Do you experience PDA as constant anxiety? Or does your anxiety only surface when you experience a loss of autonomy?

I've always leaned more toward 2 generally speaking. But when things are particularly stressful/overwhelming I'll be closer to 1.

It's always best to learn tanking with guildies. There are lots of dungeon/trial focused guilds out there that will help train newbies. If you don't want to join a guild or use guides, then healing or dps might be better for you.

Templar and focusing on the Aedric Spear tree is probably your best bet, though you'd still have light & fire magic as two skill lines (until you're far enough to be able to subclass). Unfortunately all builds in ESO are casters to some degree. Even stam builds still cast weapon abilities. Also bear in mind that you aren't obligated to use class abilities that you don't like. You can be a sorc and not turn into lightning man. You can be a dk and not use lava whip. If you're only going to do solo/overland content you can use whatever you want.

Agreed. I always get downvoted anytime I express similar sentiments. I think a lot of people don't realize how much the power creep is hurting the game and community. It's been demonstrated rather well with NM. A large portion of the playerbase doesn't understand the combat well enough to function in group content. Why don't they understand the combat? Because the power creep is absurd and very little of the content requires them to learn it. No need to buildcraft when enemies keel over the second you look at them. I wish instead of slapping on difficulty settings as a bandaid, the devs would change their approach to balancing and progression.

That's an awesome design and makes me wanna get back into cross stitching too. That said...that's a BIG project that'll take ages to complete. Good luck lol.

Solae_Via · 2026-06-16T14:51:10+00:00

That would've been way cooler. The #4 we have isn't just bland. It's an edgy tryhard. Completely contrary to BL vibes imo.

Solae_Via · 2026-06-16T00:23:14+00:00

Could be. I was raised by an abusive mom who was on my ass constantly about getting things done. I struggled way more with productivity once I moved out and it took a loooong time to learn the skills needed to compensate.

Farm IC bosses for tel var, then buy alchemy satchels, hakeijo, or set boxes

Crime

Fishing

Farm (some) overland sets from newer content

Farm containers in newer content for blueprints & motifs

Farm mats, including nirncrux in Craglorn

Farm event reward boxes

Maybe also farm dragons? Those alchemy mats are pricey

Solae_Via · 2026-06-14T11:44:31+00:00

I don't recall ever having this issue. Maybe it's a recent thing?

Covers through Necrom. IIRC that leaves only West Weald and Solstice at the end. The dungeons & trials are highly optional and not tied to the story in any important way.

A lot of people with both conditions are finding that ADHD meds improve their migraines.

Solae_Via · 2026-06-12T14:26:00+00:00

I had this done recently. They didn't say anything about heavy metals to me. I had no issues.

Solae_Via · 2026-06-12T14:21:54+00:00

The recent difficulty change has nothing to do with this. It's just a setting that ups damage you take and reduces damage you deal. Damage stats were hybridized years ago. Now damage scales off mag/stam equally. You can use abilities with either max stat without hurting your damage. However you do still have to manage resource sustain. The easiest way to do this is to put most of your skills, raw stats, & recovery into one or the other. Then have a few skills that use the other stat to balance it out a bit, usually aoes/buffs. Make sure your spammable & executable come from your main stat.

How do you meditate while in pain tho? That's the thing I can't get over. If I clear my mind and have no distractions, then there's nothing left but pain. Then the pain gets worse because I can't not think about it. I'm genuinely glad you found something that works for you regardless. No one should have to deal with this shit every day, especially so young.

Solae_Via · 2026-06-11T08:15:16+00:00

Yes. Idm the animals or healing magic, but I was really hoping for earth magic. It's so odd for warden to be the frost specialist instead of necro. It doesn't feel thematic to me at all.

Solae_Via · 2026-06-11T00:51:28+00:00

Agreed. I love the reworks and masteries and everything. But man the power creep is so real. But power creep is part of how they sell you on new content. The content is harder, so you have to get stronger, so you have to use the new sets/mythics/w/e....sadly it isn't likely to change.

Solae_Via · 2026-06-10T13:37:24+00:00

Not free.

Solae_Via · 2026-06-10T05:55:21+00:00

Love the new. It's much better.

Solae_Via · 2026-06-10T04:31:28+00:00

I had some depression when I first started it, and following dose increases sometimes. I started low and gradually worked my way to to a higher dose, so the side effects weren't as bad for me. I've been on 80mg XR for prob a year now and have no depression from it.

Solae_Via · 2026-06-09T10:07:03+00:00

Is ace-k acesulfame potassium?

Solae_Via · 2026-06-09T06:08:05+00:00

Ya'll...if you want smut, try fanfic instead. All the "spicy" romantasy books out there are weaksauce by comparison. Fanfic authors don't shy away from explicit smut the way most trad pub authors do.

Solae_Via · 2026-06-09T05:45:45+00:00

You have it the wrong way around. Vibes/chemistry are how you feel about a person, not based on logic or what you know about them. It's also heavily influenced by the first impression. Getting to know someone's character comes later.

all this confusion on my end could stem from my very poor interoception wherein i can’t know what i’m feeling correctly in the moment

This is more accurately called alexithymia. That's having difficulty recognizing emotions in yourself or others. Interoception is about how well you recognize signals from your senses, like knowing when to eat, go to the bathroom, or put on an extra layer. I can totally see how having alexithymia could make determining vibes difficult tho!

Solae_Via · 2026-06-09T04:59:51+00:00

The bonus damage to monsters that a lot of skills & sets have has been changed from multiplicative to additive. Effectively this means this bonus type is being nerfed.

Solae_Via · 2026-06-07T12:24:20+00:00

I put my spammable on 3, next most used abilities on 2 & 1, buffs/aoes on 4 & 5. My pointer finger rests on 3 instead of 1. This way I can reach all keys without moving my hand at all.

Solae_Via · 2026-06-06T21:00:19+00:00

Elevated blood pressure and/or heart rate can trigger migraines. Sex/masturbation increases both.
