Guyyys, there's no food in the house. Should I go to the grocery store and get something, get fast food and doom myself to coronary disease, or order pizza and also probably doom myself to coronary disease.
How hungry are you?
I ate a hamburger, a chicken sandwich, and some fries today. I am hungry.

Maybe you should get a nice delicious salad. With bacon.

I think depression spanking is a bad idea because it could theoretically lead to asphyxiwanking.
The meditation/breathing exercises I told you to work on a couple of weeks ago.
Aaaaah, sorry I actually did try it and I was a bit to hectically minded at the time I think but it did take an edge off. I might try actually, I'll stick around for ten to keep the mind occupied then try. The problem with the meditative state thing is I'm one of those people who thinks too much when alone and I think my minds been wandering to my ex annoyingly lately.

It's not the sort of thing you can just jump into whenever you feel stressed; you need to train yourself, over a period of several weeks, to enter a meditative state on command. You need to practice every day if possible, if only for 15 minutes or so, when you are calm and not already feeling stressed out. Eventually you'll get to the point where, even when you're feeling awful, you can relax yourself and clear your head. It's just like training a muscle, you need to work on it, a little at a time and stick with it.

Alright dudes, I think I'm done for tonight.
Mike, send me a PM or something and I'll see if I can think of any good ideas. I've helped a few people find some direction before, maybe we'll get lucky and I'll come up with something that might fit.
EDIT: Urgh... hold on guys, let me see if I can find it...

That's an extreme simplification of the technique involved; I did six months of biofeedback with a specialist to get to the point where I could do it easily, but the principles are pretty universal, I think. I guess you guys can always PM me with specific questions.

Any idea what kind of direction you want to go in? Could you see yourself teaching (requires a lot of patience) or working in marketing/public relations (are you outgoing and personable) or do you have a particular hobby or interest that you would enjoy doing for a living?
Gotta give us something to work with, here.
I am currently in a large healthcare market research company. I do not like what I do. I do like the people but it's not enough.
I work long fucking hours and I am underpaid.
As for what I want to do, well I'm trying to figure that out right now. I like to write, I'm good with people, I love science but am terrible at math, I love composing and record engineering but it's hard to make a living in that.
Are you telegenic? Dress well, clean-cut and all that jazz? Because it sounds like you'd be more suited to PR work than what you're doing now. Ever write a press release before? Obviously it's a struggle right now with the economy as it is. If you're willing to relocate then that opens up a lot of options, but I assume you're looking for something at least within a few hours of your current location.
You'd need some experience in the field, something to put on your resume before you can land a solid long-term position, and there are usually a lot of non-profit organizations and small businesses looking for young, enthusiastic people willing to work on the cheap for a few years. Look at local credit unions, charities, small private schools, and especially religious organizations (the good ones are fantastic to work for).
I am not necessarily opposed to this, although one of the reasons I'm growing unbelievably sick of this job is the corporate sleaze and slick veneer of artificiality that's coating everything in the business world.
It's going to be very sad if she turned off or lost her cell phone...

Later dudes. Don't get frustrated if you don't get results right away, like I said it takes a while.
If you really want to take a serious look at biofeedback but can't afford to see a specialist, check this out. It's a super-simplified version of the training equipment they use, and it does work if you keep at it.
EDIT: Mike, hence my suggestion to take a look at small businesses and non-profit organizations. They don't pay as well, but you don't have the icky aftertaste of having sold out your principles. Personally I don't mind the corporate world at all, but I understand how it can bother a lot of people.

The way I was taught meditation was to take a 2 syllable easy nonsense word, eyes closed, think the 1st syllable as you exhale, 2nd as you inhale.
Of course the goal of this particular exercise is not relaxation, but to fool your mind into thinking nothing, for as long as possible. Something to do with enlightenment.
