How are you holding up Jow Forums?

I've been better. Girl I loved cheated on and dumped me. Stressed from school. Going shooting this weekend though so there's that.

Am alcoholic with a Jow Forums job and just celebrated losing my 120th pound since deciding Wearing xxl shirts isn’t ok. so I’m on cloud 9 and wouldn’t change a thing. I hope to hear more upbeat updates from my Jow Forumsamareden

Im happy you got your Great Pepa's rifle and am excited that you get to take it out shooting. Make sure you drink plenty of water, you've been working hard lately.

Okay

cool, sounds like a win-win. You get to keep great grandpap's hard earned property in good condition for posterity; and your addict senpai get enough money to take a long poppy nap.

You?

These troubles you have will pass user, do not stress and keep pressing on. You can do it! Remember to wear your PPE while shooting and drink plenty of water

I’m doing ok op, throats a little scratchy, a little aches, might be coming down with a cold. But I’m drinking plenty of fluids and going to bed early tonight. I also started myself on some antibiotics. So I think I’ll be ok.

Good job user, prays for you to continue your success and more fortune and good luck to come to you

I'm making the most money I've ever made in life and could be considered reasonably successful for my age but it's all empty and there's no one to share it with but you goys.

GF cheated on me then left me for the other guy, most of my friends are suicidal for various reasons and I'm the only person holding them together, can't get a good night's sleep due to chronic nightmares, and constantly beating myself up for indirectly killing my best friend and her little brother.

Pretty bad desu
I've finished my coursework for a Bachelor of International Relations (majoring in International Security Studies) and am going to graduate in July. Right now I'm at home, with no job and nothing to study for, and an absurd amount of free time that I'm unable to use for earning money (no job) or pursuing productive hobbies or taking courses (no money).Gun license is gonna have to wait for ages.
My CV has a few months of university mental health volunteering, and volunteering at national security career expos where I was setting up the venues, escorting agency representatives around and doing front-desk greeting stuff. Also got RSA, barista accreditation and kitchen hygiene.
I've applied to dozens/hundreds of jobs, internships and grad programs over the last few months with a well-designed CV but have only heard back from a single place so far (Aldi) which told me I don't have enough experience for a job.
I'm already being told by my parents what I can't do (get a gym membership) with the money I don't have. Dad is constantly attacking me about not having a job and I'm always being told to >knock on doors even though it accomplishes absolutely nothing. I'd have gone straight into the ADF after uni but asthma disqualifies me from active service.
What do I do? I've got no money and no self-sufficiency at all, I'm in this constant state of depression/anger/frustration and I'm finding it extremely difficult to remain optimistic. Laptop is borrowed and from 2007, phone is 5 years old and dying, I can't get my own food (vegan mum + dad is on a diet so I've lost 8kg since October) or a gym membership. I can't even go for welfare in the meantime because I fail any means tests out there. I'm living at home right now and Dad is a high earner. I know people have gotten through situations much worse than this, and I still have a roof over my head and (limited) food, but it seriously sucks and I feel my mental health getting worse every day.

You are a good friend user, your troubles will pass and all will be well. I pray that you find forgiveness for yourself and for your heart. Stay strong user

temp agency in the meantime, and keep applying for jobs even while you are working for them

Who do you think so?

just drank some water and am going to bed, cheers user.

user, you are not alone and your struggles will pass. You are a smart user and will figure something out and keep pressing. Do not let your dad discourage you. You can do it user

Have you tried a job placement agency?

Depressed because of certain existential reasons, have been for a long time so nothing new. Also, I think I might have some sort of neuro degenerative disorder, it being ms. Hard to diagnose. It might not be that but I know I have something, it’s not in my head, I know how I feel and also the measurable strength I’ve lost over the past 1.5 years.
Other than that bf has been fairly distant for a while now.

yeah I'm told that when he got older he gave no shits about game laws and would poach deer with this rifle all the time. he died when I was 7 or 8 but I like to think he would be happy to see that his rifle is still spitting lead. cheers user

If it makes you feel any better I stole my wife away from her childhood friend. Apparently he had big plans for the both of them after he got back from basic training in the Navy. I hung out with her while he was away and took her virginity. He was sour about it so I used to send him my dick pics and pictures of us having sex. He never killed himself but he did start taking meth and get tossed out of the Navy. So hang in there bud.

Tried to work things out with my old lady after some bullshit with her gave me a trip to the looney bin and then 24 days in jail. Sitting here with no charges and after losing my career I found a better paying job doing something less stressful.
Trying to stay positive but things are falling apart every day. I'm here for the kids but I need to put myself first in order to be a good father.
In all reality it'll be hard to rearrange my life and I'm being complacent. I know I'll be happier without the every day ups and downs.
It's been 9 years of good and bad but I dont trust her anymore.

onward and upward, user

Much good with the career user. I hope you and your lady grow closer and I wish you both long health and love

I'm trying, man. This break-up shit has got me down though. She said she was leaving me because I wouldn't stop singing "I'm a believer," but I had no idea she was serious...
And then I saw her face.

I had a similar situation with my wife but luckily we managed to keep the police out of it. I begged did everything I could imagine and she was just a cold bitch. So one night I just held her down and pounded away with my dick. I thought she would cry rape but she loved it so I just kept doing it every night. In truth I feel like shit, I feel nothing for her, but she has never been happier. Honestly she disgusts me, living only for pleasure, bragging to her friend about our sex and telling everyone my dick is huge. I really fucking hate it, no joke. I just want to be her husband and a kind father.

Broke, drunk out of smokes and food...
At least I still have a little ammo.

You are smart, handsome, kind, funny user. You find one gf you find another. You can I do it, I believe in you! press on

Fuck this bitch, shes a dumb bitch that has no sense of self reliance deep in the victim mindset. I'm 28 years old and I dont need some bitch running my life like shes tried. I came back for my children and my guns that got ex parte'd.
Raifu>Waifu every time lads.

When I was much younger and dumber I actually thought that calling the cops was a good idea. Her parents were abusive but she told me the situation at home was livable and not to tell anyone. I couldn't stand how they were treating her and her brother and called the police, but all they did was show up, ask a few questions and leave. Her parents thought that one of them had called the cops so they doubled down on mistreating them both, it got so bad that her brother hung himself. The next time I saw her she told me that it was all my fault, then made me watch her shoot herself.

Dude that's not your fault.

The police serve the sate. Sometimes very seldomly do your interests intersect with the state. My friend had a dad that would slap his mom when she broke something. It would happen once a month or so. His sister called the cops one night and told them. Ten thousand dollars in legal fees later my friend family lost their house, car, and the fathers job. I set them back like a natural disaster with no insurance. They father was now a felon etc etc.

holy shit that escalated quickly

Struggling with depression
Exercising, losing weight, eating right, being productive- world is still grey. Still feel constant pressure/stress on every side. Don't even enjoy eating and sex the way I used to.
Can't go to doctor without risking my funs

Of all places Jow Forums might be the only one that understands.

I hope so, but it's been hard for me to find a gf since I had the whole left side of my body amputated last year...
I'm all right now though.

lol. thanks for your benis

I'm 27 years old, work my dream job, live comfortably, have great friends that I shoot with regularly and have a great private range to do it at.

But somehow I always feel like I should be striving towards something more, and doing something better.

I just feel like I'm no longer making forward progress in life and stagnating and I don't know how to deal with that.

I know, but if that weren't enough, my new boss has always got a bone to pick with me...
I guess I'd better femur careful around him.

My boss is a 30 something bully, I want to bunch him in the face, but I have to keep my job for just a few more months and I don't want to end up in jail. Sigh. If it wasn't for the range, muay Thai, and the gym I'd go insane out here. I fucking hate Cali, I can't wait to fucking leave this hell. Also, dating out here is a fucking nightmare, I'm about ready to just give up and fuck this fat chick that wants to bang.

Got your own home or renting?
Put it in a Trust after you pay it off so some bitch can't get it in a divorce.
Find a loyal woman and make babies.
Having kids will temper you though.

If you want to be politically active in the Liberty movement, wait on starting a family until you can guarantee their physical and financial Security.

>I'm about ready to just give up and fuck this fat chick that wants to bang.
don't sacrifice your standards

I live in Phoenix right now.

Thanks. Where's a good place to fish for salmon? I thought of taking a charter in fear of being mauled by bears.

I hurt my shoulder at work not sure what is wrong with and my PC's hard drive got corrupted but at least it is still on a warranty

I here ya man, but it's been since August and I'm fucking tense. Part of the reason that it's been so long is I won't compromise with some fucking pothead or some woman that doesn't have her shit together, but man, I'm getting tense. Great workouts though. That and to be real, I'm lonely. I feel like I'm the only one that isn't stoned 24/7 out here in Cali so I just don't git in, that and being a gun owner, leaning right. I tell myself to wait until I get back to AZ, but man, something is going to give. Just fucking sucks, I just want out, I miss my kids, I miss the cheaper housing, the better people, all of it.

Been since August actually, or September now that I think about it. Still, all this exercise isn't enough for a release, I'm jacking off more than when I was a teenager, on my rest days that's all I do, Sunday is just basically me jerking it and taking a nap. Would be nice to go to the fun range or a hike with a woman on the weekends and then sex when we get back. Is that so much to ask for? Out here it seems to be, fuck me, I just gotta hold on for three fucking months, that's it, just three fucking months.

I'm almost 22, I have no friends in real life, never had a girlfriend, don't care about guns anymore but still come here because it's the only board I can relate to. Used to be big into videogames, they're all packed away in boxes in my closet now, don't care about them at all. Don't care about anime anymore. I just don't care.
I've tried anti depressants, they just make me suicidal, so I don't take them. I've taken too many at this point and I'm not going to take anymore.
I've wasted all of my youth on this computer, alone in my room, and this will be the death of me. The walls are slowly caving in on me and it's suffocating me spiritually. I have no clue how to better myself because of my living situation and where I live. I don't know what I want anymore.
I want friends and a girlfriend, but not here. I don't want to be here. I hate this place so goddamn much it makes me scream with rage. I recklessly drive home from work, sometimes hitting over 100 in my car. It's like I'm hoping to die. Anything to break up the soul crushing monotony that is my life. I'm not important to anyone or anything in this world.

I'm moving tomorrow, and kind of excited about it. Moving into bicycle distance of work and school, which will make it a lot easier doing both (I hate driving). Graduate this fall, and pretty excited to get into a professional-level position. Career field I'm going into pays shit, but I love what I do (librarian/archivist).

Also just started an internship at the U.S. Air Force Academies' Archive, which is pretty awesome work (be it unpaid). Processing a collection on Aerial Photography and Photo Interpretation during World War I, nothing but primary source material. Pic related is from the internship.

In summary, life is pretty awesome these days, took a lot of time and work to find my way, but you can "fake it until you make it".

Double-down on your education OP, seems you like the work and staying busy. In such social sciences, it is pretty damn hard to get a job on a bachelors alone with no relevant experience.

If you do decide to do grad-school, ask your instructors if they know of any entry-level jobs or internships (they have a better and more relevant network than you). Been working for nearly my entire time in grad-school because I simply asked.

Best of luck OP.

Vitamin D and magnesium. If you smoke weed, stop smoking weed.

a few weeks ago I had possibly the shittiest week of my life. I found out that I'm not graduating this semester, my car wouldn't start, and my girlfriend of 6 months broke up with me, all of this on my birthday. I wish I were making this up.

Fast forward to now and I'm still single, but the car's fixed, I'm about to start a new job, and I've cemented plans to go to a convention with friends in a couple months. So things are looking up for me now, thankfully, but I was so fucking depressed and there were days where I couldn't even muster the energy to pick myself up out of bed.

Just remember we're all gonna make it guys

If you have the money, seek a therapist.
I'm serious, just take one session at least, maybe another if you don't think the therapist "clicks" with you. It sounds just like what you need.

Classes are getting harder, have to find a mandatory internship, and my allergies are being set off with the seasonal change; however, I recently bought myself a 10/22 and am going to sign up at a range and get better at shooting, so I am pretty excited to get into this

Whenever I feel down, I just drive around in my paid-off car, look at destitute people and degenerates, smile behind my tinted windows, and keep driving. Picks me right back up.

I've intermittently gone to therapy over the last 6 years. Tried multiple different therapists. It doesn't help. I get more help from talking to anons on Jow Forums than I do having a therapist talk to me.
I just wish my life hadn't been fucked over while I was a teenager. I doubt I'll ever recover from this.

>In such social sciences, it is pretty damn hard to get a job on a bachelors alone with no relevant experience.

Different poster here, almost out and this definitely seems like the case. Afraid if I go back it'll be something like it is now, except I'll have invested much more time into it though. Was it like that for you or did it feel like going back opened more doors?

Writing daily in a journal can help. Even just a few sentences. I've felt that before, the feeling of being trapped in what you are doing. Stuck to the computer. Write about it and you'll be surprised. And your situation doesn't make you less important. You're really young. Things can change.

I did undergrad in history, and I don't regret it. It was very apparent going into the degree that job placement would be difficult, if not teaching public education (which is alarming in itself).

>Was it like that for you or did it feel like going back opened more doors?

Absolutely, you just need to try and get ahead of it before hitting quick-sand. I applied to the most expensive degree program in the country ( for local reasons), and was nearly sure I'd get rejected.

I got accepted and a $40K scholarship.

Just show you care, that you are professional investment to your instructors and their/your field at large.

I never went to school for history thinking I'd turn into a librarian/archivist, just found a niche for myself the same way you can.

Have to admit though, jumping into grad-school right after undergrad is a real kick in the balls come 2nd year. Don't rush (most in my program finished undergrad 5-10 years ago), and just look for how you can maximize your profession and personal passion. Find your niche, and make it meaningful to others. Also realize that a lot of people in the profession that you are chasing are passionate about what they do, and are normally more than happy to nurture the next generation in their field.

I'm finishing school getting scouted for a profession that is below normal growth according to Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Best of luck no matter the path you take.
