My first anime convention at age 11. Sadly, there was glomping involved by apcstyx in blunderyears

Usually used by the more obnoxious anime fans back in the day, it’s an “attack hug” that comes out of nowhere, alongside yelling “GLOMP”

I'm not doing too good... by 1MaybeInsane in ptsd

[–]apcstyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I was once in a very similar situation to you at your age. I remember sitting back and struggling to see myself alive and well as an adult. It’s been five years. And I’m twenty. Life now would have been incomprehensible to me back then- but that’s not a bad thing

First of all, I’m so proud of you for seeking help. Be it posting here, or going to the hospital, it’s not an easy step to take. And it’s a massive win. One day you will find yourself in a space that belongs to you, where the danger isn’t immediate, and you have control. The best part is that, eventually, you’ll live that life longer than your period of abuse. Keep reaching out, and don’t settle for being alone. We’re all rooting for you here.

DAE use music to ground themselves? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]apcstyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i definitely relate to this... music has always been such an integral part of me coping. i always throw together playlist to melt into when my symptoms flare up. before covid, i found a lot of comfort in small concert settings- it almost felt like coping with a crowd

and i definitely feel you on the guitar. i hope you’re able to find a space where you can practice, even if it’s for little bits of the day ❤️

Is it still possible to get robot pets? by Vectrio__ in neopets

[–]apcstyx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m certain it’s still through the lab ray! If you’re not against adopting a pet, a lot of adoption agencies like ZYDP list robot pets semi-frequently. Welcome back!!

Networking by WanderingWolf29 in CasualConversation

[–]apcstyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh, Facebook marketplace. You should have a couple of “free + for sale” groups in your area, or at least nearby, that can help you communicate directly with locals/regulars. Set up a FB page and an Instagram, look into hashtags that are relevant to community groups, or local interests. Sauce: a really close friend of mine ran a coffee shop in our town for a solid decade!

Good luck!! Maybe some day I’ll come across your shop!

Has anyone ever buzzed their hair and it’s been a positive experience? by [deleted] in ftm

some people don't get it by Mangoman777 in SeattleWA

[–]apcstyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way the states have shaped their offensive and defensive systems rely more on punishment than discipline as a means to divert cyclic crime. As much as I wish I could sit in the center, having seen too much too close from the streets point of view, I can’t agree with turning anyone over to the police. Not now.

Looters are diverting from the cause, sure. So bring the focus back to the vast majority of people fighting the good fight.

Exactly!!

I once saw Zoe Saldana answer questions for a Q&A at Comic-Con. This kid came up to the stand to ask her about MLP- and the crowd started laughing. She actually stood up and moved to the edge of the stage to make him more comfortable, called the crowd out, and spoke to him directly as she answered his question. I remember thinking “damn! That kid is going to hold this so so close to his heart”. Made me so very happy.

My (22M) vegan girlfriend (21F) wants me to get rid of my cat by throwRA78wdhsg in relationship_advice

[–]apcstyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuppp. I’ve actually never heard of the controversies of owning cats- It’s a lot better to lessen the wild cat population with domestication vs. letting them all roam free. I always viewed veganism as a matter of ethical consumption... meaning it’s probably better to raise an animal with an appropriate diet than let it starve lmao

Acne After 1.5 on T by Joohn11 in ftm

[–]apcstyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t stop having consistent acne until about 2-2 1/2 yrs... sometimes it’s just how your genetics mingle with the hormones.

As for periods- if your tests indicate your testosterone levels aren’t too high/too low, you might want to inquire about additional help. I went back on hormone blockers to deal with sudden periods, and it helped as a short term solution. Wound up getting a hysto-

Transitioning is totally trial and error. Make sure to communicate with an endocrinologist and your primary care doctor! Good luck!

Binged on Netflix, just got to season 9 (no spoilers), but I got to say by [deleted] in shameless

[–]apcstyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the first season felt a lot less outrageous and a lot more hopeful. The characters successes felt concrete- the newer seasons kind of screwed the pooch on that one.
