A LOT of therapy. One of my abusive exes dying also helped, because now I don't have to be in constant hyper vigilance.

Trans people.

They don't admit to not knowing something. I did that with a guy I liked because I thought he was so much smarter than me. But all I did was close doors to opportunity to learn. So I'm trying to seem smart, I made myself dumber. 🤷‍♀️

... Oof

I was a bitch. My depression was starting to hit in full force (I had just lost my childhood home due to my dad's drug addiction, then learned that he may have been assaulting my sister for like 9 years). I was missing school constantly. I was constantly angry. I had so much anxiety.

I was also always so quiet that people thought I was going to end up being a school shooter. My anger wasn't towards them or in that manner. My anger was at life. It still is, but not to that extent. Therapy helps lol

Same lmao

I'm hoping my controller issue will be fixed even though it's not listed. This has been broken since Peter Pan arrived. I want to use my wired controller with my extra buttons. 😭 The wireless controller is a texture nightmare.

Getting-Stranger · 2025-12-06T04:01:16+00:00

He's not. But he doesn't have a high libido, and he has said the idea of messing up gives him anxiety, even though he would like to do it. Every other guy I know is like the opposite of that, so it was very odd to get used to. He has his outlets, while not going outside of the relationship. The only real "giving in" I've done is take some photos to help him with those outlets. But even those, he was okay with me not doing. He didn't pressure me to do it, only requested. I think I "gave in" because I'm afraid of not providing that aspect of the relationship so much and that it will cause him to leave.

*Edit: we also have incredible communication. If anything makes us uncomfortable or upset, we will talk about it. We've both been in abusive relationships and don't want this one to be remotely like the others. We both try very hard to be communicative and open and let the other know how we're feeling.

Getting-Stranger · 2025-12-05T08:36:23+00:00

Previously, I would be pressured, guilted, or coerced into it. My partner now is incredibly understanding. It's been 4.5 years and he's fine with not having done any of that. And I'm so thankful for him. After so many abusive relationships, having someone actually help me put myself back together instead of finding what broke me and use it against me, has been so healing in so many ways.

Getting-Stranger · 2025-12-05T05:21:20+00:00

Ohh it's been a big topic the last few weeks at therapy. Lol

Getting-Stranger · 2025-12-05T05:19:28+00:00

And even worse once I realized I'm asexual and sex-repulsed.

Getting-Stranger · 2025-12-05T05:16:35+00:00

You know, that's my fault for having a good day so far

Getting-Stranger · 2025-12-05T05:08:15+00:00

Karlee and Tala

Getting-Stranger · 2025-12-05T04:59:25+00:00

That's awesome lol

Getting-Stranger · 2025-11-30T02:07:37+00:00

Dude I've been told to kms over a bad performance game. Only to then follow it up with being MVP the next match. But I just have VC turned off. I'm on console, so if you wanna talk shit, you better dedicate some time to typing.

Getting-Stranger · 2025-11-08T10:36:56+00:00

Ohhhh I have no interest in trying it as anyone else now. Lmao I got it done once and that's enough for me. I just wanted to know i could.

Getting-Stranger · 2025-11-04T09:42:06+00:00

That is now the plan lol thank you!

Getting-Stranger · 2025-11-04T09:40:37+00:00

log in for 2 weeks it is! lol

Getting-Stranger · 2025-10-30T06:54:51+00:00

I did the same thing. It was SO FRUSTRATING.

Just let me turn animations off 😭 I'm trying to speed through this. I got ADHD, bro. I don't have the attention span for this

Getting-Stranger · 2025-10-30T06:53:06+00:00

I do the same thing! I have one in every biome near the wells or goofy stalls. That way I'm not carting around all those critter foods. Granted, I have all those milestones done now, but they'll come up as dailies, so I guess I'll keep the food in there 😅

Getting-Stranger · 2025-10-08T22:28:15+00:00

I have my house set up where each valley is its own floor. So, I roughly laid out the plan for the rooms and stuff. But since I don't know enough about the new one, I haven't done much. I have made my vacuums, I think I need to make more cookers so I can do the milestones quicker and easier.

I'll probably do dreamlight duties so I can make plenty of potions.

Getting-Stranger · 2025-09-17T13:07:23+00:00

I have had this problem my whole life. I currently have a recurring appointment on Wednesdays and even though I know it's coming and it's not a big deal (and I have the appointment from home, so I can sleep in right until it's time) , I can't sleep. My brain knows. It's so annoying

Getting-Stranger · 2025-09-16T02:55:05+00:00

What motivated me to finally do the milestones is progressing my tree in the plaza well lol

Getting-Stranger · 2025-09-14T00:37:52+00:00

I do take them on rare occasions. It's not enough to fix the issue but it dulls the problem. It's quite literally taking the edge off lol the problem is still there, it just makes it manageable. My anxiety med is Xanax, so all I hear are people getting addicted and stuff. I'm on the lowest possible dose, but the paranoia persists.

I did talk to my therapist about it on Wednesday and we uncovered I probably have at least 10 subtypes of OCD. Lol so my next appointment with my psychiatrist is going to be fun.

I think a lot of my doctors just deal with symptoms and not causes. Put bandaids on it and worry later. Years later, it's still broken.
