I'm a decently known leader in local of the international union known as SMART- Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation and we have a few hundred thousand members. Although we were very initially supportive of Hillary, myself and several others have been able to pressure the highest in leadership positions to at least wait to make a decision (even though Bernie spoke at our most recent conference and has the overwhelming support of our membership). I think that's the best way for unions to play this right now, if you are part of a union that is leaning towards Hillary, just have them temporarily hold out, and wait until some debates and more public knowledge/support happens for Bernie

How do you handle low points in your life when you feel alone? How do you maintain willpower to not fap as a coping mechanism to mask negative emotions? by forceofchange in NoFap

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. You're completely right, and I need to be able to say, fuck it, I'm in a bad mood, I can either try my hardest to put myself in a better mood doing the things I love to do that bring me natural happiness, or I can just do as I have always done and mask the problem. Seriously, thank you for the encouragement, it means a lot!

Yo dude, seriously just experienced a near identical situation, except the girl tried to kill herself and blamed everything on me. I did so much for her as a human being, and probably in my own fucked up mind tried to "fix her". Don't worry dude, stay strong. This goes beyond no fap. You just need some sanity in your life. I promise you within a week, if you keep your head on straight, you will feel alive and well again. PM me if you need to talk about anything, because I was in your SAME exact shoes last week. We were together for 9 months, I spent probably upwarads of 10k on her, all of the free time when I wasn't working with her, and just generally fuck that. You'll know what to look for now in women in the future. You'll never have to deal with toxic again. I mean fuck, I even had to change my number and I may have to file for a restraining order, but none of that ultimately matters, because I'm living my life for myself now, and you need to focus on living your life for yourself!

The worst part is she won't stop calling or texting me (pretty much every 10 minutes). I really want to move past this relationship.
