I just need people who do not like wearing shoes in the house to bring that same energy about pets. That's all.

Good point
By FortuneFaded Go To PostDoing my taxes. Apparently I owe the feds 51 cents. Thanks Biden."Communism is all over the place"
By Pedja Go To PostThat 51 cents is the only thing stopping Putin taking over Ukraine.
Nah, 2 of those cents are Machin and Sinema.
By DY_nasty Go To Postthat 51 cents stops tyrannyThey won't even let him vote.
do not shirk this responsibility, fellow patriot
Edit: thinking about it, that validates your first statement.
Think this was the coldest month I've ever experienced in my life. Me and GF decided to book a 1-2 month rental Airbnb in Florida next January, doing WFH there instead, fuck this.
slaent elite just out here showing off, booking a BNB for 2 months at a time. Consider the audience, folks.
Meanwhile, I did finally manage to go over to my old apartment that I'm still paying for to finally retrieve my shaving materials. I moved out on December 22, so, yeah, looking kind of scraggly at the moment, no need to deny it.
I'm just a lazy person, no other excuse except for possible other unlisted excuses.

I might be quitting university soon. I don't how much more I can take of the stress. Every little thing that people take for granted is always a big hurdle for me.
I think it would be unlikely that I would even pass anyway given how much work will be required to write the thesis versus how little energy I have. Even if I did stay and somehow complete my degree, I wouldn't be applying for any jobs. I can barely function with the small hours I have now. I don't look after myself. The only way I have been able to keep a glimmer of sanity is that I knew that it was soon going to be all over. But once I realised that I didn't give a shit about passing my degree a few months ago, I've been trying to kill myself but just can't find the courage.
My parents have offered me their spare room but they recently retired to a small bungalow. I know that if I stayed in that room, I would never leave and neither of us want that.
I feel trapped between choosing which shitty situation to go with and no way of escaping.

Nephew, I dont know what to suggest here really about your life as a whole. I assume you got a therapist already? Moving in with your parents certainly a lot better choice than killing yourself.
If you are unhappy with the degree/jobs you will have after, I can only recommend quitting though.

By LeonidDikapriovLung Go To PostI assume you got a therapist already?No. I've seen so many doctors over the years and I despise them. Plus I have to protect myself because I don't want to get put in a psychiatric hospital for a third time.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostNo. I've seen so many doctors over the years and I despise them. Plus I have to protect myself because I don't want to get put in a psychiatric hospital for a third time.
Fair enough. I dont know if it has any value at all, but considered online therapists? Can easily just switch them out if you dont like them, and dont have to worry about being forced anywhere.
I really dont know what to say, other than hope you get better soon m8. This is coming from your one twitter follower after all.

FF I'm so sorry your in such a shitty situation but like others I'd encourage you to continue to try and find help. Even if it's a slow process I believe you make it out dude, please hang in there!
FF you would genuinely be missed by our community please don't give up and seek help. I know shit is tough and I couldn't imagine your personal circumstance but there is a whole community that is rooting for you. Have you tried MDMA therapy? There are positive results with soldiers suffering from depression. Try everything before you give up m8
I'm bad at this, but lemme just say...it's okay to fail (by the definition of "society") so what? Don't put any pressure on yourself. Sure, move back with your parents, at worst thats quality time with family until you feel like doing anything again, if ever. Again, who cares, fuck what anyone thinks...nobody matters but you. (and Zabo, Zabo always matters)
you follow Salazar on twitter? DM him, he's the smartest guy I know, used to be a pretty damn good college professor and now he's enjoying his nomadic life in Australia teaching kids (I assume it's low pressure if any and more fun) and going around taking awesome pics of nature, surfing and stuff. He found his balance (he also went to a psychiatrist I think)
Love you FF, we have one life and I'd always rather live a miserable one that not be alive at all. I just always feel lucky to be here at all no matter what

One thing that isn't talked about is that most financially successful people fail multiple times before they finally become successful. Every failure is a learning experience. Don't be afraid to fail even more so when you have family or friends willing to help you out.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostI might be quitting university soon. I don't how much more I can take of the stress. Every little thing that people take for granted is always a big hurdle for me.Damn FF, I hope you stay with us. You’re a great guy and god damn it, this world needs more great guys. It sounds like you’re kind of in both a rut and an inpassé, normally I would recommend a trip. But the times being as they are, maybe that’s not possible.

The thing that is the most important for you is to take care of yourself. You need to figure out what you want of your life and what would make you happy, the easiest way to do that is just to get out. Meet people, experience stuff, travel. Speaking as somebody who was depressed for several years and failed in his academics, for me that was what worked. I started seeing my family and friends more often, joined a football club as a team leader, joined the housing cooperative in the building that I live in just to feel that I was helping others with their passions and needs.
Just don’t give up and stay in there. I really hope you do.

Mate I'm not going to directly compare out situations because it sounds like you're dealing with more than I was. But there are similarities.
In 2010 I went to uni to do journalism, not because I wanted to be a journalist but because all my friends were going to uni and I didn't want to miss out. Very quickly realised I didn't want to complete the course and fell into a depression over it, around Christmas time I decided I had to quit the course and move back in with my mum and step dad. I hated it. Fucking hated it. I hated losing that independence and missing out on the social side, and of course I felt like a huge failure. I was in a relationship at the time which ended up ending because I wasn't myself any more, I was more depressed than I realised at the time. When we eventually split it really did feel like I'd lost pretty much everything, I was working a shitty retail job but I wanted more ofc. That period was certainly the worst of my life, the breakup took me to rock bottom but it was being so fucking low that I had to do something about it (we're 2 years after I left uni at this point), I decided to reapply to uni to do computer science (I kinda figured out what I wanted to do over those two years) despite me not being qualified for it at all, I was offered a position and that was the sudden catalyst to get back on track.
The point is, I suppose, keep going. Always just keep going. Things really do have a way of working out, but you do need some kind of catalyst at a point. For me it was at the point where I knew I couldn't go any lower and being scared of what might happen if I did, that's when I had to make a change. If and when you get there, just do something. Anything. The butterfly effect is a crazy thing, the smallest thing can make a huge difference to your future, even if it feels completely innocuous at the time.
Again, our situations are similar but certainly not the same. Hopefully though what worked for me works for you, all I did was keep on living and things worked out. I do believe they tend to. And fair play for posting about it here, that part isn't easy either.
If university isn't that important then what is, FF? Being close to your family might be and sounds like it could be more detrimental to your well being if you go down that route. We'll be here as support though and help you go through these things as you should never feel that you are doing it all by yourself.
By Willkiller Go To PostMate I'm not going to directly compare out situations because it sounds like you're dealing with more than I was. But there are similarities.I quit Uni the first time round in 2007 for the same reasons as this time. I spent 6 years not leaving the house. So this is more of a sequel.
and that's fine, hell go for an FF cinematic universe if you want. Recharge your mental
if it was up to me I'd do the same, this working/studying loop is mentally draining.

Restrictions are finally being lifted, restaurants are now at 50% capacity again and other venues slowly opening. Gym's still closed for another 2 weeks.
Went out to a trendy Sushi joint, it's fucked up how we were locked for so long again without having to see friends, eat some good food and have a few sake/wine drinks.

Travel around, stop and visit Slaent members in their countries. You got limitless options being a math genius, you could make a killing in pretty much any fantasy sports, stock/crypto trading if you wanted while teaching anywhere in the world.
I'm sure more are coming. I had to place a delivery order to a local grocery store to get some pepto, gatorade, and yogurt. Problem is it won't arrive for another 5 hours and might not help at all either way.
No idea. All I know is I didn't eat a thing yesterday, barely ate anything the day before. The vomits started off completely empty, just liquid. Then after the third or fourth one, I tried to down a protein drink for the vitamins and electrolytes, and the next session was full of what looked like undigested chicken. Where that came from, I have no idea. Maybe my intestines are joining the party.
