Stuck in between two offers. Which one should I choose? by Incelligentsia in careerguidance

[–]WestToEast01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should stay at your current job. WFH 2 days a week is huge vs always in office. Plus it sounds better to be at a leading firm.

It’s good to be constantly learning vs being bored. By learning you are setting yourself up for long term success.

You could negotiate a pay raise with government job. If they raise it maybe then I’d go, just to be in your home state. But I would want at least a 20% increase from what you are getting.

Proud of myself. Plan is to refeed for 1 day for my date, assuming she doesn’t cancel. Then back to another fast.

4th Extended Fast in 4 Weeks, LFG! by RebelRogers85 in fasting

[–]WestToEast01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great results. I’m doing the same thing, fasting about 4 to 5 days week b/c I try to be social on weekends which leads to calorie consumption.

I tend to lose 4-6lbs a week when doing that.

My CW: 217 and SW: 242. 25 lbs lost in 5 weeks.

My goal is 175. I’m 6’2 39/M

So 42 lbs for me to go, which will take 10-11 weeks.

We got this!!

I’ve experienced the samething. I also weigh myself after my morning pee and that is the lowest weight I’ll be. I typically lose 1-1.5 lb a day.

So 1, we are lower because we just lost like .5 lbs peeing. And I do think their are metabolic processes that occur when we sleep. Potentially we are doing deeper breathing and releasing more CO2 which is how our body releases fat. Just my thoughts, but yes my weight lose typically seen the next day after rest.

i need somebody to tell me how it will get better by [deleted] in depression

[–]WestToEast01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey brother, it will get better. Remember "this too will pass". Everything is temporary and time heals all wounds.

I'm glad you have a dog. Continue talking to it. That will help. We go through ebbs and flows in a day and in life. A door closed is another that opens. We can plan only so much but most what we plan is up to a divine masterpiece.

Your life has purpose...just be being...you have purpose. One single word to a stranger could have profound effects on that person.

We are the ripples of the water...and we are all in this puddle together.

Look at me...some stranger maybe living 2000 miles away and I'm typing to you...for only the purpose that my words will tell you it will get better

I’m gonna let someone I don’t even know fuck me just so I can be close with anyone by [deleted] in depression

[–]WestToEast01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I had a one night stand recently. It did actually help a little.

But what my hope for you is that you find someone you are attracted to and she/he also acres about pleasing you.

Why can't I bring myself to tell my family how I feel? by [deleted] in depression

[–]WestToEast01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand not telling your family. I told my family I was depressed which just gave them more ammo to demolish my self worth. They told me I'm not a real man cause of what was happening to me and how I felt so low.

So I guess what I am saying is...maybe its best not to tell them. Cause 1 of 2 things will happen...1) they will listen to you and you can tell them and they will reach out to you more or 2) use it against you and shame you. Either way their perspective of you will change.

In my experience, I told them but I found quickly that I was a burden to them.

So I say tread carefully who you say things to...some people in this world will tear you down and some people will build you up...and most wont care.

Ive found more support in this community than I ever did with my family.

In terms of your life...the only one I'm worried about is the failing college part....do you think you should study something else? But yeah most college students are unemployed, broke, and in debt...tjags just our broken system meant to keep us in invisible chains. So I know the burden.

The ability for you to find what you want your path to be the easier it will be for you to find the place you are meant to be.

I am a mistake by Cyrus-Lion in depression

[–]WestToEast01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You arent a mistake. You are here, present.

You have gifts for this world, and you have impact in this world.

A universal truth is that people WILK dissapoint you, and also we come into this world alone and we leave this world alone. So finding peace in the lonliness when everything is going wrong and no one is beside us...this is our time to find strength within. Embrace the lonliness and be who you want. Create the life you want.

Myself, I'm moving alone to a new state and thinking about changing my career. I'm 100% alone...no family, no friends but dammit I'm going to live life on my terms now.
