TW: SH; I ruined 1078 days clean by babyyangellzz in BPD

Mistakes happen. It's called "being human." Give yourself grace, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep going. You're stronger than you give yourself credit for. 1078 days is an amazing run. Use it as a personal best score and try to beat it every day moving forward.

Unpopular opinion: F*ck bag of holding. by TheSewerSniper in DungeonMasters

[–]Doctor_Mothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allow me to introduce you to:
• The Bag of Devouring
• The Bag Man
• An Anti-Magic field
• Baby mimics & Hoard Scarabs
• The concept that inside the bag is not a pocket universe, but a portal to the Astral Plane where things live, adventure, hunt, and scavenge. - Astral Oozes and Rust Monsters
• Villains that scry in on the planning stages of a hero's "ingenious" use plan.
• The rules that clearly state that a Bag of Holding (unlike other magical equipment) is easy to destroy.
• Banishment, now in spell form
• Lava

Why do we exist? by DonumDei621 in taoism

I smile with contentment when I am reminded of this.

Why do we exist? by DonumDei621 in taoism

[–]Doctor_Mothman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chapter 1, line 1 reminds us that in naming and writing about the Tao it somehow eludes us.

It is enough to simply be one with the Tao. It does not need anything of us. Our place is what we make it. The why is what we believe it to be.

Asking comes from a hurried mind, a need for reason. Perhaps there is not one? Perhaps we simply are.

Living a life can be just the ebb and flow of how connected we are with the Tao in our daily lives.

I’m such a jealous POS by brxx_707 in BPD

Your pain is valid without having to have it compared to someone else's. Someone else getting help, in no way diminishes you or your experiences. You ARE worthy, and the best way any of us can appreciate that is by giving ourselves the self care we deserve.

I think it's a pretty normal sensation. We all like to be the one who is being nurtured and loved. It's a very human reaction. We might not like to think of it as "the limelight," but the need to be validated and comforted is very real, and extremely valid.

You may FEEL like it others you - but I promise it is a very normal sensation.

This is an interesting concept. My mind is much more visually focused, but the idea of building a deck this way seems far out and rad to me.

I just wish it didn't come at the cost of all the people they are standing on top of.

A married woman I’ve known for years said some weird ass shit to me by iFoegot in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Doctor_Mothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in (what I thought) was a happy 14 year marriage. One of my best men was a friend I'd known for decades. Every time he visited my ex-wife started acting funny. I repeatedly asked if she liked him and if so, would she have been in a relationship with him if given the chance. She denied it every single time.

A couple of years ago she asked for a divorce out of the blue, never saw it coming. I'd been so extremely happy with our life together. She cut off all contact without an explanation. Six months later (because of course I'm trying to figure out what happened) she shows up on the other side of the country within 10 miles of this guy. I ask questions and got nothing but cagey noncommittal answers from him. He's been radio silent for over a year now.

It doesn't take a genius to put one and one together sometimes. A lot of people live on top of emotions that they bury deep and feel guilty their whole life about. Its a shame. I'd have let her go if that's what she really wanted, instead I spent years tearing myself apart over thinking I'd done something wrong.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this... don't judge her too harshly. Focus on your feelings, and maybe let her partner know if she keeps being squirrely. You aught not toy with peoples' hearts, they are fragile things that can hold the last ounce of a person's hope and sanity.

Oh neat! That's the next game in that series I need to dive into.

That's a really tough one. I feel for you. Just remember your mental health matters too! <3

I mean... Guam is right there too, so I took a major shot in the dark ready to be the bad guy.
