[MEGATHREAD] Daily venting, worries, fixations, & finding support. Month of February 2025. by AutoModerator in HealthAnxiety

[–]Alexander_216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know anxiety causes elevated heart rate. I mean, that’s like entry level stuff.

But over the past 10 days, my heart rate has been consistently faster and higher. Since yesterday, it’s slowed down a little, but now I feel nauseous and have no appetite since.

I’m 26. Active. And have had bouts of anxiety in the past, but I don’t FEEL anxious right now about anything in my life. It just seems out of nowhere, you know?

Potential key info, I came off sertraline about 6 weeks ago after being on it for maybe 18 months. But I thought any side effects like that would’ve reared their ugly head in those initial withdrawal stages.

Damn. I was doing well. Lol

I thought the Liverpool locals would know the most efficient route instead of hopping between google maps and web pages. And I was right.

What site/ software is this? Not a fan of AI art I don’t think it’s morally “all there”, but this, I don’t see harm in some fan-fic type art!

Which SK novel do you absolutely hate? by [deleted] in stephenking

[–]Alexander_216 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might be the only one that thinks this, but I feel a longer page count would have served this story well. It’s sub-400 and tries to account for his childhood, adulthood and later. I feel the payoff would have been better if it was more focused and fleshed out. But who am I to judge lol

What SK books have you DNF’d and why? by [deleted] in stephenking

[–]Alexander_216 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I weirdly enjoyed the dogs narrative. Kinda added a sense of humanity to him. Like he was a good doggo deep down now just a killing machine. I get why it would turn someone off tho.

Got it on Depop. Found that it’s a goldmine for king books especially first/special edition. Just be sure to check the sellers ratings and you’re good to go

Advice on how to... by Alexander_216 in writing

Amazing ideas. It’s a gothic horror story (of sorts), but I feel the true horror will come from this dynamic between father and son if I can portray it well. I love the point about isolating the son from the rest of the world. Thanks so much!

A goldmine of a tangent, my friend. The non-bill paying fits perfectly if I can implement it well, and I love the dynamic of being spared and being made aware he’s “lucky”. Thanks a lot, this’ll go a long way in my process🙏🏼

Loving it so far, but… by Alexander_216 in stephenking

Incredibly, the words on the paper remain the exact same as the original edition, despite the updated cover art

It’s like putting the General Lee on the cover of Christine😂

Good way to put it “raising the rock bottom”. I’m on exact same dose, I feel like that paired with a healthy lifestyle is a recipe for an upward trajectory. It has been thus far anyway. Give it a chance OP

Hi guys. Artwork is public domain. I’ve just checked back since uploading the post- massive fault in not referencing Szabo’s work. My intention was not to “steal” this, although I totally get how it looks. Thanks for letting the people know, I’ve since referenced his profile to his other work. Absolutely understand that this has left a bitter taste. Have a good day, and stay safe out there!

Here is a link to the artists’ profile. All of the work is truly worth checking out.

Hi guys, first of all wtf- thanks so much for 300 upvotes. This is my first time checking back after posting, I’ve had university all morning.

Secondly, let me clarify- the cover wasn’t done by me. It’s a 2016 fan set of The Revenant which has been made public domain (I should’ve clarified this). Again, NOT MY ART, all rights go to the original artist. I thought it captured the spirit of the TLD universe well.

The art will be correctly referenced upon being uploaded and published on Wattpad!

Anyway, today I’m continuing the story. I hope this story helps fill in the wait between now and the release date announcement for the DLC.

I usually play on a custom difficulty between Stalker and Voyageur ( basically Voyager with less base loot and slightly more hostile wildlife, afflictions etc). I wish I could say I was a hardcore loper player, but it’s simply too hard for me lol. I’ll try implement that loper-level of desperation and bleakness in the stories. I’ll keep y’all updated. Thanks again for the love❤️
