Has anyone here completely changed their career? Got sick of being an office wagecuck and decided to get out and do something different? What were you doing before, and what are you doing now?

picture of my ex came up on my facebook with her new boyfriend. Breakup was bad, everyone took my side, and it was 3 years ago, but it put me in a sad mood. also have been having dreams about her and I dont like having them.
I'm always teetering on depression, was diagnosed with moderate to severe depression about 4 years ago and put on lexapro. it worked but the side effects were worse than the depression, and I found that weightlifting and better diet helped almost as much, but i still have this aimless feeling about life.
I know there isnt an easy answer, but does anyone have any tricks or advice for someone who seems to be perpetually in a slump at best, or full on depressed at worst?

I wish I knew, but honestly I just went through 8 years of depression without knowing what the fuck I was doing and now I feel okay.
>>
>>17300376
looking back I've had pretty bad depression for most of my life and I just didnt realize that it wasnt a normal amount, and I had irrational anxiety over things as far back as being like a 4 or 5 year old.
college made things a lot worse though.

Ok, so I dont want to be a leech, so I'll post things that ive found helpful in situation like this (while simultaneously bumping my own thread)
Working out. not running as I hate cardio, but lifting weights for at least an hour, even up to 3 hrs a day have immense effects on my mood for the rest of the day. I had been told that side effects of working out are better mood and neurotransmitters and stuff, but i never really wanted to do it, until I started doing it. after almost 3 years its become a regular part of my life. I do see a significant change in my overall mood - no longer severely depressed, wanting to get hit by a car, just waiting to die all the time. Also its fun to try new things and see how your body reacts like exercises and dietary restrictions. Also went from 196 and like 30% bodyfat to 186 and 12-15%, which is a substantial difference in body comp, and I feel healthier physically speaking, no upset stomach, chronic back pain, or migraine headaches.
Vitamin B has noticeable fast acting effects, but I have to take it in large doses. usually whats in a 5hr energy is 12,000 and 8,000 percent B12 and B6 for the day and that helps me.
Walking is good for general calmness. I walk or try to walk to class (when I was in school), school, gym, and store for small things. I was at a time walking between 7 and 10 miles a day.
During that time I started listening to podcasts a lot. good distraction and more intellectually stimulating than music. I listen to Joe Rogan, Your Moms House, Radiolab, Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Planet Money (great way to learn about the economy in short, relevant bits), Snap Judgement, and Wait, Wait, Dont Tell Me
I briefly had a job writing computer code for a USDA lab, and one summer by boss pulled me off the computer to pick blueberries with some of the other people in the lab. It was the best job Ive ever had. A lot can be said about working outside and with other people. look in to it for the experience.

Where do I find comfy 28-40 year old females?
Not Craigslist shut-in types but like the well adjusted and interesting to talk to kind that give me faith in the female gender?
Also how do I impress them enough to date as a 21 yo student?
Btw for anyone who wants to make fun or post buzzwords, this isn't a physical fetish or anything, I think I just found a genre that hits most of my criteria.
>not social media obsessed
>not crippilingly anxious
>doesn't project anxiety
>interesting experiences and personality
>can laugh at self
>up for most activities if the company is good
>a calmer counterweight to youthful paranoia and self destruction rather than doubling the amount in the relationship
I could go on.
Anyone have any experience with this?

Just called a law firm, said they charge $1000 to take my case, the attorney said to hire an attorney relatively soon to get the paperwork filled out before the next arraignment, then hung up. Should I even bother with this shit or just take the $200 littering ticket and get it taken off my record later? It's in MO and I believe it's a misdemeanor. No doubt the case would get dropped right off the bat if I hire a lawyer.

OP isn't sure if it's a felony. A felony sticks on your record and is generally something you'd want to avoid.

So I am a guy who have never been in a relationship before.
Like a month ago I met a girl online and we have been talking to each other ever since.
I am rather introverted so most of the time she leads conversation and I am just reacting to it. She seems to be fine with it and so am I.
Lately she started to talk a lot about her issues with relationships with her friends.
I feel like it's really important to her and I don't really mind it so I listen and give her my insight on the topic.
Turns out now it's pretty much our main topic of conversation.
>How should I feel about it?
>Is this what women really like to talk about?
>Should I try to change the topic to something more pleasant?
>Am I her gay friend now?

You aren't steering the conversation so what do you think happens? Are you stupid? She's out of shit to say, so now she's discussing her emotions. Obviously had some interest in you to initiate. Most girls don't do that. So how about you stop being a lazy piece of shit and contribute to the conversation.
>>
>>17300332
>How should I feel about it?
Whatever you naturally feel about it
>Is this what women really like to talk about?
When they consider you their friend, yes
>Should I try to change the topic to something more pleasant?
If you ONLY talk about it, then yes, but it is a sign of trust and also she might talk to you about it because she needs to blow some steam off
>Am I her gay friend now?
Not necessarily, but if neither you or her has made any romantic advances (have you even met IRL btw?) then it's not very probable that anything is going to happen.
>>
>>17300343
Well that's the one way to put things up but in this case I should just kill myself.
Every time I get to know someone I burn all my topics in like 2 weeks and then there is nothing more to say unless I want to repeat myself.
Even talking about sports and hobbies I do gets dull over time.
>>17300345
Yes I was thinking about it this way. That she kind of trust me. So I am not sure if I should just try to turn topic to something else or let her "cry herself out". I mean she might feel like I don't give a fuck about her feelings if I just change the topic.
And no we haven't met yet. But that topic came out few times already.

Hi /adv/.
I just come to ask (if somebody have a clue).
Why does everytime in my dreams, when i'm in a dangerous situation i always fail myself?
Explaining: whenever i dream i'm in a fight, my punches won't deal damage. It doesn't matter how hard i punch, it wouldn't work even if i try to be fast. After trying, enemies laugh from me, they know i can't deal damage, or something like that.
I dream i'm being shot. I dream i fail.
10 minutes ago i dreamt i was in a bank then a guy come to rob it. He surrendered the guards and another people, then, i felt like i was a guard, i had a gun. I crounched after a chair and pulled the trigger, but nothing seemed to work, no bullets. What the fuck!?

You probably feel as though you can't defend yourself or what you love properly.
>>
You feel powerless in your day to day life. This is a common dream children have living with authoritarian parents. Also the gun in a phallic symbol. A gun that won't shoot could connote sexual insecurity as well.
>>
>>17300240
Although i know i can deal damage even with the slightest punch...
Yeah, i'm not the most self assured person in the world, but i know how to deal damage and consequently how to defend myself.
Then what? Why does this still happens?
I can't remember the last punch i hit someone in dreams.
>>17300254
I don't think i have insecurity in sex. I'm most insecure on other relationship points, but not sex.

More time passes. I work with her sister who is the complete opposite of her, socially, and I find out she not only likes the kinds of music I do but likes the same sports, movies, books, political views, games, clothing etc., and it's very specific. I could go on and on; it's almost scary. I start developing a huge crush on her.

Need some relationship advice guys
I've been with a girl now for around 18 months and she's always talking to guys on Facebook and claims nothing is going on but she used to be a slut years ago
should I just dump her before I get embarrassed if she cheats on me?

Yes, dumping someone because of paranoia is clearly the best approach.
>>
>>17300182
yes, you know better than this shit. She's already embarrassing you. You're the guy who's dating a slut
>>
>>17300187
Actually it is because your gut feeling is usually correct and if he feels this way he probably should get rid of her

To be honest, I don't know whether to be glad to be alive or not since It been 6 month after graduated from film school with a bachelor degree of science.
However, I feels like nothing has change. I been living with my parents for 23 years in a shed and yet it feel like nothing change.
At this point, what should be my first step?

I met this guy through a mutual friend. We hit off instantly, he was holding the conversation, asking questions. He hugged me goodbye.
Later the same evening we met in a same party and as the alcohol sank in, we became like glued. Holding hands, starting, making out. This went on for hours, and later on we sat on the porch together for ages. He complimented my looks several times during the evening and not in a sexual manner. We basically spent hours snuggling, and I was the one calling out the date when it was like 4am already. He also fed me with food he was having and brought me drinks without me asking. He wanted to kiss goodbye and he said that "I'm here if you want you know if you want, see ya later."
We ended up to a same party during the very same weekend. Very quickly I could tell him getting closer and closer to me and touching my back while we were talking with other people. Later that evening we made out again and hugged a lot. He made me wait for him when he went to the bathroom and wasn't hitting on other girls. We were just as glued together as earlier. We left the scene together and went for a walk. He asked me to join his place later, and asked if I'm sure when I politely said that I'll skip.
All the signs are there, but then again there are few things which I should mention. This mutual friend of ours is visibly jealous and got angry at us. Also, I happen to know that he has just dumped his long-term gf and this friend of ours did tell me that "he's desperate and will bang anything now, just so you know. :)" However I don't know who's interests he serves, cause he doesn't want me to date that friend of his and we both know that this friend of ours has feelings for me. These guys are close friends.
So what gives? All the sings are there, but then again a part of me is telling that he is just desperate or something and that I'm not in his league anyway. Is it so that he'll contact me if he wants to hang out again?

It looks like he simply wants to have some fuck and works hard on that while you cockblock poor guy every damn time.
I don't know what's this "mutual" guy in here, but he is out of the game.
>>
This needs a little clarification. The jealous first friend who introduced you to the second guy from the parties said the second guy is desperate? That's pretty much the most simple, jealous tactic to try and get you away from the second guy.
>>
>>17300130
guy was just trying to fuck you and almost did. I get it, he just broke up a long relationship and fucking something new helps temporarily. Never good to be that person or persons right after a long relationship ends.

Two-three weeks ago I had unprotected sex a girl I used to fuck sometime back in 2013. Right after sex, she told me she had had unprotected anal sex with a bunch of Somalis (long story short, she's a heroin addict and she used to deal to make money but I guess she turned to prostitution instead).
Now I have fever, my joints hurt and I have a sore throat, which might be symptoms of acute HIV infection or a fucking flu.
I know I can't rely on a negative test until 6 months, but is there any point in going to the doctors tomorrow and get a blood test at all?
Pic not related, but was my reaction when she told me (right fucking after).

yes, because if you get a positive and taking pills now you'll be much better off. also you probably have all the other STDs, some of those you can get a negative for now

Sorry OP but I'm too busy laughing to form a proper response.
Is it worth it to specialize in a field?
I'm naturally inclined toward reading books about any and all subjects, but as a result have no real deep knowledge of any subject which essentially renders me unemployable as far as any real careers go.
I'd consider myself kind of well-rounded at this point. I have about 1300 more books to get to that I have downloaded, should I just delete them once I find a field to specialize in and focus solely on that? Would the benefits (money, subject mastery, etc) outweigh what I'd gain by continuing on my current path?

There is no reason why you can't do both, OP. You can choose one field to specialise in and make a career out of, while spending your own time reading up on a wide variety of subjects on your own.
