So I got back from Basic and AIT in December last year and ever since, things havent been normal for me mentally.

For starters, the second I got back, I was terrified of being alone and would spend days at my friends house.

Then came school, and this is where I need advice in. School has always been my priority since I was a kid but ever since I got back, my brain does this thing were it refuses to learn. It simply wont take in any new knowledge and Ive seen myself drop tremendously compared to the honor-roll AP top 10 student that I was before I shipped off. Im just not there mentally, and Im tired and I wish I was able to overcome whatever is making my brain so stubborn.

Is there anybody out there, preferably someone whose spent more than a year away from home, who can give me a better understanding of whats going on with my brain and what to do to oversome said obstacles?

Much Appreciated.

Fatigue. Your brain probably was under the most pressure during basic and now it's just not accustomed to learning anything anymore. My recommendation is get 6 - 8 hours of sleep on work days, coffee, fruit, bread, and juice. Stay away from candy or things that can make you crash. Also don't go to a doctor and complain about these symptoms because all they want to do is write you a prescription for aderall of whatever poison they sell, that'll make you focus, yes, but on days when you dont have it, you'll crash drastically. I think its against AR too, but im not sure, you'll have to check.

Best of luck!

Hi /adv/. I need some relationship advice or..something. I'm not sure what category this will fall into. I'd like to start off by saying it isn't a huge deal in the first place. Really. I'll do my best to avoid any hyperbole.

The back story,
I have a girlfriend. We've been together for three years. We're both in graduate school at different universities, and I drive 5 hours every weekend to see her for 3-4 days then come home for 3-4 days. We're very close in general. Best friend type of relationship, and I'm really happy with her.

Ok, with that out of the way:

Today we were talking. She was having a rough day with classes. I was too, honestly. Just one of those days. While we were both kind of agreeing that today stinks, she says something along the lines of "but there's a silver lining to the day!"

From there she basically told me she had gotten a $50 ticket to Denver, CO. - essentially across the country - and because of her dads job she was getting a free room there too. I responded with an "oh cool" type response, and afterward she said she thought a couple of her friends might want to go.

I left the interaction with my feelings hurt for two reasons.

For Christmas I had planned to take her somewhere. We've discussed it off and on through the last year, but I haven't brought it up in a couple of months so it would kind of fade from her memory and be a bit of a surprise. I'm building her a piece of furniture for Christmas, and the idea was to put a letter inside asking her if she would like to go on the trip with me. There's now no time left for this, at all, and I'm a little disappointed she didn't even think about our many discussions about how we would like to go somewhere together.

cont.

Second, and probably more tangible, I'm a little upset she didn't invite me, or that she didn't consider her trip is in direct conflict with the tiny window of time out of the year we get to see each other regularly. We visit our individual families on Christmas break, about an hour away from each other, and its an odd time of year where we get to do more..well..couple-like things like going on proper dates where we aren't stressed about school. This Christmas she is already taking a big trip with her family, where she won't see me for the entire first part of the break(we get out of school next week, and she's leaving until christmas eve). We're doing Christmas together the day after Christmas because of this trip, usually we would do it the day before Christmas eve. Her trip to Denver is a week, from the 2nd of January to the 8th. Our school starts back on the 11th. What this means is we're probably barely going to see each other at all for the whole month, a month that is usually the one small period of time where we get to really see each other. I'm disappointed and upset about this, and even at points that I've convinced myself it's wrong to feel that way, I can't help it. I want her to go. I want her to have fun. But at the same time I can't help but be heart broken that she doesn't value this little bit of time we have together.

cont once more
>>
Oh, a little more context: We saw each other for less than a day over our 13 day Thanksgiving break.

We had a short text conversation in which I almost slipped and clued her in that I'm upset about the trip, it went like this:
Her "How's it going? You seem sad."
Me: "I've just been thinking about Christmas break. After everything that happened last summer and over Thanksgiving and every other break we've had this year I'm afraid this is going to be another big break where we can't find time to see each other."
Her: "I'm coming to see you right after Christmas!"
Me: "Yes. You're right. I'm sorry. It's just hard being away from you all of the time. I've been feeling really lonely since you left Tuesday, and I know that's dumb."
Her: "Do you not want me to go on my trip?"
Me: "No. That's not it. I'm just feeling lonely and it's influencing me a little more than I should let it."
Her: "I'm sorry. I love you."


sorry, just over character limit one last time and idk what to cut. one more post after this.
>>
Not sure what to do. Any advice about this would be welcome. I realize I haven't asked a proper question, that's because I don't know how to. I don't know what to say about this. I'm not even sure if I'm right or wrong to be upset. I don't know. I've been feeling terribly down lately, I saw her the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, a week ago, for like six hours. I drove an hour to pick her up, was with her for a few hours, then drove her back. That was it for a nearly two week break. Since then I've been really depressed and lonely in a kind of way I never have before. I think it's just the distance of our relationship getting to me. I've been dreading the long break from the time school lets out to when she will get back(I'm seeing her for a couple of days before she leaves thankfully), but inviting her on that trip was the light at the end of the tunnel for me. Even if she had invited me on this trip it would have all been the same to me. I just want to be with her some. I really don't want to let my emotional state get in the way of her ideas and plans though. She never sees the friends she's inviting - they had to move like a thousand miles away last year. I don't want to be a burden, but I don't know how to deal with these feelings. It's just really hard. I hope someone understands and has something to say about this.

Thanks in advance. For anything at all. Sorry this ended up so long. I'm not in a place to try and edit my feelings and thoughts down to a tiny post. I hope some of you can get through this and maybe at least give your thoughts.

>>16522532
Just lose weight :^)

Nah but seriously, start by just eating less. It's much easier to not eat the calories rather than trying to burn them off later. Go on a calorie deficit of at least 400 (eat less calories than the average recommended amount per day for your age/weight/activity level) for a couple of months. When you start feeling more fit start jogging or any form of cardio really. You MUST cut the soda and white bread immediately.

I currently have almost nothing going for me. I plan on taking all of this nothing, and turning it into something. I fear death, but I want to love my life to the fullest in grandiose fashion. I'm good looking and smart, but I'm only average height and girls don't even look at me. I have close to no real friends, and do nothing but play vidya and brood alone for long periods of time. I'm stuck in the shittiest college imaginable after failing out of a university because of severe depression. I won't go into my life story but I have seen some intensely dark times in my 21 years. I've lost family members, had people betray me, etc. I just want to reinvent myself and try my best to LIVE instead of wasting away. I want people to look up to me and WANT to be in my presence. I want people to dislike me for petty reasons like acting to confident or having money. Is it possible? Or is self reinvention some pipe dream? How would I even go about it.

Gf wants a 6k engagement ring from me. Told her that's not happening. She's super upset. Is she the right girl for me if she doesn't want to marry me over a stupid ring?
Am I being too harsh? The way I see it the money can be spent on our future and engagement rings just have sentimental value manufactured by Disney, movies and advertisement. It's highly irrational and shouldn't be an issue if we love each other.
I'm a poorfag btw.

I feel like she's not mature enough to get married, and neither are you if your first thought at a sign of conflict is to come here to get validation you're right

You dodged a major bullet. What kind of girl asks for a ring with that much of a fucking price tag knowing your financial situation?

Don't even mention how expensive the wedding will be.
>>
>>16522242
Been going on for months now. It's basically me vs her and her mother. Need some outsiders opinion, will try to provide info as objectively as possible.
We had this settled already btw. She agrees to a ring with fake diamonds for 400 bucks. Changed her mind now for reasons unknown.

Great, I love even numbers.

>Only went to a couple of house parties.

...Ok? House parties aren't the epicenter of fun or worth...

>Have had sex only a handful of times, all with the same girl.

That's better than having sex with a rat.

>Never traveled or went on any road trips.

Fuck off. Travel is about your mind, not about where you go. So many fuckers go to Thailand and get drunk with white people, look at a temple and see a ladyboy and act like they've found themselves. I don't give a shit, no matter where you go you're still the same person. Travelling means fuck all.

>Did I waste my youth?

Fuck did you, youth IS waste. If you partied non-stop you'd be writing here saying "Man all I did was drink", if you studied super hard you'd say "Man, all I did was study". Welcome to maturing.

>Should I feel bad?

Should does not exist. You should feel good, or neutral.

>What do I do?

Do what you want to. I mean what you ACTUALLY want to. Doing what you want to, based on what you DIDN'T do, is stupid. Sit back, relax, enjoy yourself. The chances are you've done far more than you care to admit, you just need to see it.

I caught herpes when I was younger and dumber from a one night stand from a girl I met at college.
How am I to find a wife and have kids and live a normal life with this virus? Feel like killing myself or becoming an asexual hermit.

How bad is it? What are your symptoms? dunno how the situation in america is, but if you are talking about the herpes simplex virus, approx. 85% of adults have it in their bodies and it only breaks out when the immune system is on low. Where i live, this isn't a biggie. Just don't do stuff if you have an outbreak and treat it right. Best is to be as healthy as possible so you don't get outbreaks.

well a billion Africans have no qualms about doing so, chicken pox vaccine is thought to virtually cure it
>>
>>16521131
Most people have herpes. Unfortunately, most think they don't because most are asymptomatic. So lots of misinfo gets spread around. I'm sure you'll be able to find a wife.

Been having a relationship with this girl for 2 years. She broke off for half a year now and I know she fucked other guys in that time.

Now she wants to cum back to me.
What do I do?
I can't stand the fact that she been sleeping around. The thought disgusts me.
I still have feelings for her but I also hate her.
I can really use some advice on this.

You tell her that it is over and that you moved on. Be brutally honest and then tell her we shouldn't talk anymore with each other. Why? Because if you continue talking to her as friends, you will remember all the feelings you had for her. If you two get back as a couple fights will occur and you two will break up again. Save yourself the drama and delete her number after you tell her you aren't interested.
>>
>>16518982
Yeah, deep down I know your right.
But to be honest, I have not really moved on. Yes I have been dating other girls but I still kinda like my ex gf.
I like her and hate her the same time.
If I did not know she had been sleeping with other guys than I'd take her back no problem.

I feel weak for still having feelings for her.
>>
Mate in all honesty.
If you truly love her. Then take her back without hesitation.
But if she isn't the one.
Then fuck her off and find the girl that is

Yes. Stop overthinking this.

Think positive, and get over it by practicing and exposing yourself to it.

Ask them out.

Ask them out.

My girlfriend told me that her senior year she got really depressed and fucked 20+ guys in a matter of 3-4 months. That was only a year ago. Obviously she gave me the speech about how she wish it never happened and how she would take it back if she could but it doesn't make me any less grossed out

Should I be worried?

>>16527830

Oh yeah and her reason for being depressed was that her boyfriend of 2 years up and moved to Japan with little notice and broke up with her

If that matters
>>
Sorry man, you should probably break it off. If it grosses you out now, it always will. It's unhealthy for you to try and bury those feelings. I guarantee you that there is someone out there that you get along with just as well who hasn't fucked 25 guys out of "depression".

Anecdote - just got out of a relationship with a girl that did something similar. High school sweetheart of a few years breaks up with her, she goes to college, joins sorority, starts partying, fucks a ton of dudes, develops eating disorder, etc etc. There are people with enough common sense from the get go to not end up in these situations, and you deserve to be with one of those people.
>>
>>16527830
it's objectively not wrong for her to fuck guys but te reason might be a thing to consider
here she had a pretty valid reason to have some void and attempt to fill that with guys so i wouldn't worry about that too much.
If you're grossed out by it then it's upto you to try and see where that feel comes from, fear of disease or fear of her moving on. If you can't live with it then leave.

Am I a kek for listening to my friend/ex-girlfriend talk extensively about some guy she's on and off with when I walk with her to college? It bores the fuck out of me but she has an ego and I get the feeling she's baiting for me to display distaste for the situation so she can attribute it to me liking her.
Equally, am I insecure and going too much off of suspected emotion?
