I sleep all day and I'm awake all night. I have tried to turn this around for the last 10 years (I'm 25), but to no avail.
If I manage, I still am tired and groggy all day until I turn the cycle again.
I fall asleep around 7-8 in the morning and wake up around 4 or 5 in the day.
I have tried everything and the longest I could last with a normal circadian rhythm is two months before having one day where I go to bed a little later than 1am and the whole thing fucks up back to how it used to be.
I cannot function in this world. This sleeping pattern fucks up everything, and I mean EVERYTHING! From eating disorders (skeleton) to relationships to general feeling of doom.
You probably will ask if I'm depressed and I am but it has come to the point that it's a passive feeling that I have learned to live with.
You are my last hope, /adv/. What do?
Getting a job or leave your house
Get a routine back into your life. You are in a bad way but its up to you to make that change.
Go into education, sign up to a course, engage with your family. Also get off the computer. Its a vicious circle, as you feel depressed the more you will want to escape and the worse routine.
Also work on eating more. That helps a lot with your mental well being. Finally if you do, stop masturbating and looking at porn. Its not good for you energy wise.

>getting a job
No one wants to hire me, and no one (not even close friends) dare tell me the reason. I feel I look presentable when searching for a job.
I go to college, but I usually stay up all night - go to class and then go to bed.
>leave your house
No job so I'm broke.
What life advice has helped you out in troubling times?
>>17372185
Don't trust anyone, keep your mouth shut. Always have a back up plan if things go to shit.
The reason you want to be better is the reason why you aren't

My english is pretty good when I write it or type it, but when I talk it gets weird and I have weird accent. That's because I'm never in situation when I have to talk english. How can I improve my english pronunciation on internet or something?
>>17372169
watching english tv shows helps, auditory learning helps with that.
I watch movies and tv shows without subtitles all the time. It's not the problem. Problem is my accent because I never really talk, I just listen.
>>17372169
Listen to talking book or some other speaking tape. At same time, speak along with it into a separate recorder. Playback and compare the two.
I'm drunk at work and I'm having the greatest time in my life.
How do I
A) not get caught
B) stop fucking doing this?
>>17372053
Once you pop the fun don't stop.
Hopefully, they're cool with it as long as you're doing your job well.
>>17372053
>A) not get caught
impossible, i know your type. every time you dont get caught you test your boundaries harder until you are finally caught.
>B) stop fucking doing this?
why contain it?
>>17372053
stop being depressed as shit and drinking
alcohol only makes things worse
Male/48/USA
married 24+ years, 5 kids
Started my own business 5 times, 2 of which did great, 2 of which failed.
Succeeded, failed, and more enough to at least know what not to do.
Training session at work cancelled so I have the day at my desk with little to do.
Offering advice.
>>17372048
What are your 2 successful kids doing? And the failures? What are the main differences between them?
>>17372048
How did you get started setting up your own business? I've always liked the idea of starting a business but I'm afraid because I've no prior experience.
>>17372054
All the kids are pretty successful, considering only 1 is an adult. All do well in education and the oldest is doing great in the real world.
The largest differences are their interests.
What is the warehouse clerk job like?

Boring as fuck depending on coworkers. But money is money. Take the job.
been with girlfriend for the past five or so months, officially. we dated around this time last year but she basically dumped/sidelined me to party. it didn't help that her friend (who just dumped herself) kept egging her on.
she came back, apologized, i thought i could forget it and move past it since I had other things going on too. thinking it would be different, i went along with a second go
now, esp when that other friend comes around, i get the same gut feelings of being blindsided, hurt, knowing i wasn't "good enough" the first go and now im like some safety net.
i think it's best now that i break it off completely and just start something new with someone else instead of always questioning things..
am i being rational here or is my ego getting in the way?
Your rationality could be clouding your heart. What are your feelings, despite your head?
>>17371990
the problem is not her friend but the girl you call your gf. you are not a priority. you were not before and you are not now. you are fully justified in your concern and I suggest self preservation and get away from her. she will hurt you again
>>17371998
I really liked her and the fact we clicked so well in the beginning made me consider seeing her again. But I guess that was part of the newness/honeymoon phase of it too.
I know she loves me but I can't help to think that she's just afraid to be lonely mixed in with abandonment issues as well
I can't get get any girl interested in me. I typically meet her, talk for a bit, exchange facebook/phone number and usually never hear from them after. I reach out a little to them but if she makes no effort, does that mean she has 0 interest? I don't chase girls because it looks weak and beta as fuck. And in any case, there is already like 10 hotter guys already talking to her so why even try?
You just don't have the right drive and - yeah, hh, you kind of have to ask for it.
>>17371975
Do you have anything in common with these girls? If you have nothing in common with a chic that's literally a "k bye".
>>17371988
But there's already a ton of guys orbiting her, why bother? My social skills are sub-par and I am at best a 7/10. I work out, got 2 jobs, a car, some hobbies and generally open minded. Not sure what am I doing wrong
>bf doesnt wanna go out
>go to nightclub with best friend
>take booze and some other stuff
>get black out drunk
>wake up in bed with her
>both in our underwear
>I got some marks in me
>no one talks about it
Should I ask what happened or assume nothing did?
>>17371948
Tell him like a grown ovary.
>>17371948
You had a threesome probably.
Congratulations on cucking your boyfriend by fulfilling every man's fantasy with not him.
two chicks can't really have sex, so unless you think tyrone joined in I'd say you are alright.
have you and your best friend fooled around before? I mean yeah shit happens when you get black out drunk, but, generally it starts when there are some "feelings" before - not out of no where.
I am a girl. Should I shave my head?
>>17371938
I would ask you to consider:
I am a male. Should I shave my head?
>>17371938
If you want to look pretty, probably not.
>>17371938
Guys will instantly recognize you as a morally flexible liberal and gradually you will transform into a true, liberated cumdumpster. Your call, really.
Anyone have advice for someone taking psychedelics for the first time?
>>17371877
Have a couch.
>>17371877
If you start having a bad time, just tell yourself that you are under a temporary substance. The trip will end.
Otherwise, find some music you like and a comfortable place to enjoy your experience.
Chillax
Be cool
Actively seek enjoyment
Let no fear or doubt cross your mind
You're like a giant dinosaur man
Also watch for the spiders crawling out of the walls
How do i stay composed and refrain from being abusive to an irrational partner.
I snap and i feel terrible for being like that.
>>17371841
break off the relationship and find someone that better suits your likings
>>17371842
But i like her and love her, i am stressed myself and i feel like i don't know how to deal with her problems additional to mine.

Where can you buy that lama?!? It is amazing and i want to own it!
My dating life has been such a shit show of me going out of my way to make the other person happy:
ROUND ONE:
>2007
>never dated
>date 1/10 nerdy shut in
>give all my attention
>cheats on me with 1/10
>dumps me
Okay maybe two not so good looking people belong together?
ROUND 2:
>2009
>date 7/10 gym rat (ex-obese kid)
>give all of my attention
>they cheat
>forgive it
>dumps me anyway
Okay, maybe that person was just a sex craved fiend?
ROUND 3:
>2010
>date 6/10 random
>2 yrs in; get cheated on
>dumps me for new person
>doesn't work out with new person
>random tries to get back with me
>wow fuck you no
Okay. Maybe I shouldn't have given the stalker a chance to show me that they weren't a creep.
ROUND 4:
>2013
>date 7/10 hobbit
>self absorbed af
>give all my attention
>demands become too heavy
>sense break up coming

Don't date your friends yet alone fuck one.
ROUND 5:

>date 9/10 ultra awk nerd
>has a shit ton of issues
>don't care think I'm in love
>dumps me
I fell really hard for that one, to this day that one hurt the most.
ANYWAY.
Rounds 1-3 I held out on sex but figured maybe not having sex caused the dumps so since round 3 I started putting out and it's been just as bad. Whether you have sex or not you get taken for granted.
I don't know what to do.
I can really use some advice on dating guys. I always hear dudes complaining that women don't give a shit and they're only after your assets (whether it's money or ur junk; maybe both) and here I am giving dudes my all and getting spit in my face.
Do you have to not give a shit about the other person???
>>17371843
I have no idea. I mean in all honesty you will never know for sure if someone won't cheat on you. I mean my parents were together for 25 years and my dad still cheated. And it's not just them there's plenty of times were this happens. All you can do is trust someone. Which can be pretty hard, but it's all you can do. Also work on yourself as well, not just giving all to your significant other.
>>17371872
that's the debate here, so should I just keep things at "I" and "me" and no "we" or "us"???
I'm a bear. My fur is soft, and my teeth are sharp. I'll answer your problems
>>17371815
I can never date the theoretical woman of my dreams at this moment. For some reason. What can I do to find another true woman of my dreams? Is that even the right way? I want to mate and make a family, but I am poor and rude and few women of class will have me, to complain.
Short of cutting my eyes out and taping them to a flying saucer to catch some truly out of this world action, what is a guy to do when his dreamgirl is a nightmare?
Besides giving freshly caught wild salmon - how do I make him fall for me like he never has for a woman?
;) lets see if bear can help
I've recently just felt nothing at all. The past month my father died in a car accident and mother just took her fucking life last week. I got the responsibility of looking after my 14yo sister and I know I'm going to be in utter shit. I've also started drinking and smoking to relieve myself from this situation but I know it only makes it worst.
Apart from that, how many bears does it take to change a lightbulb?
Hi /adv/, if I ask a girl out and she says no, will I lose my friendship with her?
Pic not related
>>17371808
Yes, probably. The word is "kind of."
If she says you will also lose your friendship with her.
>>17371823
>yes. not you.
