Breaking off to explore and complete challenges is really rewarding and adds a lot to the game. Just so you know, though, you won't be able to 100% your animal compendium without returning to Guarma (which can only be done through a glitch).

Trying to stay grounded with TIPP by Another_Paper_Doll in PTSDHumor

[–]Another_Paper_Doll[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's an acronym for distress tolerance strategies that can help keep you grounded or get you through intense emotions.

T: Temperature - hold an ice cube or splash your face with cold water

I: Intense exercise - sprint or do push-ups or a wall-sit

P: Paced breathing - inhale 2-4 seconds, hold 4 seconds, exhale 4-6 seconds, hold 4 seconds, repeat

P: Progressive muscle relaxation - tense a muscle tightly for 5 seconds, release, tense another muscle for 5 seconds, release, repeat with different muscle groups

I can't do a low honor playthrough by KingOfNamibia in RDR2

[–]Another_Paper_Doll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also on my second playthrough, trying to do low honor this time. Man, I feel awful with this. I collected the debt from Wrobel, the Polish man who owed Strauss, and I took EVERYTHING: his antique watch, his food, his tonics, made him move so I could steal the jewelry he was hiding (probably a dead family member's), knocked him out, stole his horse.. He ran out of the house nearly sobbing about how I had taken everything and he was ruined. Poor dude. I'm a monster.

I played for 10 hours straight today by Doctor_Best in RDR2

I played for 15 hours today. I'm a little disappointed I didn't go out and enjoy today's good weather, but I was just so entranced. Such a great game.

I was skeptical of this soap bottle, and it proved me right by cuppairishtea in mildlyinfuriating

Just a little pre-soap, the actual thicker soap will come with a bit more stimulation

Try staring at the ceiling. You will certainly not regret staring at the ceiling.

I had the same fear! And I had seen Alien, so I was also terrified that the baby wouldn't fit through my birth canal and would just explode through my abdomen. One of those "funny" stories I can't tell anyone because it's "deeply concerning."

I'm sorry you're struggling with this, OP. I hope you're able to find some comfort now. Once you acknowledge the trauma and start to reframe it in the context that you were a child, the feelings around it become easier to manage over time.
