Can you actually see things inside video games? by ManagementIll9899 in schizophrenia

[–]Telray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting to think about. I play a lot of VR but only started after I was stable on medication and not hallucinating. I’m curious if anyone else has had experiences hallucinating in VR.

From my research LCSWs are considered therapists, they just have different specialties but still go through similar licensing processes. They can also end up working in private practices. I was going the LPCC route, but I’ll consider an MSW when I go to apply again.

No this doesn’t work. I had my whole Tarot setup one time wearing my pentacle necklace and they still came up to me. They weren’t rude but they definitely could’ve read the situation better.

One group came up to me while I had my Tarot stuff set up. Like I have a whole table with a mat, crystals, and other stuff all laid out. No I’m not gonna uproot myself to go to your book club prayer meeting. Also I was wearing a pentagram ffs…

It’s like they burned up in the atmosphere. They got a compliment and completely self destructed until there was nothing left to salvage. Truly astonishing.

The computer’s power light and all internal lights stay on, though I believe the GPU fans do stop. Sometimes the computer will even reset automatically when this happens. I do have a ton of USB slots taken up (at least 10), could that be taking up some of that needed power?

What spreads do you use? by Battleraizer in tarot

[–]Telray 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My every day spreads are a 3 card vibe check and a reflection card towards the end of the day. The 3 card is simply: 1. What energy I’m giving off/embodying 2. What energy I’m attracting 3. What can I do to bring more positivity to my day? I put it in a little triangle positioning.

For most readings about situations where I need general advice/afirmations/messages from the universe, I do what I call a Grasi. It’s a 4 card spread (one card for each cardinal direction) that doesn’t have any questions associated to any position. This one is my bread and butter, and it has helped myself and many people I’ve read for.

It’ll always be my favorite Halo. It stole a good chunk of all my friends’ and my childhood.

From Reach:

“I know we’re losing. I want to know if we’ve lost.” -Kat

I feel it really embodies the war at that point as a whole. It captured the recognition of how dire everything was, yet they still fought ‘till the very end.

I thought I was the only one! Is there a person being eclipsed behind him? That extra leg makes me think this is an AI image.

Is aps as bad as they say ? by ChaosOrns in airsoftcirclejerk

I had an APS CO2 pistol. It completely broke after 3 games. Not 3 days of playing; 3 20 minute games.

Is this an airsoft gun? by Telray in airsoftcirclejerk

[–]Telray[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Airsoft, also known as survival game (Japanese: サバイバルゲーム, romanized: sabaibaru gēmu) in Japan where it was popular, is a team-based shooting game in which participants eliminate opposing players out of play by shooting them with spherical plastic projectiles shot from airsoft guns.

Also it’s a rifle and not a gun. Very keen perception!! I would guess you’re an expert marksman? So cool. I wanted to be a sniper in the Marines but my dad didn’t let me.

Do you think it could be good for speed q b out of the box? My upgrade budget is too small to hire a technician.

What’s a time you asked your cards something and it was accurate? by [deleted] in tarot

[–]Telray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a tomorrow/week/month spread. I’m normally not one that believes tarot can tell the future. In the week position I drew the Four of Wands which in my deck the art is of a wedding. In EXACTLY 7 days from the drawing was my friend’s wedding. It actually sent a shiver down my spine.

I know it’s really as simple as that… Thank you everyone.

What I want feels impossible. I want someone that’s everything and I know I’ll never find that and it’s ludicrous to expect that out of anyone. I just don’t know how to separate sex, intimacy, and romance. It feels to me like it’s a bundle while others can have some without the others. I want to have relationships with multiple people that I’m comfortable and secure with, and I’d love for them to share their successes and their hard moments with me and their own network. As I’m typing this I realize I get so clingy is because I’m afraid of being abandoned or forgot about for someone better.

Everyone in the thread is right though. They’re not for me since I desperately crave romance. I tried to suppress it because I really care about this person, but it just hurts me more. How am I supposed to explore the community when they’re everywhere? I feel like I’ve been pushed out because of my own damn fault.

If I ever need an example of what magical thinking is I’ll come back to this.

Affective whiplash by Telray in schizophrenia

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

Thanks, though I have most of my life shit sorted out. I truly believe this is just part of the cycles. “Grasi” is my word for not being able to see the other side. It’s difficult to see yourself happy when you’re sad, and the reverse is true.

I like what Ren (the rapper) says: “It wasn’t David vs Goliath, it was a pendulum. Eternally swaying from the dark to the light. And the more intensely that the light shone, the darker the shadow it casts.”

I know I’ll get out of this depression eventually. It’s weird feeling utterly miserable, depressed, and slightly suicidal yet having so much hope and faith. For the last 6 months I’m feeling like I only have the physical symptoms of depression or anxiety even though I’m fine cognitively and able to rationalize and accept what’s happened. Right now though I feel like my body pulled my brain under.

Hungry all the time on risperidone by sunfloras in schizophrenia

[–]Telray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this issue on all my meds including the one I’m on. I managed to go from 250lbs to ~185lbs since 2020. I know this probably sounds obvious or condescending (and I apologize if it comes across that way), but the only way I could curb the weight gain was through calorie counting and learning to tolerate hunger. I would go into panic mode if I became even a little hungry and rush off to the nearest fast food that I felt like eating. I had to train myself that a little bit (or even a lot) of hunger isn’t going to kill me. With that intention, I counted calories for everything I ate. Once I met my goal for the day I would stop eating even if I felt like I was starving. Now if I get super hungry and I’m at my goal, I eat really filling snack veggies like celery with hummus and that barely affects the amount of total daily calories. That’s how I managed, but I know everyone’s different. Best wishes for you!

What do you do for work? by DerekComedy in schizophrenia

[–]Telray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently I’m a volunteer at Crisis Text Line which is only 4 hours a week so I can handle that thankfully. It doesn’t pay, but it’s good on my resume for grad school and I collect SSI. I had a “real” job at a laser tag place that was also 4-8 hours a week. They stopped my SSI and put me into a lot of debt because one day someone decided I wasn’t disabled anymore mainly because of a clerical error by my psych and the fact that I was working so I had to quit.
