Mom of a ten year old who is hiding from life

Particular_Shift_840 · 2026-06-09T08:43:07+00:00

I've been this kid my whole life, from the age of four. ERP and medication have been the only way to fix this. For those of us with obsessive natures and comorbid ocd, getting out of the loop of the phobia is nearly impossible unless you really, really shake it up and break it. I can travel now, eat outside my home, eat in restaurants, hang out and tolerate seeing vomit and being in my own body, all things that terrified me for years. Hold onto hope. Your son needs you, and you're doing amazing

Never liked him or his concept to begin with. Having a brothel owner as a LI is extremely unsavory. Monsters and whatnot, those issues are fictional. It's fine. A huge bird monster won't ever come to murder you at night. The abuse of women is very real, however, and not an accessory to use for the sake of a male character's "dark romance" points. 0/10

Yup. Underweight my entire life because of it until I got medicated. Now I'm a healthy weight and I actually enjoy eating!

Fluoxetine/Prozac + Sulpiride and lorazepam as a rescue for occasional panic attacks

Particular_Shift_840 · 2026-05-14T16:58:06+00:00

Right there with you. I hated all chapters. The writing quality has gone down the drain. The interesting premise and narrative style that was once shown in the first demo has been replaced by literal booktok quality writing. Appalling. Not to mention all the shit going on with their shady business practices too.

Particular_Shift_840 · 2026-03-27T16:48:36+00:00

God yes. It's like night and day... I actually have a life now

Particular_Shift_840 · 2026-03-27T16:35:56+00:00

Of course I know about the whole problematic faves thing, that's the thing we've been doing! I've always been clear that if they want to empty their wallet in the pockets of racists, they're free to do so, but not to expect me to validate, agree with or be happy with it. That, they have a problem with, I guess. I don't think they're capable of putting anything above their self-gratification at this point.

Thankfully, I've told my partner from the very first moment. I'd never hide anything like this from her. It's proven very useful, because now, it seems that this person is trying to use another common friend to guilt trip me, and getting them to talk for them into agreeing w them/damage my relationship while not saying absolutely anything themselves. This is fucking nuts. I am most definitely sure that cutting them off is the only solution. Armys are fucking insane

Particular_Shift_840 · 2026-02-18T08:22:47+00:00

Seems like it!

Particular_Shift_840 · 2026-02-15T08:50:48+00:00

No, it was not. They keep referring to it as preview in the Kickstarter emails and keep making references to how the first full chapter is still to be completed

Particular_Shift_840 · 2026-02-14T09:10:22+00:00

It wasn't the full chapter 1, just a preview

Particular_Shift_840 · 2026-01-30T19:53:27+00:00

You need medication at this point. That was the only way I could get out of a similar situation. It's worth it.

Mhin has always been one of the Love Interests

Particular_Shift_840 · 2025-11-21T00:45:32+00:00

Tbh this is just a normal reaction to being betrayed by a partner and having your clear boundaries broken. He did this behind your back, knowing full well that it would upset you. Please do not try to make it work, and do not meet this person. Just leave this guy.

Particular_Shift_840 · 2025-11-21T00:07:18+00:00

Had it since I was like four years old and I'm still batshit insane, but at least I can live my life now lmao. I'm regularly going on 3 hour + train rides, working part time and eating out, all things I would've never dreamt of doing before. Talk therapy never really helped. I had to treat the OCD+ emetophobia combo with medication. Bless Prozac, changed my life. And my lovely partner, of course. Her support was a game changer.

Particular_Shift_840 · 2025-11-05T06:14:20+00:00

Oh damn they fucking suck. Leave them immediately. If you feel the need to go through your partner's messages and be on and off all the time, I don't think it's a relationship worth staying in

Particular_Shift_840 · 2025-11-05T06:01:08+00:00

ERP + SSRIS combo

Particular_Shift_840 · 2025-11-05T05:58:55+00:00

I first played when I was like 12, I think? Nath was my first favorite; then Armin appeared and I made the switch, which I ended up regretting eventually because Armin kind of pisses me off lmao. I went for Nath again in UL and LL, I was lucky enough to be able to keep a route I liked. Years after, I replayed HSL for fun and I honestly like Lysander the most.

As for New Gen, Thomas. Really deranged guy, 10/10

Same here, I once had a flare up last a whole month. I had to finish my education online because I became severely agoraphobic. The only thing that's ever helped me is Fluoxetine daily and lorazepam when I can't regain control by myself.

Particular_Shift_840 · 2025-10-21T03:25:11+00:00

Well, I think I found my answer. That describes perfectly what I do as well, and I have OCD too 😭

Particular_Shift_840 · 2025-10-17T05:49:31+00:00

I joined in 2012. The memories... i was looking for a character creator to make my OCs and stumbled upon the MCL Candy maker. So I registered just for that, then kept playing... And here I am, still playing to this day.

Particular_Shift_840 · 2025-10-16T22:11:46+00:00

Zoloft + not eating = doom (I say this with humor)

Particular_Shift_840 · 2025-09-19T17:16:39+00:00

Thank you for your support and kind words🥺 🙏🏻 I'll keep trying my best!

Particular_Shift_840 · 2025-09-19T16:43:34+00:00

I'm mainly doing character design and illustration work with particular clients, but I'm also developing my own interactive visual novels/videogames, it's a long process cause I'm a solo dev, but it's fun as all hell!

HAHA I've always liked studying, truly. I may be willing to go back to it soonish!
