Hi adv.
My biological survival mechanism is telling me to ask for help but I believe it needs be stopped. I've experienced more than my share of trauma that I try to overcome but its a losing fight and I can't stop it from continuing to happen unless I stop that instinct.
I'm not sure what to do. For the moment I am stable but I can see everything falling apart in front of me. This place is kind of shitty with short intervals of beauty that almost can convince you its not all bad. But in my short experience here its been predominantly dark and feel like I've gotten so used to it that my eyes can no longer make out the light.
Any advice?
Become a Sith. Survive using anger and hatred.

sound like mood swings. Maybe youre bipolar or something. Depression can cause that feeling too. Sometimes i feel like life is worth living but some other times i want to kill myself bc i cant see any hope in my future.

Get progressional help. Psychological and psychiatrical alike. It may be that your brain is not capable of feeling happiness like it used to. The world might be good, you've just for a really shitty filter permanently on. When it comes to wanting to die I always dismiss the thoughts using the same logic:
1. It permanently removes any chance of things getting better, even if you're religious usually suicide is a serious sin
2. If I got to the point where I cared so little about this world it would also be the point where I'd be truly free. The only thing I couldn't abandon is being fair towards people. So I will not start a killing spree or steal things but I might just as well take my bike and ride as far as I can, and then explore there, and so on and so forth. Being this desperate really opens many possibilities if you apply cold logic here.
I wish you luck anon. Seriously, see someone with a degree, he'll help you far more than us.
I can go to University of Chicago and get a higher education albeit I worry that it will be all work and no fun or I could go in-state to the University of Iowa on basically a free-ride with a somewhat good education and lots of fun.
What should I do / opinions?
Also:
In dorms where do you have sex with the opposite gender? UChicago doesn't separate dorms by gender, UIowa does. If I did go to UIowa where would that occur?
Is greek life necessary for a good time?
Is the college experience even worth it, and should I just ignore it completely and focus on my studies?

Did I get friendzoned or is this normal/fixable bros?

You already rejected her once, and even now it seems to be that you reach out due to desperation instead of genuine interest. If she has any shred of self-esteem, she is not gonna go for you.
What are some decent careers that I can get with 2 or less years of education?

Data Science. There's a package on Coursera from John Hopkins. It's got 10 courses on it. Do it. Doesn't cost much, you can apply for aid also. Start learning to code simultaneously and move on to Machine Learing etc
Hi /adv/ I'm in the process of narrowing down on a major to focus on and I've been looking at UCLA's Mathematics/Applied Science Major, with a concentration/plan aimed at Life Sciences. I realize it's not the full Math B.S experience, but I like the idea of combining the two in one degree and possibly use it to help me sharpen skills in mathematics and provide early exposure to life science in case I'd ever consider applying to medical school.
However my concern is possibly flexibility. Would a B.S in Mathematics + Biology Minor open more possibilities to various jobs even outside the medical field or would the Mathematics/Applied Science suffice as a good enough Math degree for any particular job as a back up plan?

So I'm 20 now, KHHV. And it's kinda bugging me that I haven't had sex with a woman. I think about it at least twice a day and when I'm in the shower. I'm too busy to even search for a woman and totally beta talking to stranger girls. My only female friends are from my school and I don't want to fuck my friends.
So the question is should I go see a hooker? and get it out of my chest once and for all?
Pros&Cons? Female perspective is appreciated too.
>>18590338
You're not going to feel any better afterwards. Can't you fuck one of your female friends' friends?
>>18590338
It won't change you. You'll still be too busy to meet girls and too scared to talk to them when you do.
Also, it will make you feel gross and like you've given up. Don't do it. 20 is not that old. Take these feelings as a wake up call that you need to try new things and meet new people.
Pros: You get to have sex
Cons: It still won't count because you can't tell you can't tell anybody about it.
Me and my girlfriends family just found out me and her are dating after 2 months her mother wanted us to not talk for a week its been 5 days she also told my parents that i want to kill myself and that my girlfriend said that we do noth talk to to each other about that kinda stuff but not since around a month ago I've been a nervous reck this whole time im extremely worried that she will hate me after this any advice

So, I would like to earn some more money, but my education will take like 3 more years and my job isn't going to pay a lot more at the moment.
Do you guys have any advice on making quick money within a (few) month(s)? Some things you tried that worked / didn't work?
Answers I'm not looking for:
>ask for raise
Tried it, might happen, but next year at the earliest.
>sell your stuff/butt
Not that desperate.
>invest in X, it's gonna be the next Bitcoin within weeks/months/years!

My boyfriend lost his job several months ago. Since then, he has progressively become more and more depressed. He seems to have lost the motivation for most things.
The job market here is pretty terrible, but I think if I he had one he would be in a better place? Hopefully? Maybe finishing his degree? I'm not sure... Doing his hobbies seems to not be helping anymore.
I've also been encouraging him to go to a counselor or something, but he just agrees then takes no action.
I feel really overwhelmed, but I want to help him. What do I do?
>>18590182
Send cv s with him and hope for best. Any kind of work is good for him, to keep him busy while hes searching for something better.I hope hes not desperatly in need of money because that might take a while. My father was 3 years unemployed and he was so depresive about not bringing any money in home, while my mother was earning and still earns 6x more then him.That made him feel useless and redundant while it was quite opposite since he took care of house and me and my brothers 24/7.He changed 10s of jobs untill he found very good one and now things are looking pretty nice.
So, I got myself in a pretty strange but not so bad situation.
I met this guy a few months earlier, later he moved in with us and became our flatmate, later one of my best friends. He is at least as fucked up in the head as me. We can tell everything to the other knowing we will understand and help each other.
Fast forward a bit, he found himself a girl, pretty good looking, petite body, really intelligent for her age and such. But I had others girls on my mind so I didn't care much.
After they started dating, I found out that the girl is totally into me. The signs were obvious so my friend also realised it.
About 3 weeks after, we started to pat and caress each other. I broke up with my gf a year ago but since I'm a sentimental and depressive faggot, it pretty much ruined everything, so some caress and such means a lot for me, and I always had a huge need to get fondness and care.
I couldn't hold it in and told it to my friend. I wasn't surprised but his reaction was pretty chill.
He was ready to share her with me.
I got really close with the girl, after a few days we started to make out, and finally had sex with her.
My friend is chill and understanding, we even make jokes about it and such.
But this is where my problem lies, sex.
I can get hard, but it goes soft after a few minutes, can't maintain it. She is really hot, totally my type, she is so tight I can barely fit two fingers. It is really fucking frustrating that I can't even satisfy her.
I tend to overthink things, and as I said I have a pretty fucked up mind and kinks. Since I broke up with my gf, I got into really weird and hardcore stuff. Maybe I can't even enjoy "normal" sex? It sometimes also happens when I'm beating the meat and it suddenly goes soft. I got really desperate, decided not to touch myself for days, so wish me luck.
I smoke btw, cigs and weed too. I was also high on MDMA on the first two tries, but was clear on the third.
Thanks for reading, this is my first post.

Viagra.
Should I put ice or salt on my mouth ulcers?
Salt. Wash your hands first. Also brush your teeth.
Por que no los dos?
Im 3 days into quitting cold-turkey 150mg Venlafaxine and 2mg Flupentixol.
I feel like I'm dying. What do?
Masturbate and sleep. Caffeine might help. If you get an urge and you can sleep, sleep. Basically indulge in typical healthy ways of inducing neurotransmitter pleasure to take a bit of the edge off. It won't work perfectly and you'll still have to power through it, but it helps.

Replace addiction with another addiction
Fapping to sleep would help -and remeber that you're a few days short from finally removing that toxic desire
