Any experience with antidepressants? Been struggling on and off to live for the past 3 years. Did they work for you?
I've been off and on antidepressants for 16 years. At first, I was diagnosed with clinical depression, eventually resulting into a bipolar 2 diagnosis. Honestly, 90% of them don't work. The ones that do, are minimal effectiveness if any. What worked for me before my episodes of psychosis, eating healthy, working out, and having a hobby you enjoy.

SSRI's are evil. They made me so stupid I couldn't even form a rational sentence. Have you thought about taking some herbal supplements. Same-e, st johns wort, kava kava, DLPA.
I was prescribed antidepressants by my doctor and never used them.
Doing fine now.
I found out I was legally blind and got my glasses shortly after being diagnosed with depression and honestly that helped so much I didn't even need to use anti depressants.
Find something you like to take your mind off of it. After I got my glasses I found that taking walks in the park really helped when I was feeling down in the dumps.
My mother is becoming / has become some hardcore christian who believes literally everything she finds on youtube. All that conspiracy theory crap about the illuminati and demons and stuff. Islam is from satan, rock music and dancing is satanic, etc. I tried to reason with her many times but its impossible. I wouldn't even mind if she was just some normal christian but this? Fuck. Anything I can do?
Sounds like she's become emotionally invested in the internet. She needs to get out more.
>>16673371
Well shes pretty much a NEET. As much as a mother can be a NEET. No friends since the last 15 years at least, no job, no anything
Show her /pol/
Ever since my gf and I moved in together we hardly bang. Our sex life wasn't amazing to begin with but it was 20x better than this. She keeps making excuses why we don't, she says she tries to come onto me but I reject her (lie). I don't know what to do. I have to excessively masturbate so I don't cheat but she blames my masturbation for why I don't want to have sex with her. She always rejects my advances, I feel like I can't win. What the fuck do I do I am going to go insane.
No, this pic is not my gf.
Somethings wrong with your living arrangement.
>>16673357
Start having scheduled sex like my parents do.
>>16673378
That would fucking kill me. I need some spontaneity. I hate fucking late at night cause I'm so tired but that's the only time she's remotely interested. I'm so depressed.
>having a kid soon
>doctors say it's going to be a girl
>propose the name Mandy
>my wife, my parents, her parents and our friends immediately dislike it
What's wrong with Mandy?
Her dad's a faggot, that's what's wrong with Mandy.
Not a very pretty name for a girl.
Try Womandy, see if they like that
I'm a 29 year old virgin and got at GF now she isn't a virgin and I didnt told her Im one
should I visit a hooker before gettin to fuck the girl?
I wouldn't. Even if it doesn't go that well it's still more special than fucking some whore.
>>16673330
Yes and make sure it's a man hooker
>>16673330
Does that poor girl know you are a virgin (at 29!!! kek)? It doesn't matter if you see a hooker or not, you'll still lack skills. Normal people enter sexual relationships at 16-18, at 29 they should have considerable skills, you are at least 10 years late. So of course you will suck and I truly feel for this girl, she's gonna get the worst sex of her life and have arguable pleasure of 'deflowering' 29 yo guy.
How do I decide what haircut to get /adv/?
I've never put any thought into it until now.
Don't, only pussies cut their hair.
Number 2 on sides and back with scissors on top. He'll do the rest.
do this
So the father of my son left us today, it's a very long story but basically I got postnatal depression and he didn't deal with it well and got very selfish and demanding and I couldn't keep him happy. To the point where he's now turning towards other girls. I'm having a really really hard time dealing with it. I love him more than words can describe and all I wanted in life was to make our family work. Most of all I'm hurting for my son, he deserves a complete family, not being shifted back and forth between mam and dad. I'm also not sure how I'm going to deal with my son being taken from me two days a week. I've been a stay at home mam from the beginning and I've never been away from him for more than a few hours. Any advice for me? How do I cope? Anyone been through something similar?
Take your son and run away
>>16673277
I can't, if I did that we'd be found and he'd get full custody because I'm technically kidnapping.
>>16673272
>postnatal depression
>depression
So basically you are a broken human bean and he doesn't care about you & your son enough to stick and just elopes to fuck some random sluts? What an excellent choice for a husband and father.
What you can do:
>sort out your mental problems
>lose fat and baby mama look
>use your pussy as a bait if it's still usable
Maybe he'll come back
Hey /adv/ looking for some help. I talk to this girl basically every day whether it be on Skype or facebook. I really like her and want to share my feelings but I fear rejectio n. My sister said she wouldn't talk to me this much if she didn't like me but idk. Sorry if this is vague but I'll answer any questions. Cheers guys :^)
>pic unrelated, my dog
Well if she rejects you you aren't going to be getting laid anyway so you might as well bite the bullet and figure it out.
>>16673274
Idk just feel like it'll ruin the friendship since I still want to be friends with her either way
>>16673295
Well, you can't expect it to be a good friendship if you're hiding your feelings from each other.
So there's this girl who's very attractive and likes me. However I don't really want a girlfriend and I want to focus on my studies but at the same time she so attractive. Please help.
Fuck her
>>16673241
Take one night out from study and fuck her.
>>16673244
I'm not that kind of man.
I'm quite stressed about something right now.
I was in Vegas over new years and a friend told me about this trick where you can slip a $20 to the hotel receptionist and ask for a 'complimentary upgrade' during check-in.
So I did it and it was successful and we got the upgrade.
But today I told my boss and other people at work about it. And I work in a financial management company where ethics is really important and a lot of people heard me.
Is it unethical what I did? Am I fucked?
Thanks
>>16673222
Wait what was the upgrade? A nicer room?
>>16673222
Since when is financial management all about ethics? My guess would be that it's all about PRETENDING to be ethical, because they figured out that makes money somehow.
Just make up some bullshit story of why it's not unethical what you did. As long as it won't get them into trouble they' ll probably stop giving a fuck. Also, next time keep your big mouth shut.
>>16673222
>But today I told my boss and other people at work about it.
learn some self control maybe?
Your boss doesn't need to know about the stupid weird shit you do under the table. If it happens under the table KEEP IT THERE, no matter how friendly you are with your coworkers. ESPECIALLY if it's a place where "ethics are important"
Hey /adv/ 23 y/o male here
So I'm not definitely not a pedophile but I can't help but find some 16 & 17 year old girls attractive. There's just something about a girl on the cusp of reaching her sexual peak. I know it's against the law so I don't entertain my urges. I do get tempted sometimes to hook up with a girl this age, and I know I could. Is this crazy/risky/dumb? What should I do? I want to explore this somewhat risque side of my sexuality but I don't wanna break the law or hurt anyone.
Side note: the girl in the photo is 18 y/o pls don't flag my post just a reference
>>16673120
Girls don't reach their sexual peak at 16/17, men do. Women don't reach their peak until their 30s.
Yes, that's dumb. You'd be fucking a literal child. You can roleplay without potentially fucking up a kid's life and vision of adult men (she will start to view men as kiddy fuckers by the time she's an adult, I speak from experience). You'd be giving a child trust issues to explore a "risque" side of your sexuality.
That's not the sexual peak
15-16 is legal in many (civilized) countries. It's perfectly normal, but I don't think you should break the law, you don't want to end up as a registered sex offender. Maybe take a trip to one of those countries.
Can you and should you, as a male, have female friends? Like, regular friends? Especially if you are in a relationship already?
yes and yes.
Bro, every conversation you have with a woman does not have to be in pursuit of smashing her guts.
>>16673115
Yes. Its helps you weed out the crazy gf and prevents you from ruining you're life.
EXAMPLE
>Two best friends one male one female.
>Like family to me.
>New girl friend
>I'm blind to the red flags
-Short red hair
-Septum piercing
-unnatural scares
-tattoos
>Best female friend and new gf don't get long.
>Month into relationship gf starts moaning at me for spending time with bff.
>Two months gf starts having "panic attacts"
>Bff tells me she's crazy
>I agree.
>I cut and run.
The way I see it with out my bff the crazy might not have became noticeable as fast as it did.
>>16673152
That's actually pretty good advice there anon, thanks!
>girl in my class at uni laughs at all my cringeworthy jokes
>keeps turning around and stares at me
>friends bugging me to ask her out
>she gives me her Instagram & Snapchat
>I'm literally the most autistic person I know, I can't believe that she'd like me as more than a friend, hell, I can't believe she even likes me as a friend
>friends continue to bug me to ask her out
W-What do? She's attractive, but I'm thinking about just lying to my friends and telling them that she said no when "I asked her out"
Ask her out, you stupid piece of shit.
The worst thing that can happen is that she might say "no".
>>16673091
man the fuck up.
>>16673094
She's so out of my league tho. Just some background:
>I'm 18
>I'm probably a 5/10 at best
>Never had a real girlfriend
>Never kissed a girl
>Never had sex
>Hobbies include lifting and browse 4chan
>been lifting since I was 15
Maybe she likes me for ma gains but they don't really show through my clothes significantly?
My story begins on the 18.12.2015. I started to date this Italian/German chick and as we date - eventually - she starts to love me.
Loving me doesn't stop her from cheating and whoring around with multiple guys since then.
Now, a couple days ago she told me that she thinks she's pregnant (feels sick, weak stomach, hungry all the time, can't sleep well) and of course she told me I'm the only one who could be the father.
I'm in my early twenties and in college, I have no job and no own apartment and a child would effectively ruin my life.
Why do I tell you guys this? Should I really freak the fuck out and get me an unregistered gun to die a hero or is this just a psycho chick that doesn't want to lose me?
Note: This Thursday she wants to go to the gynecologist with me to see whether or not she's really pregnant.
What the FUCK do you mean eventually? It hasn't even been a month- Lose? Don't be ridiculous.
drop her like a hot potato
seriously, she cheats on you and you are still with her?
LEAVE HER NOW and never look back.
>>16673054
>>16673047
Guys, I know, but the thing is that this whole "I may be pregnant" thing started after I told her she can go to hell and now she kinda goes to all kinds of doctors and I freak out about becoming a father.
She took a pregnancy test at home = negative.
Took a blood test a few days back = negative.
And on Thursday she wants to make another one at the gynecologist with me.
I mean could she even be pregnant from me (ofc she could be from one of those other guys)? We only had a few times sex without protection and I never came inside her and the total time we know each other/have sex is three weeks tops.
i'm so paranoid of smelling bad or doing something stupid, especially since i'm not his first
Chill out
>>16673012
Don't shit be4 sex
>>16673012
>implying virgin girls have any responsibility other than be clean
Nigga you could just lay there and let him pound the fuck out of you and you'd be fine.
