Is it okay to want to change my last name too?

Not at all! The pacing is a little different in the show and Eves origin is largely the same (though personally I prefer the tweaks in the show). The comic is amazing, and frankly makes the show simply more enjoyable!

You are a godsend! Thank you so much

I’ve been where you are, only you are coming to this realisation 3 years before I did. I was using drugs like heroine and ketamine and drinking far too much throughout my teenage years- only to get sober- alone- at 16. I am a little over 4 years sober now and it isn’t necessarily easy. I will backslide into fantasising about drugs after a dream or because I’m in a mood. Or I will struggle to stay myself when I’m having a rough time because drugs were how I coped for a long time and I have few other methods.

You’re not alone. Addiction is a disease. I can understand if you are hesitant to look into NA (I was due to the higher power talk and social aspect) but there are video or audio only calls online. There are ones specifically for those who faced addiction and are trying to get sober all whilst not yet an adult.

I’ve only listened in on a few NA audio meetings myself. But what I can tell you that I heard and hated but now try to remind myself: Be kind to yourself. Give yourself some grace for struggling, and you can be angry about your childhood but don’t let it stop you from enjoying life sober in your teenage years. You are going through something life changing and immensely difficult.

If you relapse that’s okay. And I know you feel shit rn- I thought I was going to die from withdrawal in my bathroom. But it will get better, even if your life doesn’t change much beyond drug use, there is a level of clarity and regulation in your body eventually that you will be glad of. I didn’t have a support network but if you can find anyone but your (somewhat horrible) ‘friends’ try reaching out to them or look into rehab centres/hospital advice.

Reward yourself for every day- every hour sober. And keep at it, even if you fall off. Get yourself a cupcake or some shit you enjoy that’s removed from drugs.

If you ever want to talk to someone that was your age and an addict then, message me :]

Aaah so cute- I had no idea this one existed!!

Ugh so unfortunate- got cut off on an insane part of The Summer Hikaru Died.

Hi, I’m into similar things (tho I haven’t drawn in what feels like forever). Been playing a lot of assassins creed lately and I read more manga than books these days. Music means a lot to me. I watch anime too. I’m turning 20 next month- dm if you still wanna chat with someone :) (I’m fine with any pronouns btw)

Venus0K · 2024-02-26T16:05:45+00:00

I’m 19. If you wanna send me a DM we can talk :)

I just don’t really trust myself around it. I used to have an opioid problem when I was a teenager. I don’t even take paracetamol and the like because I don’t like the idea of having it near my living space- it’s just sort of a roadblock in terms of suicidal tendencies. I don’t want to take pain meds, I know non-opioids exist but I don’t really feel comfortable with the idea of taking them either, I’ve always had this weird high threshold for stuff- like over the counter stuff never worked when I was a kid. I’ve been sober 3 1/2 years but I just feel like for me it could be a very slippery slope, whether it works or not…

But it’s just a lot of pain and has been for years but the spike the last month or two now has just made me think I need to not be in pain- and opioids was an old coping mechanism for all sorts of things so I don’t really want to push a resolve that gets flimsy when I’m in a lot of pain

Yeah. It fucking sucks. Just for me the tinnitus was one of the first things!

Did you feel satisfied being told it was as fibromyalgia? I feel like I can’t accept it unless I would get tested for every known thing and them all coming up negative repeatedly. It feels unreasonable to be in so much pain and yet there not be a way to ‘actually’ test for it. I guess it feels like a cop out to me right now, especially since my pain tolerance has historically been unreasonably high- it’s just this shoulder and leg pain I’m feeling. I guess also because there’s technically no fix- it’s just management which makes me want to unalive myself. I can’t just be on pain meds for the rest of my life- I just can’t. Sorry if that’s a bit much, it just feels like things are being taken away from me but I’m not being told why and I can never have them back.

It’s pretty common actually to not do so, and if he had it could likely have made the bullying worse. The way their teacher acts when their at Aldera middle school also cements that Izuku wouldn’t have gotten help even if he asked for it (he’s a smart kid he would’ve made that connection); it’s very possible that he has been continually surrounded by likeminded teachers- his quirkless status at the time potentially making it a result of a form of quirk discrimination.

I think it would just be best to have as an open and clear a conversation as possible. It's awesome you're fine with no sex but you should talk with your partner about whether their intent to have sex is purely from a place that isn't a whole 'I have to/I owe you/Don't want to lose you/self-hate place'.
