Youtube has all sorts of decent home cooling how toos made with a variety of materials id start there.

>>17176998
Whoa thanks. I'll check that out.

A window fan is your best shot.
If you've got the cash to throw at this problem, a good box fan at your door would help, too. Establish a channel for airflow. Bring in air through the window fan, and throw the hot crap out the door with the box fan.


Humidifier will only make it hotter.

Hobbies, shared interests are the key.

Go and start doing something you like at a place other people do that same thing too.

>>17176986
I guess that's got to be it.

I'm going back to college in the fall, maybe that can help.

I guess most of my hobbies are very solitary - I really need to extend a little bit further perhaps.

It always seems that I stumble when I go to try to make friends - like I might be trying just a bit too hard.

>I'm going back to college in the fall, maybe that can help.

Thats practically the best case scenario, hit the gym a bit (or equivalent) in preparation ittl help make things easier once you get there.

>like I might be trying just a bit too hard
Yes dont make yourself available too much, it seems paradoxical but a well rounded person doesnt care if you like them or not be true to yourself and the right people will gravitate to you but you cant find true friends living a lie ya gotta be real.

I'll never understand the mentality with being ok in being one of someone's many partners, only Arab princes get a pass I guess since it's a choice between living in absolute luxury or being stoned to death.

Your partners can't chip in?

>>17176963
Of course we all chip in, but we're all poor students, and the place we live in has crazy property values. If we move, it means more loans and bigger debts, and those decisions need to be made at the start of academic years., and this is a sudden thing that is popping up in the middle of a year.

Which drug(s)?

>>17176939
I am high right now and have been an addict for 8 years and I can honestly tell you there is no way to stop someone from doing drugs if they aren't willing to stop themselves. For me there is no limit to what I won't do to get high. If a person around you is on drugs then you need to make the decision rather to be around that person and not change their decision.

>>17176943
Dxm, meth etc

>>17176918
>but ever since about last year, I haven't had much of anything to look forward to

Time to add to your life, shake it up somehow can be anything from starting a buisness, to a new hobby you were always interested in, to moving to a new place.

Specifics will vary for you but you need to shake things up and start moving forward.

>>17176918
The only alternative is death which is inevitable anyway. So, might as well do the whole living thing than take the shortcut to oblivion, yeah?

>>17176927
I've tried to find things to actually look forward to, to no avail, alas. I've dabbled in piano since, and creative writing classes, but everything I actually get into always ends up sending me back to where I began. Piano, for example, the sadness of its history, and what it's most known for, the players and music style. The inability to fulfill its prime objective of making you relax with beautiful music and culture, and its inevitable stress causing in playing professionally, or the scary fact that you'd be shunned and booed if you were even to screw up on one note. Or creative writing, which causes me to dive deeper and deeper into my conscience, causing me to reassess and overthink my own life more and more, in turn causing me to sink deeper into my depression.

>>17176914
>Ive got some rice, carrots, breakfast cerial and onions along with a little pasta. Hopefully it'll be okay.
Damn, you got it good. Today I sucked a dick for a piece of celery.

Point is OP, someone's always got it worse.There's always hope for a better future if you work at it. Have you actually put effort into improving your living conditions?

>>17176925
Been trying keep failing job interviews. Slowly getting broker and broker. Now im really broke nothing left to sell.

I dont know how to help myself and i have no family or support network. Dont know how to fix things alone. Starting to keep more depressed the more my efforts fail.

>>17176937
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Sell blood if you need to. Pawn unnecessary possessions for cash.

As for a job, you might have to lower your standards. Find a construction site and just ask if they need a spare hand. Do yard work for people. Look at bulletin boards and see what people need help with.

At this point you're not looking to start a career - you're looking to survive. Once you get back on track then you can look towards the horizon. Now you just need to worry about getting out of the mud.

loneliness. you need more human interaction, maybe a handshake or a pat on the back could ease the sadness.

when was the last time you got a hug?

>>17176863
what!? why!?

>>17176863
There's a Latin quotation (Google it) that means "All animals are sad after sex" After the high of an orgasm, there is an inevitable sudden drrop in energy and intensity, which can feel like unhappiness but is really just not-as-happy-as-I-just-was-ness.

If, on top of that, you feel disappointed that it was just masturbation and not the real thing, it can be even more depressing.But a lot of people feel that even after perfect sex.

>>17176814
going by your pic, 3 twice a day seems about right.

Me and my dad built a pond which now has about 30 goldfish in it. We always went by the rule of 5 minutes. If there's any food left after 5 then it's too much, if all the food is gone well before 5 there's not enough.
That was with fish flakes but I feel like it still applies

Goldfish a pretty resilient, if it's not enough food they'll just eat the algae or bugs living in the pond so you don't really have to worry

Stop talking to her, shes unstable and not worth the trouble.

She kept saying "no no no don't worry I'm not mad" but then wouldn't talk to me all day. This girl is sweet and fine as they come in can't just stop talking to her over this.

Then you face the consequences, bitches who arent crazy dont do that shit thats the end of story anon and its something you need to be fully aware of if you continue.

>>17176797
Kill your self

>>17176984
yeah but if OP is depressed I recommend getting high and masturbating first just to see if life feels a little better afterwards.

>>17176797
Get a employed, educated or trained.

>>17176761
Have you tried asking him what he thinks?

Of course it is, you're screwing him out of potentially a high income. You're literally stealing his idea for your own gain. Of course, you could let him into the fold, or I guess deal with the lawsuit later

>>17176764
Not yet, that's why im trying to get advice first..
>>17176766
Let me clarify a bit, he hasn't really written anything down it was just something he was thinking about. Also, I have been expanding on his original idea so I've brought new thoughts and material to it since he told me.

Yes. Also fuck that conversion, the Saudis must pay

as a starting pay? yes if its just a customer service job or a job that doesnt require a masters degree etc.

does that sum increase per year ?

>>17176779
don't know my friend is getting paid that much as an electrician
just 2 years of schooling
not sure if that is good pay or not :/

I had a similar thing happened to me. The best thing to do is not bring it up with him/her but comfort him/her if they bring it up. Just dont risk offending them or upsetting them by striking up the conversation with them yourself

"I just heard about your father. Is there anything I can do? If you have to go to him, I could pick up your homework/hand in your assignments/take notes/cover your part time job. If not, I'm a good listener if you want to talk about it."

>>17176733
Bro, I'm sorry about your dad. Here if you need to talk.

Alternatively...

"At least it will be cheaper to buy slippers for christmas now"

Also I volunteered at an elderly facility for 6 months.

I think it really depends on where you live and the legislation/policies in place that determine who gets cut in the recruitment/selection process...

I think the real piece of info that determines everything is, have you been caught and charged for possession and selling? If so, how long ago?

>>17176684
I live in California. I've never been in trouble with the law. I've gotten one speeding ticket 6 years ago and that's it.

Are you even dating? Because it doesn't sound like you're dating

>>17176676
Well, she says she loves me...

>>17176681
So? I tell my friends that I love them too, that doesn't mean I'm dating them
