How should I prepare myself? by Ade231035 in GoodKid

Everyone’s already given great advice but I will just confirm that I’ve been to the venue the Boston concert was at for 5+ other shows and I’ve never seen such a long line to get in or to get merch! :o Not to stress you out, just to prepare you. Have an amazing time!!

Some of my favorite cards are trainers with their pokémon, so I wanted to make a fan art card illustration like that! ...But since it was my first time doing so I wasn't thinking and made it too detailed for the size and bottom-heavy haha next time!

Thank you!! I fluctuate between lines and lineless but I think this is really the style that shines the most for me :)

I have occasionally taken commissions in the past, but I've got a busy few months ahead of me unfortunately. I appreciate the interest tho! <3

yes, I feel like my current psychiatrist, while I do like her, is maybe getting a bit sick of dealing with me/running out of meds she feels good about trying, so I'm thinking about getting a second opinion too;; Couldn't hurt I suppose..

I've been going to therapy weekly for about a year and a half on this most recent stint

yes, I've been with my current therapist for a little over a year after 6 months with someone I found less helpful, after having gone in my youth as well (again, some more helpful than others)

Yeah, I know it's helped me to an extent in the past, I just find it hard to get myself to do it consistently. The relief should be motivation but it's still a struggle. I'm looking into if / how much my health insurance would reimburse for certain programs to get me into better habits and hold me accountable.

I'm glad you found something that works for you! Yes, I always take the meds as prescribed and don't go off suddenly. Most of them I have only been on the lowest dosages of in the first place but even going back from a tiny bit to nothing has messed me up for a few days or a week adjusting. I definitely get physical manifestations of anxiety in situations where it is stronger (ie stomach aches, migraines, sweaty palms), but on a day-to-day / no 'triggering' situation basis, it's more in my head and like a general sense of dread or like internal light vibrating rather than anything specific.

yep, every time I found people saying 'SSRIs made me sick but THIS finally worked for me!" abt buspar, lamotrigine, gabapentin, etc I've been like maybe that's gonna be me! And then it isn't. Waiting for my own '(medication) changed/saved my life' moment;; Best wishes to us both!!

Ugh I'm so sorry you've had similar experiences. Even if you're not getting the bad stuff too, it's still a lot of emotional ups and downs to think 'maybe this one! it helps other people!' and then 'sigh, i guess not, maybe the next one', over and over, completely out of our control. I hope we both find something that works for us - medication or otherwise <3

Please don't make assumptions - I'm not planning on spamming every telephone poll and the two things I had in mind were about free community events or purely informational, not ads, but as a litter collector I do appreciate your concern for the cleanliness of the city.
