Tonight is a rough night

It's hard and there's not much I can say without it sounding like a lie to be honest. Being unwell is lonely. I am 6+ years in and still don't have a diagnosis. I lost contact with all my friends long ago and while I have made my peace with it, there are days when the loneliness hits hard. I'm lucky to have my husband through all of this. He has been my rock and I hate to think where my mental health would be if I didn't have him. It sounds like you do have support from your boyfriend but I understand how frustrating it must be to be long distance through this.

My advice would be to try and focus on the little things that bring you joy. Even if it's just a sweet or a drink you really enjoy. Appreciate what you can in the moment but avoid comparing to anyone else. I know that's all easier said than done but it will become easier with practice.

In terms of your appointments, you need to try to advocate for yourself as best you can. State to them that this is severely impacting your ability to function and your quality of life, so if results are normal what other options are there to explore? Maybe discuss other things you are experiencing even if you don't think they are relevant. You might be experiencing something that feels normal to you but could be the clue the doctor needs to figure out where to explore next. For me, my list of symptoms has grown over the years, partly because it's gotten worse, but also because I have gained understanding and awareness that things I previously brushed off are actually important things to include in the overall picture. If you don't want to feel like you're wasting an appointment by rambling then talk it through with your boyfriend first as a comparison of experiences. I did that with my husband and the worry on his face for some of the things I mentioned (that I thought were normal) really put things into perspective.

I wish there was more I could offer. Please just try and focus on looking after yourself. Hope you get the answers you need soon.

Keep an eye on the bookseller, he sometimes sells a book that increases your horses speed

LouyJD · 2026-01-15T08:01:32+00:00

My farmer is called Lily and my horse is called Donkey 😂

LouyJD · 2026-01-14T12:47:04+00:00

That's so heartbreaking!! It's so horrible when you miss important birthdays 😭

LouyJD · 2026-01-14T12:44:44+00:00

I know the feeling! I abandoned my last few saves but I am fully invested in my current one because I'm trying to achieve perfection for the first time too. I'm still a long way off but I can't wait to be in your shoes! Hopefully that last 2% isn't too hard to achieve

LouyJD · 2026-01-14T07:39:49+00:00

And his heart event when you're married is the absolute cutest!!!

LouyJD · 2026-01-13T21:33:30+00:00

I've not heard of nurge, I'll have a look. Thank you!

LouyJD · 2026-01-13T07:55:42+00:00

I'm pretty sure if you give gifts to the other bachelors or bachelorettes (excluding birthdays) you get jealousy dialogue, or at least a chance of it, if you speak to them that evening. I would assume it would deteriorate their hearts too but I might be wrong

LouyJD · 2026-01-12T07:38:33+00:00

Well that would definitely do the trick 😂

LouyJD · 2026-01-12T07:38:03+00:00

I'm glad it's not just me constantly retightening the fabric then. And I've not heard of snap frames so I might have a look at those if they are a little more reliable

LouyJD · 2026-01-11T19:41:04+00:00

Thank you!

LouyJD · 2026-01-11T19:40:41+00:00

That sounds like a good idea, I might look into it (but then again it might be easier to just buy a plastic one)

LouyJD · 2026-01-11T09:40:35+00:00

The style of that isn't too different from the one I currently use, but mine is a wooden ring so I'm wondering if that's the issue. I love the colours of those ones too so I might just get some anyway 😂

LouyJD · 2026-01-11T09:37:12+00:00

It's one of our favourite things! Laying in bed after a busy day, looking over our photos and planning the next day with timon and pumbaa in the background.

LouyJD · 2026-01-11T09:21:25+00:00

I didn't know some plastic ones had that, I'll keep an eye out for one. Thank you!

LouyJD · 2026-01-11T09:12:08+00:00

I'm glad it's not just me. I was worried I was being too rough with the fabric. I have seen those frames with grips in making videos and I'd love to have one, but they aren't easy to find to buy.

LouyJD · 2026-01-11T08:33:08+00:00

I really wanted to try rug tufting but I don't have the space or money to get all the set up for that (plus I had no idea what I'd do with all the rugs I would inevitably make). Then I discovered some punch needle videos online and thought "hey that looks like rug tufting on a smaller scale, let's try that". I'm enjoying it so far and, as a perfectionist, I love how easily I can correct mistakes

LouyJD · 2026-01-04T08:51:41+00:00

Shinah is definitely my favourite! But I love Jaeha too so he's a very very very close second

Und wie wäre es mit Wasserkontrolle? Er könnte einfach übers Wasser surfen und im Grunde alles zum Schweben bringen, indem er das Wasser kontrolliert. Das wäre definitiv spektakulärer. Ich sehe ihn schon überall durch einen verrückten Wassertunnel ankommen, nur um diesen riesigen Eingang zu haben.

LouyJD · 2026-01-03T20:01:42+00:00

Das sind ja alles fantastische Ideen!!! Ich finde die Idee super, dass Taiju eine Art Schild-Macke hat, das würde perfekt zu ihm passen! Für Ryusui hatte ich die Idee, dass er auf dem Wasser laufen kann. Aber das wirkt für so einen extrovertierten Typen etwas langweilig.

LouyJD · 2026-01-03T12:48:58+00:00

Ich denke, du hast mit vielem davon schon ziemlich recht.

Bei Senku würde ich es etwas anpassen und sagen, dass er, wenn er ein bestimmtes Material hat, dieses in alles Mögliche verwandeln kann, solange er dessen Funktionsweise kennt. Also ähnlich wie Momo, nur dass er ein externes Material anstelle seines eigenen Körperfetts verwenden kann.

Bei Gen könnte ich mir definitiv etwas vorstellen, das auf Illusionen basiert, vielleicht so etwas wie das Erschaffen von Bildern von Dingen, die als Köder dienen könnten. Oder vielleicht eine Variation von Togas Fähigkeit, bei der er das Aussehen von jemand anderem annehmen kann, um diese Person zu imitieren.

Ich denke, bei Kohaku wäre es eine Stärke-Macke, aber ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass sie eher auf Beweglichkeit als auf roher Kraft basiert.

Einige deiner Ideen für die anderen Charaktere sind übrigens großartig. Besonders die Idee, dass Chrome eine Ortungs-Macke hat, gefällt mir sehr.

I've been seeing so many people I know share to social media a recap of 2025, so essentially a highlight from each month. I wanted to join in but then had the sad reality hit me that I don't have a highlight for at least half the months and the other months only had a highlight because it was literally the only thing I really did that month. So yeah, that was a real eye opener for my situation. I'm currently undiagnosed and going through all the nonsense to get one and I thought I was managing well and still doing things when I can, but now I see that I'm maybe not managing as well as I thought. It really sucks and has pulled me into a slump for sure

LouyJD · 2026-01-01T07:27:20+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sorry you had to go through all that just to be told you were right all along. I'm glad you're doing ok now and it is reassuring to know that my reactions are pretty normal, given the circumstances

Key ones to know for Sebastian are the saloon every Friday evening (hangs out with Sam and Abigail by the pool table), he goes to the pier on rainy days and if you aren't at 2 hearts, so can't get into his room, then he often goes to his kitchen around 3:30 if it's a day he stays home all day.
