You're in college? 2-year or 4 year?
4
What are you major in, bro?
Guess
@Rockets my parents had me diagnosed with aspergers back then... of course, they saught out the psychiatrist that agreed with them so take that with a mountain of salt, espacialy as later pschologists and such disagreed
Computer Science?
Engineer?
Yes
Awesome. I used to go to 2 year college for it but things when downhill.
I'm trying to get out of being unemployed.
it's probably like, I don't define myself as any ONE thing you know? I read philosophy when I was young, and remember defining myself as a Stoic, vs hedonist, but I've become something else in my old age that the old definitions might help understand, but not completely. After youve crossed some lines and boundaries, I feel like there's just even more boundaries to break
@Dango_chan HHH was computer science but now he's teaching.
Job market is shit in Detroi.t
i think it was just high intelligence (psychologists did take an IQ test on me, all that ican say, i dont know what my IQ is, but its to high to be measured by the standart test which only goes up to 130) plus depression.
@Redneo screw psychiatrists on most counts, unless you think you want to be a lab rat for fun, stick with good old fresh air, diet, exercise etc. They tried to give me Prozac after I told them I had just given up MJ, I was like you guys are f'n quacks!
@Rockets do you agree project-work is the best for proving to employers you rock?
and im actualy gald to have suffered (well, i still am to a degree, its recoursive, but... i can deal now) clinical depression. Cause, guess what, once youve been through that, there is nothing that will throw you of
@Rockets well psychiatrists are actualy okay. Psychologists and social workers, now THEY are terrible
@machtyn absolutely, anything you can SHOW them, actual web services, apps, whatever. It's good to be able to answer technical questions with technical speak too
@Rockets and there is a BIG differenece between psychology and psychiatry. Psychology is mental, psychiatry is physical
@Rockets yeah i got the technical speak down but i honestly plan on just applying to a bunch of jobs every 1-2 years just to stay sharp in interviewing and what the industry is looking for
and my clinical depression was NOT a mental illness at all. its physical
anyone successfully quit caffeine? i am on day 1 and have an insane headache and super sleepy
@machtyn interviewing is great experience, anytime I switched companies I would interview with 5 or so in the same time-span
need to make sure i'm on the top of my game
Caffeine is my lord
but some instituions i visited for at ime supposed to help with such stuff, yeah, you were actualy talking to social workers reporting to psychiatrists.
and if i took her seriously, i would be dead now.
@Kazemaru i drank way too much lol so that is why i am just quitting
don't hop too much though unless the place is just really bad, stick around until you feel your ready for bigger challenges
@Rockets yeah no i try to stay with one company for at least 3 years
like, she absolutly denied the physical
BEAUTIFUL!
every 3-5 years i bounce and try to make states too
Many people in the area of psychology give me the vibe of being mind-body-dualists
One of this days I must give a break to my lord too. Someday... But not today!
And in fact i specificly asked this one
and she confirmed to me
