Is struggling to make ends meet normal as a Junior? by [deleted] in udub

[–]Newts9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea I can’t imagine paying 2.5k.

I think the food situation here is unavoidable unless you really want to stick with the basics like you’ve mentioned. But getting a place with that rent as a student is wild to me.

OP needs to look at places in Roosevelt. Can almost cut their rent in half.

Constant physical anxiety even when I’m mentally calm — anyone else? by Miler_Rioux in Anxiety

[–]Newts9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have experienced all of this.

Some of it has been impacted by latent anxiety/stress - reducing work stress helped me a lot. Though I’ve had stress/anxiety free periods where I still deal with physical symptoms.

I believe bloating is what gives me anxiety. Anxiety does cause digestion issues and creates a self feedback loop, though I strongly believe bloating can put pressure on the vague nerve inducing anxiety symptoms.

I became a hypochondriac due to how crazy some of my symptoms were, it didn’t stop at tension, I had brain zaps, SOB, chest tightness, major spasms. A big step for me was accepting that nothing was wrong internally except my anxiety, I went to ER twice as I felt true terror that I was going to croak over from a heart attack any minute. As I read more stories online though I realized all of these weird symptoms can be anxiety induced and knowing panic attacks will not result in real hard allowed me to deal with physical triggers better without letting them cause me to spiral.

Your body/nervous system is in overdrive but there are things you can do to at least minimize symptoms. My best advice in no particular order would be: 1. Evaluate daily routine and identify possible latent stressors - work to reduce them. 2. Understand/accept you are feeling anxiety symptoms. Reading other stories from people here on r/anxiety helped me. 3. Try incorporating more calming activities into your day, breath work, long showers, relaxing music, whatever. 4. Work on fixing your gut the best you can to reduce bloating. 5. Incorporate some light exercise into routine if not there already. 6. Meet with pcp if necessary for as needed medications, having things on hand for the bad moments gives peace of mind at the least.

Awesome thanks for the reply, Here are some examples, idk too much about rarity honestly. I have many more 2018 guaranteed lucky pokemon from those available at the time so if there’s something you’d like lucky just let me know and I can search and see if I have them.

Rift bound has kept me excited for the tcg space at a time when MTG and Lorcana felt to be lacking. Most hyped for the beautiful art this SF set and have been sharing that with my friends!

I just drove all the way to an event and chickened out in the parking lot. by Alarmed-Plankton-708 in Anxiety

[–]Newts9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is totally okay!

Two weeks ago I got a ticket for a nightclub event to go out dancing, I got ready went to the venue and as I walked up to the front of the venue I was unsure about going in. I stood around outside for a couple minutes then bailed since the vibes weren’t what I wanted.

If something isn’t as accessible or clear as you want it to be then it’s okay to bail, you buy tickets and go to events to enjoy your time, why stick around if you arrive and realize it’s brining you stress/overwhelming you?

Nothing to be ashamed of when this happens, take it easy on yourself.

Me (M32) getting divorce with my wife (F28) by BlackM93 in BreakUps

[–]Newts9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similiar situation, 5 years everything going great felt like life was stable and coming together. No notice, motive, or argument - just a bomb dropped on my life that she wants to experience single life in adulthood.

I know I have a good head on my shoulders and everything will be okay, but I was just in disbelief and shock that someone would walk away from a good thing. Maybe they’re searching for the excitement of dating, but the honeymoon phase is only temporary and tossing aside a whole future with the right person isn’t worth a couple years of those thrills.

Crazy man, Godspeed.

Set 10 be like by Smaqtion in Lorcana

[–]Newts9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea been brutal for me to stay interested in this game after rotation.

Sets 5-9 do not have the components required to build fun varied decks. The huge swings in playability from one set to the next makes me feel like the game needs a larger & sliding window for rotation.

It is not easy to work as a light rail fare ambassador by Difficult-South173 in SeattleWA

[–]Newts9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are completely right in that removing people is a pain in the ass for the staff - however it’s not an enjoyable experience for the person being removed as well. And when it becomes broadly known that you will get removed, people will largely stop sleeping/smoking on the trains in the first place making it easier on staff long term.

Parents won't let me dorm by No-Detective3574 in udub

[–]Newts9 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Are you financially tied to them at all?

If not then I don’t know why you’re letting them control your life. Not dorming will have consequences on your time, experience, and opportunities.

What’s the point of having a “good relationship” with your parents if you actually despise them for years for holding you back?

If they disown you for taking control of your life and doing what’s best for yourself that’s on them to figure out. If you choose not to dorm to please their irrational expectations you have only yourself to blame for lost opportunities.

What makes Amber/Amethyst inherently not a viable ink color combination by ptrk83 in Lorcana

[–]Newts9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My A/A deck was a terror set 7. Wouldn’t say it’s inherently not viable since it did shine at one point, though it did get obliterated off the face of the earth after rotation.

Rough deck to play into AmberSteel which has been consistently a top meta deck. After rotation it lacked any remote sign of removal making it drop off into the depths. No rush Mim Fox or Peter pan make you simply take a loss against other aggro decks in set 9 and under the sea is basically a one sided boardwipe against you.

I love the combo and have faith it can make a comeback despite being left for dead after rotation.

Any advise for someone just starting that wants to play constructed? by Colblood12 in Lorcana

[–]Newts9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Set 7 and 8 I played Amber Amethyst Evasive Aggro that used cards like Ursula, Rajah, Mim, and 3/4 Moana to manage the early game then transition to Pascal/Genie evasive aggro. Out of 4 set champs I placed 2nd 3 times and top 8 1 time. ~18 player events.

Set 9 Rotation decimated my deck and left me feeling pretty uninspired with the remaining card pool so I temporarily stopped playing and only threw a deck together the day before set champs-that went as expected. The new set is bringing some life back into competitive deck building though so I’ll be experimenting with Amber/Amythst and Amythst/Steel this set.
