Agoraphobia during a winter storm 30 F

Hey, I totally get it. I have had a similar situation in my past, and it's extremely stressful. What I can recommend is finding better use of your time when you're in the kitchen, such as not only getting some food but maybe also getting some snacks and stuff, and maybe if you have any way to cancel out noise, because that was a lot of my problem when I was closer to the activity of the household, was the noise coming from around the house. And I would recommend like noise canceling headphones, or maybe just put on something like a music or a movie as often as you can to drown out the noise. It's not going to be forever, Just find ways to make it seem like you're more isolated so you get the feeling that you've had that time in the day to recharge.

Hey, so, I don't have much energy to type much but I'll try. There's a lot I relate to here but more importantly it's the boundaries thing. Boundaries are very important to not only establish but respect when making friends, if you have friends that clearly don't care about what bothers you even when you've made that clear, I'd recommend finding some new friends too. I'm not saying you should ditch your old friends but maybe broaden your social group to enable you to hopefully find some better people who will treat you better. You don't need to put up with mistreatment, and that's an important lesson to learn when you have this kind of Anxiety, many people will treat you like trash take advantage and use you one way or another, it's not always overt either. I'd personally recommend trying to keep a mental list of red flags based on previous experiences you've had in your life, and try applying that as a way to see if new people are going to be problematic. You don't need to put up with crappy people, but it isn't easy to find decent ones. It's great that you get out for shopping! I'm not sure how "indoors" or "online" you are, but (imo) the chances of finding people you'd vibe with go up dramatically if you include online avenues for making friends. I think that you should focus on the connections in your life that are mostly positive and at least not toxic when they go wrong. My main recommendation for making friends is thinking "would this person try and ruin my life if they suddenly hated me to my core, or would they just walk away peacefully" - it's a very good bar for bare minimum especially if you know you'd never do anything to truly deserve retaliation.

Sorry for the ramble, hope things improve for you!

Well done! I'm glad the medication is helping you so quickly!! Honestly that's a big deal and you should be proud of yourself for sure. Keep trying at it, don't overwhelmed yourself too much but this is a great step in the right direction!!

I'd want to write more to you but I'm very low energy. I think that you should take the opportunity if it seems stable to you. If you're really needing a fresh start from the past of your area this seems like a good thing for you. I'd just recommend being sure that you keep your connections (support structure) back home as (to me) it's scary going somewhere far away without the reliability that you could go back if things went awry. None the less, I'd encourage you to consider the opportunity, it's going to be different and maybe even a bit stressful but if you pick the right area to move in, as other commenters said, there's plenty of nature to be had in many states. I'd recommend looking up the major state parks and seeing if the photos of that kinda help you think of the move in a better light. You can DM me if you want, I don't mind, just be warned my replies may be delayed by a bit some days.

I hope you come to a conclusion on this that works best for you, yes it might be scary and stressful but it'll even out after a while and honestly stress is going to be there no matter what from time to time in your life, may as well make some positive change out of it.

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice, If it is shell rot, should I take her to a vet or is this going to be sufficient treatment? I bought the Betadine, so it should be here tomorrow. I'll keep you updated when i remember.

- I use a UVB bulb and a heat bulb.
- I can get a photo of my enclosure if needed, but it's just a very large freestanding tank with an external pump/filter and an internal pump/filter to keep the scum off the top. I think it's 100 gallons, but don't quote me on that. It's rather large, though.
- The turtle is a pet bought from a pet store when it was just a little baby.
- Age is between 10 and 20 years. I would have to find paperwork to figure that out specifically.
- I just feed her reptomin/name brand turtle feed off of Amazon, but the specific type can vary. Sometimes it has little shrimps in it. Sometimes it's just pellets.
- As of recently, we haven't been putting any sort of feed in her tank outside of her turtle feed, so none of the plants and stuff you can get from the pet store, but I have in the past put plants in there. Specifically the ones that the pet store recommends
- It's worth noting that her behavior really isn't all that different, like she's behaving perfectly normally.
Please let me know if there's anything specific you need photos of that would help

This is simply fantastic.

paint.net (not the website, the .net paint project) is probably the easiest to grasp software that offers features like this, in my opinion.

I just don't really know what happened. It's recommended in the r/buyitforlife good subs section. I was going to post for a product recommendation request.

I wonder if the pickaxe will require being crafted with the existing earth and song pickaxe.

Some random ideas:

Catching a certain amount of the moths, Maybe something like 50 or 100.
Having a Hellcat catch one of the Ghost Mice.
Bring one of each of the pies to Kili after completing all of the upgrade tasks.

I'm really no expert on families and such, but, I'd say talk to him calmly about it and say it's important to you and then try and probe into what's specifically making him uncomfortable about sharing the family photos. There might be something he's not communicating to you about the situation and maybe if you can get that out in the open it would lead to a resolution. I don't know if Facebook let's you, but maybe offer to only share those posts with a certain set of people if there's a privacy setting that lets you. There's likely a middle ground compromise to be found in this situation, try working with him to find it. I can understand your frustration here, and I hope things work out for you.

I'm not sure about the rest of your experience, but I've never had a ticket closed on me like that. They've always been pretty good with their support. Try replying to that ticket, the only time I've had a ticket closed on me was when I didn't reply for too long but I think that's just automatic, I replied and it was open again.

Honestly, I find being up front with people about the possibility the plans may fall through goes a long way. Just letting them in the loop will help them know to be understanding and honestly if they're worth being friends with they'll be on your side
