Consummate Professional posted:thanks for talking to me and asking some good questions. I've really lost "liking" things as I've just stayed drunk all the time. I guess I like to solve problems so puzzles may be something I haven't considered. legos are kinda fun but annoy me a lot during the process. Gonna second the board game rec here if you like logic puzzles. Most game stores have a small community attached even if its just Magic and when I was in a real bad place having a group to play Netrunner with weekly helped just by getting out of the house and thinking about things that weren't bad. Might even check the TG boardgoon thread and see if there's people near you

Venom Snake posted:Depression has gotten extremely bad lately sapping me of my motivation after it turned out I can't get an internship for the summer because not only is my GPA (2.875) too low for most but I have no experience in my field yet (my resume is almost all political stuff). Everyone i talk to either says I shouldn't care or that I'm completely hosed because i waited until i was 23 to get serious about my field outside of politics. i also did something similar to this, and i also got absurdly lucky, but maybe try talking to all the professors you had (and maybe those you haven't) and see if maybe they have research over the summer? i managed to get a job just fiddling with side projects grad students didn't want to do. like i said this was lucky as hell and it pays like poo poo but it's worth a shot at least

Venom Snake posted:Thats a good suggestion, rn I'm just trying to convince myself not to have a meltdown because I started this summer semester by getting a 10/100 on my first diff eq exam. ouch. diffeq was where i flunked out the first time. dad finally managed to explain it to me but i just went back for technology which ends at calc 2 lol

Chokes McGee posted:differential equations made my head hurt. numeric theory made my head hurt. pretty much all of it was for a career as an industrial engineer or statistician and either one was ew. IE would be cool if you use it for the purpose of making people's work easier instead of making people work more, but lol capitalism. Frank Gilbreth, one of the inventors of time& motion study, would walk into factories and ask to see the laziest guy they had on the grounds that he would be doing the least wasted motion. Also VS, since my last post was a little depressing I do want to say as someone that's flunked out twice that as long as you can pay for it and you don't give up, you can push your way through. i had to change majors but it was still something I wanted to do, and if you keep slogging on you can make it out eventually. With diffeq in particular is it a conceptual problem or an execution one? This sort of thing if you don't know what the math represents youve got problems

Venom Snake posted:Nothing makes me happier than when someone asks me for advice or help with something, or a favor that my skillset is good for. So it does feel worth it, just feels like a struggle when you have days like today where a professor straight up tells you "You need to get over your disability and nobody at this university will or should entertain requests for working one on one going through problems like you asked" which is obvious loving bullshit, I had literally just come from a meeting with a different professor who've iv been working with 1 on 1 the entire semester. From what ive heard about the average IE's opinion of unions, they need more raving communists to set them right. Hang in there

The Dispossessed is a classic of anarcho communism; Roadside Picnic (novella) is melancholic but has a message about struggling through it; Iain Banks' Culture series is probably goos but I havent started it yet, Altered Carbon and sequels border on 3edgy5me territory but there's some cool stuff

So yesterday I posted about wanting to get back in touch with an old friend, but then i start freaking out about how it's be weird to talk to someone after having only a bit of contact for several years. Now I kind of don't give a shot about it either way and I can't tell if it was stupid to begin with, if I don't care about being in touch with people, or both

Frog Act posted:people are usually happy to hear from old friends, it’s often good to think about how you would feel if they got in touch out of the blue - probably fine, or better than fine, because it’s pretty common and not weird for adults to have friendships like that imo Thanks, thats actually a big help. I always freak out about this sort of thing and hopefully I can think about it in a healthier way. CelticPredator posted:I’ve done that twice for two different friends in the past few months. haven’t heard anything back. I know this isn't a great long term thing but whats worked for me being really bad at holding friendships together is having some sort of regular thing you do. I'm lucky enough that ive got a small group that meets up same bar, same time every week so I can socialize but theres other things you can try- if youre into it board games are a good thing if you just need to do something with people, volunteering is nice, maybe see if there's any outdoor groups or something. From experience you'll probably still have weird social anxieties but its much, much better to have anyone to talk to than just cooking your brain by yourself

So I'm about to start a new semester in year 8 of undergrad and while I'm still having some trouble in making a lot of progress and should be on track to graduate. The one serious problem in having is that I oversleep really badly. I've done ok so far since ive been living at home so someone can knock on my door if I'm late but in moving out in, uh, under 48 hours and I have to actually drag my rear end out of bed now. I tend to stay up too late and then snooze alarms- probably gonna actually get an alarm clock and put it out of reach. Anyone have tips for helping?

I have similar issues with obsessing over relationships or stressful events and while i too would like a long term solution I have found that repeating some sort of mantra may help break it in the short term and then you can start thinking of something else. if you've ever read William Gibson's Pattern Recognition I keep saying "he took a duck to the face at 250 knots" until it clears up enough I can start thinking about work or videogames or exactly why John Locke was a shithead- anything that isnt unhealthy. This is entirely a personal thing so 100% YMMV on this

Turtlicious posted:I'm so hosed up about this because it not only feels like I failed myself but everyone who believes in me, my partner is paying my way through school and I feel like I'm failing her. Hey I just wanna call this out because this is basically how I felt about five years ago when I was failing out of school. But I'm now back in school and doing a hell of a lot better with only a slight change in major. Getting really worked up about how absolutely hosed you are and how nothing will be better and youve let everyone down is not healthy and also not very true. I would recommend having a serious talk with your partner about finances- and try not to get too worked up about it, its her money and if she wants to help you with it thats her business, especially if you are actually working hard. Then I'd probably find a teacher you liked and talk to them about careers and what you can do. If your goal is to be a climate scientist specifially may be there is other ways you can approach it, and even if you stick with it you can learn to minimize the parts you're not good at. Also honestly sometimes it just takes a while or a good teacher- I finally more or less get how circuit analysis works after flunking it three loving times

For context when I was at the communiry college in between I was goofing off online and missed the last bus home at like 9pm. I was so angry with myself for making my parents pick me up that I called home and said I'd be walking back the full 20 miles or something. (They came and got me anyway) Its honestly good for you that you've adopted that stance over unearned self assurance but both are ultimately self destructive. It causes you to do all sorts of extremely stupid things because you really aren't thinking straight.

hey does anyone have advice on how to handle low-key stress? i havent had real panic attacks in years and i can generally deal with short burst of anxiety like before a job interview or something, but i've been having long-term problems with just simmering anxiety including a bit of an elevated heart rate and a vague sense of dread, which sucks for trying to actually get work done

PsychedelicWarlord posted:having sadbrains because I got engaged on this night a year ago and now one year later, I live alone in a studio apartment and my social activity extends to going to trivia once a week. I don't really know why I am venting into the void here, since my therapist said that I have good adaptive coping skills and that I am doing well post-my life imploding. But four months after I still have some bad days and this is one. Good to hear you're doing all right generally and feel free to scream into the void whenever it helps
