he's been going through an amazingly rough time lately. today was going to be especially hard for reasons i'm not sure i want to write about in public. but he posted some very suicidal sounding lyrics from a song about suicide, and then signed out of facebook.

that was last night (over 24 hours now), and his mom was trying to contact him on facebook just an hour ago. he's hard to reach when he wants to be because he has no working phone. was only facebook when he was on wifi. but he has wifi at his apartment so idk. his wife also hasn't been online in over 24 hours and she was a big part of his problems, being borderline and all.

i don't want to call the police because in his situation it would only make things worse for him. and we weren't super close friends yet. like we've hung out at the park and gone to a movie together with another friend, but i don't know where he lives.

i've had friends commit suicide before and this feels so similar. it's scary.

My retail job sucks fucking dick and I get paid 11.45 an hour.

Should I work as an unarmed security guard in the suburbs I live in? How's the starting pay?

Looking for a job where I don't do shit so I can read books/ watch shows/ study for school

Retail is a better career.

Stick to what you know.
>>
>>17308600
Retail is not a career and I doubt you have any experience with anything else.

Do it OP. Pays like 14-15 bucks an hour around my neck of the woods, and our minimum is 10.45. Know two guys who do it, they get bored but like it more than customer service. Realize you're getting paid to ask drunk people to stop whatever it is they're doing.
>>
>>17308600

It's not a career and plus I don't give a shit about keeping my area clean and up to standards when I close the store. I don't give a shit to clean up after people and be disrespected constantly by retards. I'm fucking tired of my managers giving me shit because I forgot to move up that one product from the shelf.

I'd rather work a job where I can to sit there and spend time how I'd like to spend it. I have a lot more important things to do.

>>17308607
That's what I thought. If there's any hint of crime (which by the way would be extremely unlikely since I live deep inside a high middle class suburb in a rich city) I just have to call the cops or some other security to handle that shit.

I just want to be there as a scarecrow basically.

Eat shit, drive around, repeat.

Now I want to ask people that have experience in this, however, if my perception is close to reality.

Does therapy actually work?

For a person with acute anxiety and insecurity who admits they have a problem and wants to change, how effective is therapy?

I've tried everything myself and my relationship is hanging on my a thread. This is my last chance. I need "results" fast, not a cure. Just some tiny improvements would be nice.

Any past experience?

That and being heavily medicated 24/7.
>>
>>17308591
Will therapists deal with getting me medicated after a diagnosis? I'm not opposed to trying something that drastic because this is gotten to the point where it's tearing my life apart. There is literally nothing I haven't tried except professional therapy, and meds.

A free first therapy session said I definitely have problems and would benefit from more sessions but how much do these things work?

Is this like a "you'll be seeing changes in a month" kinda thing or a "you'll be fixed in time for your third marriage" kinda thing?
>>
>>17308589
It does. A good therapist is more of a tool to help you get through things yourself.

Talking to a good therapist is like wearing corrective lenses for the first time. You forget how distorted and clouded your perspective has gotten, but in time you should be able to identify the source, or sources, to your problems.

Worthlessness leads to Hopelessness which leads to Helplessness which in turn leads to more worthlessness and the cycle continues. My therapist told me that no one is helpless so that's where you have to concentrate your efforts.

Hey /adv/,

I was “seeing” this chick up until the end of last semester, and things were good. She left weed in my condo, and then my landlord wants to inspect in 2 days. I let her know but she can’t make it over to get it (40 min. drive) and I can’t store it in my car, the aroma was far too potent and I did not want to drive with it in my car or park on campus with it.

I text a friend, give him the weed (about an oz) and he smoked it. She texts 2 days after inspection wanting her weed, I let her know what happened and apologize. She demands money instead, but I am a broke college student and I can’t afford to buy that much weed. I offer to buy in small increments (being nice) but she doesn’t accept and shows up at my condo demanding money. I basically tell her to get fucked, the relationship ends, and haven’t spoken to her since.

She texts this morning wanting to get back together, but I think she overacted and I think it is just a small sample of things to come and I don’t have the time for that kind of bullshit.

Obviously I have thought about it, or I wouldn’t be here. She was fun to be around, don’t really miss her, but good times were had by all. I used to envision something more long-term with her, but I could’ve lost my condo, my grants and scholarships and got into deep shit and she was only worried about weed.

Let her go?

That was in fact a sample of things to come. You can get back together with her, but set a no illegal substances at my place rule.

The missing her part generally comes later and you probably will. Not telling you if you should or shouldn't get back with her, just a little advice from someone who's been there a few times.

So I'm 18, almost 19 now, and I've been vegetarian since birth. Parents raised me that way, I didn't really have an explicit choice. They've told me and my siblings that they don't care if we continue to be vegetarian but I mean social pressure is a real thing and I'm not sure how to tell them that I don't want to.

I was into it when I was around 8-12 but stopped caring around then. I don't eat fake meat anymore, it tastes disgusting. I don't really do any vegetarian things like try to cook creative meals, I'm just a regular person who avoids meat. Overall I think being a vegetarian has had negative health consequences on my life, I'm insanely weak and in horrible shape. So I'm thinking about switching just to improve my own life and make it so if maybe I have kids I don't raise them into this shit.

So what do you think? Should I stop being a vegetarian? If yes, what is the best vegetarian recovery process? I am weak as fuck, I barely eat food as is and don't think I couldn't handle jumping right into a meat diet. I think I would throw it up after a few hours.

Note: I'm home from school for the summer, and it would be more awkward for me to starting eating meat here now. In August, I will be back at school in the fall and the dining halls have plenty of meat options although it's not high quality I guess

There are many degrees of being a vegetarian, you don't say how hardcore or vegan you are.

Nobody says you should tuck into a steak if you haven't eaten meat in ten years.

If you're "vegan", then you can feel free to consume some animal protein that's produced in an earth friendly way. I'm sure you can get some advice from your local health food store.

If you haven't eaten meat in a decade, and haven't paid serious attention to your diet and protein intake, then you need to start slow. Like with milk or yoghurt, preferably organic, and some free range eggs fried in real butter served up on toast.

Having said all of that, isn't /fit/ the place to ask about this, seriously?

Start with some meat you are intrested in and work your way up

How do i stop letting people control me?

For years iv'e had teachers and bullies say stuff to me like that i'll never be what i want to be and that i'm stupid, i'll end up in jail, live in my parents basement ect.

I got out of high school a year ago but yet i still feel like crap and whenever i do something or think about doing something i always relive what has happened to me in the past. It's all in my head and i can't get anything done. How do i get over this stuff and move on?

I really wanted to give you an advice, but then I'll be controlling you, therefore making the advice for your situation useless.[justified bump].
>>
>>17308541
I can't really say much about how to move on because I have the same problem, but after a year of cutting all connections to the people who harrassed me, I understand that this control issue is really more deeply rooted with caring about what other people are saying.
You're constantly worried about what they think about you, and in return, you just start becoming unconfident with everything you do because so many people are saying you're terrible at some stupid thing that they think is important. And because so many people keep saying those kinds of stuff, you begin to doubt your own self-worth and let their voices echo in your head over and over like a broken record.
Those people who kept picking on you wanted a response. Usually, when you get picked on for some dumb thing (example: "You're just some wimp I could beat up"), you're supposed to respond the opposite of what they say about you. So in the example, you'd just get /fit/ and beat the shit out of the idiot who said that, because fuck them. They don't know you. You took steps to make them realize what they said about you was wrong.
If you didn't do anything about what they said, then those people would keep running their mouth about dumb shit just because you let them.
Getting over those kinds of thoughts seem to be more about doing the opposite of what all those people have said about you. I can't really say if it works, but it does lend a small hand in bringing a peace of mind. If you need more help trying to stop those thoughts, see a therapist about it. I'm starting to forget I'm just recently-minted NEET instead of a person qualified to talk about this.
>>
>>17309006
Fucking wall of text. I didn't mean to type out this much.

tl;dr: Doing the opposite of what those people said might help, but if it doesn't, seek help.

Starting university in 2 months. Have 1 more day before the change-of-mind for switching university courses and I'm stuck.

Two main options:
-European Studies which is basically European history as well as studying two languages.
-combination of maths+history or maths+language

European Studies
-I prefer studying history on my own time over anything else, its fun, and I want to study a language for the year abroad.


Maths courses
-In high school I made lots of friends in maths class, it seems like a much easier subject to bond with people over [spoiler]because it's more stressful and serious[/spoiler]
-Maths was my best subject at high school, got the highest grade, while I got less than that in history and French.
-Miss the banter from maths class.
-From my experience no matter how good my understanding of French was for high school my oral was always shit.
-Language courses are bound to attract more girls, I can't be friends with girls and they're harder to get along with.


I've taken a year off since high school. Was originally set on doing European Studies up until I started reminiscing on the good times in maths class about two months ago.

You're a freshman, don't shit buckets about what you're gonna major in right now. Officially pick up 4 classes in all categories you're interested in, and just visit whatever other classes in that category you're interested in. For most colleges, the first week is a free add/drop period, so make use of it. See what you feel comfortable in, and try focusing on it. If you don't like it, you've got a second semester.
>>
>>17308523
I don't think the American university model works the same as it does in my country. I'm meant to pick a set course, it just so happens that this university also does a two-subject degree where you can pick and choose (which is what I'd be doing if I want to do maths).


I hear it's true that you can go in early on and switch to a different course though, which is why I'm not getting too stressed over it yet. Really I'm meant to have my mind up by Friday though, the other stuff is through unofficial channels.
>>
>>17308547
Oh, I heard British colleges are essentially the same from a classmate. Or are you from elsewhere?

If you want to quicken the choice-making, there's a couple of options.
First would be to go to a forum specific to Math or EuroStud and ask about what they do. For example, I had a choice between mech engineering and math, and I chose math because I found an actuary forum and found the area interesting.
Second would be to go to someone you know that pursued knowledge in those subjects. Maybe ask your parents if they know anyone, or your friends.
Third is to go to some central area (for example, NYC for me) and attend a job fair or whatever there is. There should be something like that at some point in the year, look that stuff up. Go there, ask questions, learn things, etc.

If you can't think of anything, though, I'd say to ask your parents. They've been through all this shit already, so they probably know what works.

You should first recognize that /int/ is full of shitposters. You should then remember that this is the internet, where there is minimal risk in making fun of people.

After you have acknowledged those two, you should also note that people aren't perfect, including you, and that mistakes are about as common as the amount of times you scratch your balls.

That's part 1, anyways.

I'm facing possibly the worst Month of my life, starting tomorrow and i'm probably going to have to make some pretty big choices.

How do get through this, that is to say how do I cope with going through all of it. The lead up to it has me shaking already.

So I'm going to college to study up on electrical engineering, but there's sort of an issue regarding this. I am required to take a calculus course, but I did not meet the requirements to be able to take it this year, and taking the course any later will cause me to stay an extra year at the university I will be attending. Of course, I can bypass this by taking a trigonometry placement exam and passing it. I have some resources provided for me to study up on, but the issue lies in how I should tackle this. I remember some of the basics from my highschool pre-calculus class, but I don't know how I should approach this. I think my advisor has already assigned me a test date, but I'm not sure when yet- probably soon. I want to retain as much as I possibly can for this. What is a good method for studying an entire trigonometry unit?

I'm pretty sure I was told that under a rhetorical situation in which I don't take the extra class during the summer. I'm pretty sure that was just to light a fire under my ass. But yeah, if I don't take calculus this year, I will have to take pre-cal instead, which will just hold me back.

How do you deal with being ugly? I'm so ugly that other people that know me joke about it and call me ugly all the time (yeah, even politically correct girls)

I kinda feel shitty about it because i feel i'm totally unlovable, and people who doesn't know me tend to ignore me unless they need something from me.

what i can do? should i wait until everyone is 40 to feel normal?
