So the other day I went to Wal-mart with my girlfriend, and we went about business as usual, but all of a sudden I got spooked. There were a lot of people down an aisle we went, and I just froze up, got super tense, and could actually feel myself beginning to panic. I felt like I was a massive inconvenience being in peoples' way, and that I was taking up too much space. No one said anything or gave me a dirty look, nothing. It didn't go away until we left. I don't have a history of social anxiety or anything like that, and I've been anxious in general and kind of depressed for a while now but haven't scraped together the will or the funds to start seeing a therapist. Is this just some new manifestation of what's clearly like, mental illness? Should I just stop freaking out about it?
There was an alien nearby throwing out a psychic deflector net.

It's a kind of one-off claustrophobia, a sense of being trapped. It is most likely not real claustrophobia, but a product of some other anxiety or pressure.
I know someone who is totally sane, He has a very intense job, and when he's under real pressure at work, he has moments like yours somewhere else.
In a way it's healthy, and a bit like dreaming. Dreams are a safe way for your brain to get rid of its crap. An attack like this gets all the anxiety out of your system in one big go, and in a relatively safe place.
Bf and I were talking possible children. I am not against one kid, maybe two, but no more than that. I also do not want to quit working because of them. I don't care for a career but I still like my job and all the money it brings me, and I absolutely refuse to give it up for anything. I'm the child of a working mother myself.
However, he wants me to stay home instead. We've fought over this. I've thrown it in his face if he attempts to force me to quit my job I will dump him because I want to be with someone who loves me and respects me, and if he tries not to let me keep doing something very important to me, then he does not love me and respect me. Everything he's said about love, etc. was a lie to deceive me and he deserves the worst of deaths.
So he's begrudginly accepted this, but I've heard in the news about too many men who were seemingly okay and then suddenly snapped and killed their partner brutally. Even moving out didn't help as they stalked their partners and then brutally murdered them at first opportunity. What signs should I look out for so I can respond timely to a possible attack?

Weak b8 m8. Saged and reported.
I can't get ahead in life at all. Things always look up then suddenly crash down. Here's the situation I'm dealing with right now.
>got my first full time job and at it for a year now
>looking at buying myself a condo because fuck renting
>also looking into a technical school so I can move up from my low teens and hour job
>turned out some manager made a complaint about me to HR and they spent a week working on getting me fired
>they threw down the write up saying I'd be suspended pending termination because manager said he saw my phone a week ago
>was allowed quit on my own will to avoid a termination on my record
>offer on the condo was accepted today and the seller's told me they specifically liked me
>supposed to sign and seal the deal tomorrow
This is so unfucking believable. I'm semi confident I can find another full time job quickly, but my mortgage lender will most likely find out I quit my job yesterday and my deal will completely fall through. Going to be stuck as a min wage slave again, continuing to rent and throw away my money. I'm mostly just fuming but any advice would be appreciated.
>>16797778
maybe if you didnt use your phone at work you wouldnt get fired.
See, you cannot blame anyone else then yourself.
Yeah it's unlucky that they saw you, but you still broke the rules.
>>16797782
I didn't have it or he would have told my supervisor or me directly.
-22
-NEET
-spent last 5 years on art, but I've been too depressed or lazy to put in a real effort
-socially awkward
-hard to maintain eye contact
-Dress like a slob
-eat like a slob
-acne
-considers suicide every day
So close to doing it. Considering trade school for medical assisting/pursuing a job in the meantime to pay for said education/etc.
Just hard to find happiness or structure/routine.
>>16797773
>NEET
Get a job. Right now. Any fucking job, even a shitty ass McDonalds one
>Dress/Eat like a slob
Stop that. It will help you by a mile.
>Acne
Nobody cares but you
These need to be done, other stuff can wait.
>>16797788
Thanks, anon!
Though,-
My experience is almost nothing (a few months at a shop as a temp help.)
Ideally want to do a cleaning service job (cleaning houses/offices, etc) but like said, I'll shoot out my resume anywhere I may qualify. is a cover letter even worth it, though? I would say I can write well in essay context.
>>16797773
im not going to pretend like you'll take any advice on the other 'issues' you have, but as far as acne goes, i managed to manage mine.
>tretinoin in the morning
>salicylic acne wash in the shower
>erythromicin at night
>moisturizer as needed (especially after a shower)
tretinoin is a prescription cream you can rub on your face, it peels the skin fast, basically killing acne.
salicylic acne wash is pretty generic, geti t at rite aid or most any store that sells soap. it dries out the face hella hard, getting rid of any oils that cause acne.
moisturizer should be something without a scent. i use aveeno naturals with sunblock.
erythromicin is prescription anti biotics you rub directly on your face. do it at night. kilsl the bacteria that cuases acne.
pic related is me. acne comes and goes but they are more manageable and i can still get laid, etc.
i recently switched over to accutane and its great so far. after 5 months of use i may never get acne again. wish me luck

alright /adv, what do next? I really want to ask her to do something some time this weekend, but i dont want to feel pushy. Robot says stay in room and just text her, but beta me says just do it (reference intended). Do i wait or go for it?
>>16797772
Talk a little more I say then plan something out for next Friday or next weekend
>>16797781
What do you suggest for next friday/the weekend then? cause im outa ideas
>>16797803
Where do you live?
Is going iron grip a good way to condition myself to last longer in bed?
>>16797757
how long do you last usually?
>>16797757
No, it's a good way to give yourself ed.
>>16797757
Just double wrap.
Seem to have torn a small part of the underside of my tongue. What should I do? Picture in next post because I'm ugly and I'd rather spare /adv/
The little red part in front of my teeth
It's not the frenulum, just to be clear. It should heal fine, probably, right? Should I cut the dangly part off?
>>16797795
Looks like something called plica fimbriata. Residual tissue that just kind of hangs around instead of falling off/reabsorbing like normal.
Not normally vascular, so bleeding shouldn't be too bad if you do decide to cut it off.
***BUT if you choose to cut it off, you really need to sterilize whatever tool you use to do it. Infections are a bitch. Not fun.
I just snorted 15 mg of focalin. Have more should I snort it? Thanks
>>16797743
Half a cup then hang yerself feggot
>>16797743
No, you could die. Focalin can speed up your heart and cause an arrhythmia which could literally kill you. Normal maximum dose of focalin is 20 mg/day (2x 10mg daily). And it's usually enterically coated or in a capsule designed for slow-release. So you could already be fucked bc it's all going to hit your system at the same time.
I was around second hand weed smoke in my friends car 2 days ago will I fail a urine test?
>>16797741
yep, sorry
>>16797742
To clarify, the windows were open but I smelled it a few times, I've been high before and I didn't feel high at all from being in the car (it was only about 10 minutes)
>>16797741
When is the test? Did he hotbox it, or were the windows down?
I think it can tell the difference between someone who smokes, and someone who is around someone who smokes, but I'm not exactly sure. You should drink a lot of water every day until the test, just in case.
Is there something wrong with me? I have a real problem with talking to people I either don't know or have only just met. After I've known someone for awhile it's fine but before I've really gotten used to being around that person I just can't think of anything to say and I end up stuttering and looking like an idiot. What can I say or ask to not seem like I have severe brain damage?
Ya you're autistic end of discussion go to Hitler and get help he got over his problems with Jews you should do that too.
>>16797708
what is this /b/?
>>16797712
I know right xD some people
I need to lose 100 lbs. I have 2 months to go balls to the wall and for the rest of the year I can only diet and minor workout
Wrong board, /fit is going to grind you.
(But in all seriousness: 100 pounds, in 8 weeks? Huehuehue. I am not gonna say it's impossible, but you will hate the next weeks, trust me).
>>16797694
Go to /fit/ and read the sticky. That's really all you gotta do.
>>16797694
You can't lose 100 lbs in 2 months. Your body isn't designed to lose more than 2lbs per day. 60lbs is the best you can expect and that's with an extreme work out and strict diet.
Realistically, you could probably drop 100 in 4 months, but that'd be tough too.

Finishing high school is a good time to think about career paths. Your teacher's been your bro up to now, but that phase of your life is ending soon.
Look for something with a good working environment, high pay, low stress, and solid future prospects. Right now, a field like carpentry fits the bill.
>>16797686
OP here, Thanks for the input. I'm essentially trying to do just that, but instead shape my future with my interests.
>>16797692
It's a confusing time, with a lot of major decisions that you're forced to make with very incomplete information. Find a career that gives you fulfilment and room for future growth, and you're way ahead of the curve.
hi /adv/
i'm taking shrooms tomorrow and i'm somewhat nervous. i'm going to be with a group of people i'm pretty comfortable around but theyre not like my best friends or anything, also it will be a first time for all of us (there will be 6 of us)
i've done acid a number of times and i've even had bad trips but still felt very in control of the situation, not paranoid or schizo at all
i guess my question is, are shrooms easier on you than lsd? if i can handle lsd without any issues, will i be fine on shrooms?
You'll be fine
>>16797662
First off, all I've done is weed, alcohol, cigs, etc
With that said, 6 newbies at once sounds dumb af. Also, based on my own research, I've heard that LSD feels like being in the cockpit of a rocket whereas shrooms feel like being strapped to the back of one.
Not trying to freak you out, but you may want to reconsider and save your share for a smaller group. Holding off and sober sitting for your friends would be kind to yourself and them.
Again, based on my research, psychs need to be done in a carefully controlled environment. Obviously not so controlled that it feels sterile. That would detract from some of the fun. I'm just saying that it's important to assess yourself going in, minimize risks, safety precautions, etc.
Here's a sex analogy for you:
>alcohol = oral (sloppy and fun)
>weed = sex (euphoric, fun, etc)
>psychs = anal (lots of romantic prep)
Really having a moral dilemma I met a girl who is 17 and we hit it off great. But I am turning 20 next month. I respect her and am not using her for sex but should it happen then hey it happens. But I just want to hear everyone's take on it because I am afraid that I will be branded as some type of chomo but this girl is mature beyond her years and I see more than sex from her soo thought? Pic related thas her
>>16797652
Yeah she cute and all but like, fo real bro, I'mma give you a tip. You gotta be getting out there on those 26 27 year olds man go fuck them 30 year old bitches yo trust me you want some of that, they make this bitch look like she 12 years old for real man. do it
Also you's a dumb shit for posting her picture on 4ourchan man. don't be lie that man
>>16797658
Haha sounds like great advice. But how does one even begin to find women +5 years who are willing
>i try to convince my gf to send me nudes via snapchat
>i promise her i won't screenshot them

>later that night we're casually talking on the phone

>"what"
>not like you would have been THAT mad if i did, you'd let me get away with him
>"are you serious"
>i ask her what she would have done if i did
>she said she'd cut all contact off with me and leave me
>shes angry that i said that i regret not screenshotting them
>i say "don't leave me, i don't know what i'd do without you" because its true
>conversation continues, she goes to bed after awhile
today she's still dwelling on what i said and i think shes crying
on a scale of 1-10 how much did i fuck up?
>>16797602
you'd let me get away with it*
>>16797602

Shes taking a compliment and turning it into an imagined slight for drama. Your dating a retard op
>>16797602
I'd say you did pretty much nothing wrong bruh. My ex sent me nudes on a fairly regular basis, nudes which I'd tell her about fapping to. Then again I'm drunk, and I just spilled scotch all over my shirt, so I don't know how much you should trust my advice right now.
