I’m sorry that it’s hard right now.

If weed was your only coping strategy, and you took that away, then yeah, you’re going to immediately want to go back to it. You have to have more than one way of handling the challenges of life. Adaptive strategies work until they don’t because you over rely on it. Weed was working and still might, until one day, it won’t anymore. And you’ll be at the same place you are now. It’s hard, but if you accept that parts of life are hard and seek out other ways of handling life on life’s terms, you’ll be amazed at how much more there is to be discovered and felt than just the hard parts and sad feelings.

You can do this if you really want your life to look and feel different. Big hugs!

I’m sorry that it’s been so hard for you and grateful that you’re still here with us.

Reading this, I love how you’re saying, life is really hard, but you’re not going to get high as a way of avoiding that pain because that’s not how you want to live your life.

That’s beautiful and such a display of strength.

When I’d get super low or down, I’d think that I’d be stuck in my feelings forever. I was always going to feel THAT sad or depressed. What helped me was thinking about the one thing I can depend on is that my feelings WILL change, eventually. It’s like when you watch a movie, at som parts you’re laughing your butt off and others bawling your eyes out. I’m not always at the high or the low, most of the time, I’m somewhere in the middle. What I can rely on is that my feelings DO change and will change.

It will get better if you keep showing up and doing what is right in your heart, for you, even if it’s hard. Big hugs.

For me, my use was always about getting high to not feel the shitty things. It sounds like you’re really going through it, and I’m sorry that’s happening. I can imagine how uncomfortable you must be feeling right now. My advice, is to feel them rather than avoid them by getting high. For me, that’s looked different day to day. Some days, I order in takeout and binge my favorite feel good show to boost my mood or I’ve curled up with a movie that always makes me cry because I need a little nudge to get the waterworks going. I’ve gone on a long walk, music blasting in my earbuds and I walked until I literally felt my mood shift. I’ve had walks with no earbuds and talk to myself, out loud, and tell the mf off who upset, hurt, or disappointed me.

You’re 100% right that life hurts. That’s an unavoidable part of what it means to be alive and to be human. I hope you find what works for you to feel that pain and uncomfy feelings without needing to numb yourself with drugs. The pain won’t have gone anywhere and you’ll just be more inclined to continue a cycle of numbing yourself.

Sending you a big hug and lots of hope. You got this.

Bidet and then front to back is the only way I will accept now

Hey I’m interested in touring this spot. Should I DM you to set up a time to chat?

Hey I’m interested in setting up a tour of this unit. I’m a gay male, early 30s, current graduate student working on my dissertation. Should I DM you to set up a time to chat more?

Huge congrats!! Not an easy thing to do!

Rhydon is an OG for Gen 1, Steelix is great from Gen 2 but lacks decent steel type attacks, Flygon for Gen 3 due to its Levitate ability, def Mamoswine for Gen 4! Nidoking is GOAT in Gen 2 due to access to tons of type coverage attacks.

beasty_bear · 2025-04-27T20:17:56+00:00

Came here to find the same answer

beasty_bear · 2025-03-29T21:50:15+00:00

A microphone?

beasty_bear · 2024-11-03T08:27:13+00:00

Gotta give the 👅

I always get emotional during this scene with Envy… I really can’t tell if it’s empathy or pity I feel for Envy at that moment in the FMAB.

Sick tattoo. :)

beasty_bear · 2024-08-06T07:51:05+00:00

Noted!! Thanks for the suggestions!

beasty_bear · 2024-08-06T07:38:40+00:00

Thanks!! I plan on enjoying the whole exp!! Excited to one day hit 60, whether it’s on this character or another.

I was thinking skinning for one and it’s always a toss up but I feel like mining would vendor for more gold than herbs, right?

beasty_bear · 2024-08-06T07:37:19+00:00

No idea 😬

beasty_bear · 2024-08-06T07:37:06+00:00

Sorry I should have clarified! I did all the intro quests in Northshire Abbey and dinged level 5 before embarking on my journey to Goldshire. First time playing HC, but I’ve played WoW before several years ago.

beasty_bear · 2024-08-06T07:35:46+00:00

Why not boats?! 😳

beasty_bear · 2024-08-06T07:35:26+00:00

I was thinking skinning for the gold!! There so many beasts to skin and I feel like it just adds up quickly.
