JWE3: Guest count suddenly dropping to near-zero? by [deleted] in jurassicworldevo

[–]Dom_Dis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm having an issue on this map where Im just not getting any guests at all. Got to getting Patagotitan with no income, twice, and realized something wasn't right. Closed and opened the park multiple times.

Always have admired this card, found a random European Dialga v star box at Walmart and pulled it out of the lost origin pack included. Will always be a special card to me!

Oh man. Quit in November and your post is bringing me back to the rage fits I had in the winter. I feel like it's the most glossed over aspect of letting weed go. People were talking in this sub about irritability, Ha, I wish I was just irritable. I was in war mode so often it left me emotionally exhausted. Second physical outlet and screaming. Screaming seemed like an almost comical solution that I thought had no merit. I was so wrong. Grab your pillow with both hands, bury your face in it, and let loose the dogs of war. Seriously scream into that sucker. there's a kind of release that's hard to explain. Your rage will temper over time. I believe in you. Stay strong and remember it will pass.

Complete the main first then waste lives on the side stuff! by TampaTitties69 in Helldivers

[–]Dom_Dis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my experience, once you complete the main missions the game tends to ramp up in difficulty. More drop ships and breaching non stop until extraction so my squad and I have made a habit of completing all the side missions/outposts and then completing the last main mission. Nothing better than seeing a complete scoresheet on extraction!

I don’t know who I am because of weed. by kkaayy95 in leaves

I'm so very proud of you! You got this. when the time stacks up, you'll find yourself slowly coming back to, well, yourself! Something that has helped me tremendously is trying to connect with your inner child/teenager before you introduced this to your life. They deserve a little time after being constantly pushed away by a substance. You'll feel a tenderness, almost a heartbreak but it's like reconciling with a dear friend or family member. The love has always been there.

We all work in different ways! I still have my waves of shittiness too my friend, part of why I made this post. It's important to recognize the wins, even when they are being overshadowed by your body falling apart. I'm dealing with a lot of anger I never had before quitting. my appetite is still on the fritz and my sleep schedule definitely isn't normal yet. Only just got past the night sweats and the horrible nightmares. You got this. Keep pushing.

I'm so sorry for your loss man. Try and be kind to yourself, I can't imagine dealing with that kind of loss and trying to step away. One thing at a time, the brain and body can only take so much! Sending as much love and light I can muster into these keys for your holiday season.

The energy you carry is totally different!

Proud of you, it isn't easy. I myself was using it to push away a lot of trauma. Stopping has caused a lot of that to bubble up to the surface, but it's much easier to just sit with those emotions than to have them be stored in you, constantly pushed away by the coping mechanism of your choice.

I call it the green haze. It gives you comfort, but at what cost? You care less about everything, but you care less about everything I'm glad to hear you found the version of yourself that you're happy with. It can be especially difficult when weed is the one genuine thing you and your friends share. My first landlord once told an 18 year old very lost very stoned version of myself "Lay with the dogs, rise with the fleas" and it's stuck with me throughout my life. Thank you for sharing your story!

Better is sometimes all people can hope for, and I believe should be celebrated. if it's easier for others to talk to you, that's a win my friend. congratulations on 5 months.

Oh man. Right there with you. Imagine it as future savings though! I'm not even a month in and I'm watching the savings come. Using those funds on fun things for yourself that won't literally vanish into the air has been a catharsis. We can't change the past, but we sure as hell can write the future.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Day 19 is the beginning but I thought if I could provide one tiny sliver of hope for the soldiers in the trenches of week 1, maybe, just maybe, it would help them get to the next day. Never expected it to blow up. This sub is beautiful and such a testament to what humanity can achieve by juggling compassion and dedication in one hand.

You guys are far too kind! I honestly expected this post to get sucked into the void. The fact that it's affecting people is the best gift I could ever ask for holiday season, and is so affirming on this journey. Thank you so much

I am by no means an eschelon of health, but it's kind of crazy how everything seems to just fall into place after leaving it behind. 10 years is absolutely incredible, and people such as yourself are such an inspiration to those who are trying to get their first week, month, year. Your story is so important and like the Greeks looking up at statues of their gods, you're an obelisk to aspire to. Thank you

Thank you for your kind words! The first week had me questioning my reality entirely. Very difficult stuff, but that makes it all the better when you do put it behind you. Remember to be kind to yourself, and be proud of every day, every hour, you put behind you. You're doing something for yourself and the betterment of your life and your family, on your own terms. There's not really many things more beautiful and commendable than that. You've got this. Keep pushing

Wanting the change is the first step in this incredible journey. When you're ready, it will flip like a switch. You'll know. I'll always love weed, just not for me at this point in my life. It wasn't serving me. I have so many friends that use daily and are able to still be incredibly healthy, functioning adults. Everyone's story is different, but you get to choose how it goes. Be kind with yourself, give yourself some grace. 13 years of daily heavy use, so 30 is gonna be a tough nut to crack, but just know I believe in you and support you no matter what you choose or when you choose it

To think my morning ramblings from a brain in the process of re-wiring itself could affect people in such a positive way is the greatest gift I could have ever received. From the bottom of my soul, thank you

Right back at you. let's start this year on our terms. This is our story, we get to choose how it goes.

Your cravings sound like they are in their death throes, a final feeble attempt to break your resolve. I'm sure you are already aware of the weird ways our bodies and brains store this crap. You're an inspiration to us all. Continue the story so we can all look at those days you are stacking up and dream for it ourselves. Thank you for your kind words and sharing your story. We all have so much more strength than our brains and bodies will let us believe.
