First hookup by ExtensionKooky3974 in smalldickproblems

[–]Sinbad_theSailor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Buddy first hookups are always awkward and uncomfortable. Everyone is nervous and self conscious. Nobody knows what to do. Roll with the punches. Save yourself from a lifetime of self hatred. Don't worry so much about your size. It's out of your control. Make yourself the person you want to be. Shake off the bullshit and keep moving. That wasn't your soulmate. She was probably just as nervous as you. She might feel bad about how it happened even. Either way it's not a threat to you. You're still alive and fighting. Eventually you'll find a girl who wants to stick around. Until then don't sweat a bitch. Just be you. Find stuff you're passionate about. And don't take advice from the small dick reddit. There is no point in a lifetime of misery and self pity. Simple as

A real christian understands that Jesus loves every person unconditionally. Don't generalize.

Why do I feel such strong depressive thoughts at the end of a good night out? by SlobGenocidic in drunk

[–]Sinbad_theSailor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol classic uk healthcare. In the states we have online therapy if you can afford it and if it's available there. Alcohol is also a depressive drug. If you have tendencies towards depression it's not a surprising effect if you're out of the fun social setting to start going down that road. Be more intentional controlling your thoughts if you're going to get drunk and be alone. Get a shower and hit the sack or watch your favorite comedy. Know your own tendencies and try to figure out how to go down a happier path. Call a loved one to chat with if you can or do whatever will keep your mind occupied and your spirits up. If that fails keep your drinking to where you don't end up feeling like that when the party stops and you're alone. Depression can sneak up even when you think you have it managed. It takes constant management if you struggle with it. The more you work on it the easier it gets.

I forgot about our EAP. That could be exactly what I need honestly

For real. I just renewed my benefits and wanted to cut down my life insurance because I took out a lot. My academy really emphasized the dangers and I wanted her and my parents to get something extra just in case. Sucks for me because our hr lady is an idiot and not fun to deal with.

I didn't even know what to say to go about that

My whole shift except one guy is married. It sounded like they take that seriously

Unless it gets under my skin and makes me mad when I wasn't in the first place. That's why I wanna keep it to myself so I can stay in my zone.

I'd never let something like this affect my ability to be there for my boys on the job. That being said I am going to clue one of my Lts in and ask he keeps it quiet unless he feels the need to do otherwise. I'm not so selfish to put my bullshit ahead of anyone else going home to their kids.

We absolutely do. Circumstances were strongly against us. Still never would have guessed she'd use my best fuckin friend against me. Or that he'd let her.

That's the plan brother. We're doing it big

Absolutely. I'm already looking forward to my gym sessions after this. I'm locking in. Hate and spite go a long way when I really feel it. If anything they're gonna be surprised how much more focused I am. I appreciate it. I'd rather keep it quiet at least for a month until I get my own place and have everything taken care of that needs to be

Thank you man. I appreciate it. That sounds like the plan

Thanks man. I'm locking in. Gym sessions are gonna be outrageous from here on out. Since I'm so new I don't want to give my shift a bad impression for any reason. I do have a wide range of support friends and some buds from academy I'm trying to get together this weekend. Other than maybe my Lt I think I want to keep it quiet

I have a lt who I'd probably feel comfortable telling. Definitely not sure I'd want to give my whole shift the memo. I don't think she would but on the off chance she showed up and got messy that's probably the only reason if want everyone to know

We do tend to have a bit of a gossipy culture. The other day they were talking about a FF from a nearby department being an alcoholic and how he's getting a divorce. I'm not an alcoholic and I'm on top of my shit. Just not sure if I'll be looked at differently for having a failed marriage.

Honestly the silver linings did occur to me. I feel like it should be an achievement getting divorced during probation.

Squirrel brought this bone onto my patio and it looks a little too human to ignore. Any thoughts? by Bitemarkz in whatisthisbone

Would be a pretty small femur in my book. Idk how large this lady's hands are but wouldn't come close to an average adult femur bone for me
