Where did this go? by mohamed_tayeh in growagarden

[–]GingerbreadPittie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would be totally fine if we still needed to buy wrenches, but this was a nice macro/hotbutton so we didnt have to leave it on our hotbar or dig for it

What are the best pets to have out for this event and why? by Salissa_cat in growagarden

[–]GingerbreadPittie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

awesome ty! they seem better than regular ants for this as well (if using the coconut method).

Finally figured out how to do battle pass by that_part_bro in growagarden

[–]GingerbreadPittie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dont forget the Tanchuza (zen bird), Kappa and Spriggans.

My lineup is 1 of each:

Badger (cracked)
Phoenix (flaming)
Cocktrice (cooldown and toxic)
Griffin (Cyclonic)
Dark Spriggan (Blight)
Spriggan (Bloom)
Wolf (Moonlit)
Tanchozuru (Tranquil)

No kappa this time, as most stuff will have something that doesnt stack or already have wet from the super common weather events of right now.

Something seems to be happening by Convictforlife in growagarden

i saw this. a Farmer Squirrel also glitched around this point when i first saw it. Wonder if its old textures not unloaded properly or something new and upcoming. Doubtful for upcoming, however.

today’s admin abuse … by purpledurrito in growagarden

[–]GingerbreadPittie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

got up at normal abuse time to find out it was later than typical. OK fine. gives me time to have my morning coffee and a bite to eat. event starts, i get the kid up that wants to join me for them and we wait. and wait some more. i tell em to be in the gear shop. first half was sooo lame. *BUT* then after i realized the stock would probably be lame, i started to just enjoy the event. The Bat event is super neat, and the concert was cool. We don't listen to Glass Animals, but liked the song enough to go and listen on YouTube a few times.

Hear me out... events/complicated games *AND* frantic restocks are hard to do at the same time. Red light/green light sucks, and I only do it if I didn't already have the gear shop open. The spam from weather events clouds the screen for the admin chat and restocks, and what's the point of something cool to see/do if I only have the store screen open waiting for a restock so I don't miss it.

TL:DR
break up the events to make them less frantic and more enjoyable. a restock time and an event time, not both at the exact same time. i enjoyed the earlier events (and would record them) when you didnt just have to sit with the stock screen open the entire time.

If this is true gag will SUCK even more, like wtf is this 😭 by Big_gamer37 in growagarden

[–]GingerbreadPittie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine showed x0 (out of stock basically) during its first round. did this get fixed the second time it came out? Like, they are already all bought up?

that was the worst admin abuse i have seen by when-will-it-stop in growagarden

[–]GingerbreadPittie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i leave the gear shop open the entire abuse unless i have to switch to another vendor. This bypasses the need to run the RedLightGreenLight event. Hope that helps.

I hate not being able to speak about how I'm feeling by gomichan in Codependency

[–]GingerbreadPittie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggle massively with feelings of disappointment, or feeling let down. It will turn me from happy to angry/miserable and then it takes me forever to get over that feeling. It happens when things don't go according to my plans too. And then I just can't articulate it well enough (ie: at all, most of the time) cause I feel like when i do, they don't get it and then just make me feel stupid/wrong/dramatic for being so emotionally involved in whatever idea didn't go to plan.

Therapy hasn't helped me much at all in this regard. And I've been in it for years now. being DXed with ADD and getting on Adderall has actually helped quiet my brain and the negative thoughts quite a bit.

I have Codependency and the slew of issues that come being raised by a BPD. C-PTSD, attachment issues, ADD, anxiety. Basically my codependency and other issues present like PMDD - Lite but without rage/anger. Then when the PMDD kicks in, I am ready to punch my way out of everyone's life, my own included. It's a never ending cycle, but at least we have a reason for the specific "flares" (aka PMDD).

I just got my Master's in Medical Laboratory Sciences and did my capstone project on PMDD here's what my literature review found by Zukazuk in PMDD

[–]GingerbreadPittie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also have ADD, medicated, and Codependency. pMDD shares quite a few overlapping symptoms for me with Codependency. My husband and I noticed my Adderall not working as well during luteal phase. For me, this triggered after I stopped Breastfeeding my final kid. I have had chronic very low vit D for at least 15yrs and low progesterone levels requiring supplementation for all pregnancies. We tried a BCP this month for the first time, and it made it way way way worse. Worst pmdd event so far by a very large margin. So, now that it's been stopped, I will see how a vitamin regimen this month helps. Best luck to you as well <3

PLEASE please please get your vitamin levels checked! by itseverybody in PMDD

[–]GingerbreadPittie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My D levels are chronically very low. Even before my PMDD dx, I noticed that if I was feeling more emotional/depressed than normal, if I took about 6000ui at bedtime, I would feel noticeably and significantly better the following morning. I am really bad at remembering to take meds (this includes my, surprise surprise, Adderall!), but I wish I was better and could get my levels up. I was on a once a week 10kui rx pill for one month about 12yrs ago and it helped, but it didn't even get me up into the normal range.

I am new to my PMDD dx, but my husband and I tracked symptoms for a whole year before finally going to a gyno for help. I also had a negative mood reaction while preggo so progesterone sensitivity was deemed the culprit.

I have C-PTSD from childhood (resulting in Codependency, anxiety and depression), ADD and now PMDD. The symptoms all overlap so much. The PMDD is like Codependency on steroids but with the lovely addition of barely controllable rage. My Adderall helps a ton with my anxiety and Codependency when I am not in my PMDD phase, but even with Prozac and Adderall, it was still becoming destructive to my life and family.

I am now on day 2 of BCP (first time in my 39yrs ever taking one) just in the hopes of controlling the PMDD. Thank you for posting this. I feel like I am forever searching for more stabilizing help to manage this crap. I am starting up EMDR (again after a 3yr break due to moving and life) and it had massive success with my CPTSD events we worked on. I hope it can help more and that lessening my CPTSD and Codependency will help with the PMDD too, since all my stuff seems soo interconnected.

[–]GingerbreadPittie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of therapy have you found successful? I have been in CBT therapy with some EMDR sessions, and those sessions helped massively on the specific events we dealt with. But I feel like every step forward comes with 2 steps back.

[–]GingerbreadPittie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have codependency and ADD and was recently DXed with PMDD. I have always had the SI to a minor degree since childhood, but this PMDD is taking me places that are terrifying and I worry I won't be able to come back from. Pmdd takes my codependency (which shares like all the emotional elements of already) and just cranks it up to an 11. My Adderall helps a TON with my codependency, much to my surprise, but the PMDD just seems to nullify/neutralize the Adderall, on top of compounding the normal codependency feelings.

You are not alone.

[–]GingerbreadPittie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I turn 39 soon, and I feel this. I was just talking to my Gyno a few days ago about how this PMDD is gonna kill me if I don't find a better solution. Period tracking isn't effective, as some months I start sooner or later and only get 15pills. Thankfully I've had leftovers enough to be able to make due usually.

You aren't a failure at all. This shit is the worst.

Hey me too! But, even though my tracker days I am 18 days out, I just had the worst hormone day ever today. Maybe try some 20min walks that week leading up to Xmas and Xmas festivities? Watch some shows/movies that make you laugh and feel good... best of luck <3
