I am the oldest of 6. Last year I got all of my siblings great personal gifts except my little brother who had been a complete asshole all year so I got him a book entitled “How to not be an asshole”

I think he got the message

Edit: wow thanks for the karma and the gold Here’s the link to the book How Not to Be a Dick: An Everyday Etiquette Guide https://www.amazon.com/dp/1936976021/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_U4AiCbB1RSWGA

Well, i also do this. But the guy i made is Greg Kowalski, who comes from Poland, and now lives in San Diego, CA. It's a completely fake and random account, the name is completely randomized, and everything on there is completely fake. I pulled the profile picture from thispersondoesnotexist.com. I now have like 2k friends on his Facebook account, and i have at least 10 friends who still call me fucking Greg because they do not know that I'm a random bored teenager, not a 22 year old man

Boy do I have a product for you! Portable Urinal With Female Adapter – Incontinence Pee Bottle Made From Heavy Duty Plastic. These are used in the medical field for people who are bed ridden so they can pee in it and cap it up and then someone comes and empties it. I imagine it would be perfect to take camping.

I have a couple of these bottles, and I always have one with me that's filled with filtered tap water. My water stays cold all day (the ice hardly even melts) and it tastes fantastic. I've bought this combo for several people and they never go back to plastic bottles or regular tap water.

Edit: I called them bottles instead of cups. I hope you all can forgive me.

Yeah, you definitely should start with flared buttplugs. Start small and work your way up. There's some starter kits out there. (It's very important that the base is flared so you won't end up at the hospital again if it gets stuck.)

A little alcohol can help, but don't do too much because you'll want to make sure you don't ignore any serious pains. I always strongly recommend a safe word!

OP, I have an idea so crazy, it just might work.

Halloween is the perfect excuse to order your wife this Sexy Bumblebee costume from Amazon .

You know where this is headed. Get yourself a matching Optimus Prime costume, and next thing you know, your bedroom is Autobot Headquarters.

You may consider getting a manual drip (sometimes called a pour over, I think), to keep peace in your household. Apparently this is now a "trendy" thing to do (an article I read while looking up a filter to recommend said it's "one of the trendiest manual coffee brewing methods), but my dad's been doing it for decades and when I traveled abroad, I brought my manual drip coffee "maker" (I use that term lightly because there's absolutely nothing mechanical about it) with me because it's small and light-weight.

This is the kind of thing my dad and I use: https://www.amazon.com/HIC-Coffee-Filter-Number-12-Cups/dp/B01HXGE1E4/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1533842037&sr=1-2&keywords=plastic+manual+drip

You put the coffee grinds in and pour hot water (we just microwave 1 cup at 2.5 minutes) over the grinds. In about 2 minutes you have hot, fresh coffee. You don't have to use a paper filter (but you might want to, otherwise there's a bit of coffee silt at the bottom - it's a very small amount but it probably would bother some people).

The coffee's really good, and you can use as many grounds as you want to make it as strong as you want. I usually use 1 standard scoop like what comes with a preground tin of coffee. Good luck with your caffeine adventures!

u/JazzlikeMammoth, here's a door stopper that we take with us when traveling.

https://smile.amazon.com/Upgraded-Traveling-Security-Stopper-doorstop/dp/B01C0H0000/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1521297976&sr=8-2&keywords=door+stopper+alarm

TIL what limerent means. Also, that the word exists.

Why can't you and guy.1 get together? Does guy.2 give you some security that guy.1 can't?

There's an amazing book about this and a forum! I'm going through the same thing.

This is the book and this is the forum.

If he's not letting you have friends, that sounds like abuse.

No? I'll admit I'm not familiar with the field (outside of someone close to me getting pregnant at a time she did not want to be this past summer), but I don't think I used the term inappropriately here.

Maybe you don't hallucinate when you get sleep paralysis, but hallucinations definitely can be part of it and are something I've experienced during my own episodes of sleep paralysis.

>A debate is a fight.

No. No it isn't.

If you can find a source as reputable as Cambridge University that says otherwise I will be happy to entertain it.

By dictionary definition, a debate is not a fight.

This sounds like you don't have the right combination of bugs in your gut (the gut biome). "Fiber" is just another word for complex sugars (oligosaccharides), undigestible by you but a feast for your gut bacteria. If your diet is high in refined sugars (like sucrose and fructose) and low in fiber, you end up feeding the bad bugs and starving the beneficial bugs. This will ultimately cause the layer of mucus that separates the bugs from your gut cells to thin, because the beneficial bugs secrete a chemical that stimulates mucus production, and allow the toxic byproducts of the bad bugs to come in contact with, and irritate, your gut cells, causing things like IBS.

You need to restore balance in your gut biome. You can't do that orally with probiotics because most of the bugs die in the stomach. You have to get them through the other end, usually through a fecal transplant.

This documentary is quite informative:

I was going to suggest this... though it may only take the edge off. I use this acupressure mat and pillow set for chronic nerve pain in my back and neck. I feel like it distracts my sense of pain in that makes any sense?

Seconded for Ramsey's baby steps as well as A BUDGET. Other than simply not keeping track of where the money is going and not thinking critically about purchases, there is absolutely no earthly reason why a couple making $100k per annum with just one healthy child shouldn't be able to afford to pay their bills.

OP, there is NO EXCUSE for your theft. You are just lazy and don't want to do the work to manage your money, so you do pissant drop-in-the-bucket shit like this and think it gives you "breathing room" (laughing my ass off over here about that btw). Stop hurting workers (yes - low level workers - you think big box stores are going to let theft losses hit the shareholders? think again, they cut hours and reduce things like holiday bonuses), take accountability for your mistakes and manage your money

Dude, that's a lot of pain to deal with. The only non-disabled family you have are your parents, and it seems like they are simply overwhelmed. I can't imagine the pain and grief they must go through every minute of every day just dealing with the massive struggle they go through every day.

Sincerely, I hope you can escape this and find a way to not drown. I really don't know how you will do it, but I hope you do.

If it helps to write confessions like this, do it. If it helps to write angry stories and then destroy them, do it. If you can afford a psychologist, go see them. You need every strategy you can find.

This book helped me through a dark place in my life. Maybe it can help you: Man's Search for Meaning

http://www.khanacademy.org/

Do it all right from the beginning even if you think you understand it.

Watch the videos then the corresponding practice as many times as you need to.

You'll be great.

I mean, anything is a butt plug if you're crazy enough, but you'd have to be pretty crazy to use that. It'd be a terrible butt plug for many reasons:

-For the insertable length, the widest part isn't significantly wider than the most narrow part. It would slip out often and easily.

-The base is only a little larger than the rest of it, so if it isn't slipping out then maybe it's stuck and you're in for a fun trip to the ER.

-It's made of glass and the large heart decoration would make it impossible to sit down without risking serious bodily harm. It'd also be very difficult to use discreetly.

Also, I reverse-image-searched it just to confirm that it's marketed and sold as a dildo. Amusingly it's about $35 at most places, or in the case of Amazon, it's $8 but rather than a dildo it's a "Dildo Dilddo ... for Moman." (Edit: And also, OP really should be sure not to click that last link unless in incognito mode, because Amazon is pretty proactive about tracking your views and suggesting related stuff unless you tell them not to.)

I'm in car sales, and that's as specific as I'd like to get in to on that.

Here are some boats for sale.. Note, they're less expensive than a fair bit of houses in expensive areas, such as Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, etc.

Germany, England, Spain, Iceland, China, all over South America, the US, and even Hawaii, for under $500.

So, how do you plan when you buy or travel - cuz right now you just sound like a kid of parents who didn't teach you how to budget or spend wisely, with no real concept of how to best spend a dollar.

Please consider seeing a licensed acupuncturist to relieve your pain instead of doing it yourself. In the traditional method, the practitioner inserts needles into your body to physically stimulate your nerves to relieve the pain. There is a more modern version where a small electrical current is used to achieve the same purpose.

It doesn't work for everyone, but enough people benefit from it to be considered seriously by medical authorities.

OK, time to explore other avenues and time for you to take control of your mental health.

There is an online free counselling website: https://www.7cups.com/. I've heard good things about it. This may be a good starting place.

Some schools have counselors available; not sure if that applies to your location.

Ask for the insurance card and make your own appointment or let your mom know you would like to start calling counselors for their availability based off of the insurance coverage you have. Most insurances have their lists online and you could start there. This might be the option that would get you started, by the way.

A lot of therapists work on a sliding scale if there is no insurance coverage.

The key here is to start the groundwork on finding a therapist. I don't know your age but if your mom said she'd see what she can do, if you start researching for one, all she has to do is approve it.

Barring the above, your county (if you're in the States) has a public health department with people who can help.

If the above doesn't work, do you have a trusted adult who can listen and help you unpack all that?

A virtual private network. Basically a program you run in the background that connects you to a 3rd party server first, then to your web page you entered and vice versa. It keeps your browsing history 100% private from an ISP. But be sure to keep using incognito mode to keep the local history off your PC

Private Internet Access is probably the cheapest one that's reliable.

I use Astrill myself but they're almost twice as much. But Astrill is much more "pirate" friendly.

Good luck with everything, man.

No access to cash, no access to booze. I bought this off Amazon, and the first thing I throw all my money/cards in there to prevent the temptation from getting in my car and driving to get some scotch. And I reset until well after the stores are closed.

I'm fortunate they don't deliver to maryland so i don't have to battle that.

I wish you well.

I second what everyone else is saying around here. I was not too excited about college, I was a loner, didn't really put much effort into picking a school, and hated most of undergrad. Still, towards the end, classes got smaller and smaller, and I was around more people like me (in electrical engineering). Even then, I became involved with research, talking to maybe 5 highly intelligent and socially awkward people daily. I'm working on a PhD now, and I pretty much interact with a bubble of interesting and very intelligent people.

As much as I hated undergrad it was a stepping stone to a better life. I was forced to work odd jobs all through public school and every summer and there was nothing I hated more. College is also nothing like highschool.

But anyway, unless you've tried out both places, you don't really know. I suffer to this day from social anxiety (which used to be so debilitating I'd get panic attacks) but now I TA classes and give presentations in front of large groups of people. I had horrible depression through undergrad but gradually I was able to put myself in a better place, and I got better.

Also, with the Khan Academy - watch this and maybe you will rethink what it means to be an academic failure.

I’m not sure where you have gotten the idea that porn or masturbation cause erectile dysfunction. I guess if you are extremely aggressive and injure yourself in the process then it could be a possibility.

If anyone is worried you can check out https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see if you're in any breaches. OP is just getting his hands on known breaches logins and since so many people reuse passwords his methods are very effective.

Everyone needs to stop reusing passwords and get a password manager. Give every account a unique password no matter how unimportant you think it is.

Both sex and masturbation lower blood pressure. A small study demonstrated lower blood pressure in persons who had recently masturbated compared to those with no proximate sexual activity.

It takes a great deal to be a really successful Narc. Maybe you have issues with ego and acceptance, but speaking as someone who knows a full blown narcissist, your post seems pretty much like something normal for most. Just FYI, this is the face of narcissism.

You know what you should do, you should try making video games.

http://unity3d.com/

It's really hard, but it's really awesome, especially once you get to the point your games start becoming fun and you can make the games you want to play. If you're interested and you want some help, I can throw some resources at you to get you in the right direction.

That drawing isn't nearly as horrible as you seem to think it is. Drawing human faces is one of the toughest tasks for any aspiring artist, so there is no need to beat yourself up about it.

I would get a copy of a book called Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. It will teach you how to break down a face (or anything else) into a series of shapes that you can then draw without distortion.

The first thing the author does is have you draw a portrait upside-down. For most people this comes out a lot better than the right-side-up attempts, which proves to students that they can in fact draw, there's just something standing in their way. (Spoiler: It's the specialized part of the brain that recognizes that a collection of shapes as a face, and keeps you from seeing the individual shapes, thereby sabotaging your attempts to draw them. Drawing upside-down prevents this.) Then she teaches you how to see and draw the shapes without having to draw things upside-down.

I'd be interested to hear how well that book works for someone with face-blindness.

Freeing a slave is ethical because the sadness of the slave due to the slavery outweighs the sadness that the owner would experience if his slave was taken away.

Read this article about depression and decide if you might have depression from an unbiased perspective. If you exhibit any of the symptoms, contact your doctor and get treatment. Suicidal thoughts should be enough of a symptom for you to seek treatment.

Good to hear.

Something similar came up recently with a friend of mine and his behavior. I pointed him to this book which had helped start me down the path of getting control of my ego and reigning in my emotional impulses. You might find it useful.

Ah, websites are kept under different sub domains.

After some google searches, I have found some bugmenot alternatives that aren't so quick to block sites: bypass.rd.to

I haven't tested them to see if the logins work, but they both return results for some websites.

It's conditioning, you're rewarding yourself for watching it, in a roundabout way.

Go have a talk to someone about it, you'll be fine.

Your entire usage will show as the VPN so your pie chart will be solid one colour and when you hover over it, it will just said "NordVPN"

We can see your phones MAC Address and whatever you've called your phone. Nothing else

It is AFAIK but the way the website tracks phone devices is different than website searches.

The webpage looks exactly like this

You can click any piece of that pie chart (Websites) and it will show you each page visited on that site, the time stamp.

The left side is all the device names that are connected and you can also click on any device and see a specific pie chart for what websites/apps that device has been using while connected to the network.

If you have a VPN it would just show 100% usage on the pie as NordVPN for an example.

Thanks. He's happy now, has a wife and a daughter. I know there were many times when he was younger where he felt helpless and maybe thought about doing something serious but he's glad he didn't. You have the same opportunity, just do whatever it takes to get through the rough stuff and you'll be free. Take the path of least resistance, out smart him by anticipating his moves and reactions so that you can get through with the least amount of grief. The Art of War by Sun Tzu is a great book/guide for navigating these situations. I love nothing more than to see and hear about absolute victory in the face of an oppressor, be that story!

Dude, I think the real problem here is not the fact that you masturbate to lesbian porn, but the fact that you feel so guilty about it. That's what you need to work on. Why are you even trying to quit? I would recommend checking out this book, in audiobook form-- Wherever You Go, There You Are

I know exactly what you're going through.

If you find it difficult to focus because of Reddit, consider using a Chrome extension like Strict Pomodoro. I use this to block out Reddit and Google Reader. I'm not sure if this is available for other browsers but there should be similar add-ons out there.

Maybe it's not about browsing the internet at work. Your post also reminded me of this TED talk. I found it to be very helpful in understanding why work doesn't always happen at work.

To binge means to excessively indulge in something. The word's normally used when talking about alcohol. What OP means when they talk about "binge watching" is watching lots of episodes back to back or in a short time period.

It looks like you could use English lessons yourself. Read more about the usage of speak and talk here, because you are not using it correctly. Also, your last sentence has a misspelling and incorrect punctuation. If you want someone to speak English in an English speaking country and call them out on it when they don't, then it would be wise of you to at least learn proper usage yourself. Sure you can speak English, but you're not speaking it well.

The commercials were one of three big factors that resulted in me cutting the cord about 15 years ago. If you migrate to streaming and build a Pi-hole (https://pi-hole.net/), you'll likely be a lot happier.

You can get a refresher on things you didn't quite get in secondary education without all the stress of being in class/dealing with people. College can be great, but the experience depends heavily on where you go and what major you go for. College is basically far less difficult than high school. Sure the material is harder, but there is less stressful, tedious work. It allows for a freer schedule and a more relaxed learning environment.

I do empathize. Needles don't bother me, but I do experience other anxiety issues.

Anecdotally, I have found that turmeric (curcumin) is an effective remedy to my own anxiety. Turmeric supplements are available OTC in most grocery and drug stores that stock vitamins. I take these.

OP, this is great advice. Is it always the same number she calls from? If tasker is too complicated there is another app that is similar called Automate which is a little more user friendly for someone who doesn't need anything more complicated. Please let me know if you need any help setting it up. Also, good suggestion ananano!

You're a fucking <em>champeen</em> you marvellous asshole.

Girl, (boy?) you're completely on point. Look into pheromones. Most people say they're nonexistent in humans, but I beg to differ. Love my boyfriend's sweaty-ass musk. Keep doin' watchu doin'.

There are a few sites! The most popular (and probably best) is Roll20. It gives you a virtual tabletop and a forum/search engine that you can use to find games -- the virtual tabletop also allows you to voice chat but it's a little unreliable so most people voice chat through Discord.

&#x200B;

You can also check out r/lfg to find groups here on Reddit. Most of them play through Roll20 or Discord too.

Fursuit sex is far less common than CSI would have you think. Only 10-15% of furries own suits, and suits used for sex have to be separate from those used in public. They can also be very expensive, and many who own suits just completely aren't interested in doing those sorts of things. I am certainly not interested in fursuits at all. It happens, but it's by no means common.

Now: Do not attempt to make decisions regarding suicide under the influence of alcohol. It is a depressant and will automatically be influencing your thoughts and decision making processes, trying to loosen you up just enough that you will do something terrible. No, you owe it to the people you think that you've failed - you haven't failed anyone unless you go through with what you are proposing. Even if everything around you is telling you not to continue, you've got an entire thread full of people here, encouraging you, talking to you, and probably asking questions of you that you've been terrified of facing. Only when you have reached absolute zero can you honestly say that each step you make in taking your life back is a success.

You say you measure your worth in the world by your contributions to it? Then ask yourself how you would respond to someone you love and know doesn't see the contributions they've made when they are unable to see this? In my eyes, helping others is a contribution, and if you're someone who has been at rock bottom, then you already possess a perspective on life that those who have never been depressed and suicidal cannot have. Please accept our help and think about your son, not about your own shortcomings.

you might not be going mad, those symptoms could be a lot of things but lack of sleep gives these kinds of wierd symptoms so it doesn't have to be a terrible thing thats gone wrong.

The entry page that opens inside the .onions (TOR's "hidden sites") leads to a hub for many sites that are to be found there. The "CP on/off" switch is on the main page, in the top header. I really think newbies will know what's up. (If you've never been to the Dark Web, go there. It puts an interesting perspective on human existence that you would otherwise only find in a ghetto and under great personal danger. And there are no legal repercussions to be feared.)

But you should look into 5htp, it's natural and easy to buy online (legal). I've tried most of the meds you just listed and didn't like the way they made me feel. 5htp isn't exactly a wonder drug but it works better than anything else I tried and there's NO side effects. Research it, try it out, see what you think.

As for the headache thing, get FLUX, it's weird the first day or so but after that you don't notice it. I have it set to 24/7, not just night times.

I can relate a lot to your post, I'm still depressed and have no motivation to better myself. But the things I listed above made my simple existence more bearable.

Try talking to people online on counselling websites? Maybe try 7 Cups of Tea? They have people on there who are trained to help you, and it has people with specific mental health disorders who can support you and make you feel like you're not alone. It's really great if you need a quick talk with someone... Maybe get on a waiting list and use free online counselling for now?

I think that it is wonderful that you want to help any others in similar situations, but please consider that you may need to spend additional money on fixing/replacing dentures in the near future. Dental coverage is included in the Affordable Care Act and some of the money left over may help pay for a plan to offset later costs.

Learn about upper crossed syndrome.

Head forward posture creates imbalances in the muscles that support your head and shoulders. Causing winged scapula, bursitis, shoulder impingements, etc. Mostly due to Thoracic Outlet Syndrome - caused by nerve compression between first rib and clavicle.

Wow, you are a sweetheart and have afforded me hope that i will one day feel that again with a new show. I am excited to re-evaluate the Spongebob issue knowing what you just told me. I'll bet you are correct and that the show changed on me, not the other way around and I'm going to test that theory.

I'm sorry I had not considered geographic limitations on the availability of streaming shows. If you are unable to stream from Nick Jr's website, then you can try out this little gem to get every episode of every show, including Paw Patrol, and movie the day they premier. If your ISP restricts it you can use a VPN, but it's worth it if you have kids. If you don't have an android TV or some Firestick equivalent (that doesn't have Kodi) you can plug an old laptop into your TV with an HDMI cable (which is what we do); there isn't any apps for other OS, just Android and Windows, It is free and it's very simple to use and navigate (Kodi is so complicated sometimes).

You made my day so I hope you find that little resource useful. Thanks and let me know if need any help with setting up. Oh and sorry if I sounded like a sales rep for TeaTV.

I am a Dane and I speak Danish, English and German. I understand Swedish and Norwegian as well (Everyone in Scandinavia understands each other). I have learned a little Spanish and I honestly find that particular language quite easy to learn. I tried leaning some Portuguese as well and that also seems doable.

The easiest way I have ever tried to learn is by using Duolingo.com... That shit is easier than leaning in a classroom and you can even get an app for your phone. It sounds like it might not be the best way to learn, but trust me, you should try this out. Also Timothy Ferriss has some pretty interesting thoughts on learning new languages. I know he pretty successfully hacked Japanese and learned speech and writing on his own. His method is out there. This is one of his blog posts dealing with learning foreign languages.

There ain't nuttin' to it but to do it...

But what kind of European thoughts were you looking for? I think you're right in what you say, but there are no short cuts. If you want to learn you have to put in the hours. And you have to maintain it as well. Duolingo is great for both of those things, so follow the link and try it out.

uBO enforces EasyList + EasyPrivacy + Peter Lowe's + Malware filter lists out of the box. Optionally, there is a built-in choice of filter lists to pick from. All these filter lists are downloaded from their respective servers, so you get the list as provided by their respective maintainers. You can also tell uBO to use filter lists not available in the build-in set. So it's open-ended about how much it can block.

The main selling point is speed and efficiency. The developer has put together some info that compares uBO against other blockers. Under the charts is a link to how the tests were conducted. Of course it also has many advanced features for users that are so inclined.

Honestly I just got mine on Amazon and I sprung for one that was bigger than 1in thick. I think I have this one (or something extremely similar.)

Bidet I purchased from amazon.

Did you know that there's actually an app for that? I'm sure it's on iPhone too...

Don't do anything hasty.

You're going to have to be honest with both of them again, now.

Just mention that you were really drunk and that you weren't thinking right.

You know what you need to do. Quit drugs. The best way to get rid of a bad habit is to replace it with another habit. Personally I would recommend that you replace it with fitness but ultimately it is up to you. Go read The Power of Habit. It explains how habits work, how it is formed and gives you an easy way of changing it.

Here's my take on it: you're basically having a fantasy supplied by your ego, the part of you that wants to feel like you are 100% in control, the part of you wants to reflexively, unconsciously, grasp for pleasure and avoid pain. It's totally understandable, happens to everyone. Mental health is a spectrum that on the worse side, is getting fixated and completely identifying with the illusory self/ego, egomaniacs who simply act to maximize pleasure and identify themselves with the power that they have to obtain that pleasure.

The thing is most people who grow up in loving and supportive environments also have a strong sense of empathy or compassion.

The good news is that you can actually increase experiences of selfLESS love, decrease unwholesome fantasies like this, by yourself, without seeing a therapist.

A technique called metta meditation might help you experience why this fantasy should bother you more than because of fearing jail. It's actually a very powerful technique to develop a deeper sense of kindness for all living beings, and it's a completely rational way to do it. Side effect: It also will make you happier by feeling more connected, and will improve relationships.

Highly recommend. However, if you want to understand why you are even having the fantasy to begin with, and all that crap about the ego I was talking about, you would need to do some reading and practice insight meditation (basically a method of observing the present moment clearly, your mind and your experience generally improves in the process).

All the best. If i piqued your interest, check out Waking Up by Sam Harris.

Also, it's not the worst thing to have fucked up fantasies as long as you don't act on them. Just know it is possible and very worthwhile in ways you can't imagine to address them directly.

I have a cousin like you... She has horrible self esteem. She does all the stuff you described. It truly breaks my heart... but real talk: noone can stop this cycle except you. Right now you have this script running in your head that is telling you all this stuff and believing in it is causing you to act this way. everything you wrote above you phrased like it's your own bible. your 10 commandments. it's like a computer running a program that causes itself to crash. This can be changed... You need to change this bad programing and replace it with something good and then drill it into your brain through endless repetition...

If you like to read, read Psychocybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. Also Think and Grow Rich by Andrew Carnegie. These books teach you how to change the thoughts in your mind which leads to change in actions.

that's a good short one. although (and I'm sure you've heard of it), l'Etrangere is an easier read. both deal with absurdism, which is one way to wrangle meaninglessness

Nietzsche, while people mislabel him as a nihilist, was not. Thus Spoke Zarathustra reminded me of a previous introductory foray into eastern philosophies (zen, etc).

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was another great book I've read.

but what shook me out of my day-to-day misanthropism and hopelessness was a series of books over a short period of time. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, which infuriated me, and when reflecting upon the anger, I realised that I cared about something. Flowers for Algernon, some philosophical themes but overall I could identify closely with the narrator. and Kurt Vonnegut Jr. made me feel like a human being again: God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian, and the short story Report on the Barnhouse Effect. definitely will use Vonnegut in the future when I fall back into what Nietzsche terms "the abyss"

I encourage you to read Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning." It's about suffering meaningfully, for the sake of achieving something greater--with his patients, it was suffering through the holocaust so they could see their families again. Maybe you can find some great cause to live for.

Sounds like an Isaac Asimov story.

Here it is in full form.

There was a guy years ago who had a method of hacking into phones and listening in on conversations and he transcribed the most interesting of them and published a book.

Acute child-onset "schizophrenia" cost me 1/10th of my grain-volume back in the 1970's & 1980's.

Get the book "Nutrient Power", by researcher William J. Walsh

https://www.amazon.com/Nutrient-Power-Heal-Biochemistry-Brain-ebook/dp/B00J75IQUA/

and if the nicotinamide+folate treatment for your "schizophrenia" ( you are describing overmethylated-DNA disorder, .. mine is mixed undermethylated-DNA disorder combined-with pyrrol-disorder. All 3 disorders are called "schizophrenia" by psychiatry, who rejects the easily-replicable experiments of treating these disorders, & seeing the "schizophrenia" condition vanish : they got an entry in "quackwatch", which means the evidence never need be considered , as ad hominem against Walsh "proves" no evidence exists, there ),

.. then your life is yours , instead of neuro-disorder's property.

Read the book, do the experiment & let the results speak their truth, as actual evidence-based knowing dictates.

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, Hoomin.

This sounds like someone who hasn't read anything I have posted.

You need to see things from my perspective. If for some reason the people you are attracted to would be harmed if you were to engage sexually with them I sure you wouldn't - and neither would I. I am also sure you would not watch anything that contained suffering of any kind for personal enjoyment. Are you telling me that if you found images/videos of your area of attraction in which it is made by them - in which the people you are attracted to are openly inviting you in - you wouldn't view them?

I have made the point repeatedly clear that I did not witness the DIRECT suffering of a child. I pretty much also only saw content created by the children themselves. I also did not pay any money to view these items.

I'd also like to add that I felt intense guilt after viewing anything of this nature.

Now that I have said this I predict that you will accuse me of justifying my actions. I am in absolutely not attempting to do that. What I did was absolutely irrefutably wrong and I have pledged myself to abstain from watching any more. Anyone who watches child porn should immediately stop, and make all attempts to never view it again that they can.

> There are not many professionals that will be disgusted or turn you away, as it is their job. Do not fear to get professional help.

I'm sorry, but this just isn't true. When the very people who specialise in these areas are also forced to hide their identities due to public scrutiny, I think that's a big indicator that many professionals are not mentally or professionally prepared to deal with this kind of situation.

For further information, this article that has been linked to me several times illustrates this picture far better than I can.

I'm a pedophile myself so I know how hard it can be, however, there is hope and you can figure out how to live a happy, healthy life, even with this. Virped is a good place to start. There are a lot of really cool people there. If you're interested in joining the group mentioned in the This American Life piece, unfortunately its pretty much defunct at this point. I was in it pretty much from the beginning (I'm not Adam, although I was in the article version of the story as "Mike"). There were never many people in it and over time those of us who were left folded into the virped group.

So anyway, as I said, there is hope. Don't give up. Keep fighting through it and feel free to PM me if you need to talk.

There is support out there. Read this article. There's a whole network of non-offending pedophiles that will help you. https://medium.com/matter/youre-16-youre-a-pedophile-you-dont-want-to-hurt-anyone-what-do-you-do-now-e11ce4b88bdb

Okay so one of my very close friends, has severe, severe depression, bipolar, and some other stuff. Which means nothing has really ever helped. However, he has recently started doing ketamine treatments. He has never been better, I've seen such a HUGE improvement in him and it makes me sooooooo sooooo happy. And he's happy. It's has essentially not side effects either, other than you get high as a kite for a couple hours. I highly recommend looking in to it and seeing if it's available where you're at. Unfortunately I think it's still a trail thing/not widely used so it may not be super easy to get/expensive. He's been on everything under the sun, sees a therapist, but this has changed his life. Hes been on it for several months now and hasn't had any episodes. Don't give up yet.

This talks about how it works and the like

I was addicted to opiates ( and several other substances) for 20 years this book helped. Suboxone and Methadone made me worse . This book has been a game changer wishing you all the best. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rational-Recovery-Cure-Substance-Addiction/dp/0671528580/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?adgrpid=54934703202&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwrs2XBhDjARIsAHVymmT62KU0y1EDasf3e7CmIkfpqXQpJsK5rkpWLm0N4Gz7KbAjIQMAejkaAkDsEALw_wcB&amp;hvadid=259101647224&amp...

Go to the hardware store and get an electronic rat trap. It take 4 AA batteries. set it in the corner of your room and toss some dog food in there. After it shocks one (and they are quiet when they do), remove the rat and toss it on the front porch. Keep doing this until your mom calls someone.

The one I use in my garage is called Rat Zapper - around $30 but worth it. It's reusable and not messy and it kills rats quickly. Less suffering.

definitely not a healthy habit, maybe try phasing it out and replacing it with something less harmful until you can kick the habit altogether? you could try these things I get from thailand that are menthol and used to open your sinuses. they are intense but they work wonders for a clogged nose. obviously not something you should use all day every day but they definitely might help you stop sniffing stuff thats worse.

Op buy a book called: Family Ties That Bind. It will help you work through your issues.

> They are a few gems in the pile of huge horse shit, but for the most part they are a waste of time.

You could say the same thing about AAA games. Fun games are fun, it doesn't matter what label they carry.

And obviously you have no idea what makes an indie game 'indie.' This is an indie game: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1294225970/kingdom-come-deliverance

Doesn't look like a flash game to me. Try a few of the games in this list, and you'll change your tune.

Well the first think I would do would be to stop being so melodramatic, this isn't that embarrassing, if this is the most embarrassing thing you can imagine happening to anyone you have a poor imagination.

The next think I would do would be to buy lots and lots of penis pumps and sneakily try to place them under the furniture of your friends.

Thirdly write down a list of everyone who has a penis pump under furniture and when people come to you with a penis pump you know they were in on the joke. If you have friends who don't look under there furniture a lot. Find it in there house. From there reaction you can gauge if they know. Reward them and explain everything maybe with a gift. Depending on your friends it will either be funny or they will cut contact which was your original plan anyway so all good.

wow, that's really interesting! i've never heard of it before! myself, i did something called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy. Its for "treatment resistant" depression (i.e. you have tried and failed two or more drugs) and they are currently testing it in the US for anxiety as well. It literally saved my life. Your Psychiatrist puts you in a chair that looks just like a dentist chair and aligns a device similar to a vice grip (but it doesnt hurt at all) around your head. it's placed in a special spot according to some testing they do previously and the device delivers magnetic pulses to a specific spot in your brain. you sit there for 37 minutes. you go 5 days a week for i think its 2.5 months (? i believe). it's a commitment for sure. it doesnt hurt, but i did get a headache in the first week or so. i tried TMS at my doctor's suggestion following 3 mental breakdowns that occurred in an 18 month period (after i learned i was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer). psych meds, therapy, and counseling were not working. i was suicidal. TMS was my "hail mary." i was fortunate to have health insurance that covered the procedure so i committed to the process and gave it a shot. i am thankful every day that i did. not only do i no longer take any kind of depression medication, but i also do not have to take sleep nor anxiety medications anymore. its been the biggest blessing of my life!!!

I used to never pay for train tickets.. Now I do only when I need to or I see ticket collectors. I think everyone's skipped paying for the train once or twice (where I am at least e.e). Anyway, my friend told me it's pretty stupid how we gotta pay to go somewhere, like, if arriving at that destination didn't cost enough. But I can understand that it's the only way railroad company make their money. Bad person? Haha no. Not paying for the train doesn't define you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The message I got from this was the visuals are not an appropriate outlet. I figure you're not a teen anymore, but I love this article. Not an easy life. I wish you the best.

I felt this way after finding The Steam Calculator. I didn't realize how much I really wasn't saving and was mostly embarrassed about how badly I suck at not finishing my games... probably due to the amount of them.

I think this calculator might do the same for you. See how much you really aren't saving in comparison to what you're spending. Maybe quantifying how much of your money is equating into actual entertainment hours might put things into solid perspective which in turn may help you decide how you'd like to go forward.

I think at one point or another, everyone goes through something similar. There is an amazing story in the comic Astro City. It's issue no. 1/2 and the story is called "Nearness of You." I think it's still available on Comixology for free. Your story reminded me of it. Not sure if this link is still valid, but here it is.
