Biology. I'll be doing research into gut microbes.
>>26647952

One bit of advice, PhDs are awfully lonely. It is imperative that you attempt to make some friends or you will lose your shit.

Thanks for the advice. I know another guy in the labs so I won't be alone all the time.

That IBS and anxiety work together, if you get rid of the anxiety / depression combo the IBS should fiw itself.
>>26648062
Yes, my bowel was OK when I had a job during summer, or when I was in vacation when I was younger.
But sometimes I ask myself: Am I anxious because of my bowel syndrome or is it my bowel syndrome and the fear of shitting myself (happened once) that makes me anxious?

Men are neck-deep in pussy all the time. Women get old and their vagina is ravaged by sleeping with so many guys, so of course they're lonely.
25. Not too well.
I only receive signs that suicide is the most logical end to what accounts of my personal existence. No matter what I do to improve my state or position, I am only ever reinforced that there is no other option. I first began having suicidal thoughts at the age of nine years old, and went through a hellish childhood and upbringing that I would not wish for anybody.
Through various circumstances as I grew older, I was able to clear the chemical imbalances that cause suicidal thought to be intrusive at all times to a mere fraction of the occurrence, usually when specific stimuli are present. I recently completed my Bachelor's and I am waiting to hear back about acceptance into a Master's program. I had help from a professor of mine in obtaining a local job/internship--something to do in the mean time--but that seems to have fallen through. I have very little savings and too many mental deficiencies to ever successfully function in a normal, typical minimum wage type job. I have not a clue what I am supposed to do in regards to obtaining a job--even something small and part-time would work as I only need a basic income--and while I could survive until the Fall, I will be forced to end myself if I do not get into post-secondary school. I have always been incredibly poor and have always had very little, next-to-nothing. I'm tired of living an entire life this way, stuck in this hole that I can never seem to crawl out of. While I actually enjoy my life at the moment--financial woes aside--you cannot logically maintain existence with no currency, unfortunately.
I feel very fucked up that I have no chemical desire to die yet rationalization declares it to be the best method available to me.
>>26648056
oh and TRY (don't force) to go to as many conferences as you can, best perk of the job depending on how you are funded.
25 still
I can't handle it. I managed to get to uni, and although end of next spring I will have my BS, it's surreal. 90% of the students are on-track normalfags that just walk around having fun, friends, talking, etc. Most of them have cars and travel outside of the country during their summers or even winters. I literally can't understand how good of a life they have, and yet how stupid they all are. My housemate is a normie, and he spends like 6 hours a day doing work, minimum. Not a meme degree either, he's Mechanical Engineering. I'm Electrical and most of this program is a fucking joke despite kids getting an average of like 3/5 on quizzes that are 100% identical to homework. This uni is fucking garbage too, I wish CC's went up higher.
For most of January I was on a slightly higher dosage of my MAOI (phenelzine). It started causing me heavy body pain, sedation, etc. Soon I'll get a bottle of methylated folic acid. It's only helpful if you have a genetic disorder, but the genetic disorder prevents you from producing enough monoamines, as well as some other things which do run in my family. Ironically the treatment is far cheaper than the test, so I just bought a bottle of high-strength stuff and will test small amounts before escalating.

I've done literally everything I can guys. I got into really good shape, got the nicest clothes, a good haircut, I look better and taller than the majority of guys I'm going up against.....and still nothing. Went out with friends a few times to bars and no matter how much I drank I could not loosen up and girls notice right away I'm autistic and shy. Feeling pretty hopeless lately, I tried my best but it isn't enough to get at least an average looking thin gf I guess.

Same here. Our awful upbringing has condemned us to a life of loneliness. What is the point when all a woman cares about it how charismatic you are; they won't even give you a chance if you behave slightly awkwardly.

Something isn;t right. When I go to the mall I see single mothers with their loser boyfriends that knocked them up and I destroy them in every category, yet they have reproduced and I haven't even kissed a girl. It makes no sense to me at all. I feel like I'm being trolled irl.

There are a few people older than me but not many and the ones that are older are all experienced in life and have families and relationships. I have less positive life experience than the fucking 18 year olds.

I've finished cc 2 years ago at 23.
I can't find courage to kill myself
>>26650831
Anyone relate to this?
have you guys found a job?
26. Starting a new job in a few days. Hopefully it will make me feel less depressed.
If it doesn't work out, I have a backup plan.suicide
I don't really know what I'm doing with my life. I don't really see the point of life. I just... exist.

>>26651592
i smoke weed very rarely because in Poland it's expensive and they sell little amounts and mostly because i'm tired of lying to my mother and taking her money (single parent poor kid) but actually these two days when i'm high a little gets me going through two weeks of constant depression, i'm thoughts that i will be high in future are my only reason to live, only then i'm ok with myself and happy even though i have such shitty life plus i don't feel this irritable bowel syndrome while otherwise i feel constantly nauseating. also when i am sober like for months i develop psychosis and end up in mental asylum. last year they diagnosed me with schizophrenia. I have last semester of studies and need to write master thesis, hopefully after that i will get a job and would get high more often
>>26651846
Damn that sucks, I smoke pretty much every day. Its the only thing that keeps me going besides benzos. You gotta come to the US. $10/g sometimes even $5/g

>>26651893
i know, when i was 20 i worked in Wisconsin bean factory for over 3 months and was constantly high even though it was slave job 10 hours per day, seven days per week and you got days off when they run out off beans in field (they kicked me out for smoking during beaks in the end lol). not to mention that i felt so free without my mom around and met really great stoner friends there that i often reminiscent, i was planning to become illegal but decided to come home to family, i didn't want to become homeless forced to work in some shitty job whole life. i can have same future here but maybe i will make it. i have faith that in future all this evil fucks will die out and things will be better here. also my stoner friend invited me to work in sweden during holidays at some house building maybe i will join him if i postpone my master thesis. idk if i can go to US now because ticket is insanely expensive and my rich uncle kinda lost interest in sponsoring my career after he find out how big loser i am

31. Fucking great. Second kid is on the way. 3rd birthday party for the first one is coming up next month. Little debt outside of a home mortgage, but I'd rather pay myself rent than someone else. Earned enough money that the IRS wants me to cut them a big check.
Was in France and Italy last year for two weeks. Heading to Hawaii in about a month for another two weeks. Louisiana in May.
I never thought life would turn out this good for me. Lucky happens to some people and I happened to be one of them.
I'm pretty sure being over 25 and never having held a job is game over for employment

>>26651288
>Anyone relate to this?
Yes.
>have you guys found a job?
Yes. I applied for a bunch of shit jobs and after a few months I got hired to watch retired normal scum swim all day. Near min wage and part time, but I don't really do any work which is nice. I feel terrible because it took me months to find and get this job. I'm 28 and all my coworkers are 16-22, so I really feel like a loser..
>>26652372
I also stay healthy. Both physically and mentally unlike you. You've rotted your brain away with that shitty plant. I've seen two of my friends who smoked weed become brain-dead schitzos from constantly smoking weed.
People like you are a cancer, you are incapable of getting angry or facing the reality of your situation, so you will never rise up to fix it. People like you way the rest of the working and middle class down because of your apathy.
Weed and other drug usage is and was promoted by your corporate masters because it pacifies you and rots your mind away, thus making you easier to exploit.
>>26652565
I got lucky. Does getting lucky suddenly make it easier to relate to people or make friends?

They're quite comfy games in that they take you along a linear story, which is the meat of the game, while leaving you with a fair amount of optional, extra content to tackle if you so wish.
Whereas with Western RPGs I need to be in a mindset of actually wanting to do shit, since the sub-quests are actually the meat of the game and the main questline is usually not that meaty (Morrowind aside).
That and there's just something really pleasant about the science-fantasy environments in FF games. They create worlds you'd like to inhabit.

Ok, robot.
I don't know if you're on the spectrum or not, but I actually was special ed growing up and a lot of interaction still makes me uncomfortable. Particularly busy, crowded, places and loud noises.
Anyone can learn to talk to people. There are techniques to make people like you. I spent the first 20 years of my life staring at my feet. If you want, you can spend the rest of your life doing the same thing.

it's easy to get on antidepressants. just go to a hospital and tell them about your depression and they will give you a script. this is how it is in the u.s. For me mental health care has actually been very easy to come by in the u.s. even without insurance. If you like acting but you're not very good at it or you don't have the confidence for it i would suggest working on the crew side of things. I liked acting in h.s. but i was never good looking and i can't sing or dance so i figured acting was pretty unreasonable or it would make unreasonable demands of me. I like theater so i've worked back stage and i find that the production of plays is a lot more interesting than being in plays. at this point i see actors as kind of a trifling nuisance. I would like to do some experimental puppet theater really but that is just too niche...anyway hope you get better.

thanks for the insight anon. I'm not from the US, but I'll get to that anyway to give me a little boost, since the self-loathing depressing hours have been escalating dangerously as of late.
I think that working in a backstage theater/movie set would be nice too. I'll definetly look into that once I'm done with this course. I'd already stopped going if it wasn't for my dad paying for it, don't want to disappoint him

If you are fit and dress nice and look good, just use Tinder. Just put up 3 good pics of you and a two sentence bio that isn't beta. The girls only care about looks anyway. Then you can take however long you want to decide what to say to the girls so you don't spaghetti.

I want to gtfo and change my life, I just don't know how to change the current rut I've been stuck in since 18.
I thought things would've changed when I was 22, but time went by so quickly, I don't know anymore. I'm scared, and I want to change, but it feels like I can't.

Try new things.
For example, if I had got a chance to do it over again, then would go back to school and take photography and learn photoshop. I'd also take some journalism classes and try to end up writing for the school newspaper.
That's what Im planning on doing now, but it wouldve been easier and less cringey when I was 23-25. Now Im 28 and going back to community college.
D o things that have you building a portfolio of your work that you can show others. It also helps if your work required collaboration with others.
I already have a BA in political science, but nobody is going to want to look at samples of my 20 page term papers besides other miserable academics.

How? Just get an internship at a sociological or a marketing agency. If you are anglo scum, you probably have a large NGO sector too. In my 3rd year I started working for Ernst and Young and then I went to a startup for financial analysis.

I'll be 26 in a few months.
My family think I'm gay because I don't have a gf. Last time I touched a girl was about 5 years ago.Don't worry robots, I'm still a virgin.I've had only one relationship in my life and I was 17 at the time, it lasted about a month then I broke it up.
I don't crave for gf, but sometimes I do wish I had one. There's some heavy stuff I have to carry everyday and I wouldn't feel comfortable if I had to share or ignore it in favor of somebody else.
Have job, but dropped out 2-3 years ago. I don't earn much and don't really have motivation to change tho.
>>26656719
No idea, but it's a disorder that is often linked to stress and anxiety so maybe that's why therapy and relaxation/meditation helped them. The 4X acquaintance is a woman and she's very stressed because of her job (policewoman); the 6X is an architect and his source of stress/anxiety are his two sons, they have some mental health issues.

being a neet at 28/29 going into 30 was the worst for me.
I felt like it was just a milestone in life, turning 30, and here I was with nothing to show for it and how much of a disappointment I was to my family.
Worrying where the rent money was coming from was always the worst.
But now, I work full time and have a little money left over to spare every month...which is nice....I just wish I had some time to myself.
Its a trade off I guess, whether you prefer being a disappointment (if it bothers you that is) or if you'd rather spend most of your waking hours working...

>>26647807
I'm 48 and life is good. I have no money, everything I own can fit in a backpack, and I sleep on a piece of foam in a bare, concrete, unfinished basement in the century-old building of what used to be a factory. I have no stove, no fridge, and no shower; I take sponge baths in the sink. I have no close friends and no family which gives a shit whether I live or die.
So why is my life good? Because I also have no debts, no car, no mortgage, no spouse, no kids, and no responsibilities beyond what I choose to take on myself. Despite being a robot and living with severe and untreatable clinical depression, social anxiety, and all the rest, I decided that I wouldn't let any of those things stop me from doing what I wanted to do with my life. As a result, I am well-respected in my field, have run for public office, made the national news multiple times, hosted two different radio shows, and have a Wikipedia article written about me.
There is no reason except existential cowardice that robots can't have gloriously weird and unconventional lives which are both fulfilling and useful.

Well, right now I'm renovating a union hall. I knew nothing about renovation but this has been my dream for about 15 years, to have a storefront union hall which doubles as a sort of museum and cultural centre. The place had been empty and abandoned for ten years before I got here, and it was full of toxic mold. I disinfected everything, fixed holes in the floors and walls, and made furniture from old shipping pallets when I couldn't carry stuff salvaged from dumpsters on my back.
I'll probably be occupied with this for a few years. After that... who knows. I let the Universe offer things to me and accept them fearlessly as they come. That's the way to a full and satisfying life.

It's a brutal world brother. Dog eats dog. The weak are trampled and forgotten.
When push comes to shove you have to choose between your own survival, and worrying what people think about you. Look the way you have to look. Say the lines you have to say. Do the work you have to do. Make it completely impersonal. You're not trying to be somebody; you're not trying to live up to anything; you're doing what you have to do to survive, and that's all it is.
>>26659064
Dunno what to tell you, man. My life has been pretty satisfying, and I've lived my whole life this way. Thoroughly enjoyed, would recommend. That's not to say my life has been safe, comfortable, or even fun. There's been a lot of misery, hardship, and periods of homelessness along the way. But it's been an interesting and entertaining experience, and I've sucked the marrow from the bones of life, bother the bitter and the sweet.
I'm a robot, I was never going to be able to hold down a 9 to 5 job, raise a family, and live in some generic suburb. I decided that if I was going to be rejected by my society, that I would make my *own* life with my own hands instead of waiting for society to give one to me. And it's been a wild, crazy ride.

You're doing alright compared to me senpai. Just gotta learn to market yourself to corporate dicksucking land, and loose some weight for your health.
My advise with the weight is to make sure you really do your homework about it. Pretty easy to make little mistakes that can add up to serious biological consequences in the long run.

I don't know really. I assumed things were on the up but it seems like I'm stuck in outcast land for the rest of my days which makes me slip even more.
How'd you 25+ers with no job or social life feel about your situation? before my job I made a deadline saying I'd just kill myself or just wander off if things didn't improve and felt like I wasn't going to pussy out of it. The only thing that got me off the antidepressants and out of bed was the disbelief about my new medical condition as if life had just become some fucked up dream.
>>26659212
>it's been a wild, crazy ride.
For you. But think about it. If everyone threw their hands up and said "I give up I'm just gonna do whatever I feel like and hope that the universe will take care of me," that's just not gonna work out for everybody. That's taking huge risks with your future, your finances, your health, and that should be regarded when you advocate this lifestyle: It's dangerous, and it's risky.
Rather than kicking it all to "the universe," robots should help one another learn to roll up our sleeves and work, with a plan, for our own sake. Die arbeit macht frei, you fuggin hippie.
>>26659288
I've always been fat. There have been two periods where I've lost a lot of weight but both times gained it all back.
I gained around 100lbs in a year doing my masters. I overestimated my ability and was sinking from day 1. I spent the whole year killing myself to meet the grades. As a result my diet went to shit.

What kind of stories? I mean, I could tell you hundreds. There was the time I got thrown out of prison. Or the time I got chased through a swamp by a guy with a shotgun and had to hide in a burned-out wreck all night. Or how my roommate turned my home into a crackhouse. Or the year I spent living in a tent, hitching across the continent. One of the benefits of my life is that I have a vast repertoire of stories I can entertain people with.

"This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun, and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men; go freely with the powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and mothers, of families: read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life: re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul." -- Walt Whitman
