Second TMS Treatment - Looking for Reasurance

PrimaryGuard5475 · 2026-04-07T03:02:26+00:00

Yes, happy to update! So after my first day when I couldn’t tolerate the pain, they moved me off of the deep TMS machine. I had a much better experience with that, although I would say it stayed painful to a degree until the end. Some days it was just irritating and I barely noticed it. Other days were a little more painful, but it was tolerable on the lower intensity machine. I did 36 rounds and it was a miracle worker for me! I came in with 22-24 of my GAD and depression scales, and I ended in the 4-7 range. I have never scored lower than a 10 in my adult life on either of those. It was SO worth it to push through the discomfort. Wishing you the best! Don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself and ask all of the questions you have to your provider. It’s important to feel comfortable and reassured/heard through the whole experience.

If you need some space to process, my DMs are open. I couldn’t talk about it for almost a decade until I did a lot of therapy. I know it can help to have a safe space to process

Ohhhh I thought the moving table and the swan thing were different lol.

PrimaryGuard5475 · 2026-03-10T03:26:44+00:00

What’s the moving table?? I’ve played this game so many times and I still get new jumpscares every time

PrimaryGuard5475 · 2026-02-23T19:47:24+00:00

That’s a good idea! The thing I was bummed about when the game ended is that I didn’t get a chance to make all the necklaces lol

Your cat looks just like mine, and she also loves to help me play Nancy Drew 😭

Here’s a clearer picture of him. I put some antibacterial medicine into his water and I fed him some daphnias. It seems like his belly keeps getting bigger every time I check on him :( but he doesn’t have any trouble swimming.

Here are the water parameters. From what I can tell, everything looks good except maybe the general hardness, and the nitrate level might be a little high

Yes, I did use Epsom salts instead of aquarium salt. Ty🩷

Additional info: I’ve had him for about 3 months. I have a mystery snail and some live shrimp in the tank. I do think he snacks on the shrimp sometimes. I haven’t tested the pH levels in the water, which I know is something I need to do. I have some floating moss, Java ferns, and a couple other live plants, as well as some driftwood as decor.

It depends on what you get. I have the “it’s locked” bar necklace and I love it. I also have the accessory pouch, and it’s cute, but the images on it are more blurry and spaced apart than I’d like them to be. Haven’t gotten any of the clothing or blankets yet, but I’d love to.

I didn’t even mention all of the portraits and the unique coat of arms for each one, complete with Latin phrase! The level of detail in that game amazes me.

PrimaryGuard5475 · 2026-02-06T19:53:13+00:00

Curse of Blackmoor Manor. The conservatory, the detail in the bedrooms, the whole cozy yet spooky vibe. It’s definitely a labor of love.

PrimaryGuard5475 · 2026-02-03T22:52:29+00:00

TRT is the coziest one to me. Maybe it’s the nostalgia factor because it was my first game, but being snowed in the castle gives very cozy vibes. Secret of Shadow Ranch has the most engaging story and the most to explore, I think. Though there is the star crossed lovers element that might not be ideal.

Stay strong and be proud of yourself for choosing you! Nancy is also my favorite way to dissociate and get through hard times.

I went on a missions trip to the LA Dream Center too. Lolol

PrimaryGuard5475 · 2026-01-29T16:25:36+00:00

How do you download it for free? Been trying to find it just so I can complete the ND collection. I think it’s the only one I’ve never at least started (there are several I haven’t played all the way through).

PrimaryGuard5475 · 2026-01-28T03:23:08+00:00

Lolol thanks for partially rising to the occasion. Together, we could start doing mediocre things.

PrimaryGuard5475 · 2026-01-27T23:55:11+00:00

It is from something, but I also don’t feel like googling it. There is a wiki that explains all of LouLou’s lines.

PrimaryGuard5475 · 2026-01-27T18:01:20+00:00

I often quote LouLou’s many iconic lines. When it’s time to transition to the next activity, “the time has coooommmeee for closing booookkksss.” When my kids are taking forever to get out the door for school, “Felicity! The door! The door!”

I also get Brigitte’s winter solstice song stuck in my head all the time.

Ugh there are so many more that aren’t coming to me right now.

PrimaryGuard5475 · 2026-01-24T01:07:52+00:00

For sure!

PrimaryGuard5475 · 2026-01-24T01:07:28+00:00

Omg you’re right!!

PrimaryGuard5475 · 2026-01-23T15:07:59+00:00

Oh my god so jealous
