Nihilism is kind of curable. I had the exact same experience: I had everything but I was scared of what would happen to me when I died along with the feeling of uselessness in everything and couldn't think of what to do.
Best ways to get out of your depression are to contact old friends again, go on walks, drink lots of water, do vauge exercises, and if all else fails, watch some good comedy every once in a while.

Hello /adv/
I know that intrusive thoughts are kinda common but I am in real crisis. Ive been having intrusive toughts for like 7 months and they are driving me crazy.
Ive been taking sertraline for 2 months, but I am not getting better, although sometimes it's easier to go through some of them I feel worse.
I live in constant anxiety, my intrusive thoughts breed my suicidal tendencies and my mood swings won't let me enjoy anything. I don't know what to do anymore, I don't want to die, there is someone special in my life however lastly she breeds my crippling mind.
Will respond if you want to help and need some information.

If you get an entirely free day (like a weekend), go on a really long walk. Bring some food if you like, but nothing too distracting.
Don't plan a route. Just find a footpath and go. You could use Google maps or something if you get lost and it'll clear your head out.
>>
>>17354151
Well It doesn't work well, I do it kinda often and it doesn't help anyhow. To be honest it makes me depressed because I have to deal with myself for a longer time, I cant even deafen them
>>
>>17354162
Oh, deafen them?
Music is your answer. Something catchy, something new. Maybe something with lyrics.
Possibly watch some videos about something interesting or a TV show.
Just set aside a day to yourself without your brain doing too much work.

Hi /adv/, I need some long-term advice to plan out my life:
I'm a 20 yo student in Chile (3rd year of university), and I'd really like to join a NGO or Foundation that will help me travel the world, meet people from other backgrounds and help out people if possible. Obviously, I'll do this when I get out of uni. I study Public Administration, so I will get training and education in Administration and Policies (among other disciplines), but I'm not a Medic to join Médecins Sans Frontières or an Engineer or something that has a more technical and pragmatic way to help. I don't really know if these Orgs need people with my studies.
My English is decent and I think I can get a TOELF certificate next year, so I can at least communicate with foreigners, but almost everyone speaks 2 languages at this point.
I'm also working, in my spare time, in a organization inside my University focused on helping poor kids enter higher education, so that might help my résumé, but on the other hand it isn't that big of a deal.
What do you guys think I need to get inside an NGO (or if you know any NGOs)? I really want this to work out so I can at least feel that I did my part in trying to make the world better.

Any advices on how to ask for a raise, /adv/?
I work at a cvs warehouse in hawaii and I'm getting like 9.18/hr for back breaking work. First our receiving team only has two people, me and my supervisor, who doesn't do shit but criticize my work. I never got any appreciation from her ever since I started working here. Note that I transfered here from anowhere store that does the same job. Another thing is that before I started working here, they could somehow afford to have 2 supervisors. After one of them left I asked if I could go for the supervisor job. Wouldn't you know, I got denied. In my mind, I would think they'd eventually bump up my pay. But no. I need help man. My parents refuse to help with fafsa and I gotta pay for school out of pocket. I'm tempted to quit right now but I gotta try first. Any tips and tricks?
Pic related, just one of the many things I did in the warehouse

No wonder they can't afford to pay you shit, they have to fly in and out all goods.
If you thought semi's made a lot of money, try cargo pilots out.

>>17354040
Your supervisor doesn't like your work and you have no way to demonstrate that you're being undervalued. Sounds like you need to find a new job since you're going to have one hell of a time getting a raise. Also, your story reeks of bias but that's not important right now.

Nobody knows for sure.
Some even theorize that we never die at all: the hypothesis is called quantum immortality. It's an offshoot of the many-worlds hypothesis: the idea that everything which COULD happen, DOES happen, somewhere in the universe. Quantum immortality posits that consciousness can only exist in timelines where events and decisions come about to continually prevent its cessation. Thus, while you may exist in many timelines, your consciousness only "rides" those timelines where you go on living. If you would die, your consciousness stops riding those timelines, but continues to ride all others, and you never notice the difference because you were already there.

The most important thing is to be patient with them. If there's something they don't understand, try simplifying it a bit. Avoid just giving them the answers, and try pushing them forward having them figuring it out. The only time you should consider the opposite is on the very first question, to show an example of how to solve.

Why are you depriving your brothers of social interaction?
Isn't this site warning enough as to why this is a bad idea?

I'm 20 now. I haven't had any ambitions my whole life. When I was a kid my mom always put me somewhere YMCA, music classes, martial arts but as much as I maybe enjoyed some of these at the beginning I quickly lost interests and at the end I ended up with nothing.
I never knew what to do with my life. I went to business high school just because I knew that it's gonna be easy to get through and I'm gonna go to college anyway (there are two types of schools where I live after which you can go to college, this is the easier one).
I never did really good at school, not because I was stupid but because I've never really seen a point of getting good marks when you're gonna get through anyway. Because of this my mom took me to several kid psychologists to find out what's wrong with me, all of them told me and her that I'm more intelligent than the average and hearing that only made me screw everything even more.
Now I'm at college, just as I planned but lately I've been starting to realise that this is the last checkpoint. After this I'm gonna be free and I don't know if I will handle all this world. As I said I never knew what I'll be doing in the future and this starts to scare the shit out of me. I never wanted to be a millionaire, I never wanted expensive shit, big houses, cars or models. All I'm gonna ever need is a job that will cover expenses for food, rent and my addictions. But I don't know if I'll be happy.
Always been a realist and now I see it like I'm gonna just kill myself in my late twenties. Seriously I don't know a person who is more lost in this world than me, it's kind of embarassing but it's a really big question that is hovering over life of every one of us.

Yeah, I fucked around a lot in school. In college now, but it doesn't motivate me enough. Parents tried pushing me into all kinds of hobbies, didn't take. I'm fine with being a receptionist the rest of my life. After I finish college, that'll be it for me.
But then I got a boyfriend. At first, it was just a nice passing thing, didn't care much. But now he sprung on me that he's moving to Philly and wants me to move in with him - that I don't even have to help pay the rent and he'll take care of me and all that shit. Obviously I won't allow that, because I can take care of my own damn self. But man did those words move something in my lazy, dead heart. Maybe I'm trying harder now because I finally have something to work towards.
>>
I feel out of place, lost, unable to fit in with other people, but reading something that wrote somebody who feels like me give a little break. I don't think that i'm more intelligent than anybody but i see things, moments and situations in a very different approach, maybe we see the world as really is and that make us feel tired and disappointed, but i think that those who can see the truth can make a change, doesn't matter if is a little one, it's still a change. Don't give OP, life is hard but we can get harder.
Ps. Good music and great people make it less shitier.

>>17353972
I'm not gonna lie to myself about being lazy. I know I'm lazy but it's hard not to be lazy while you're not seeing point in anything you are doing.
Currently I'm at my happiest phase of my life, I met a girl who makes me happy and with which I spent most of my time, never really met anyone I'd get along better, we would be the best couple but fuck me, she is lesbian. But she's like a sister to me, it's great.
I hate my voice. It's really nasally, and I got a girls number today and asked her out to the movies and my voice fucking cracked. What are some techniques so that by friday I'm talking like a normal person. I'm specifically asking stage actors, singers, or anyone who has had to modulate their voice somehow.

Check youtube. There are plenty of pros teaching you tricks to practice how to properly utilize your voice.

Drink hot sauce and lemon juice to open up your throat. Then speak from your diaphragm rather than from your chest like people instinctually do. Voice should come out way smoother

>>17353942
>by Friday
Fucking nothing lol.
How about stop being a vagina and quit being self-conscious about something as dumb as your voice. That's like being self-conscious about the color of your hair or your eyes or some shit.

Drink more booze until that feeling goes away. Then eventually all of your feeling will go away once your liver looks like Swiss cheese.

Right before you go to the liquor store... Don't.
Or tell your regular clerk you're trying to quit and that if you come in there for a drink not to sell it to you.
I'm a clerk at a liquor store and customers have done that before.
Usually I won't see them for a few months, then they'll come back and want a shot, and then they're a regular again.
I'm a salesman, so I don't give a fuck about their well being, but who knows, yours might have a heart and even call an AA rep for ya.
So...meeting your gf/bf's parents for the first time. How can I make sure this doesn't end up like cringe central?
Mothet talks way too much, Dad is a super stoic strong silent type who can't small talk for shit.
I must know the secrets. Please help, or at least share promising stories of meeting parents for the first time.

Hi /adv/. 25/m here.
Sooo. I pretty much fucked up my life and the realization just hit me.
About a year ago i got into a big fight with a couple of my friends. We stopped talking and hanging out. I only maintained contact with few of those. Fast forward a few weeks and the girl of one of those "Ex-friends" hits on me. Sure, i do not talk with that dude anyway and since i had some serious feelings about the girl i decide to go for it. She breaks up a few weeks later and for a month and something things were going smoothly. Then all hell broke loose.
She was having second thoughts mainly because the guy was pathetic and was practically begging her to come back. In the end she broke up with me after another month of rollercoaster feelings. A break up is tough no matter what but still it hit me badly. I cut all ties with her and went on with my life.
The thing is, i knew her and all those guys for about 3 years now and never really understood how much they gave me, how much they changed me and how much of a jackass i was. I tried to recall what i was doing with my life and what the hell i was before i met them and i realised they were the reason i matured as a person. This came as the finishing blow in a series of events that only now became clear to me.
I am 25yo, i work in a job that has no future prospects, i am still in the university and i simply roll along with no desire to get my degree. Relations with my family are completely broken and even though i have lots of friends, none of them feel close to me. It seriously feels like i am alone with no purpose, no achievements and not a single soul to trust them with how i feel. I feel like i am in a swamp with noway out.
TLDR: just read the last part.
So, what can i do to get out of this hellhole?
PS: English is not my mother tongue so kindly forgive any mistakes.

I'm even worse. I live with my ex since we broke just a few months ago. The friends i had are her friends now and they cut me off (not that i care after all what happened). Basically sometimes she treat me like shit and i ignore. I have no job (but looking for one). And everyone i tell my story just tells me to kick her ass (which i don't want to do since i consider myself to be a good person, i feel bad for that and i still like her as a person).
What i've been trying to do is just move on with my things. I have no close relationship with my family as well, so i'm trying to do my thing. Get a job, struggle hard and get out of this hole everyone dig alongside me.
You don't really need much friends imo. Just follow your heart on things. Do what you love and think it's right. About it.
>>
>>17353875
Cont.
Imo things won't get better to us from day to night. We will have to work a lot in every aspect to get things fixed.
