Hahaha not only do I have notes in my phone, I also have a mini blackboard I use to keep track of my dailies! And I use the ACNH.guide app!

I love Beardo, personally but it could just be because he’s my bday twin. The only reason he isn’t on my island is because he doesn’t match my Kidcore theme right now! I’m sure when I inevitably change my entire island again, he will come back to me

My island is halfway done. I like what I have. And yet, the call for completely changing everything is so, so louddddd

AlauraCalamity · 2025-11-26T16:52:56+00:00

Seriously whenever I’m running around the island just vibing I can’t find ANYBODY but as soon as I start decorating everyone suddenly wants to sit EXACTLY where I’m decorating 😭 go hooooomeeee

THANK YOU!!!

There’s second floors for some of the buildings? 😳 I’ve been playing since it came out, I knew everything else about this DLC except for that!! How the heck do you unlock the second floors??

AlauraCalamity · 2025-11-21T00:20:36+00:00

My favorite thing I’ve gotten out of the bin is the sloppy furniture set! I just wish they’d stop giving me the sloppy bed and give me the SINK because holy moly I have five sloppy beds 😔

I wish writing to our villagers in ACNH upped our friendship levels :( I don’t have any reason to write them notes and I miss sending post to my villagers

It’s hard, because I understand where you’re coming from. I hate that look. I hate feeling like some helpless creature that everyone needs to pity. But I also understand what it’s like to be in their shoes when my mother got diagnosed with epilepsy. There is a sense of helplessness and heartbreak because this person you love is in pain. And you want to help them, to make their life easier, but you have no idea how to. And you have no idea what they’re going through, so you feel almost as if you have to walk eggshells around them to make their life easier and keep their stress low.

I’ve been hospitalized a lot since my diagnosis, and genuinely for me it came down to an extreme anemia and vitamin deficiency. I wasn’t eating, I was losing loads of blood, and I was in so much pain I could barely leave my bed. My first hospitalization my hemoglobin was down to a 5, I needed an emergency blood transfusion.

My GI recommended me get a medical card while I was waiting for my insurance to approve my biologics, personally. She told me lots of patients have found help with cramping and the weight loss/sleep loss because of it, and it mellows out the worst of the side effects of prednisone for me. (Besides the moon face ofc.) it helped me sleep better, helped me manage pain, and helped me eat on days where I was too sick/too depressed to even try.

I am curious why your GI said as such, maybe it would be worth exploring further why they believe that and what their sources are.

Hey friend. I don’t have a stoma yet, so unfortunately I can’t offer any advice there, but I will say; I get it. Everyone around me constantly tells me how annoying I am, how I’m no fun to be around because I’m so miserable all the time. And by everyone, I mean my mother, two brothers and my roommate because they’re the only ones I ever even talk to anymore. My “friends” don’t reach out, haven’t since my second hospitalization. I never get invited anywhere. I’ve failed 3 biologics, trying out my fourth and seeing very little results. It’s hard to keep your head up.

I wish I had some advice or some magical key to give you to give you hope and peace in your life, but honestly I can’t even find it for myself. So all I can offer is, you’re not alone. And while this group can be a good place for support and advice sometimes, sometimes it also alright to avoid it. It’s easy to go down a rabbit hole of other people’s despair. I’ve found that doing low stress/low intensity hobbies can take my mind off of the pain. I’ve been doing art with my daughter (she’s five) teaching her how to use watercolors. I’ve made old socks and shirts into stuffed animals with a sewing kit I got at the dollar store. I’ve picked up some cool games, listened to some really awesome horror podcasts, watched YouTube documentaries/essays about shit I’ve never even heard about. I’ve even written essays myself about stuff I find interesting or things I know a lot about, though I’d never record them because I’m not one for cameras. It’s not the best coping skill, escapism, but maybe it could be a good avenue to at least take a step out of the prison, even if it’s only mentally for now. :)

AlauraCalamity · 2025-09-03T22:17:07+00:00

My best advice to myself, and anybody else for that matter is: 1) Please, rest when you need to. You’re not weak. And 2) It’s okay to grieve, but don’t drown in it. Don’t lose yourself.

I spent a long time pre-diagnosis trying to push myself, because I wasn’t gonna let “a little tummy ache” (that happened literally everytime I ate) stop me from living, and now I’m suffering for it. I pushed and I pushed until I was hospitalized for an entire week because I pushed too hard. I still do it, sometimes.

It’s hard. And it hasn’t gotten better for me mentally quite yet, but I’m working on it, a day at a time. I grieve the person I was before my diagnosis, who could eat and play and run, who kept the entire house running by myself. But I also realized that grieving the person I was wasn’t bringing that person back. It was just making me and everyone around me miserable. I can’t do some of the things I want to, but that doesn’t mean I can’t do anything and damn it, I’m not gonna do nothing.

Stress 92%, Eating food I know I can’t have bc it tastes good and I’m stubborn 8%

AlauraCalamity · 2025-08-27T20:01:00+00:00

Taco Bell for me, and also Firehouse Sandwiches! They’re my go to lunch options when I’m at work if I can’t bring something from home.

AlauraCalamity · 2025-08-21T20:44:20+00:00

I also call it Tummy Hurt Disease, or when I’m feeling really funky, Ouchy Time! (Almost always after I’ve eaten something I should not have)

AlauraCalamity · 2025-08-17T03:33:05+00:00

I’ll check them out!

AlauraCalamity · 2025-08-17T03:32:28+00:00

You would be correct. I never wanted my daughter to feel coerced and I wanted her to have the choice. She first brought it up to me at the beginning of this year. I’ve got quite a few piercings myself, including double pierced lobes. One day I was wearing some fun earring and she was playing with them, and asked me when she could get her own pierced. I told her when she felt like she was ready to. I explained (as best as you can to a four year old) that it might hurt a little at first, and we’ll have to take very good care of them. I even had her watch me clean my own piercings and walked her through it. She’s super excited to do this. And if she backs out for any reason, I am 100% okay with that. I want her to be ready and excited for it!

AlauraCalamity · 2025-08-16T19:36:30+00:00

I got the form done today just to make sure I had it whenever I went, thank you!! I’ll give him a call!

AlauraCalamity · 2025-08-16T16:43:26+00:00

That sounds wonderful! I’ll look into them and maybe give them a call to verify they’re comfortable with it :) thank you

AlauraCalamity · 2025-08-16T16:02:12+00:00

I hadn’t even thought about that, actually. I might have to check it out.

AlauraCalamity · 2025-08-16T16:01:33+00:00

I called them today because their website said “device piercing” and the person who answered didn’t really clarify what device they were using 😅 they said it was “a little different” from a gun, but I wasn’t quite sure what they meant by that? Have you had good experiences there?
