>smoked a medium-large joint last night without much of a tolerance
>caused: anxiety, social anxiety, disturbing delusions, paranoia, (probably) psychosis, fast heart rate
>back to 'normal' today and actually feel really good for some reason
>despite feeling really good today, I skipped dinner last night because of the high
I've had pretty nasty anxiety and social anxiety for the past 3 years or so (marijuana use exacerbated my anxiety). I'm just wondering if there are any long-term effects of acute marijuana-induced psychosis...? I can't imagine that there aren't, and I'm afraid of what might happen if I spend too much time in those marijuana-induced states of psychosis.
I'm not sure if psychosis/delusions can occur in *anyone* if they smoke enough, but I'm hoping that was the cause for the last night as opposed to the marijuana heightening some dormant schizophrenic gene(s).
Just for fun:
>ex-girlfriend had a stroke when she was about 15; had to learn how to walk, talk, etc all over again
>2 weeks into dating she said, "I'm hungry for your soul" in a deep, raspy voice after mentioning skipping lunch
>gave her the benefit of the doubt despite concerns; strokes do weird shit to people, etc
>lost virginity to her
>2 weeks after the first incident she says, while drunk, "I ate my own soul" and "I ate part of your soul"
>broke up with her 2 days later
Last night, I felt like some sort of evil spirit was pinning me down (it was couch lock, but it was so intrusive that I wasn't able to override it). I also felt like an association between sex and her 'evilness' had ruined sex for me. I haven't had sex with anyone since her, but I'm pretty sure she fucked me up much more badly than I originally thought.

From everything you're saying here, it sounds like you should avoid drugs for a while.
I smoked weed pretty heavily for about six years, and every now and then I'd have a bad experience kind of like you described. Paranoia is definitely a potential side effect, there was one particularly bad night where I was actually convinced I was having a heart attack, which I think was a legit panic attack. (I quit shortly after.)
I don't think there have been any permanent effects on me, my mind/body kind of went through an "adjustment period" for the first two months or so without constant THC (I wouldn't call it withdrawal, but like a much milder version of withdrawal) But after a few months without smoking I felt pretty normal, it's been a few years, and I haven't ever had any anxiety/panic symptoms like I sometimes did with weed
It sounds like in your case, these conditions existed in some form before you ever did any drugs, so I really do think it's advisable for you to steer clear of drugs entirely. But I don't think you've done any real damage to yourself with the experiences you've had already. The effects of THC can linger in your system for weeks, so you're probably still feeling it a bit. Once you've detoxed fully I'm pretty sure you'll feel better.
Hey /adv/ I've posted here recently, basically I'm a bit of an airhead cellist. I play cello. All day. Its all I do. I used to spend my time playing video games but now all I do is play cello. I've gained weight from sitting down and playing so much because I eat too much (it takes some energy to do that all day, especially since the movement involves the use of the elbow not wrist, and one must sit upright so my abdomen and back are typically flexed).
Is there a way I can make money by doing this? I have crippling anxiety and take meds but sometimes its not enough. I just got a part time sales job and my parents are pushing me to go back to Uni this fall. I'm just scared and alone.
I don't know anything about the modern music industry, I just learned how to play and played away, my favorite being Bach Suites since I like to challenge myself by playing via memory. Hard, but I'm learning. One day I hope to do what Yo Yo Ma did, suites 1-3 small adjustment because different key to play in then suites 4-6.
TLDR how to make money by playing cello, enough to live by?

>TLDR how to make money by playing cello, enough to live by?
Be versatile. You likely won't get a job playing all of what you want, so you need to be able to play whatever is given to you. Audition for local symphonies, find groups looking for cellists, weddings, churches, studios, etc. you'll find lot's of shit.

I write music for string quartets. Not now, but I'll be wanting to contract musicians in the future to record my music. There are people like me out there.
Well, I don't have work for you right now, but I'm inclined to contact you anyway, just one of those intuition things. If you want to shoot the shit, hit me up:

Stuck between mechE and finance or econ at this point. I love math and have always wanted to be an engineer, but its losing its glamor at this point.
Im feeling very lost and would appreciate some help.

Go for MechE.
I was talking to some engineers, and they said that with a short time doing MechE, you could do any business/ econ stuff. If you switch to finance or econ, however, you'll likely never be able to go back to doing engineering.

Typo meant to say chemE with the oil price going down, tons of chemEs are getting laid off isnt that worrisome?

Oh wow, yeah. That's pretty bad..
How far along are you in studying chemE?

Good afternoon y'all.
I'm 21 and my dad has a pill problem. Usually an oxy/Xanax cocktail. Sometimes methadone. He's past trying to hide it. Doesn't seem to care to get better anymore.
I've tried every approach you can think of in efforts to get him to stop, besides calling the police. It's been 10 years since he's been sober. I've developed a pretty bad anxiety/panic disorder because of this.
Any advice on living with/dealing a drug addict? Mom is not in the picture btw, but I have a 16 y.o sister, she's aware of his problem and it effects her too.

What are his "side effects"?
And how did it effect you so bad to give you "anxiety/panic disorder" ??
Hey adv, I had a question
So me and a female friend are v close, but as of lately her reply times went from 1-2 min to 10-15 min sometimes even longer. When we talked a few months ago, we both asked each other to hangout and now, it's usually me asking. Irl, everything seems fine and her and I are going to prom together in a week. But over chat, she now seems a bit muted in contrast to how she used to be. This may be BC of school stress but I'm scared if it's not. What do ? Am I overthinking?

Not here to make you scared or anything OP but my girlfriend started doing the same exact thing and she broke up with me a little over a week later. If you two aren't already dating, you need to pop the question while you can, she might think you're being to slow with her.
>>
>>16907930
Well here's the thing.
She had told me a few month ago taht she doesn't want anyone liking her BC she's scared taht would ruin the friendship. I don't think I like her in that way and I don't want a relationship in case It ruins our current friendship
>>
Stop being her girl friend.

First time posting on /adv/. I'm 21 and want to ask out a qt girl in a Uni Class we both have. I'm about pretty sure she likes me or at least likes my company, but I never have 1 on 1 time with her. I have her number and Facebook (because we're in a group project for the semester with 3 other people) but I wanted to actually ask her out in person. I sit next to her in an auditorium with no breathing room so It's always packed and I don't want to get myself embarrassed if she says no. I was thinking whispering it in her ear after saying something like, "Can I ask you something?". She also leaves the class with her friends so I can't go with her after class to ask her. Any /adv/?

Do you ever talk to her in class normally? Just ask her if she wants to go get coffee after class. If she doesn't say yes, there's a 99.999% chance she'll make up an excuse which could be legit or not, but not flat out ignore you. Once you're 1 on 1 at the coffee shop you can get into details.

So I've had depression before and I've been medicated for it.
Lately I've been getting thoughts like "wow, life's pretty shitty. Might as well off myself"
Their small thoughts without much planning. I don't think too much about it but I know these thoughts will just grow from here.
I really don't want to get back on meds because it took me forever to get off. My insurance won't cover a therapist, plus I don't have the time with school and work.
What are some things I can do to get rid of these thoughts?

When you use the wrong their/there/they're, I don't think you should get rid of those thoughts at all. Actually kill yourself.

Sorry that I'm starting another sex-related thread, but I've got a serious specific question that has been on my mind for a long time.
How do you make sure that a condom doesn't slip off, break or otherwise fail? What are the protips or extra safety measures to ensure that a condom doesn't fuck you over?
I am terribly, horribly paranoid of making a girl pregnant or causing her distress or insecurity, and looking forward to hearing whatever could make me more safe or confident.

Make sure things are well lubricated, as this prevents the condom from ripping.
If you use a lubricant, be sure it's water based; silicone based lubes degrade the latex in condoms.
Check the expiry date frequently, and before you buy them.
Don't skimp on brand. Buy Trojan or similar brand.
Buy the correct size. Condoms that are too loose pose the risk of falling off, or fluid exchange. Durex is known to be good for smaller dudes, and magnum for vice versa.
Don't keep them in your wallet or car! Risk of perforation, etc etc. Condoms should be stored in a cool, dry place; in a nightstand is perfect.
Hope this helps! as long as you use and store them properly, most are electronically tested for effectiveness. :)

/Adv/ice how do I set up my iphone to *only* display text messages and other alerts on the pull down menu in the lock screen?
I don't want text messages vibrating or my phone lighting up and showing "Name" on the lock screen. I also want there to be some way to check that I've received messages while my phone is locked.
Yes, this is to make it easier to fuck multiple women at the same time. It's gotten pretty awkward when my phone is blowing up with texts and calls while I'm balls deep in someone else. I would like to avoid that.

I wasn't raised religiously, though I was baptized at a Lutheran church (mostly for the sake of my grandparents) but I never attended church growing up. Recent events in my life have started me thinking that going to church on Sundays may not be a bad idea (a bad breakup, recent brush with death working, a few weeks in the hospital, lost my job because safety violation, had to move back in with parents, etc...) So, yeah. Maybe I need a bit of support or something to help me though all of this. My question is, what religion and what is it like joining as an adult? I'm Irish in the US and spend a lot of time hanging out with Catholics, so I'm leaning towards that, but I have no idea. Do you just walk in during Sunday mass? Is there a form I need to fill out? What is /adv/'s opinion about it?

Well you don't seem to even know what kind of church.
Yes, you just show up on time for Sunday service. Sit through the service. Did you enjoy it? Wait around and try to have a word with the pastor/priest/rabbi and explain your feelings, they will happily welcome you.
Didn't enjoy it? Try a different place next Sunday.
>>
My opinion is that adults don't join churches, babies do.
>>
It's now the age of the internet. Google the church you want to go to, from there you can just show up at the posted times.
How do you move somewhere like Miami if you have no skills or college

If you're eating healthy, and I mean no unnecessary sugars plus some forms of exercise, and you should have diarrhea, you might want to talk to a doctor. You might have some infection/something wrong with your intestines.
>>
Some people have a more sensitive stomach and can feel very fast if something is not healthy for them especially if you are not accustomed with the food or if the food has started to go bad. Same like >16907921 I advise you to see a doctor but try to see a doctor that will prescribe you a natural remedy.

>tfw 24 year old and have to ask parents for help with paying for college
I can't stop feeling shit about it. I know that they will have to take a loan (bank won't let me have one in my name) and I can't place the blame on high tuition fees since it's mostly my fault for being a piece of shit in highschool and getting low marks for any sort of eligibility for a grant.
What should I do? I'm finishing 1st year soon (managed to paid it with my own savings but almost ran out of money). Should I drop out or take some private loan from shady people?
I can't deal with the embarrassment of asking them for money in my age

It's an investment. If they can help, they will.
Try Financial aid from school
or better yet
take a year off and stack money money money
>>
>>16907777
First off, thanks for replying.
I know that they will help, it's just that it feels like I'm wronging them.
>>
>>16907772
If you don't mind the 8-year plan, you could go part time and work. Do you still live at home? If yes, you should have no problems paying off your school as the bill comes due. If not, see if they'll let you move back in, as that would help you without putting significant financial burden on them.
Keep it or get rid of it?
