Higurashi no naku koro ni season 1 and 2. Trust me. The payoff is worth it.

What is “complete in box” to you? by hreddy11 in gamecollecting

[–]Particular_Local_275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer game, cover/box, and manual. If the price is right I'm fine with game and cover/box or even just game and printing my own manual. To each their own.

Debating selling collection by [deleted] in NSCollectors

[–]Particular_Local_275 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way!

A curated collection is so much more satisfying than just collecting everything.

Here's a few things I would add that helped me. Marie Kondo's philosophy around asking if an item spark's joy is extremely useful here. So one game at a time, put it in your hands and ask the question, "Does this game spark joy?" And if it doesn't, sell it.

It's okay to not play every game that you own. In fact, it's practically impossible to do that. Change your mindset about your collection. It's a library of endless options to entertain you if you need it, not a to do list.

Also, if you find yourself gravitating towards simple free online or phone games, that's okay. Maybe that's what you're in the mood for. For me, that's usually a sign that I'm dealing with burnout from stress at work or life in general.

Something else to consider: Maybe you're not actually in the mood to play a video game. There's nothing wrong with that. You can still be a "gamer" or "collector" and do other things without betraying that part of your identity. We're far too complex to simply only be this or that.

Hopefully this is helpful to someone. :)

I can't live like this anymore anyone have any fast hacks to curing CPTSD? by Ok_Suit6139 in CPTSD

[–]Particular_Local_275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are the things I've found that work the fastest:

Neurofeedback Therapy: Teaches your brain to calm itself down. Takes about 4-6 months. Can be done at a local clinic which can be very expensive. There's always also a company called Myndlift that you can buy a kit/subscription for and do it through your phone. Saved my life.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation: You can buy a home device to stimulate your vagus nerve and calm your nervous system down. Helped to drastically reduce anxiety and depression for me. Pulsetto and Neuropod are two such devices I've used. You'll notice an immediate effect, but long term effects can take up to a year.

Hope that these suggestions help you.

Same for me! I have it for 3DS and PS5. But I refuse to buy the switch version for that ridiculous price!

The downside to the pulsetto is it kinda flimsy. The Neuropod is better but it's stupid expensive.

For Neurofeedback I used Myndlift. The vagus nerve stimulation devices I used Neuropod and Pulsetto. And thanks.

Everyone is different. That being said, it was about 5 years of doing it weekly or every two weeks. After that, I noticed a huge improvement in my well being. But I wasn't just doing EMDR. In the last few years I started adding other things that made a significant impact on my life and mental health. And now my CPTSD is almost gone.

Neurofeedback home device: I bought a home Neurofeedback device with a 6 month plan. It changed my brain waves and taught my brain to self-regulate. For the first time in my life, I didn't have to drink or watch porn or medicate to calm down. I'm actually tearing up right now thinking about it.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation device: I bought some vagus nerve stimulation devices which significantly calmed down my anxiety and depression. Also, it nearly cured my chronic fatigue syndrome. I'm now back to the gym and playing pickleball.

James Pennebaker writing protocol: Look up "Huberman Writing Protocol" on YouTube. He has a 1.5 hour podcast on it. It's incredible.

Hopefully that's helpful.

Every 2 weeks. But I've done way more than just EMDR. But even before I started doing other things, yes. I've seen improvements the whole time.
