That is absolutely what follows. I am doing MUCH better, I’ve had 2.5 years sober in the last 3 years because I thought I was “cured” and started “moderating” last summer. The stop drinking subreddit was amazing insight and help. It’s on lemmy but the only posts are the daily checkin. I should start being more active on it to boost it.
You are correct. Thank you for holding me accountable. Sometimes I can be shortsighted, as it is human nature, and not consider the whole story. Sorry OP for coming off as a dick. I am empathetic to your situation and I hope you find some justice and your friend and her child can find a way to leave safely.
“Just have one or two and then stop” when telling a friend I’m an alcoholic. Well shit, thanks! That never even crossed my mind!
But they read the article about the one thing doctors don’t want you to know and now they need to tell you.
Why doesn’t your “friend” stick up for you to this asshole? If legal routes don’t work, you can always find some sort of petty revenge to make his life a living hell. If you’re into that kind of thing.
Our brains are interesting things. Thanks for sharing :)
Ah I love fishing but I can’t get myself to do anything but standard or four corners farms. Navigating the hilltop farm was annoying for me, I didn’t even finish a year. I worry the same will happen with the river farm.
I almost started another today as well. What farm did you go with this time?
You just made me feel a lot better because I also have 700+ hours in Stardew! It’s such a relaxing game with the music and the calming environments and pretty colors.
The Stardew Valley music is where it’s at
Did something trigger the psychotic break? Did you previously have interest in the Russian mafia that led to you believing it was that specific organization coming after you? I’m glad you were able to get help and treatment!
I’ve experienced that as well with emails. I’ve gotten faster over the years because of the amount I’ve had to send but have definitely spent 30+ minutes writing some of them. I will write it and then read it out loud to myself to make sure it makes sense and, like you said, doesn’t sound rude or aggressive. Realistically, no matter how careful you are people still might misinterpret it. I’ve never been diagnosed or sought to be diagnosed with ADHD so it’s hard to say. I’m too stubborn to seek a diagnosis and try meds because it’s just one more thing for me to forget to do 😅
I got majorly downvoted once for sharing my opinion on not wanting to travel to a foreign country alone as a woman. A lot of flippant comments too. Like okay, this is not the sub for me. I still can’t believe I was attacked like I was.
Yes! The guilt eats you alive and completely paralyzes you! I never could figure out what made me tick to help improve my study habits. But I just graduated so I managed and now I’m done forever! You will always wish you started sooner, no matter how early you start.
For little things like emails, consider how they take barely 5 mins to do. We have 1,440 minutes in a day and we can’t even take 5 to send the freaking email?! I use that mindset for chores too. I gripe and moan about the kitty litter box but it takes 60 seconds to just scoop the damn thing.
“Just do it” is such easy advice to give but I feel your pain OP. There are things I want to accomplish that I CANNOT get myself up to do. I can’t execute plans or schedules for things that don’t immediately threaten my livelihood. It’s a real PITA. Executive dysfunction is a term I’ve read about recently that describes this.
I’m convinced the way we think about things is the driving force. For example, I’ve always struggled to work out regularly. What’s really been helping me the last month is the mantra “I’ll never regret working out but I absolutely will regret not working out”. So try to critically evaluate your thought processes behind the things you want to accomplish and see if there is another way of thinking about it that makes doing it easier.
Ah yes I’ve heard almost nothing about it other than what you just said. I want to give it a shot and haven’t really looked up too much about it so I can go in with as few spoilers as possible. I just need a computer first! I had a gaming laptop but the battery is spicy right now so I don’t go near it with a ten foot pole.
She looks so sophisticated for little old stardew. Which mod is this?
Haha probably!! I can easily self diagnose myself with it but have never formally gotten an evaluation. I’m so sorry you can relate
I recently home brewed my 3DS and looked into doing the same for my switch but I don’t have money to replace it if I brick it so I’m waiting. Agree that Nintendo are greedy bastards. If you already have a ton of steam games then a steam deck makes the most sense.
I feel you on the minmaxing AND playing wow for way too long (quit after legion). I inevitably fill my day with errands to the point I write them down to make sure my day is efficient. I’ve even restarted days because I didn’t, say, buy seeds and now the store is closed or even needing to catch the bus to give sandy a gift. But that usually starts happening mid summer when I’m feeling the pressure of bundle completion and some time consuming item. It definitely sucks the joy out of it.
I’ve heard the grip is much better on the steam deck! Sad to hear the screen is still subpar. I’m on the fence about getting one but seems redundant since I have a switch.
I initially loved Shane my very first farm, but then once I married him, his room was disgusting and it probably smells really bad. I can’t just use him for the blue chickens and divorce him either. I’ll be his friend and help him through his difficult times, but won’t marry him again. I always make sure to give him peppers for gifts since they’re loved and don’t enable his drinking.
I really like Abigail! I feel like I’m rescuing her from Pierre lol. I like her adventurous spirit too. I generally marry a new person each play through and also have been considering Sebastian or Krobus!
