Asked /adv/ about a week ago about putting my dog down. Well today we did it. I know rationally it was the best thing to do but it hurts. I've been sort of depressed since graduating earlier this year and the only things that ever got me out of bed were my girlfriend, the gym, and my dog. But the girlfriend's working every day and I just can't get up to go to the gym. I feel like I'm going to just lay in bed for the rest of my life now. It sucks. I don't really have a question I just wanted to say this shit

I haven't been on here for a while but I remember it being a pretty decent place to ask for help.

I was recently diagnosed with a disability that gives me constant pain, nausea, shakiness, poor motor function, the whole nine yards. Imagine waking up every day with a hangover, that's essentially what it is. It's genetic, it's a known (but rare) condition, and I've been working very closely with a doctor who believes he has a treatment for me, should be good to go in about six months, after they take a bunch of precautions as there are some undesirable side effects. If I don't get the treatment, the general consensus is that my symptoms will get worse and worse until I die around age 45-55 (fortunately when you get the treatment your lifespan is normal).

I want to quit my job and experience life. I haven't had a vacation ever, I haven't seen my family since my graduation day from college (I'm 30 now). My girlfriend has been talking to me about wanting to do some kind of road trip, playing music on the street, being wild and carefree, and I know it'd be really irrational but at the same time I just want to be fun and carefree like I was when I was in school a decade ago, before I had this crazy health problem.

I feel like if I just put in my two weeks my boss would kill me, as I'm one of the anchors for the team. He gets real pissed when people quit, punching walls and throwing our equipment around and stuff. I like him as a person I don't want him to think I'm a coward, you get the idea.

In your opinion, what should I do? How do I quit? What kinds of plans should I have in place?

So, my mom told me that I should get around to selling some stuff around the house. She's clueless as to know what to do with it. Most of it isn't mine, but my mom wants to go full minimalist as well as give me a way to make my own money before going off to college.

Here's some of the stuff that needs to disappear...
>dozens to hundreds of vintage games, including most of the 100$+ rare ones
I don't want to cop out and go sell them at 50$ a pop at gamestop, y'know?
>collectibles from all sorts of things like old TV shows, some are still in their original packaging
>tools (all types, including the fancy electronic kind)
>3-10 year old computers, especially desktops
>DVD series though I'm betting that this will get pennies

Then there's stuff that's difficult to put a price tag on it. Like a 20+ year old bust of Marilyn Monroe, paintings, and other random vintage things that's impossible to put a pricetag on. Sigh. I guess there's nothing I can do with them.

So I guess I have two options:
>find buyers nearby
>Ebay or another online site, which seems risky because of the shipping

I want to be able to do this fairly efficiently. What advice do you have for me? I'm hoping to hear from people that have done the same before.

A long time ago, When i was 16, One night I was watching "The Exorcist" with my ex-stepmother. She asked me to hold her hand because she told me she was scared. Out of nowhere, she starts using my hand to masturbate herself, insinuating herself at me. At that moment my brain did not process what was happening, so I simply said I would go to the bathroom and went to my room, scared, terryfied. The other day she call me, saying that she regretted what she had done, crying a lot and saying "it was not me who had done that". I, in my innocence, forgave her and said that everything was fine, with her saying that if I told my Father, he would put both of us out of the house. Until the time of separation from my parents, she treated me worse than garbage.
Nowadays I'm 23 and I've already get help about it, but sometimes this issue still disturbs me a bit. Any advice on how to overcome this?

I need to get something off my chest.

I have absolutely no memories from my childhood. Over the years I have pushed everything as far as 0 through 15-16 years old away due to a rough childhood.

I was never allowed to speak my mind. My mom would put me in my place and curse me for raising my voice at her which lead to me never learning to confront problems (I'm 23 now and started pursuing a new learning curve when I turned 20-21ish). And now I'm having a tough time speaking about problems to anyone - because I never learned to speak my mind either. I broke up with my girlfriend recently due to the fact that I just started school, bad time at home and moving out in October - so for me having to take care of her was too much for me. She's one of the only ones I told my dad was a drinker and mom was abusive.

My dad drank (sister told me) and still does. The reason why I know this is because I can hear him opening up 3-5 cans in the basement with short intervals. He's hiding beer cans in their garage and their basement.

Dinner is awkward. I sit next to my dad on the left side of the table. My mom as the only one on the right. My mom and dad opposite of each other. I eat while mostly looking to the right to avoid eye contact with my dad and then I leave. Occasionally
emptying out the dishwasher if it's full.

Dad says random bullshit that no one cares about. I can even see/hear my mom being sarcastic (is this the right word to use?) with her answers to make him feel sort of relevant. Which also pisses me off because it fuels him to keep talking bullshit.

Still living at home. The only reason why I started studying is so that I can move out because I'm uncomfortable in my parents house. It doesn't feel like a home to me anyone. Yes, my bed is here - which is not even mine. It's a bed my parents bought. This house where I grew up have become a place I don't look forward to come 'home' to after school.

Why, /adv/? Am I being a bitch about all of this?

Pls reply

Hi everyone.

So 2 years ago I played Smash 4 kind of competitively and used a tag that I saw ended up getting mocked by a group of people who I thought was really cool, and ever since then I just went under random tags after going to Tournaments again in 2017.

However, more people in my local smash 4 community know me under my other tag and think I should go back to it. Should I just use that tag again even if I risk it getting mocked? Would like to know your thoughts on the matter.

Recommend me some books about:
-Building up self-esteem/self-worth
-Getting rid of unhealthy sexual fetishes
-becoming happy
-(evtl.) finding a daily routine that stops you from procrastinating
Just the usual stuff I guess. General advice is also appreciated of course.

What are some decent career paths that don't require a university degree AND are unlikely to be automated or outsourced to India? I'm interested in trades like plumbing or electrical but I don't know if I have the mechanical skills. I am also thinking about becoming a prison guard.
