So Veeky Forums, what have you done in the past couple days to better yourself mentally?

Y-you do realize that mental health is just as important as physical health, don't you?

I smoked a bowl, then busted a fat nut in a 17 year old, she called me daddy, then we got McDonalds.

Started meditating with Headspace. Could be a meme, but it's comfy to do in the morning.

NICE bro

Currently got a tight 19 year old in my rotation also just started fucking this just turned 16 qt3.14 and she's obsessed

Good feeling desu

Wtf I love Veeky Forumsizens again. This guy is living

Meditation's no joke

Absolutely necessary staple for a mentally wholesome life imo

Study for Acturial exams. Getting pretty good at maths again.

Can anyone give me some tips/links how to start this shit?

Wanted to try it out for a while.

I'm 25 years old and just went back to college to get an Electrical Engineering degree. I was working as an electrician but I'm not making enough money and I believe I can get more in life than being just an electrician, now that isn't too late yet.

I'm learning some programming too in my freetime. Started with Python and C. Recently bumped into a friend who is a computer sci major and is working in a lot of cool free software projects, and he invited me to join their team and workspace. To hang around and learn, for starters. They are cool people. Making some social gains there, rather than interact with the 3 or 4 old fat electrician jerks I usually work with.

Also a friend introduced me to a 19 yo girl I'm now dating. She lives like 2 hours away on transport but we see each other on weekends. She's really into me, in the past 2 weeks she told me she's been dreaming about me every night. She is a virgin and I'm her first bf, so its probably that. I really like her but I'm not too crazy about it I guess. My last relationship didn't end up well after 3 years. In time I'm digging on things and finding that this bitch got manipulative everytime she could. At least I learned a lot and I'm not letting it happen to me again.

So yeah, I've been making social gains, learning to program, organizing my school and work schedule. I dont want to end up like those labor job morons, I met a few. It's really sad to think they had potential once, and wasted it. They are living with the little they've accomplished, not stretching their mental health anymore.

Sounds like you're on a good trajectory. Keep it up and you'll make it!

Google Anapana and Vipassana.
Start with breathing

How old are you user? That 16 year old isn't the kind that still looks prepubescent is she?

How do you do it bros? Are you stalking a high school or something?

>make a website about the solar eclipse coming up in August
>put some advertisement on the website
>add amazon affiliate links for solar glasses
>a week goes by, only 33 views
>only 1 sale, I get $0.44 from amazon

I'm not even on the first 20 pages of a google search, the first page alone is full of other eclipse websites, and after that it's every news station's article about the eclipse. I'm literally crowded out by everyone else, so much for getting your voice heard on the internet.

the zen way works the best for me, the strict form and state is especially useful if your mind is fucking racing all the time. i didn't realize i thought this much and fast until i tried to actually stop thinking.
zen basics (shortest text you're going to get):
get into full lotus, elevate your ass with a small, hard pillow, put your left hand on top of your right, thumbs touching and forming a straight line, posture perfectly straight, chin tucked in and you want to elevate the top of your head as high as possible.. eyes are open and looking THROUGH the floor (you don't want to look at a specific point, your vision needs to be blurred) about 3 feet (or 1 meter) in front of you..

your hands should be touching your belly and fingers touching your feet.

breathing is very important, maintain the right posture; inhalation is kept natural but the exhalation should be done consciously, heavy and slow, so focus on the exhalation. it should be at a rhythm and deep and long.

OP tip: simply observe the thoughts that come up without any judgment. as if you're watching them, don't try to suppress them or think about why you think those thoughts.

hope this helps

forgot to add, your palms should be facing upwards if it wasnt already obvious
and scapula slightly rotated backwards and pulled back, very slightly. also don't arch your back too much

if you cant get into full lotus try harder. you're Veeky Forums after all

clinical placement has been stressful as I get signed off this year
>arranged meeting with mentor and discussed progress, it turns out im doing really well even though I feel like a nervous bag of shit on the inside

what kind of unit/floor are you on? med/nursing/ot/pt/other?

nurse, no regrets

same here bro. passed boards last month. don't worry about it, it's easy enough to cruise through.

Trying to become more disagreeable and embrace dark triad-ness

Had a girl flake on me three times so I just ceased communication with her. (She's runway model tier so she didn't have any tits anyway, no huge loss). In the past I over-pursued so now I just drop them if they don't chase me. I still feel anxious about just letting her go like that 'without a fight' but that feeling means I have insecurities I need to clear. She hasn't cared enough to reach out to me in two weeks besides a facebook like so why should I care?
Confronted boss about a paycheck that was slightly short when I would have let that slide in the past, etc

Also scale says im 10% BF with 180 lbs of muscle so I'm stoked on that

Any pointers on No More Mr Nice Guyness are appreciated

>a facebook like
She sounds really insecure, m8. If she wasn't interested, she probably would've deleted you.

So what's the game plan? I'd gone out with her for a few months but she started flaking more and more. (Lets meet thursday, then thursday rolls around and it's lets meet sunday, etc etc) The last straw was one of these re-direction nights ended up with her instagram storying her walk throught he graveyard by her house. Like if she's weird enough to prefer doing that to meeting up with me, why bother?

(Also she's a masochist in the bedroom which I am not enthusiastic about)

>Confronted boss about a paycheck that was slightly short

If it was a one time thing, then it was probably a mistake

but if it happens again and again, then you know you're being cheated

Either way, good for you standing up for yourself.

You are doing good bro, you are kinda where I hope to be in the next few months. I'm going back to school after a 2 years hiatus. Definitely jealous about the younger gf, hope it works out for you man.

I reorganized my filing system at work. It's much less hectic and life has been much less stressful since.

Stood up for myself against a pitbull that had chased me a while back. Emptied a can of mace on his face.

I'm driving up to Charleston for the eclipse from Florida. Excited as shit. Planning on proposing to my qtgf on the Battery while the eclipse is going on.

I stick my electric toothbrush in my ass today and had a wank to sissyhypno porn while sniffing poppers.

It was amazing but I felt such intense shame afterward.

mah nigga, charleston's my home turf. any questions?

Wow, that's a great idea, good luck user!

I'm very excited too, I've never seen an eclipse before and now I get the chance to see one for 2 minutes.

Have you ever looked at the sun with solar glasses before? I was blown away last week when I tried on a pair for the first time, this is exactly what the sun looked like.

Not particularly. I've been a few times, and it's a beautiful city. I'm just hoping for clear weather, and that we can actually get to the Battery before it gets jam-packed.

I have, actually, with a welder's mask. I've got a few pairs for the event itself

cool, good luck man.

I've been keeping up with my diary, so I can help my psychologists help me better
They're currently on vacation

Thanks breh

I didn't jack off to cartoons, faggot

This thread is nice.

Depends on where he lives.

Thanks, I had a recurring issue happen with another company and stopped working for them. I also learned everything I needed to learn from them which is my usual sign to move onto a new job.

I'm getting my CNA done this fall. What sort of program did you go through?
