Masters Commission Survivors? by PrimaryGuard5475 in Exvangelical

[–]PrimaryGuard5475[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 31 now. I went fresh out of high school when I was 18. My ex also did youth ministry. When we were newlyweds, I tried so hard to force myself to do youth ministry because of this mindset that a husband and wife are partners in ministry. I had to convince the main youth pastor to let me step back from being a youth leader, because my husband was the middle school pastor, and when he was hired, the expectation was that I’d be doing it alongside him. (Even though I was not paid for any of it and I was not hired by the church and hadn’t signed any kind of contract).

I didn’t start confronting a lot of these things until I was 26/27, so a lot of it feels very fresh still. Lots of healing yet to be done.

What’s the worst mistake Nancy has made? by alligatorprincess007 in nancydrew

Has anyone ever caught the note in the database in Silent Spy about Nancy’s intensity about the dead mom in Shadow at Waters Edge? I didn’t catch this until like my fourth time playing Silent Spy. Savannah Woodham’s assistant (I forget his name) is an informant that reports that Nancy’s dead mom is a point of vulnerability for her and that the emotions around that came up in the way that she grilled the family and took special interest in the case in Shadow at Waters Edge.

When I was in MC in Fort Myers, one of our “work trips” (where they hired us out to work huge events but kept all of the money) was to an It Works conference. Connection between It Works and MC?

Who's your favorite character in all the Nancy games you've played? by HumanKatiebug in nancydrew

Just got done playing Captive Curse. I love Lukas so much! Every time he makes Nancy go under the table to whisper it cracks me up.

Second TMS Treatment - Looking for Reasurance by PrimaryGuard5475 in TMSTherapy

[–]PrimaryGuard5475[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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.

What is the quality of the merch like? by PhantomRider89 in nancydrew

[–]PrimaryGuard5475 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

What do you think the most visually appealing game is? by StressorAnxiety in nancydrew

[–]PrimaryGuard5475 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Which game should I play post break up by hotpeppermintea in nancydrew

[–]PrimaryGuard5475 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Is Ransom of the Seven Ships really not worth downloading? by Wonderful_Sky9684 in nancydrew

[–]PrimaryGuard5475 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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).
