hey /adv/
so i know this might not be the best place ever to ask but you guys usually don't fail me

okay so: i am 18 and i was just diagnosed with severe depression and social anxiety and PTSD after feeling terrible for years but not having any healthcare system

today i was prescribed zoloft 25mg and i am supposed to start Wednesday

things were looking really shitty and hopeless like 2 weeks ago and it seemed like there was no way i was getting any kind of help any time soon so out of desperation i took it into my own hands

a friend offered me prozac, so i started taking 15mg prozac once a day
> inb4 "self-medicating is bad" believe me i know but it seemed like my only hope

i took it for 7 days, with today being the last day and me taking only ~5mg
(these are the instant release pills so i can cut them)

should i start taking the zoloft Wednesday? or should i wait and if so how long?
I'd only been taking the prozac for 7 days so it obviously didn't start working yet

i might repost this tomorrow because i might fall asleep before seeing any replies

wat do /adv/?

Dont fuck with chemicals that alter your brain. go see your local GP.
>>
>>17103463

You can start the zoloft like it was scheduled, they're the same type of molecule and you won't risk any type of overdose with it. Be aware nonetheless that you'll need to wait for several weeks for the changes to take place and that your mental state can be worse the first weeks of treatment.
>>
Ssri meds can work well, but for the love of God, do not fucking quit taking them without guidance from the doc. You need to stop slowly, over time. I was on lexapro and accidentally ran out so I didn't bother scheduling a new appointment for more. I got something called brain shivers about a week after running out, and if I had to do it all over again I don't think I would make it. They didn't go away for two weeks.

Tldr; anti depressants work but don't go off of them suddenly.

Literally no one here can explain this to you or give you insight as to what happened. You need to fight for the job. Go to the store tomorrow, ask to speak to the manager, and tell them you would like clarification on the situation.
>>
>>17103461
And how exactly am I supposed to ask what happened?

"Hey, your manager said I got a job after an interview, but within hours I was someone in the running for another job and I was told that I was not in the running for any of the jobs. What the fuck's going on?" They'll probably just hang up.
>>
>>17103460
>>17103461
I agree.

You should go back there and ask for clarification. It may have very well been an error on their part.

And if it's true, then ask what could have been done better on your part.

Although I know I don't have to tell you this, don't be rude. By going back there and asking what went wrong you gain three things:

1) The confirmation that you did or did not get the job
2) Advice for future job applications
3) A better image of yourself to employers

An employee who fights for their position is one who wants their position. And to employers, that's a good quality. Just don't be rude about it though.

I like a girl

what casual compliments are socially acceptable for a guy to say to a girl in a group of friends?

example:
> girl shows you a picture of her that she got done professionally
Should I say she looks pretty? cute? good?

> is it ok to casually say that a girl looks cute/ pretty/ whatever without any provocation?

what about if you are in a group of friends?

for the sake of the argument assume that I'm attractive, she's attractive, and that there is some sort of undeveloped mutual attraction between us

You can totally compliment her. She'll probably like it. Just don't be creepy.
>>
>>17103470
how do I not be creepy? what compliments are good?

what am I supposed to do?
>>
Yeah it´s ok if you compliment her my friends do it all the time and i don´t find it weird.

If you want to get your point straight, that you like her, you mght have to say it without any provocation, she will probably understand what is going on if you say it a few times.

just don´t be creepy (best way: only say "oh anon you look pretty today" and that´s it, then if she wears a nice shirt other day compliment her, etc)

the guy i am going out now pretty much just flirted with me this way for a while really.

You wont find a gf in a bar op, even if youre lucky to get a phone number 80% of girls that goes to bars to chat with strangers are hoes and single mothers, fucking tv movies have made our kids believe that they can go on to a bar like they are fucking Charlie Sheen and get pussy

Ir you are a neet and cant find a way to relate with other human beings then go in omegle and talk to some girls, its like goin to a bar anyway

Hey so I put alot of effort in at a new school and nobody wants to be my friend. I'm helpful in class and people always give me compliments for some reason

But none of them want to be my friend? I messaged 3 guys and 3 girls on my friend list in class a few days ago and none of them replied.

Join a club and find people with similar interests as you. Otherwise just joke around and try to maintain a good attitude and be open with people. It is hard but it's worth trying

>>17103417
I tried!

I applied to every club in the university even the religious ones!

The only one that accepted me was Kendo that I actually want to try starts in August.

does anyone have any experience with mental illnesses or personality disorders?

I don't suffer from any mental illness, but I've been around people who have expressed symptoms of certain illnesses. I've been around a few people who take anti depressants and ADHD meds but I don't think those qualify as mental illness, just an impairment maybe.

Why do you ask?

Computer systems or electrical engineering? At the university I'm going to attend next year, they're separate but dual degrees seems easily doable. However, a quick search on say, monster, yields 100+ jobs for computer engineering while ee yielded a measly 60.

What do to anons.

So you searched for jobs in your area. That doesn't mean shit.

EE will provide you a broader, more marketable skillset. You can work in literally ANY industry. Narrowing it down to just a computer focus still affords you many opportunities, but it's a highly saturated market and you will likely end up at some shithole corporation that has you churning out code like a monkey.

Uh....Steele Reserve?

That's the cheapest I know, but man, it does not taste good. Some people like it, though.

Get Sparks or 4 Loko. High alcohol, cheap, and tastes good going down. Make sure to have water available as they can upset some people's stomachs if drank to quickly.

If you find a woman who will drink Steel Reserve 211s she is an alcoholic.

Ok, this has nothing to do with love or shit so listen up.
My teenage son is a history and politics whiz. He goes to debate and Model UN and owns the competition. He's super diplomatic and even slimy as fuck in some cases. Issue is: he's a minor so he's kinda fucked on doing actual things.

Basically he needs to at least get something of significance done or else Mom's going to pressure him to do pharmacy. (which he's good at btw)

Also one more thing: he's a super liberal, but not SJW. He says he's a economic radical and social moderate and so SJWs actually hate his guts apparently. I'm moderate af and don't really give a fuck so I have no clue how I want to support him. Should he just volunteer ham with the Dems or should he try weird ass third parties to get a name for himself?
>inb4 cuck for kid
Supporting your kids is nice, especially when they're respectful about my beliefs.
>inb4 commie scum
He's in the USA I don't know how far he can realistically go left. I think he understands this though.

>>17103242
He's a teenager. If he volunteers for any campaign he'll spend all his time licking envelopes. No matter now brilliant daddy thinks he is, he's not going to become a trusted advisor to the President.

Yet.

Let him work for a local candidate he admires, just for the experience, and as long as it doesn't interfere with school.

Let him finish school and go to college and maybe law school, and THEN start thinking about politics. Between now and then he is likely to change is academic interests and career plans a dozen times.

I am crushing very hard on a woman at work, but she has a boyfriend. We talk during the day despite no direct need to.

She seems like me at least as a friend.

What does adv think are the odds that she would leave her BF for me? Theyve been dating for a year.

Obviously something like this is case by case but what is your experience?

you dont want to be with someone that has a character trait of being willing to leave a relationship for someone else when there are no problems in the relationship
that means she will eventually do it to you

what you can do however is stick around and if she breaks up with her boyfriend you can swoop in

that's what I'm doing. Playing the long game

Are you comfortable with people crying around you?

Are you comfortable being the only person in the room with a crying person?

My roommate cries often. She's under a lot of stress at school and life in general, but the smallest thing sets her off. She once thought our fridge was broken and cried about it. I hate being the one who has to console her.

I was cooking this morning for breakfast and she walks in the kitchen telling me how bad her night as last nigh. I could feel the tension and she was about to cry so I nope'd it out of the kitchen with my food.

Am I a bad person for not liking when people cry?

depends on the context but generally sure.

>being the only person in the room with a crying person

see above.

>my roommate cries
>often

i see the issue. yeah constant criers can be hard to deal with cuz you can only be SO supportive before your life is about coddling them. if you care about a person and know theres an end thats okay. but if not and you arent willing to take care of em long term you can feel selfish, wehn in reality you just want yourl ife back.

ive been crying a lot too to be honest.
>>
>>17103211

Well seeing how I am the only other person in this thread, I'm going to have to ask you to stop because it is making me uncomfortable.


Kidding. I just get anxious and stressed around people who cry. I think the worst experience I've had with someone crying was when my mom started sobbing while driving me on a winding mountain road. I was scared for my life.
>>
>>17103230

woof that does sound a bit scary. i dont blame oyu for wanting out cuz shes being triggered by nonsense and there doesnt seem to be an end in sight. suggest therapy to her.

I shitpost and samefag a lot on this board. It's like a fucked up hobby. I like to write, especially "in character." I mean, I would feel terrible if anyone thought I was being completely serious. I'm not, even when I'm posting some serious shit. You know? There's always an element of play in it for me.
Is this totally normal/okay or is this bad? I'm relatively new here I guess.

As in you do that whilst responding to other people's desire for advice, or you do it whilst 'seeking' advice?
>>
Sometimes people say shit they don't mean. But they don't say shit they aren't thinking. My advice is to spend some time learning about the actual people you emulate. Maybe even spend some time around them, if you can do it safely. Then decide if these are really people you want to be associated with, even in jest.

And please: don't do this on /adv/. The people who come to ask questions are hurting, and running so low on answers that they're resorting to 4chan of all places. Hell; most of the people who come to answer questions are also hurting, and running so low on answers that they'd come to 4chan of all places. Save the trolling for places people go when they aren't so vulnerable.
