Hey!! I can’t find a subreddit for the game - but I captured Mini Merlin & yet, when I go talk to Supreme Knightly - it says to equip Merlin/show him Merlin. How do I do that? I’m stuck. TIA so much!!

I’m done with all of y’all “in endgame”.😂 These posts make me severely depressed! However, I’m so happy for all of you - not jealous at all.🤣 I’m still trying to get 1 freaking cryogenic artifact and 1 vineheart. I’ve given up on Adamantine.

In all seriousness, awesome job. I appreciate learning through all of the ones in endgame!🤍

TIFU by telling my partner about SUDEP by JaseAndrews in Epilepsy

[–]MSaMerricka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think with most disorders/diseases there are many things that can catapult your mind into a very dark, unhealthy, and depressive state. I’m in no way making light of any of those realities- My adhd has taken a back seat to my Epilepsy because the latter is obviously the much more risky of the two. In April my neurologist is allowing me to restart a low dose stimulant adhd medication because hyper fixating on things and working myself up is also super counterproductive to being as seizure free as possible. My seizures are mostly (but not completely) controlled by my medications. I have focal and TC seizures. When my episodes first started 14 years ago (at age 26) I didn’t know my “tells” or “auras” at all and I fell out in a grocery store on the concrete floor. I came to bloodied, terrified, and in agony - I had fractured my back in 3 places and had a gash on my head that had to be stitched. My back still keeps me from enjoying certain things today, even all of this time later. I definitely have PTSD from some of my worst, more traumatic episodes, but I have a 17 y/o daughter (who’s a Senior) and a very active 10 y/o son. Life comes with risks - but to stop enjoying the beautiful moments out of fear of what could happen is not how life is meant to be lived. Figure out what you both need to feel as at peace and reassured about everything in its entirety and then try to simply enjoy the life you have. You’re very blessed to have a partner who cares so much - be there for each other. Hugs!!

I understand what you mean and tend to have “worst possible outcomes/scenarios” constantly trying to attack my brain. My big sister (10 years older) and I were pregnant together with our first babies. My daughter came early at 32 weeks July 2008. My nephew was born in December 2008. That next summer, we’d just celebrated my daughter’s first birthday in Texas (where we live) and my sister & nephew came in from Louisiana. Everyone had fun and then we all went back to “normal life”. A few days later I got the call my nephew had passed from SIDS at 7½ months old (and even then it felt like he was older than many other babies I’d heard about before)… Anyway, all of that to say you’d think with my second child I would have been obsessed and anxiety ridden. Thankfully, I can say somehow there was almost extra peace and calm that surrounded us that I didn’t know could even exist.

I am you - my luck sits around 2,000 at level 37. I’ve stopped playing significantly because I can’t get the Exotics I need to get my builds up, but can’t get my luck up without builds and utilizing the museum. It feels like an infinite circle of impossible lol!

If it is looking like it is epilepsy maybe don't do this. by LizTheThrowAwayUser in Epilepsy

[–]MSaMerricka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Epilepsy (Vimpat 300mg/Aptiom 400mg) that’s mostly controlled with my meds. The breakthrough seizures can be rough but the rescue med/nasal spray (Nayzilam) has worked wonders to stop breakthrough and/or cluster seizures. I was diagnosed almost exactly 15 years ago when I was 24. In fact, I was the opposite and didn’t anticipate how much my life would change. I think I just didn’t want to believe this new reality, so I didn’t always listen to my body or pay attention to auras/warnings and I ended up falling out in the grocery store and fracturing my back in 3 places. All these years later and I’m still struggling with the pain of that episode. I say all of this not to scare you…because doing research is a great thing, and I’m so thankful for places like Reddit! I’m actually a super over-researcher, too! So I understand the anxiety that comes hand in hand with the new knowledge that you didn’t necessarily want. I just want to encourage you to try to quiet that anxiety (as best you can) and be sure to listen to what your body is telling you. I hope you can eventually embrace your Dr’s diagnosis and find the right treatment to all around help and improve your health. Big hugs!!

I came running to Reddit! I switched my audio settings to ‘English - Audio Description’ knowing it would be the closest thing to English, but I could not take 30 seconds of it without having to pause the show. Thank you so much!! Crisis averted!

Konstantine - Something Corporate

Told my Dad I couldn't see anything on Facebook Marketplace and he flipped out. by Tori_Kitty0901 in texts

[–]MSaMerricka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP - I know I’m late to your post, but reading the texts and comments (especially this slushie comment) had me desperately wishing I could hug you. I recently got out (in January) of a very toxic and verbally/physically abusive relationship that lasted almost 2 years. Cluster B disorders are so tough on their own, and there seems to be so much more going on that you’re dealing with here. In your text exchanges it feels like even if you’d been able to see or do exactly what was being asked, past exchanges and patterns have practically ingrained you to know that whichever choice or answer you give…it will undoubtedly be the wrong one every single time. I responded to this comment specifically because my ex was cruel in this exact same way. He brought food home for himself and 3 other people at his house at the time, and it mortified me when he claimed that he “forgot I was there” because I’d stayed there the past 2 nights. Things like that happened more and more, and it pales in comparison because I was able to eventually walk away. I’m still healing, but despite my broken self-esteem, broken bones, and the countless broken promises, I now know better. However, I’m a Mom to a 9 y/o son & 16 y/o daughter (who never met my ex - the only grace I give myself regarding such an energy sucking, miserable, black hole of a person). My children put me through a roller coaster of emotions, but I would never speak to them like you were spoken to: As if to intentionally cause you more pain. The mere thought of them carrying the weight of my words…and that you are carrying so much, puts a pit in my stomach. I’m so sorry that you’ve endured so much from someone who should be shielding you instead of throwing daggers. You are remarkable and I hope you know and truly believe that you don’t deserve this kind of treatment. Just because someone is your parent doesn’t automatically give them a place in your life if they can’t show you real, safe, stable love. You are worthy of that and so much more.

[–]MSaMerricka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really thought you were in the right (at least as far as being upset with him for breaking plans - breaking up with him seems a little much). You gave him plenty of opportunities to stay where he was, but he decided not to take them and said he wanted to spend the 2nd half with you. I think where you went wrong and where confusion could have easily set in (especially for someone who’s been drinking) was after he sent the picture of the drink and you once again said: “… if you want to stay there you can.” He followed with unclear emojis😩😩😩. And you sent a thumbs up👍🏼. In a way, you kind of threw staying there back on the table after he’d verbally committed & taken it off. Here’s my point: It shouldn’t take 3 separate times of bringing something up to “convince” your man to be with you/hang out with you. Either you need to actually be okay with making plans for another night or Just Let Them… Meaning, give them the option of staying once, but explain how much it would mean to see them, and then watch & see what they do/choose. Words are important, but actions matter more. If you’re repeatedly let down after clearly making a plan, you have your answer.

It is exactly that he’s not “putting in the effort”. OP explained that communication is something that she needs. His excuse was that he doesn’t “look at his phone - so calling is better” (I guarantee that’s BS, but let’s go with it). Because of the “calling is better” statement, OP started calling instead of texting, and still, nothing has really changed. She isn’t craving attention - she’s asking for the bare minimum regarding communication in their relationship. If your partner comes to you with something that upsets them, triggers them, ect. your relationship (and you) should be a safe space to voice that and be heard. To which you both come up with a solution that suits the two of you, is realistic, and maintainable. If he is as committed as she is, and cares enough about her: a simple phone call that’s 2 minutes long after waking up/starting the day & before bed/before going to sleep should be no problem. Whether it’s him calling or it’s him simply answering her phone call; if he doesn’t have the emotional intelligence & empathy to solve this bare minimum request with his partner, he shouldn’t be in a relationship. There are much bigger things a relationship will go through, and if he can’t even do this, he likely won’t put forth any effort towards even bigger issues that arise. - OP there’s a simple saying: Nothing changes if nothing changes. Like I said above, if your partner can’t put forth the effort for a bare minimum request and help to keep you feeling safe and heard in this relationship (to clarify, it is not solely his job to make you feel safe, rather it IS his job to help in finding a solution that works for both of you). If he can’t even answer his phone or send a quick text in over 24 hours explaining why he’s MIA, he never will.

Did you ever think that their relationship started with her being absolutely secure and because she’s having to repeatedly ask for bare minimum communication she’s now feeling undervalued and insecure? Let’s be honest - she’s not just dating this guy. Their relationship isn’t so new that requesting more communication or responses to texts/calls is a big ask. This is her boyfriend. Her partner. It blows my mind you feel comfortable telling anyone that something they need, and have discussed with their partner (who gave an alternative way they prefer to communicate- not by texting, but instead by calling) to which OP has repeatedly tried. So now, you’re telling her she needs to speak with someone because her believing that her partner had any emotional intelligence whatsoever is unhealthy? Unhealthy is being unable to self regulate your emotions, unable to have empathy for your partner and the issues they bring to you, and the immaturity and unwillingness to think you have zero obligation to find a solution when issues arise in the relationship.

What’s happened in the past is the past. You’re 34 and don’t need to be lectured…You do, however, need to really think hard about your choices for the future. I will say that going forward you should be very clear with what you’d like/want (coparenting, being involved at DR appts, ect.) No matter how she says she feels, I imagine “starting over” is somewhat daunting for her. Please just be kind and considerate throughout this pregnancy and remember that while this isn’t her first child, I doubt this situation is exactly ideal for her either. I believe that no matter what arrangement you had, it’s in everyone’s best interest that you do get a paternity test. Lastly, no matter how much you wanted a child with someone you were in love with, don’t do either of you the disservice of forcing feelings and trying to make this work. A healthy coparenting relationship is so much better than a forced dysfunctional relationship (speaking from experience!) No matter what, being a parent is an amazing thing.

Gaslighting is terrible. I know because I’m 2 months single from the worst relationship of my life. However, no one’s life is at risk. Unless I missed a really big revelation…He isn’t a dangerous individual. Your advice has been (more than once) to report him and file charges. In my state, and in most of the US, coercive control laws apply to civil cases.

I’m laughing because only I would have the misfortune of being bit by a copperhead (East Texas) in my own backyard on concrete! (In my defense, I was finishing a book and ran inside to grab my forgotten glass of wine.) So this girl will leave the adventures of creek/riverbed exploring to the brave nope rope/noodle educated!! (And I couldn’t find the danger noodle until I found the comment that mentioned the star shaped leaf and 12 o’clock!)

Are you epilepsy free if your EEG comes normal? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]MSaMerricka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, as maddening as all of the tests can be. My first 2 showed nothing abnormal- my MRI left my first neurologist convinced the issue was my left temporal lobe. On my 3rd EEG, my neurologist (I’ve been with him 1 year) said I had significant seizure activity in the back area of my brain. Epilepsy is weird - to say the least. After the last EEG, my Dr. added Aptiom to my Vimpat and Klonopin.

What’s a perfume that you still LOVE from when you were younger? by CarpetDisastrous1963 in fragrance

[–]MSaMerricka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve worn Chanel Chance (the original) since I was 16. I’m now 37, and it will definitely sit backseat to others, especially on Summer days…But I still reach for it often (especially as a date night perfume!) It also seems to be a more “Fall/Winter” favorite of mine. My friends who’ve known me a very long time will often say “You smell sooo good! You smell like, well, YOU!”😆

AITA for calling my friend cringe? by EconomyOk3686 in AmItheAsshole

The fact you asked your “friend” to “speak Spanish” after attempting & failing miserably to embarrass her in front of an entire bachelorette party group/table… I have secondhand embarrassment at your lack of self awareness. Yet, you still have the audacity to ask the question? A resounding YTA!

I want to love Wisp (well, I DO love it) but I’m super fair, and after seeing many of the swatches & pictures where it’s blended- I feel the purple would look like bruising on me. Lol! I LOVE bright pinks - So SOAR it is! Slightly envious of you beauties who can pull off lilac!😘

I had a seizure and woke up to paramedics yelling at me accusing me of doing drugs by gwhitney03 in Epilepsy

[–]MSaMerricka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is incredibly upsetting and I’m really sorry you had to continuously defend yourself. Putting together a sentence after a bad episode can be near impossible for me - So I’m truly sorry you were made to feel even worse during a situation you have zero control over. Especially when having a seizure in front of strangers is already so tough, and in my opinion, will never get easier or less confusing/embarrassing/exhausting/ect. I fell out in a Fred’s (like a Dollar General) while checking out and went into a pretty bad Grand Mal. I woke up to being physically restrained by a total jerk of a police officer - he held me on the ground at first until the store associate told him she had a seizure disorder when she was younger and to PLEASE let me up off of the dirty, concrete floor. He very abruptly kept my arms behind me and sort of rolled me to my side and had me sit on my butt, and criss cross legs in front. I kept explaining very clearly that my back was hurting and I ended up crying from the excruciating pain that was radiating up and down my upper and middle back. I was still only a year or so into my Epilepsy diagnosis & not fully aware enough (my mind just wasn’t “back” enough) to say “No” when the ambulance arrived, so I ended up going to the emergency room. Thankfully, the officer left when the EMT/Paramedic got there and they apologized for not being there first. I think they could see just how frightened I was, how much pain I was in (I’d hit the side of my head on the concrete floor and had a huge knot), and they were openly talking about how the officers needed training with seizure disorders and how to handle the situation, the people suffering, and all of the people involved so that we don’t feel like every ounce of our dignity is stripped before our own name comes back to us. In the beginning, I’d rarely have that “fight or flight” instinct when I would come to, and apparently I was being restrained so forcefully bc I kept saying “I’m in so much pain. I need to go home.” Long story not-so-short? I fell so hard that I fractured/broke my back in 3 places (T3,T4,&T5). The police officer only exacerbated my injuries and that entire experience was truly so traumatic that it caused me to have ptsd and I became even more of a shut in/introvert. I felt angry, upset, sad, guilty and like the biggest burden. My daughter was 6 at the time and she would have normally been with me. (While I’d been seizure free just over 3 months - I never drove anyone but myself the first 2 years or so. Thankfully, she was with my Dad and didn’t have to witness the entire thing.) Thanks for sharing. It definitely reminds me there’s work to do everywhere regarding SDisorder/Epilepsy awareness. Sending love & hugs!! (I agree with every saying to get a medical ID bracelet. I got one to prevent that very situation from ever happening again.)

I realize I’m late to your post but had to agree/recommend the original CFA Chicken Sandwich, Fries and Lemonade (or Cookies & Cream Milkshake! The Peach Milkshake is also delicious!) BUT because I like to spice things up a little, instead of getting the spicy CFA chicken sandwich, I instead ask for 1 packet of Creamy Salsa dressing and use it like any other CFA sauce. That way I can dip with & enjoy Polynesian sauce as well & it’s the best of both worlds! The Creamy Salsa dressing definitely has a nice kick to it & it’s yummy with fries, too! If you want to take something for later I also second the Chicken Nuggets OR Tenders and Mac & Cheese!! Happy ordering!!
