My profession is programming, but there's also nothing wrong with being a psychologist; it's part of STEM and clinical and pharmacological research is quite a good place to help people from.

I have bulimia, bipolar II, GAD, and BDD. I'm on Risperdol, Hydroxazine and occasionally Zolpidem.

My BDD/bulimia makes me desperate to look better, and I'm considering getting abdominoplasty for around 6 grand but I don't want to tell my regular doctors and psych...

Can't complain, you?

>>686673457
You should tell your PCP and psych.
That is not healthy and also it probably won't make you look better either.

*sighs and runs her fingers through her hair* Let me think.

First, why are you taking the Zolpidem?
Second, ask your doctor about Propranolol; it has been used effectively against bulimia before, and it definitely helps with GAD.

All the rest I can offer you is a hug and a reassurance that you are beautiful, Anonymiss.

I used to be really fat. I have this loose skin that is terribly bothersome to me. Certainly doesn't help the bulimia, body dysmorphia etc.
The zolpidem is because i dont sleep thru the night often. I get up a lot. Especially during a manic high, though those are much rarer now. I feel like the bipolar is managed fine by the risperdol, but i just never have any 'good' days. I just don't have the swings of really-terrible-down days and unhealthily-up-days. I wish I had, sometimes, the ups were at least something different than day-in, day-out "kinda ok i guess."

There are plenty of ways to seek a doctor Anonymous; if you are suicidal, it is a medical emergency. Go to the ER.

The ups cause the downs to be much harder.
What you are experiencing is called mood blunting; you should talk to your psychiatrist about it. A medication adjustment may be in order.

The simplest thing you can do is SLOW DOWN.
Let it come naturally, do lots of foreplay, maybe let her suck you for a while slowly until you are fully hard, then put it in.

You are having some performance anxiety; slow it down, let yourself relax, and you'll have a better time.

First, there are no "insane asylums" in America anymore; there are mostly just state medical treatment centers, and basically everything else is out patient. The average stay for in patient is around 3 to 5 days.

Fuck it, I'll bite. Tell me what you think doc.

I know I self esteem issues and have for as long as I can remember, not really sure why though. But I'll get back to that later. For 4 or so years now I've hovered around being a NEET ever since I dropped out of school on night to comfort my (online) gf after some family drama gave me a reason to drop out since we were moving away from it.

I constantly form attachments over literally nothing with girls and then get upset when I'm forced to face the fact that there's nothing there. An ex (boyfriend) of mine (that I dated because he catfished me but decided to try it anyways) told me as we were breaking up that I'm desperate for love, and I think it's true I just don't know why.

And here's the biggest thing for me, I know my problems are from my self esteem issues. I know if I get over them I'll be able to pull myself together, I know the only one who truely cares about my flaws is myself and that as long as I accept them/fix them then no one will truely care. I know how easy it is to get out, get a job/friends and have a real life. And I start on that path all the time, but every time I fail. It's almost like I'm self sabotaging, I'll start doing things I know will harm the path out of this life style I say I hate but do it anyways. And I can't figure out why. What do you think doc?

It could be in the past. Maybe one of the shitty ones, so it's like sensory deprivation, which I think does cause actually hallucinations, not delusions, outside of insanity. Or it could just be your mental state that makes you think that.
>do you think they allow access to the internet unsupervised in in-patient
That's where the hallucination part comes in, you're not actually using the internet.
>everyone would be delusions, not hallucinations.
That's the whole issue with the "they're insane" theories. Pretty much anything could be explained away. You could say that I'm hallucinating everyone I know, and I could say "What about their emotions? They actually have thoughts, so they must exist outside of my mind."
You could just say "Haha you're hallucinating bro", and I couldn't prove you wrong. You, of course, couldn't prove yourself right.

Start using the Internet less, start working out. Do it slowly at first.
Then start going out.
Do it or you'll be caught in an endless cycle of misery online before finally snapping.

Sorry for the delay.

It sounds less like self esteem issues and more like abandonment issues to me; you do it because you can't find that source of comfort anywhere else. You'd be a prime candidate for CBT; please talk to your doctor and look into it.

You can do it, if only you...try, Anonymous!

I have so much doubt and so little self worth. I feel like my complete life is a failure, so much so, i barely eat, i feel im not worth it, like i dont deserve anything.

Oh, it's nothing as complicated as that. While I would have loved to take courses regarding algorithms, and biological modeling, my degree is highly theoretical.
Pure mathematician here. The closest I can come to benefit A.I. would be a bit of knowledge about epistemology.
Which leads me to my first question, actually: what would you define to be 'artificial intelligence'? Obviously, it's a sort of elementary question because one would assume that that would lay the ground for the work done in the field, right? If not, how would you know what to work on? Although, my experience has been that a lot of people (including my buddy) doesn't or cannot find a proper definition, because there simply isn't one. This is obvious as there's discussion on the matter of intelligence alone; if intelligence baffles us, how would we even come close to making a copy of it?

So, what is your definition of artificial intelligence?
Personally I think I have a holistic definition. Now, I haven't read much about psychology, in fact the closest I come is a bit of neuroscience, yet, I feel like you can talk about different kinds of intelligence, like social intelligence, logical intelligence, etc., and I believe artificial intelligence would have to be the whole and not parts.

>>686678513
Sounds to me like you already know what is wrong with you; you don't actually finish things, so you never actually get self esteem or motivation.

Pick a project and make a schedule; divide it into little, easy to do chunks. Complete one, use the motivation from it to do the next. When you are done the project, pick a bigger one.

That's how you dig your way out.

I've never really been abandoned by anyone though, I mean besides never knowing my father. Everyone else-- fuck. I think you may actually be right,

Besides CBT is there anything else I can do? I have no money to do it on my own, and I don't think I can admit to my mother that I think I need therapy no matter how true it is, I'm not one to ask for help. Hell the only time I've ever admitted to anyone that I have "issues" is when I was drunk crying to my friend

Eh? Artificial intelligence is anything that reacts to the environment in a non-trivial manner. Generally we refer to this as an agent architecture; a thermostat, for example, is a very simple A.I.

This...is the standard definition. It's not difficult at all. We're engineers; we don't consult philosophers on what the true meaning of intelligence or whatever is. We use what works.

No offence, but that seems like a bit of a cop-out for a relatively specific thing. A lot of arbitrary things could be categorized as 'reacting to the environment in a non-trivial manner'. I understand where you're coming from though. It just seems like a very vague definition. You're putting a thermostat and reasoning under the same wing. I've heard about the 'rational agent' definition before, but it's usually from engineers who haven't even looked at pictures of brains.
After all, you said you double-majored. Don't you think there's a bit more to it than that?

>>686680248
No, I think that you are looking for a line that isn't there; there is no fundamental difference between the many many layers of architecture between simple reaction tables and full on recurrent neural networks.

The human brain is just a very very large neural network; it's not fundamentally more powerful than a thermostat, it's just engineered for a different purpose. This follows quite easily from, well, the most fundamental of automatas: the turing machine.

A thermostat reasons; it's reasoning is very primitive, but it is still fundamentally reasoning.

>>686680280

If you had the chance to hook up with someone else, would you take it, or is she the only one that you want?
Perhaps there are harmful habits of yours that only worsen how you feel? Try to cut those out. Maybe there is something you'll discover soon that you end up really liking, or even helps you with motivation, or gives you an answer. What are some things you've been wanting to do for a while, or that you just think would be fun? This could be as simple as seeing a movie you've been wanting to see. Even that could, somehow, get you to start thinking on a path that proves beneficial.

I can't stand when people chew with their mouths open, especially crunchy food.
I get headaches and start sweating, general panic to get out of the situation.

It really sucks when I'm in a public place. And I feel like a pain when I have to ask everyone I meet to not eat anything crunchy when they're around me. Especially since people tend to forget it and do it anyway

Can I get rid of this hatred for eating noises somehow?

i'm almost done with year 12.i want to attend Uni and stuff. but my family has a horrible history of brain problems and heart diseases. my add prevents me from focusing on things, even things i like.My asthma means i can't even do heavy work for more than 5 minutes without my lungs closing up. there's not a single thing i want to work in, i can physically work in. i don't think i can become an anthropologist or work in the medical industry at this rate. if i do get rejected into uni because of piss poor grades. what is there for me?

I quit my job a few months ago due to my depression. Since then I just sit on the internet all day. I have enough money to last a while but I will run out in a few months. I'm going to therapy.

Yes. You should investigate going to a psychologist; exposure therapy can definitely get rid of such phobias.

Yes. Absolutely. Also, it's called cannabis.

Doing anything in excess is bad, and that definitely seems to be excessive. Also, you shouldn't smoke; vaping is much better on your lungs.

What have you been on for your ADD? As well, why have you not asked your doctor about asthma treatments? Steroids are generally effective.

It is going okay, but I don't think I will be recovered before I run out of money. To be honest I'm hoping to find a way to work online because I can't bear the pressures of a 9-5 ever again.

Look I appreciate you pretending to care but I genuinely don't want any help with that. Basically I just want to know the best way to end it.

Can't risk failing at that again so I need better ideas. What would be the most gentle way to go? Like say someone you knew died, what way of them dying would make you the least upset?

If our positions were swapped I'd be saying the same thing you are and not understanding why the person doesn't just ask for help. But as the one who needs it, I just can't do it. I really don't know

i think if some other girl came along who i liked then i would preferably get to know her a good amount but then hook up. i am a virgin and i dont think im bad looking, i just have no self confidence. a few girls have asked me out over the years but i acted unsure with them and none of them took the extra initiative to follow through. However, there is definitely something special with her. I don't think about her sexually like i do with most other girls (even tho shes quite attractive) for some reason a sexual thought about her has never formed in my mind. I believe it is because I love her (as cliche and retarded as that may sound) Sex never mattered with her. I would have sex with her if we were in a relationship, don't get me wrong, but what i long for is to spend time with her; someone to quell the loneliness, you know what I mean?

Hm.. I see. Except that reasoning was just one part of the whole, but I see what you mean.

Next question, I suppose, is: what is it that makes us think we're so different then?
In comparison to other animals, as an example, I believe (and excuse me if I remember incorrectly) that what made us different was our incredibly big cerebral cortex, which enabled us to.. Basically analyze, right? Then the diencephalon (hypothalamus and thalamus) handled urges, compulses, etc., and the cerebellum all the way in the back is motor control, correct? It's a long time ago but I think I'm semi-correct about this. Now, I've heard examples of animals, mainly insects, that exhibit literal programmable behavior in the sense of automation. And the next step are bigger animals that are driven by their instincts, and the last step is us.
Where does A.I. rank in this three step system? Obviously automation is possible, and I believe analysis as well, but instincts are a biological characteristic, correct? Yet, a huge part of what drives humans to act like they do is instincts. Is this a barrier in attempts to mimic human intelligence, or is that not even the focus of A.I.?

I'm sorry if this seems like a silly answer. I understand that a thermostat, or a Mario-playing A.I. aren't related to this.

No, that's bullshit dude; it's an excuse.
I live in pain; I'm a pain patient, and the DEA cut off my oxy months ago; every day is pain, real, physical pain.

And depression is worse; I'd take the actual pain from my body any day over the depression.

Stop lying to yourself; this is an excuse. You don't want to admit it because you'll feel weaker or you'll feel like you are whiny or some other bullshit.

Suck it up! Get the help you need! It's not fucking tough to just suffer, it's idiotic, and it hurts everyone around you. You think your friends want you to suffer? Your family? No, they want you to be happy and healthy. And if you do end up putting a bullet in your brain, they'll be the ones who suffer because you thought it weak to get help.

Go to therapy. Get a cast put on that injury of yours. Stop being afraid of feeling or being weak; that's the weakest bullshit you could do.

We aren't different; that's the long and the short of it. In fact, there was a recent study that showed ants have some degree of self awareness and consciousness, which seems to be related to the midbrain, not the neocortex. Mix that with studies showing we don't have free will (as it can be determined what choices one will make up to 3 seconds before we make them), and it looks like the neocortex merely helps STOP bad decisions and JUSTIFY ones we do make.

I think your beliefs are unnecessarily anthropomorphic and human centric; the smartest things I know of aren't humans, they are genetic algorithms.

I understand what you're saying. The desire for a sexual partner, and/or a romantic partner, are two of the strongest desires that humans experience. She sounds like a nice and beautiful person, Anon. I guess that's the kind of person you like?

>do I still have a chance
Of course. There's always a chance. If you both have problems to work out, there's probably a similiarity between those problems somewhere.
If you do talk to her, would you want to gently mention this? If you thought you didn't deserve her, would you want to get her back? It might be your initial extreme emotions that make you think that.
People deserve to be happy.

*smiles* I wish I did, but than you for the sentiment?

>>686686678
>In comparison to other animals, as an example, I believe

What I was referring to, sorry if that wasn't obvious.

Yes, but most of it is fear mongering.
I'm leaving soon, so drop me an email at [email protected] if you want to continue this.

>>686686801
Okay. Gonna just ignore you then.

>>686686886
Society doesn't advocate that, but here's how you do it: Pick a project you want to do, schedule time to do it, then divide it into tiny chunks. Then do each chunk at a time, until you are done with the whole project.

Then pick a bigger project.

>>686687084
Yeah, and both of those forms of philosophy have been thoroughly disproven. But okay.

Alright guys, it's 10:30, my back hurts like a mother fucker, so I'm turning in.

Email me at [email protected] if you need more help.

Will maybe be on tomorrow, same time.

With all the love in the world,

Is this a Caesar Cipher? Did your head get fucked up, judging by the bandages? I sure hope you didn't take enemy fire to the trusty noggin, Bell.

>...so take out loans and go to college? Go to a bar or club or whatever and find friends and a relationship? Who cares if your hobbies are interesting; they are yours alone?

All of what you've said is "things are bad"; that in no way leads to "things will always be bad".

"Just go fix your problems anon then things will be fine"

oh ok i didnt know it was that easy.

You know, when someone is talking about killing themselves, it's out of desperation at the fact they've tried everything they can think of and things still haven't improved. Some people's lives are just going nowhere. For some of us there's just zero point in wandering about all alone until we get hit by a bus or die of old age.

*laughs* You are talking to someone who experiences suicidal idealations every day, about what suicide is?

The point of what I was saying is that the things you are saying are NOT permanent disabilities; given time, energy, and effort, you can overcome them. Simply giving up isn't the answer.

As I said just because things are bad doesn't mean things will always be bad; a permanent solution to a temporary problem is the wrong solution.

Email me if you'd like to discuss this further, but again, the idea that your life is beyond repair...that's part of your illness, Anonymous. Seek help.

So essentially keep running on the wheel and constantly keep picking a bigger wheel? Lets say for the sake of arguement, I chose AI theory, then advanced to AI programming, which led to AI, and the AI led to me finally finding peace due to achieving what I wanted at that moment. But what happens when that fades and I am drawn to the next task? Legit I just want to live forever and see everything that ever will be but cannot do that for its not a reasonable achievable goal with the current understanding of the universe and biology / technology. What do when what you want you can never ever have?

You're oversimplifying everyone's advice into circular reasoning. I beliebe Alice has given some simple advice, but I think that's on purpose, although I can't speak for her intentions, or say what she's thinking.
Saying "Try harder" an an answer to "How can I make my life better" is meant to serve as a reminder that your life isn't to a point where you are absolutely unable to make it better no matter what you do. There should always be something you're able to do that will help you.

Please explain how

Leads to
>I never asked him out
If you can't think of a reason why that turns you away from him, well...

>>686687305
Oh, no worries, I was more seeking validation of what I had read rather than trying to shake a point out of my sleeve. I'm really not knowledgeable about most things biological.
And I will shoot you an email.

Hello Alice how are you today?

>>686687813
I'm believe that anon was hoping for a permanent solution for his problem, not just to push the problems away for a while.

>>686688031
Its because the religious people who Ive seen would make a problem of it, if I ask him out and he no longer speaks to me that will fuck our grades, so why risk ruin the relationship to begin with ?
