>in a long distance relationship
>also giving up porn and masturbation for lent
>can't hit on girls OR watch porn OR have sex

why give up on masturbating?

I've been walking up and down the stairwell in my dorm to get excercise because I'm too autistic to run in public or go to the gym.

Baby steps, ruh-right guys?

Hey user, proud of you I'm not really improving yet but am tryi g to get Jow Forums I just abandon working out though, im not fat though just skinny

Good job on getting better at life user. I'm not really doing anything to self-improve

instead of actually masturbating some people think it's better to just masturbate their ego on Jow Forums

I'm improving, sure, but I feel like a fucking scumbag regardless. I handle myself well around people, but then I still fuck up regardless of alcohol. The worst part is no one gives me any advice on improvement, because in their eyes my problems aren't really problems, but I still think I act wrongly. Any advice? I don't want to continue this way

oh dear

>can't sleep properly, have never been able to solve this
Fixing this could probably fix a lot of other issues user. I've dealt with the inability to get restful sleep for a long time. It's gotten to the point that some nights I eat a few benadryl to help me pass out. I'm always half-tired and miserable in the mornings, and running on steam by the end of the work day.
If you have the financial means to do so, I would recommend getting a sleep study done if you haven't already.

self-improvement tip that has helped me a lot

If you always put off starting things (studying, practicing a hobby, etc.) make yourself do it anyway, but for just 15 minutes. The majority of the time you will get comfortable and feel like doing it more, but if you don't, at least you put in 15 minutes.

If you weren't so high maybe you could've read his post properly.

Well here goes boss

Went from 215 to 200 pounds, desired goal was 185 but added muscle over fat.
Only hygiene issue comes from medicine which increases sweat production and natural body odor aromas so fucked in that department regardless of bathing/deoderants.
Still no job because physically disabled.
Reading more than last year.
Saving up for a trip with disability bux.

that's certainly a good idea. as of right now I have no health care, but I'll look into it regardless. the dark circles under my eyes have become such a part of my look I can't remember a time without them. thanks for the advice, user!

Thanks brudda this is a good post

Lack of exercise for years is totally fucking up my back, sleep pattern and making me look awful. Going to spend the next couple of months finding exercises I enjoy but why is everything so expensive?

Guys, I genuinely love this thread. We need more of this sort of thing, shit that actually turns people around instead of making them fuck off harder.

This works because I did it. I've self improved enough that I think tonight has to be my final night here. We got the QT super sweet thicc goth gf, our dream job where we spend the day happy to be working, I have hobbies and a great space that I moved out to. Its rare that I'm in on my computer at night, its now nearly every night I'm out at a concert or a get together or a date. I was a grade A self destructive adrenaline addict with trust issues and we did it. Believe in yourselves anons

It was a pleasure to be among you, R9K.

It's something.

Could unironically be leukemia if you just bleed more than you should in general.

Real GO-GETTER keep it up.

Driving feels so much better when there's the additional component of having to shift. I hope I stop looking like an idiot and stalling the car by next month.

You can't control these external things - women, dreams. Unfortunately bad things befall us even as we rise. But I promise you your path will improve in the aggregate. I believe in you!

This is actually a lot. You untangled a mess of problems which would break a lesser person. Though it seems modest now, you've set yourself up to grow, and consistent growth is better than some windfall of fortune. Good job user!

>down 53 pounds
You're doing very good!
I'll give you more tips for acne:
Wash your sheets and pillows once a week, cut a little bit of dairy out of your diet, pick up a bottle of skinhairnails supplements, use moisturizer on your face after washing always, buy korean face masks and use one once a week, pick up and use aztec indian healing clay once a month too. Best of luck, I'm rooting for you and anyone else who reads this!

Baby steps user, you can do it.

If your job has a pathway to programming, you should consider some online programming bootcamps, how about web development? It is relatively easier and you can easily apply the skills learnt in web dev in other programming domains too.
