Depression is eating me up and my anxiety is off the charts. I start my new semester in college and I'm afraid of running into someone who hurt me badly since we attend the same college. Should I start smoking cigarettes? Just to calm me down.

As a recent cig addict I would suggest that you find something other than nicotine to get addicted to. Once your brain gets enough of it you will want it for the rest of your life.

Everybody always told me that I'm more than good at writing (not in english as you will maybe point out). Many people find me the smart, creative, artistic type and some assumed I was gonna become an artist of some type. I feel like people expect more of me than what I'm doing today, but maybe it's also my inner voice.

The thing is while I'd love the idea of earning a living writing stories or something, I have absolutely no natural desire to work for it.

Worst is every minute I manage to sit a my desk to write I only wish to play videogames or watch dumb shit online instead.

On one hand I have this idea that you got to have some passion to try this sort of thing and I don't see the point of doing it as a chore.

On the other hand I don't like the idea of possibly wasted potential and I have some depressive symptoms that could explain this laziness.

>tl,dr : What to do if you may have the skills to accomplish something great many passionate people try to do, but absolutely no motivation to work for it ?

A friend of mine has been abused by a man since she was young. She has a form of Stockholm Syndrome and won't tell me any information about him. Recently he stayed in the same hotel as her at the same time, and I think that's enough information to start looking for him. Problem is, I'd need access to the hotel's private guest information. I'm not good with computers or social engineering, but I refuse to just sit here while that man goes free. Does anyone have any ideas? I'd appreciate it.

Ask the hotel if they know anything, or maybe, i dunno, get the police involved?

I've hit complete rock bottom. I'm living in a one horse town on a Walmart-job and a GED. I keep looking forlornly at FAFSA applications that I can't fill out because my recently divorced and heinously evil ex-wife took all my documents when she left the state with her new lover. Haven't seen anything on my credit score, so I'm pretty sure she just took them as a final middle finger. Anyway. I have no car. I have nothing but clothes and my ID and a bank account. I've got about 450 saved towards a car, but that's laughable, though the coming paycheck will see me with about 1100 in hand or so. I've been stuck here with my mother for about 9-10 months now because it took a bit of time to find a job I could get to without a car. I'm stranded, and basically helpless and clueless due to a very long 8 year relationship in which I was essentially treated like a pet because it was either her, or my family. So, as you can imagine, tensions are quite high. I just don't know if I should focus on finding a local apartment or a car first. And whether school is far distant, or something that can happen soon.

The most important thing you can do is not make the same mistakes with women again. do not repeat the cycle.

Don't get married, for a start. Secondly, never put yourself second to a woman. Never sacrifice your life and your goals to supplicate her.

Don't kill yourself, this will pass. I'm only saying this because getting a divorce is probably the most horrific thing a man can go through and something like 10 men kill themselves for every woman.

Your life isn't over.

Told my best friend I super liked her and she said the same, but she told me now wasn't the right time. That was two months ago.

The few times we've seen each other, she's got real cute and feely with me but she's been wasted. I keep saying compliments and shit when she's sober but she doesn't respond to it at all, pretty much ignores it.

Now for the last month or so she's been "busy" every day and won't see me, but we talk all the time.

It's really starting to hurt and feel like she was just playing me/was too afraid to reject me. What do I do or say? If she claims to be busy this week too I'm just going to throw in the towel and let it go.

She's not ready mate.
She probably sees you as a person to get married to but doesn't want to settle down yet.

Best thing to do is to STOP complimenting her and making her feel good. Instead go do crazy things with her and get it all out of her system. Sooner or later after a long day of fun after many times of doing it, you'll make the best love in your life and bust the greatest of nuts.

Good luck.

She drank with you, shows how she wants to go on more or less "destructive" behavior. Next up, go to concerts together then para sailing or something and after which hit the big one every girl loves...traveling.

BUT DO NOT COMPLIMENT HER. Talk about your lives and how you are but for god sakes DO NOT mention it again. She will let it out once she's ready. Don't sperg out on it either.

Smoked yesterday and had some sort of negative experience which I'm not sure how concerned about it I should be. Pretty much it was extremely hard to move, and I felt my whole body vibrating/ pulsating. I couldn't feel my heart beat, but when I focused really hard on it I noticed that it was beating extremely fast. Was sweating and all my muscles were very clenched up, felt like I could feel every nerve impulse. Was shaking a decent amount, but the kind of shakes that weren't noticeable if you looked. Also felt pretty anxious during it.

Almost seemed like I had a seizure, but maybe I was just flipping out over nothing. Anyone have any ideas/ similar stories?

You were body-tripping hard

It's not unusual

You can faint from it if you get bad vibes or are on your feet

More common when you are sleep-deprived or haven't eaten enough or is dehydrated or in combination with alcohol

how much does it cost to get effective treatment of mild gum disease in the UK under NHS? im pretty sure its not free, but i havent had the money to pay for that shit until recently, and im getting concerned about the degree to which the gum around one of my teeth is receding. also, can receding gum problems be reversed? id like my gums to cover the same amount of tooth they used to, but i dont know shit about this desu. any other advice on dealing with this shit would be appreciated too.

pic related, its more or less the same stage im at in terms of gum recession.

From what I remember, gums can recover somewhat, but it depends on what has caused the recession. Smoking based recession is resistant to recovery, for example. How did it happen?

If you go to your doctor, lay on the emotions thick. Say it is harming your life, you feel depressed, hopeless, and is effecting your confidence and ability to form relationships. There was a girl at my school who had small tits and she said it gave her anxiety and depression so she got a boob job on the NHS. I used to have gyno and I got it done on the NHS by saying it caused me problems in with girls and depression.

basically during my teen years i had 0 personal hygeine, and i still skip on brushing my teeth some days. smoked one cigarette in my entire life, its purely down to years of bad hygeine. also the way my teeth grew kinda gave me fangs, which can make it really fucking hard to clean all the tooth while brushing.

Get a fuck ton of mouthwash and rinse three times a day every day until that bottle is done. Take before and after photos and some progression shots to see if it gets better. If it does not improve, go to a dentist.

I've been told for a long time that "faking it until you make it" is key if you want to build confidence. Well I've been doing that for 3 years now, started lifting weights for the same time, tried to fix my stutter, and just generally faking my entire demeanor.

None of it has made any difference. I still feel like the fat wimpy kid I was in grade school. I'm so tired of trying to make this whole "being a decent person" work.

How did you guys build your confidence? Did you have it from birth or did faking it until you made it work?

Nobody is born a man. Men are made, not born.

That said, there are a few things that can hold you back. I also had this exact situation in my life, and I only started to make real progress when I realised that I had a neurochemical problem. Specifically, low dopamine.

You might have some form of addiction your life which is downregulating dopamine - for me it was video games, pornography, and an extreme sensitivity to caffeine. Alternatively, you might have some sort of mental illness or trauma that is affecting your confidence on a subconscious level, and this needs ironing out. That could also find its root in a neurochemical imbalance.

The good news is, when you finally fix your brain, you'll make incredible fast progress - because you've done all the mental work and studying how to be successful, you just haven't been able to apply it. Everything will click into place very quickly.

Use this as a learning experience. People have confidence because they know how to act in these situations. So learn a bit of what to do, and if things work out well or not you will have learned something to use for next time.
>>
Yeah OP dont worry, most people suck at everything first time, you probably wont be that bad anyway but even if you are you got to learn.

Dont be afraid of familiar, thats the first step towards being afraid to live.

Hi /adv/,

I don't know what to do at the moment, perhaps you can help out. Since a couple of years, I guess a year or 5, perhaps 10. I have these flashes of things I did in the morning.

It sometimes are minor things, like that I lied about something and almost got caught. Sometimes that I almost killed myself, accidentally btw. I am not suicidal. Or that I was in a fight. Sometimes more serious stuff. Betrayal and such. Sometimes also things from other people. But usually it are just minor stupid things.

It is like a train of memory, but one that hurt almost physically. I also get them in the evening. Best thing I can do is just let it go and wait until it stops, but it isn't pleasant.

Since I have children, they got worse. I am behaving much better now then in the past. Always on the correct side of morality, however it keeps coming. I tried to get help from a psych, but it didn't help, when I try to talk, nothing comes out. I have a very secretive nature. My speech just blocks.

It is driving me to drugs usage, just to shut it out. What should I do?

As a 27 year old, I have had this feeling pretty much every weekend. It's part of the neurochemical imbalance in your brain after a night of drinking, known as "The Fear". It's causes by low dopamine (causing low self-esteem and anxiety) along with GABA imbalances. Lack of sleep also lowers dopamine and makes you feel shit.

it's almost never as bad as you make it out to be.

bet my life savings you don't feel half as bad about it after a fresh sleep tomorrow morning.

One mistake I used to make was to message the people I was out with the night prior, sort of covertly seeking reassurance. This is a mistake. Let it pass and act like nothing happened. People do forget things.

I like to read some of the Experiences reports on erowid.com of people having terrible and embarrassing drug experiences in public and at parties, it makes me feel better.

It's okay anon, you were just drunk, they probably don't think any less of you because you did something dumb under the influence of alcohol. I'm sure your new friends are looking forward to seeing you soon!

I love my friend and all but lately something feels off. I was dating a guy a while back and she HATED him... yet a lot of people didnt like him. One time when I stayed over she let my other friends have a bed but she left us to sleep on the floor. I broke up with that guy and i've met someone else. We aren't really dating but he is overall pretty nice. Opens doors, keeps a conversation going, gets stuff for people. I took him to my friends place and he even brought food and drinks for them. It seemed like everyone liked him. I asked my friend if I should bring him over again and she was like sure. So we got it all set up to hangout again and my friend was like its too bad you already asked because my family doesnt like him...I was like why? and she was like I dont know. Now she is being all passive aggressive. Is there something with these guys that I cant see? I dont even feel comfortable going now because I somehow feel like a fuckup.

I work about 50 hours a week even though I don't have too. I still live with parents and I'm paying my school and ranking the dough. Though I see all my friends living life and having fun. Am I working to much ? Am I forgetting to enjoy my life. I enjoy my job (line cook) but maybe I'm missing out? I'm only 18.
