Post by: ObbyDent on January 19, 2015, 07:24:11 PM
That's the kind of attitude I've been sporting recently. Not exactly doing so hot but I feel like I'm hanging in there. Girl problems, trouble with college, money issues, etc etc etc.
What sort of things have been happening in your life that's just been getting you down?

I'm poor, married, 5 kids, small house, neighbors 2 doors down play tupac, dmx and jay-z 19hours a day from thus to sun( I live in a row home...I can hear it when I crap). I have hella student loan debt. A $12,000 gas bill! My shoulder is falling from some mystery injury I got in the service. I don't make enough money and CHIP KELLY WILL SEND THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES INTO A 10YEAR ABYSS.
But my wife is still smokin hot, I make music and my kids are funny so I guess I'm still playing with house money.
Thank You Jesus!

My life has turned around since last year where it was looking pretty bleak. I can tell you dude hang in there no matter what your going through it gets better but only if you have a positive attitude and stay resilient getting bummed doesn't help it only holds you back. When you get that down its a good time to find religion. I could shamelessly plug my own but for the sake of simplicity any religion should do. believing in something bigger than you makes a world of difference how you handle your problems.

I started working for a non-profit that does meta-analysis on scientific studies concerning health and nutrition, consolidating information in order to understand how best to eat. Everyday I have my nose stuck in journals concerning cancer, heart disease, stroke, MS, liver disease, bowel infections, respiratory inflammation, kidney failure etc. And what I read scares the living **** out of me. I'm not afraid of dying, and thank jebus I've led a decent life. But the experiments, trials, and data presented in these journals concerning our risk of major population killers as it relates to diet is terrifying. So I stopped eating meat, eggs and dairy. It was the only choice. I fancy myself a man of logic and reason, and the evidence is overwhelming. Eating meat, eggs and dairy will kill you sooner and often in horrific ways, or if you do pull through, you'll have a disfiguring scar or heavy dose of radiation to prove it.
And so far, my life has been complete **** because of it. My hands down favorite foods, drinks and desserts are made from one of the four categories I refuse to eat. But it had to go. I don't want to develop a tumor or die of sudden cardiac arrest at age 50 just because I liked the taste of some foods. And exercise doesn't help. You can't eat what you want and dramatically reduce your risk. Study after study proves that diet is the major part of any health answer. Comparing marathon runners over 15 years who've ran over 50,000 miles in that period who at whatever they wanted have a third higher risk for heart disease, cancer, among other things than people not eating meat, eggs and dairy and walked only 20 minutes a day. So vigorous exercise isn't the only answer.
But now I get labeled as vegan which for some reason rubs me the wrong way. It's like being labeled hipster, or at least that's how it feels to me. It's irritating. Just because I changed my eating patterns I now belong to a huge group of people, who I know for a fact to be nice but sound like incredibly pretentious free-loving hippies. Why do I need a label? And if I do, why can't I just be called "Does not want to die early from sudden or extremely tortuous death"?
But the absolute worse part is how people react when finding out I'm....vegan. The quintessential response is confusion. The "wait...what? Really? You got to be kidding me" as if they don't believe me and find what I do to be insane. And before I ate this way, I did it too and now realize how offensive it is. So vegans I've encountered in the past, I'm sorry. But even worse is when people tease me by saying they're going to eat a whole salami or a t-bone steak in front of me. This doesn't offend me. Eat whatever the hell you like. It's your life. But what people don't understand is that while a whole salami and t-bone steak used to sound good to me, now they sound absolutely horrible. They don't really understand why I stopped in the first place. Living longer is great, but preventing sudden death is better.
I'm 27. I'm pretty much in the prime of my life. I'll never feel any healthier. Supposedly. I read a study the other day that said a majority of kids...fucking kids already have fatty streaks in their arteries. The same study showed that a majority of 18 year olds had arterial lesions in their heart. And further in the study, it said that a majority of middle 30 year olds already have hardened arteries. I'm 27 and I'm in the prime of my life, yet I've always been unhealthy. This made me incredibly angry. Another study deduced that millennials will be the first generation in the USA to die younger than their parents.
But probably the most fucked up part of it all is how the doctors, seriously acclaimed doctors that head major associations and organizations rarely give a ****. I remember reading one doctor say something to affect of "Well we know this stuff is bad. I mean, it's pretty much proven. But the change in diet is so severe that people would likely not accept it, so let's just not tell them." How incredibly condescending. I'll edit this when I can find the report, because this guy holds a position of major importance and his exact quote is honestly more ridiculous than what I've written.
So yeah, I'm pretty bummed. I'm bummed that I thought I was eating healthy for a majority of my life only to now realize my body hates me. I'm bummed that all the foods I love are terrible for me. I'm bummed that I have unwittingly increased my risk for many, many health related problems. I'm bummed that my mother and father didn't know this and that I have to teach them during a period of their life associated with the highest early death. I'm bummed I can't go to a fucking restaurant and have anything but a salad because eating to live is not as appropriate as living to eat. And finally, I'm bummed that I still post on this site trivial **** from my life.

1. No one got anything done they were working on when I left. 2. Instead peoples time was wasted doing thing that they didn't need to. 3. That I know have to write a web based medical inventory system from scratch with no requirements ready to go for the client in 90 days.

Stogi's post, while down, is a similar conclusion i came to. 6years ago i dropped all drinks except water (plus i drink about 2 litres/liters a day), and 4 years ago i dropped nearly all dairy (and switched to almond milk instead). I'm sleeping and running better as a result. Small steps really.
While it can't be all down, it's only as down as you make it.

My initial thought was that we all need an attitude adjustment, but that's not productive and not conductive to the topic of this thread.
I had to take a 3 day business trip to a few suppliers of mine, took me away from my wife & two little boys. I've done this a few times before and while it does get easier for me to do, I kind of don't want it to get easier to do, you know? I don't like the idea of being without my family for an extended period of time. Not that I want to be suffering when doing these things, but I don't like the idea of being at a point in the future where I feel indifferent about being away.
I'm the provider in my family while my wife watches the kids during the day & finishes her teacher certification at night, at which I watch the boys. It's hard to be the only income in the family. You run the risk of resenting your spouse for not providing financially or being responsible for any bills. It's easy to forget how much hard work it is watching two kids during the day. I try to be grateful for that, but I get this twinge of frustration each time she asks for money to buy something for herself or to do some activity, even when I know it's unfair of me to expect her to sit at home and do nothing all day.

lolmonade let me tell you that it is not easier when your wife works. Not at all. I make almost 3 times more than my wife but I spend vastly less of the money on Non-Essentials. It frustrates me because from an ROI sense my wife is a terrible investment. I try to not let it bother me except I live a life of someone who makes half of what I do not including my wife's income and can't seem to do better. With that I have to worry about child care, house cleaning, supper, etc. Unfortunately my wife income is still needed for the family and she just be a slug if she was a stay at home parent.
I be really fine losing her income and have a good stay at home spouse.

Dasmos and Insanolord, this isn't death anxiety, this is life anxiety. Let me explain what I mean in pure Stogi fashion.
I don't want to be 50 and not be able to get it up. I don't want the embarrassment, the doctors visits, the overwhelming feeling of being less than a man. I don't want it. I don't want the knowledge that my heart is about give in because my dick doesn't point out. I don't want the knowledge that I am going to die soon but can't continue to **** into oblivion because my condition has worsened and I now take medication for my heart and they don't mix well with dick pills. I don't want to live the rest of that pathetic life. So...a change in lifestyle now and I can continue to **** like a 27 year old long into my life.

science just pulled a Fallout and created a pill that eradicates radiation in the body [source (http://www.cell.com/chemistry-biology/abstract/S1074-5521%2814%2900457-8)]. Can I not hold out hope that my heart pills won't conflict with my dick pills in 20+ years? or that they won't just simply have a pill that prevents all those other problems?

In a similar situation, I once messed around with this fun-loving, hippy type chick. She was incredibly sexy, with big ole tatas and ass for days. She had recently broken up with her boyfriend who I met a couple times while they where still dating. And while we were messing around, she kept bringing him up, which annoyed me. Then she entered this phase of habitually breaking up and getting back together with said boyfriend. And at first I didn't mind. Whenever she'd break up with him, she'd call me up and I'd bang her out. But it started to annoy me, being used and all, and I wanted to break it off with this untrustworthy bitch of a woman. So i told the boyfriend straight up that I had been fucking her for the past three months on and off while you guys struggled through your relationship. He hated me at first, and wanted to fight for what was like a week, but he eventually recognized I was doing him a service. This girl can't be trusted. She flipped out and hated me for roughly two weeks after that, but I saw her out one night and completely ignored her. She then came up to me crying and apologized. She then seduced me and I hit it once again. But right afterwards I called a cab and basically told her to **** off because she can't use men like this. This pretty much destroyed her and I dipped, never to talk to her again.

So many are down and my heart goes out to you all. Just know I am here for you if you need someone to talk to. I've been in those dark places on all fronts so I can relate. But this past year has been a good one. I've begun to win in life on many of these fronts. Health wise, financially, in relationships, it all feels like it is coming together. But I will never forget my times of darkness. Those moments forever change you on some deep level, and in the end they make you a better, stronger person for it.

Also, meat isn't the main culprit of dick issues, grains are. I highly suggest watching the movie Fat Head and then ask yourself how a guy was able to eat fast food for a month - including meat - and still lose weight, feel great, and end up with better blood readings than he did before he started his experiment. Why did a Cardiologist write two books condemning wheat and grains ("Wheat Belly" and "Wheat Belly Total Health", by Dr William Davis)? Be careful what studies you read because there is a lot of error and assumption that can go into them.
How is it that, despite fat consumption in America being the lowest it has been in decades, obesity and chronic health issues are on the rise? What is one of the number one food items we consume? Grains. Coincidence? Perhaps, but why are the majority of our grandparents and great grandparents pictures showing them skinny despite them eating a higher percentage of fat? Obesity was less of an issue. Now, we are more sedentary than we have ever been and the seeds of grasses -something man was never able to properly eat- are our primary food source.
How did we live before the agricultural revolution? Before we became farmers? Wouldn't our species had died out if everyone started having dick issues in their 20s and 30s? And yes, the age is getting younger, despite the fact fat consumption is at its lowest.
Lastly, how did a chubby punk like me end up losing 50 pounds in a year without ever exercising and while eating all of the meat, eggs, and veggies I wanted?
Note: processed meats can be a health issue. Good quality meat from beef, poultry, fish, pork and other sources are what I refer to above. Notice a number of studies do not distinguish between processed and unprocessed foods.
Just some food for thought :cool;

You see what Stratos is doing right now? Do you see how defensive he is? Can you now see why that fucking dick of a doctor said "let's just not tell them"?
I do this for a living, Stratos. I could suggest several reasons why you were able to lose 50 lbs in a year...cocaine use comes to mind, or why eating whole grains is worth the fiber alone, but do your own research. Here is a decent list to get you started: http://www.drgreger.org/JournalChecklist.pdf
And if you'd like a non-bias, non-profit source that is much easier to understand, I suggest nutritionfacts.org.

Oh would be fine and all except no sleep, no time to do school work, my group project is due and I never logged in to meet with the group so now I am pretty much out of the group. Its not as bad as during the elections but it was a long ass week. Had to spend 30 minutes cutting twenty odd 2 second sound bites out of those damn speeches, just so we can not use half of them because our viewers call in saying we have a "liberal bias" for giving too much air time to the President of the United States. Oh but Bo Fucking Pelini says something bad about NU and we got a **** storm of angry cornhuskers calling in to bitch we need to cover his stupid lame ass comments and pretend, oh you know the President doesn't even matter. Why did I spend all that time cutting out sound bites we can't even use without being accused of being liberal, because Nebraska is over run by idiots.

All I know for sure is that he's the best poster here. With him around, life doesn't suck. Thread over.

Wait, didn't you read my rules? Number 1 was I am better than you, so by extension that automatically makes me the best poster there is. Of course I am the only true poster anymore the rest of you all are either whatshisnames dupes, or figments of my imagination.

I snicker at you two, I snicker with vigor. I am not only the genius who coined the term "FORWARD COMPATIBILITY" (look it up first known use was this forum) I also predicted the Wii remote perfectly (don't look that up)
SATIN!

well since you're just a figment of my imagination that means it must have already come to me in a dream then.

Are most women bipolar, or just the ones I know!? I'm an island of sane in a sea of crazy, and it's storming right now....
Not most...ALL OF THEM!
I have to hold out hope.... it's all I have left. they can't all be crazy.
....maybe it's my cologne. I am attracting them somehow.

Crazy Hot Scale.
I forgot this thread existed. I have an interview tomorrow. I'm actually dreading it now. Especially after going through the wringer with a consultant today.

I find myself going back to a lot of the music I latched to as a teenager and listening to all of them on repeat when I get in a certain mood. Not because they're objectively good music (in fact, most is simple/juvenile), but because they're linked to specific feelings I had at that age, and are some of the few things that still make me feel young, despite me being relatively young still.
Problems at this stage in my life are so complex, multifaceted, and require long-term solutions…you get to a point where you're pushing so hard against the challenges in meeting your goals for so long that you go on autopilot, and the pains that go with it become just a dull ache. The beauty in youthful "tragedies" (first relationships/breakups, friends leaving for college, falling-out with friends, not knowing what you want to do with your life) are that because they're the first time you've encountered these problems, every wound is fresh, every one is an acute pain that throbs, and feels like it'll never end, until it does.
These same aches & pains now are a thousand scratches against a steady, calloused hand pushing back. It's still painful, but well-worn and heavy.

I been doing this a lot lately too. There are songs/bands I hated when I was a teenager that I enjoy now just because they remind me of then. I just turned 32 and I don't feel old at all I am actually quite comfortable with my current age but life has had a way of taking things I used to love doing and turning them into the most difficult of chores.
My challenge has always been just leaving the house. Even right now with most things going well in my life, good job, nice new car, girlfriend going really well, even getting ever closer to finishing school, I still find myself having to talk myself into leaving the house each day. Depression is a hard thing to overcome and no matter how good things are at times, its the heavy things that are never okay that keep getting in the way.
I agree with the sentiment that everything takes time now. I have been feeling the weight of school dragging on I am at the point where I just would rather drop out and be done with it than keep going for one more year. Its only one more year but damn its going to be the longest year of my life.
