Life Advice Thread

OCD and perfectionism
You should build something until it is perfect
that is the only cure to your gift

Older user here. Been on Yas Forums since 2011, which isn't the longest but it's been awhile. My advice is to kill yourselves. I'm not joking. Nothing is very much fun anymore.

>Should I actually consider the SSRI-Jew?
No.

>what the fuck should I do with my life? I have a science degree but hate it.
Use your degree to get in the game. Stop thinking work is supposed to be fun and interesting and fulfilling - it's a god-damned job, and it pays the bills.

My advice, based on my life:
1. Don't let go of what you have, because you may never get it back.
2. Health is number one. You are not immortal, so stop your bad habits now. Get off the onions and eat red meat and exercise.
3. Work is freedom. Because work gives you money, and money gives you choices in life. Poorfags have limited options. Work and make money and then you can find yourself.
4. Educate yourself. Start with the ancient greeks. Learn from the Western tradition. There is nothing you will encounter in your life that a great mind has not pondered and written about before. Seek western wisdom.
5. Maintain the basics. Brush your teeth, pay your bills on time, send your grandmother a card, go to bed at a reasonable hour. The Jew wants you to embrace chaos - don't do it. Chaos is death. Order is life.
6. Do not complain, and do not focus on your limitations. If there is something you cannot do or are really bad at, and you want to do it, then practice. Try. Nothing is beyond you if you apply yourself.

imagine being this faggot.

Woah.... this is powerful

oh, that's mean

My advice is to take lots of Klonopin for a few years, then quit cold turkey. If it's too uncomfortable, you can go to Russia where the doctors will put you in a coma so that when you wake up you'll have brain damage.

I want to get involved in politics and eventually tun for local office. I want to pursue a degree in political science but the money aspect is killing me. I'm at a community college right now, I've been on and off academic suspension, but got accepted to a decent four year college. I'm depressed every night because I have no idea what I'm going to do. Tuition is not a problem, it's just how much money I'd be making with the degree. Part of me says pursue your passion, the other says drop out and join the trades or something. What the fuck am I supposed to do guys.

Drop out and huff helium through a cpap mask.

1. Be born into a reasonably wealthy family
2. Be good looking (top 10% at least)
3. Have good health genetics
4. kill urself if u dont have those

can I ask one more question kind gentlesir? I see you're also a disciple of Christ, I want to ask you as both a human and a Christian, am I wrong to want to get a hair transplant? My self-image and vision for the future does not involve me balding in the future (which I will, as I have my maternal grandfather's genes who went almost completely bald on top). I have almost all of my hair now but don't want to lose it. Can I make a choice like this? I think God wouldn't want me to, and I think I'd also feel like a fake person!

Yeah, go for the SSRI and/or a beta blocker. It legitimately helps.

You're American and you weren't born rich. Politics isn't going to be the place for you.

You children think you have a future despite the evidence all around you. The coward in you will get you on SSRIs, going to college, making children with a turdwhore on an iPhone and so on.

Absolute trash people.

What does it even do? Just make you less depressed? Have you tried them?

This.

If I was a ballon, I would consider

> It legitimately helps.
sure thing Chaim

Just double major, user. Or just dont do political science because it's basically worthless. If you want to know how to manage as a politician then study economics or finance with emphasis on statistics. Also, learn a language.
Trades is also a fine route. Basically, figure out a route that will ensure you a good life and go for your aspirations from there.

Burning out and taking years off work/study is perfectly normal and healthy and when you’re ready to get back in the game you will be ready

I will pray for you to be realistic.

So I'm over 30, for age-context, and got on them a few years ago.
If you have OCD like my version, you'll know what I mean when I say "The poison". The beta blockers stop the poison. So in the past when I'd have that first rush of poison, I knew I was about to start spiraling. Now I just pop a propranolol and it stops it from going full downhill. They don't affect my thoughts, just the physical symptoms that make the thoughts worse.
The Ssris it's hard to describe. They don't make me happy or sad, and I still feel all my normal emotions, all that really changes when I'm on them is that it's easier to fight the obessions.

I was planning on moving to a rural majority Republican district in my state and then running for state representative or something. Doesn't seem that hard unless there is a lot of competition. My uncle was a state representative in the 90s and that's basically what he did. He was a farmer and was reelected quite a few times. I would agree that you need to be rich when it comes to national politics, but state politics, not considering bigger and richer states like NY or cali, doesn't really require you to be rich or powerful as a given; it would certainly help though. Since I live in flyover country in a state with not that many people, I don't think it would be that much of a challenge to obtain positions in state or local government; especially if demographics and voting patterns play in your favor.

>caring about hair, of all things?
>impermanence, ponder and prioritize accordingly

Don't fuck with your brain chemistry unless it is absolutely necessary. Unless you cannot function, or want to kys, just don't. You'll just be quirky, embrace it, who gives a fuck?

For me lately I've developed horrendous chest and back pain because the obsessive anxiety is so bad. It's all over hair loss right now. I can't choose whether to treat it (the hair loss) or not because I legitimately don't know if I should fake something about myself like that, and my OCD is making me obsess over this problem nonstop.

I think I have to see a psych and do CBT at least. Have you done that? I'll go on meds if it doesn't work enough, or if I find that the meds are generally safe. I just hate the idea of being dependent on medication my whole life

Seconding this. I'm literally the guy who just recommended drugs and even I'm in the camp of "Don't do it unless you really need help".

The guy in your gif cared about his hair loss so much he scarred his head 3 times with surgeries and now dyes his hair blond over tanned skin because his remaining hair is so sparse and combed over.

Anyway, yeah hair loss is killing me. It makes me feel like I'm prematurely aging. As for the OCD I can probably manage it with self-therapy. It was never bad in school

Try a psychologist and a beta blocker. The back pain is a physical manifestation of stress, and your OCD is fixating on your hair because it's something you think you can control or fix. It's not worth it, man. Don't do the hair plugs. If you do, you're giving into the compulsion and it's just gonna get worse. Trust me. I have scars on my hands from giving in to my own compulsions.

I assume you want to be paid well? That is a function of convincing others you serve extremely niche needs very well. You'll be paid by applying to jobs where you serve as many people as possible multiplied by the difficulty of the service.
Consider cloud services - I'll leave the rest to you....

Crazy how similar my story is.
I was diagnosed w OCD when I was 15. I'm 24 now, and I obsess over perceived hair loss that isn't happening.
I drive Uber all day, it helps keep my mind off of it.

Try doing focal meditation everyday for an hour. I sit in a chair and stare at a stone on an empty table in my room, trying to focus my attention on the object. Has helped tremendously with my OCD.

Well I wish mine wasn't actually happening. To be fair though right now it's completely undetectable. The hairline corners are thin but are easily covered. I went to a doc who did a density test and confirmed I will one day lose all of it. Wanted to fucking die when I left the office in shock. Now I can't even choose to hop on drug treatment to stop it because I think I'd feel like a fraud and also heard OCD'ers have a good chance of irreversibly fucking themselves over with finasteride.

I'll give it a shot.

Try Tetris or a match three game if you need help getting into practice.

this. hes like a fat lex luthor

I mean mine has thinned a bit from losing weight rapidly, but it's crazy how I can spend 12 hours a day obsessing over something like that.
You can get an Rx for propecia online now, I can't in my state unfortunatley, but I would give it a shot.

> also heard OCD'ers have a good chance of irreversibly fucking themselves over with finasteride.
What do you mean? I heard it makes you impotent, but I would rather have my hair. I'm vain af. But I think vanity comes w/ being a fag.

>precisely my point

If it not a big deal and it will make you feel better about yourself, by all means, get a hair transplant (please do research first). I would only question why you care so much about a inconsequential thing that you can't control. I mean, if your genetically large, are you going to have lap band surgery? When does it end? No one is physically perfect. You have to find a balance, improve what you can, but accept yourself as being imperfect. Just my opinion.

Try niacin, bro. Make sure you're getting enough vitamin D too. This will actually fix the OCD.

I have imperfections and really do accept myself. I've never obsessed over appearance before. It's just that losing all my hair on top of that is way beyond what I'd care to tolerate

I have both in my cabinet. Are you serious? I highly doubt they'll do anything

do not listen to anyone from the internet. Especially this cuck board.

Flaxseed Oil helps w/ mood, also Natural Vitality Calm helps w/ anxiety. Also CBD.

You just created a paradox you silly man

Not a paradox. Do not listen to incels. This board is full of them. Including you. In fact don't listen to me. Seriously don't listen to people on the internet unless you know what they look like.

> unless you know what they look like
This.

Life advice? Stop watching fucktards like Alex Jones. Make some friends and not just autist ones. Get a sense of humour. Hit the gym. If your pathetic wallowing has not subsided by then, consider medication. Fuck, the answers are so obvious.

NO user. Do not take drugs to fix real world problems, it's just a band aid. The change you seek can only come from within.

You need to address the underlying problems, whatever they may be. Work on social skills, be nice to your fellow humans, work on self talk hygiene if you are struggling with negative emotion and thoughts, this 'my ocd' won't let me do it is fucking garbage.

I've had 5-6 diagnosis over my life. All bullshit. Conduct disorder / ADD as a kid. I've just got allot of psychopathic traits, almost enough to be diagnosed. It's a fucking super power I was genetically gifted by my ancestors to deal with violence and livestock raids. But like any super power, it took a long time for me to control and cope with.

You can control your thoughts, your OCD and all of your problems, it will be a slow process, it may require continual work for the rest of your life, but you can do it, because I'm fucking retarded and I did it.

Best tip I have is to listen to these motherfuckers everyday instead of music. Everyday while driving or commuting, I've got my Greek bro's whispering me sweet nothings. Oh, and daily dose of GOGGINS will help you get the exercise done.

Seriously, do it you fucking pussy. No more excuses.

youre so far ahead of most people with the degree

1. Make something stupid, like a doggie collar blockchain GPS tracker

2. Move to a tech hub and collect dummy VC startup money.

3. Get acquired after 2 years

4. Move to VT with cutie asian GF whos pretty much only with you bcuz of the money + tech clout but w/e she knows she better swallow.

Im in the process of step 3, don't underestimate yourself. Your weaknesses can be strengths if channeled correctly.
