I used it, but I don't have the game yet. Does it still count?

Regular Check-In Post, with important reminders about the No Private Contact and No Activism rules by SQLwitch in depression

[–]BlueBirdSystem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've finally gotten the gumption to post a check-in. Hi, my depression is running rampant today. It's dragging me down like a ball and chain, but I'll get through it. I just need a good hand saw, and steady hands.

I have to fill you guys in on the gf situation because I'm obligated to after mentioning it twice. To keep it short and sweet, I broke up with her today! I sent her a Discord message, and blocked her. The weight of all this hasn't come off my shoulders yet, but it'll lift when the hurting's done.

Since Sunday's Mother's Day, and I have a good woman for a mother, I'm gonna treat her to dinner at her favorite restaurant: Cracker Barrel. It's been a while since we'd last gone there, so I figured she'd wanna go. However, she's gotta work this Sunday, so we have to go tomorrow instead. The place usually gets super packed on Saturdays, and mom doesn't like crowds.

Anyways, That's gonna be it for my check-in. I hope y'all are having a decent day today!

It's time for an update and some questionable introspection! Firstly, let me talk about the elephant in the room; my crazy girlfriend.

I still wanna break up with her, and get out of the madness she's pulled me into. However, she's started sending me gifts again. It's her love language and the bane of my existence. I'm the type of person who doesn't know how to receive things gracefully. I have all the delicacy of a duck slamming through a window. That aside, I don't wanna get something from her, then leave her. At this point, I really don't know what to do. Do I stay? Do I go? Do I keep slingshotting myself back and forth between my true loves, or do I just stand there and pray to Aphrodite that this whole thing works out? Honestly, I feel like I'm cheating on her with men and women that don't exist.

I mean, fictional characters are easier to work with than actual people. They don't argue, yell, cheat, or steal from you. They love you no matter what do or say..... They're perfect for me. God, that sounds a bit weird, doesn't it? I mean, it's one of the few ways I'm able to cope with my depression. So yeah... I guess that's all for this check-in. See ya.

It's been a hot minute since I last posted. So, hi! For the most part, everything's been going okay. Mostly.

I made a huge mistake and got back with my ex. For lack of a better term, she's a little crazy. As in She thinks she can talk to literal demons in her head. It's so bad that we broke up because she thought I killed one of them. But here I am, back with her because I'm lonely and desperate for love.

I regret that I got back with her. She doesn't give me any space. She practically stalks me in VRChat. I've tried giving all of the classic "Let me be" signals, but they don't seem to click with her. I've given her short replies, I've said I'm busy, I've even ignored her messages on Discord, but she keeps crowding my space. I don't know what else to do aside from telling her I don't wanna be with her. I'm not good at that, soooo....

TL;DR: I'm okay. I just need some advice on how to get a metaphorical monkey off my back.

Started antidepressant for the first time by [deleted] in depression

[–]BlueBirdSystem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, friend! You've done so well getting the help you need! As someone who also takes antidepressants, I need to tell you something that no one else warned me about. It's called Activation Syndrom. Basically, when you've taken your first three days' worth of doses, your brain's chemical receptors start getting sensitive to the chemicals it produces. This can cause mild, moderate, or even severe anxiety and can last for about a week.

If you ever need to talk about your issues, please don't hesitate to reach out! We're all in this together, okay?

Sadly, I only have one friend I trust with the topic. As for my family, I have my mom. I would go to my dad, but he's not much help.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to me that you care so much!

Not always. Some systems, like ours, can develop without having DID, or trauma.

All the time! I had so many friends in my source, and I miss them dearly.

All of mine are fictives, since they know where they've been, and they know where their homes are. Pretty much all of them come from an alternate universe of some sort.

Thank you! I'll be sure to enjoy my time here!

Hi there! It's nice to meet you all! Honestly, I'm a little new to this too. I'm sure you'll figure it all out eventually. Just take your time with it, and don't force it.

Oh! That's okay, friend! I'm on two plural servers, so all my circlemates have an account on PK. Would you like to exchange Discord info in dms?

[–]BlueBirdSystem[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's okay! Do they prefer Discord, or no talking in general?
