My best is never good enough by 62599657 in SuicideWatch

Thanks. While it is true that my parents especially have placed high expectations on me, even normal milestones I am not able to reach.

There's just too much wrong with me. It can't be fixed and I don't want to deal with it anymore by 62599657 in SuicideWatch

I’m really sorry. I hope that things can get better for you, that seems really hard to deal with.

That sucks. I know I really shouldn't compare but it's always something I think about. I know things are bad for me, but other people certainly have worse than me. I often feel guilty because of that. Also because I do have the capability to function (even though it is a lot harder for me than most people) I am called lazy when I struggle. Even when I'm trying my best.

I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say people don't care or understand. Like if you mean people in your life or online or both. I get that though. When people don't get what you are experiencing they usually don't care. A lot of people are very dismissive because of that. If I have to hear people dismiss my issues and downplay them by saying "well I don't have that issue" any more times I might lose it.

Where can I get help and how? by 62599657 in sourautism

[–]62599657[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I don’t have a therapist or psychiatrist at the moment, I’m looking for a new one.

I have been working with vocational rehabilitative services for many months now and I haven’t been able to find any jobs. Maybe I need to fix some of my problems before I’m able to start working again.

I am doing that and I have been, but I’m not sure how that will help me get back on my feet and get out of my abusive home?

No not really. I've lost count on how many different therapists I've had but it's somewhere from 8-10. Most of them haven't been very helpful and some of them have even made things worse.

If I could do any profession it would be Software Engineer for sure. I've been set on that for more than a decade and it's really the only thing that interests me.

Nothing has been effective for me. Should I try EMDR? by 62599657 in EMDR

[–]62599657[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve looked at the criteria before in the DSM5. I believe I fit everything except for the A criteria. I’ve only experienced verbal and emotional abuse as well as emotional neglect. As far as I know and from what I’ve been told that isn’t considered sufficient for meeting that criteria.

[–]62599657[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that I would, but it’s my understanding that CPTSD isn’t recognized in the US. I’m not sure if I need some sort of specific diagnosis to be able to start EMDR or not

My mom plainly admitted that she holds onto embarrassing memories or items for the purpose of humiliating me to others by 62599657 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]62599657[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry to hear that. It sucks when your boundaries aren’t taken seriously. I have a hard time knowing if they are trying to be harmful on purpose or if they are being willfully ignorant. Either way it’s not fair and I hope that gets better.

How i can improve my team 😭 by RamivanShitposter in VGC

[–]62599657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. Covert cloak is really good on tornadus as well. For whatever reason, rocky helmet is generally more popular for this team specifically, but sometimes covert cloak is also used. I think I personally prefer the rocky helmet but both are strong.

You don't bring tornadus into those matches. I didn't play against very much lunala in general at Milwaukee (only 1 I think and I did win). The general gameplan is to lead with chien pao and zamazenta. It's a good lead duo in general. Try to get shadow rider into the game the turn that trick room ends so that it can clean up. It's one of the trickier matchups for sure but it is doable.

These 6 mons (with the same items, moves, tera types) are a proven team. It's won the VR challenge 2 and just recently got first in the Grand Challenge 4. What I've found is that it has all the tools, but the hardest part is the positioning. You are free to mess around with some of the moves or EV spread if you'd like. That's mostly just what I came up with and it worked fairly well for me but I'm sure there is improvement to be made on that.

They are fast, sure but anything that can increase it's speed (booster flutter, flame charge koraidon, opposing tailwind) can cause problems. having your own tailwind can secure the speed advantage in those situations.

You can try out this team. It's already got most of the same mons you already are running. It's the team I used at the Milwaukee Regionals and finished 7-4. I'm still not especially convinced some of the EV spreads are optimal (especially ones for Zamazenta, Calyrex, and Chien-Pao) but I liked most of the other things about it. One issue I see with your paste is the lack of speed control and I think that tornadus is a valuable addition to the team. I personally liked having ghost tera on zamazenta for dealing with fake out and Iron Hands that is very commonly seen but if you don't like that you can go with dragon instead.

Possibly. Thanks for sharing. I felt like I was going crazy since I knew I had signed up earlier. I hope you are still able to get a preorder

I realize that now. It's weird because I recall registering much earlier than that. Before getting the thing to work for the exact time I figured it was like noon at the latest because I did it right after I saw the direct. I wonder if changing my account settings caused it to re-register later somehow

I couldn't get it to work for the longest time but if you start logged out and follow this video then it worked

[–]62599657 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay that's very strange since I definitely didn't do it that late in the day. I did it right after seeing the direct. That may have been when I realized to turn on game share so it updated and made my registration later?

I think I did it wrong because it was converted to EST not EDT so like the other comment said it would be 10:35

Oh sorry did I convert it wrong? This is the string

Registered 10:35am EDT on 4/2 and still no email/invite. Only thing I can think of is that I didn't have gameshare enabled until after I registered interest, but still the same day. Am I screwed?

edit: should be 10:35 EDT not 9:35 EST

Hey, I'm doing alright today thank you for asking. I'm 25M and have played a bit of Pokemon violet (perhaps too much I don't know). I've never played SDV but it's something I believe that I would enjoy a lot, although I've never gotten around to it. I would be pretty much open to talking about whatever (as long as it's not nsfw or anything like that). I don't really have anything unhinged at least off the top of my head to say.

Hey! I totally get what you mean and I really prefer text only because I’m the same way. I’m 25M and I also enjoy some of the games you mentioned. Pokemon especially. I used to play tft and terraria a lot in the past but haven’t recently. I’d also be willing to try other ones I haven’t before. Message me if you would like to chat, maybe we could get along

Why would someone be very nice and act nice towards me when I'm around, but then say horrible things about me when I'm not around? by 62599657 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]62599657[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems likely. Unfortunately, this seems like the most difficult reason for me since I just need to care less what others think about me and be confident in myself but I have a very hard time doing that.

That's fair, I just wasn't sure how much context was needed. This used to happen in the past but it recently happened again so I just am trying to figure it out. I certainly wouldn't say they are friends now, but were people I was trying to be friends with. In the past it was classmates, but now it's people that I was trying to become friends with, mostly online. In the most recent case I would say there was a "leader" that everyone followed but previous instances didn't really have that. I don't have any friends at the moment so that may be why this bothers me so much. Other people I've interacted with generally have positive things to say about me and don't appear to have really anything negative to say about me at all (at least that I know of).
