious around people and have selective mutism when meeting new people or talking in front of crowds, would the medicine make this condition worse then? I imagine the shrink will know what to do though. if I show him the papers from my tests and diagnosis.

Sadly I don't know where to get a good doctor, in my third world shithole psychiatry is so behind specially in shit like autism and ADHD.
By the way thank you for your reply.

They probably want to have sex with your mother.

do you ever talk to people you don't know?

>>17410504
No :(

Just turn on a fan, close your eyes, focus your attention on the noise of the fan, and breath for a couple of minutes.

It helps me get to sleep easier and calm myself if I'm having a stressful day. No idea what it'll do to you.

Yes, but it's like working out: it takes not only discipline but years of diligence to be effective.

Most people's minds are untrained and noisy, it'll take time to gain control.

>>17410455
It works. There are plenty of articles published in reputable academic journals that show its effect on your gray matter.

It's important to remember that repetition is the most important thing. Get in the habit of it. Try it every day for a full month. You can start with five minutes each morning, if you have to. Increase to ten, fifteen, thirty, or whatever else you feel comfortable with after that.

I know people wig out whenever someone suggests a self-help book, but check out Dan Harris' 10 Percent Happier.

He's wary of the mystical spiritual hippy bullshit too. He's a skeptic. But daily meditation helped him get through panic attacks and a coke addiction.

>>17410445
Just fuck up an entire country, and then make excuses when a certain group of people kill a bunch of cops.

Corruption, networking and favor trading

Get really thick gloves, like so thick you cant move your fingers properly. Then try to type or answer the phone and struggle on purpose

>>17410439

Ah shit....I see where this is going....full on bubble-suit! Thats a great idea. If only they didn't cost so much.

I have no idea about any of this but I'm very sorry for the loss of your mom and dad

Best of luck bro

Try getting a consultation from a real estate agent or something. At the very least they can point you in the right direction.

>>17410391
horrible OP and so sorry. wrapping up an estate is a long process. I suggest talking to an attorney that for some guidance.

...why do you care?

>>17410399
Because you know what they say about small hands (!)

>>17410384
No, they're fine.
