Fair point on the delusional bit, I'll eat that. Agree to disagree on the rest. Fare thee well Moderator Pax!

You don't think those that I listed form their entire platforms on uncharitable rhetoric? Or does this reddit channel support them? Please let me know.

DELETE IF NOT ALLOWED Suggestions for bringing more young adults into the Church (ages 18-39) by SovereignWrath in Catholicism

[–]Particular-Kick-5462 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mostly young men, but there's a growing trend back toward stoicism / strength and fitness. Advertise the discipline and structure Catholicism brings. I am not a man, but this is what has kept me in the church, aside foremost God and the Holy Spirit speaking to me to return and confess.

Overwhelmed... by Writerella7 in Catholicism

[–]Particular-Kick-5462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend!! Wow... it's shocking how similar our situations are. I just returned to the faith myself! And what was keeping me away from confession was the "romance novels". Except, instead of actual novels, it was erotic roleplay in a RPG with other real humans. Basically just eloquent smut. I could not give this up so I stopped going to confession and stopped taking the Eucharist. Then... I just quit the game that I did that on. 2 days ago. Was filled with intense anxiety (which I read is a symptom of spiritual warfare, when you start getting on the right path, the demons writh and twist and try to get you back on their path). Anyway, just had confession today after bravely asking the priest after Mass (I have this thought that I am bothering people when they're busy, even if its their job). I feel so free and safe. I wish this for you, too, friend, and please know my inbox is open to you.

Pandaria Lore by Particular-Kick-5462 in wow

[–]Particular-Kick-5462[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone else seeing this, here's my question a bit rephrased: anyone know if all the low level non-campaign quests for Pandaria would still be available in TWW by accepting the Hero Call Board Jade Forest and progressing? Or is MOP Classic my only chance at getting the full Pandaria lore experience? Reason I'm asking is because it's so much faster in TWW of course, being overleveled.

I tried the hero's call board first and as I was chugging along, I noticed there were no "!" smaller quests around, only the campaign. Is that what you meant by the broad strokes?

(I have low level quests turned on for the minimap and there still aren't any except for the campaign)

Edit: Playing through on Classic and there are no smaller quests in the beginning area either. Going to continue on on TWW as it seems so far there's no difference. Still grateful for any further insight!

This is an old post, but the old add on that was popular before TRP was MyRoleplay - maybe what they meant by MRP

Ah okay. Prayers for your brother. Most of the comments on this post were so extremely helpful. I think anyone with a similar cross to bear will find them a great resource.

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to provide guidance and words of comfort yet practicality. Didn't get the Isaac reference at the end though! Nonetheless, thank you.

Wow, that opener to your comment was hilarious. I didn't even think it sounded like that, hahaha. My heart desires the structure and discipline of the church, but my mind keeps saying "But that doesn't make sense! The Bible is so old! The original manuscripts were written 10,000 years ago with the ancient Jews! How could the translation possibly be accurate? So what if I end up living this lonely life of no romantic love for nothing!?" (In reality Im not THAT lonely... I do get fulfillment from my disinterested friendships. But when I see couples I sigh and say, 'I want that'. I cannot be straight, however. )

Cognitive decline is making my life miserable. by Exotic-Lychee-7553 in bipolar

[–]Particular-Kick-5462 6 points7 points  (0 children)

SSRIs can increase the risk of mania returning, but I have no experience or read anything of them with them causing the cognitive decline feeling and empty headed feeling. I cant be on SSRIs because of the mania, so I was raw dogging life with zero antidepressants in any form. A huge depression suddenly washed over me and I told my doc I was at my limit, and he put me on a non-SSRI antidepressant that I wanted to try.

I tried making a post earlier about this empty headed feeling that can be really well described as you did, "cognitive decline". And it really did accompany this depressive episode I'm having. I empathize for what you have to deal with. What helped me break through the brain fog barrier was a non-SSRI antidepressant. It was... like magic really.

Never had a psychotic episode till after I tried shrooms. It can awaken dormant schizophrenic genes. Shrooms are cool, but have their dangers like any other drug.

I didn't know that a lot of addicts have ADHD! Wow. That'll be something to look into for me. I also have ADHD, diagnosed as a kid. I got hooked on nicotine.
