I am currently 18 and just graduated highschool. I tripped on a double dose of LSD a little more than a year ago, that was about 2 months before I tried weed for the first time and got a bad flashback, ever since I've been a little mentally unstable, have something called HPPD where I see "after-images", "Visual Snow" and flashing white lights in the dark. Also for a while my pupils were constantly unequal. Any advice? Similar stories? Hope? Thanks guys.

I have skype interview coming up and I'm freaking out. I don't know why, but I get super anxious when I'm not talking to someone in person. Even when I'm on the phone I panic. I will drive 45 min to your business just to ask a simple question. I honestly don't know why this fucks me up.

I don't drink coffee but mornings are honestly horrible for me. I try to get 7-8 hours of sleep but when I wake up, I still feel unrested and every morning I contemplate calling out of work just to sleep more.

I do do this weird thing where I deliberately wake myself up at like 3am every day so that I can say "Ah, still some time to sleep" then I go back to sleep until 7am when I am supposed to get up and eat breakfast. Lately though, I have just been laying in bed until 7:40am masturbating and then I get up and go to work without eating anything. I don't have time to eat if I don't get up until 7:40am

What can I do? I feel like shit and I feel horribly depressed if I don't wake myself up at 3am because when I sleep a full 8 hours, when I wake up, it feels like I only blinked and didn't sleep. I need that moment of "Ah, I can go back to sleep."

Am I fucking crazy? Is coffee really the end all be all? As in, if you aren't drinking coffee, you will forever feel like shit in the mornings? I hate the idea of having to live on a crutch.

I feel as though my "soul" is rapidly emptying. I don't find enjoyment in a lot of things I used to enjoy, and haven't found anything new to enjoy.

I used to like to cook. Last summer, I made a whole bunch of different dishes, really trying my hand at everything I could. This summer, I've barely cooked, and what I have cooked, is the barest of the basics. Every other day is either canned beans and tomatoes, or mushrooms. I've eaten maybe a grand total of 4 unique vegetables.

I used to play more video games. Used to read more books, watch more movies and shows, draw more, listen to more music, work out more.

It's just that my body/mind doesn't feel "rewarded" anymore. I find the process of doing something to be too strenuous. I wanted to try and make meatloaf yesterday but ultimately just warmed up a sausage, beans, and called it a day.

What do I do? It's been going on for months.

Not sure if this is the right board but regardless I'm looking for a rap video I can't remember the artist or any of the lyrics which makes this hard but I do vividly remember the video, it starts with 3 guys rolling up to a house inside a car it then cuts to them talking and then they enter the house, I believe right after a cop comes out of a car the previous car had bumped into and he enters the house, the scene then cuts into the house and at one point there are people playing a card game and 2 people fall through a wall, I also remember after the first part theres some sort of break where a kid and a older person are dancing to some song (once again I can't remember it) and then it cuts back to the song before. I remember at the end of it the guys in the car get arrested. If anyone could tell me what the song or video was called that would be great.

My friend is a regular smoker and has a drug test coming up soon for a job. He's a NEET and I really want to see him break out and start growing up, so I'm willing to give him my piss as I don't smoke pot. What's the best way to go about this without getting caught?

I want to travel abroad to Japan. For the first time in my life I have a job that gives me vacation time.
I have a few thousand saved up and could easily afford a trip there, I think. I haven't done all the math for the trip, but going on a rough guess. That said I have 2 weeks vacation left. One of which is the week after next.
Should I push it off and plan a trip in the fall or maybe plan for sometime next year? The goal is to get to Japan before the end of 2018. I've never been out of the country before either. I feel I'd want to spend 2 weeks abroad, rather than 1, thus I'd need to push my current break off.
Anyone have any experience doing something like this?
Should I just take the week break and plan further out for next year? Would a semi-spontaneous trip even be worth it?

Hey, /adv/. As the title says, I'm interesting in learning some form of self defense but I'm not really sure where to start. There's a lot out there and most of them seem geared toward the would-be MMA fighter fan.

Was hoping for some guidance/direction. Thanks

Dear /adv/

I have a fancy job where I design home theater projects and setups. Basically a sales job, but more than that, we pick out the audio and video equipment and have our own team to install everything. Its a premium store with tvs that go up to 110k, the lowest end tv down to about 800$. We have 22k speakers, we regularly do jobs that are around 8-40k. Sometimes we'll get a big 80-200k job.

Anyways, I'm helping this nice old lady with her home theater setup. I'm newly trained, just got on the sales floor about a month ago. I setup an install for her and thought I had everything covered but I forgot cables she needed.

So the install team is waiting there at the jobsite and I go to my store and purchase some cables from our sister company(not as good as our cables but we needed a specific size). I did this to speed up the install since it was my mistake. I got an employee discount where the cables would normally cost 60$ they cost 7$. Three cables, so we're looking at a savings of about 160$ after it's all said and done.

I go to the site and tell her the great news. "I was able to save you money on the cables since it was my fault, there is no charge for the cables". If I had sold her cables from my store it would have cost her around 300$.

After a moment of talking to my install guys she pulls me aside and says she doesn't feel right paying that amount cause it feels like she is stealing. I tell her its no big deal and this happens often and we're all about customer service. After a lot of back and forth (NO YOU TAKE THE MONEY) she hands me a check for the difference as if she paid for the cables herself (20 in cash[my own pocket money], 160 check).

I go to my install guys and ask them what I should do. I originally wanted to just hand it to my boss and let him figure it out. The install guys say not to do that because chances are my boss will pocket it or the money will go to the store itself (not our sister company), so that would be pointless.

Does /adv/ have any recommendations for sleeping during the day? I've tried sleeping pills and melatonin supplements, but they just make me feel like complete shit when I wake up.

I'm gay but I find the vast majority of gays to be absolutely degenerate.
I find the feminization of men to be disgusting, and homosexual males to be some of the primary proponents and "victims" of this trend.
There are very few gay males who actually resemble anything like a male.
Very few who exhibit bravery, strength, pride, and forcefulness.
Anyone who'd ever sleep with me has a giant dildo attached to their head and is wearing a thong.
I'm going to be literally forever alone. How do I cope with this?
nb4 muh grindr because everyone on there is repulsive as well.
