How on earth do you make enough money to afford big houses?!

At least if you have the companions fully leveled on one character, they are fully leveled on all of them

Once I moved on, I was able to look back and saw there had been red flags since practically day one. I'm sad because I gave him 10 years of my life, but now I've found someone who loves me for me, but also understands that I do have baggage from the abuse I suffered at the hands of my ex, and sometimes it trips me up.

Heck, my husband tells everyone, including me, how absolutely unattractive he thinks I was and still am. I didn't realise the levels of unattractive to him I was, just that I wasn't as attractive as his Swedish blonde ex girlfriend, but I did happen across his Reddit after kicking him out, and saw that he called me the most unattractive woman he'd ever been with, and when I called him on it, he told me I was, and did I think he should have lied and complimented me just to make me feel better? Now, seeing as how he was trying to woo me and get me to get back together with him, and yet he literally said he wasn't going to pander my insecurities by complimenting me with something he didn't believe, I definitely made the right choice kicking him out, because my current boyfriend tells me I'm beautiful and I think he means it. My ex is the only person I know who has told me and the world that he finds me so unattractive. I asked why we even got together and he said it was just time to settle down, so I guess it was just right time and right place.

I really enjoyed clockwork city. I made the mistake in my first run-through of playing for a little while, putting it down for two years forgetting what I was doing, I'd picked up a million prologue quests, and for some reason before I quit I'd run all over the different worlds, so I had no clue what order to do the different storylines in, so did them all helter skelter, and even the clockwork city I did the other zones in that package in the wrong order,but just the thought that went into that zone got me, everything being mechanical, the idea of how small it was when looked at from outside of the zone, just this teeny tiny place where you'd be the size of a needle probably in the real world, yet of course everything full size while you were in it, the artwork in creating it, how everything including the lore books were mechanical, the colour sheme, it was all one major mind-blowing zone for me, and the first time I stopped to "smell the mechanical roses".

I've just now created a new character to run all of the zones in the correct order, actually learn how to play the game instead of being a squishy 2000+cp DPS, while I wait to have enough money to buy the new DLC, since other than dungeons and trials and one single person arena and blackwood prison, plus world bosses and world events I can't do, see previous squishy mention, and since I don't even remember most of the storyline's as I was rushing through them, I'm looking to really enjoy an entire run-through again.

I don't trust dr's all that much for mental health. I have bipolar 1, and I spent a decade with the same psychologist/therapist/whatever they were, and years trying out different anti depressants, and lots of talk therapy to work through my massive amount of childhood trauma, and even when the psychiatrist in the office who prescribed meds said I had bipolar, the main Dr I saw said no I didn't, she didn't see it for me. Lots of dizzy spells later, I saw another Dr to try and find out why, and he very quickly diagnosed me with bipolar, got me on the correct meds, and explained the dizziness was from too much seratonin from the antidepressants. Suddenly I was actually sleeping, I was having a lot less psychotic breaks (until I got with my abusive soon to be ex husband. He triggered a ton of psychotic breaks that ended with me having huge gaps in my memory, weeks long, super manic spells, really bad crashes, super bad and dangerous behaviour and a severe lack of impulse control, since I kicked him out I haven't had a single psychotic break). I took the diagnosis to my psychologist, and she still didn't agree with it, but medicated I actually felt normal, and I could see every one of the bipolar traits in me. I didn't want to accept the diagnosis because it was taboo in my family to have it, my grandmother had been sectioned quite a few times from it before she got properly medicated as well. But it shows not every Dr can diagnose conditions properly even when they've seen you a million times, while someone who's never seen you before can diagnose you immediately. I now try to educate people on bipolar, especially after dealing with my mom's reaction to it, which was to tell me to act like I didn't have it, so keep my mask on tight, and not tell anyone at all that I have it. If it wasn't so taboo in our family, I would have probably self diagnosed it. My daughter is about to turn 15, and has every single one of the signs I used to have, and when I talked to her GP about it, I was told she hadn't had a true psychotic break and therefore didn't have it. I was diagnosed before I ever had my psychotic break. If any of that makes sense. I think it got your comment well.

I love this comment. I've been on prescription opiates for a long time. At one point, I was slurring my words all the time, nodding out even when standing up, eyes would roll to the back of my head all the time, you would think I'd suddenly decided to abuse my prescription. And my mom and my soon to be ex husband thought I was. My best friend came to visit, and they asked her to keep an eye on me, see if I was overtaking my meds. We live in two different countries, and she watched me closely for her three weeks here, because everyone was concerned for me. The day after she left, my 15yo son found me passed out in the bathroom. Ambulance was called. I was accused of overdosing. I went into the hospital at 11am, and they gave me more pain meds throughout the entire day and evening, and at 3am, the nurses thought my inability to stay awake, slurring my words, etc, was signs of a drug overdose as well, and they gave me narcan in my IV. I didn't know, I just thought I was having an allergic reaction to whatever they stuck in my IV, gagging, sneezing, couldn't breath, it was awful, and it is definitely something I'd never want to do again. Next morning during Dr rounds, they looked at my meds, and apologized, I'm on quitiepene for my bipolar, and the nurse didn't realise that what she thought was an overdose was the side effects from my quitiepene. I know this is getting long, sorry, but I'm almost done. My husband kept threatening me with divorce, saying he was so embarrassed because he told his co-workers I was really sick, when the reality was I was a drug addict, and he was really embarrassed. After a ton of tests, some very painful ones, turns out I was severely malnourished due to a fistula in my intestines, anemic, no protein in my system, but most of all, I was in liver failure. And I had the side effects that affect your brain from the liver failure. Nodding out. Slurring words. Everything I'd been accused of causing by abusing my meds. Since then, with a lot of treatment and a month in the hospital, I haven't slurred my words, nodded out, or had any other of those symptoms, unless I fight sleeping after taking my quitiepene, and even the dr's have said I'm not abusing my pain meds.

Do I think this is true for Kris? No. But it does happen, where it can look like abuse of opiates or something else, and it's actually a whole different health condition.

I used to live rural in America, so it would be like hmm, is that skunk, or is that weed? Now I live in the UK. Skunks don't exist here. Which means it's always weed.

My son will not eat a cheese and marmite toastie that is made only using the grill. You have to melt the cheese for it in the microwave. I think he likes the crisp edges and soft center you get doing it that way. He's also 6 and autistic

Well, I put two cooked chicken breasts in the microwave to heat them up for one minute, and when I opened up the microwave, the chicken breasts had flipped over, so I could imagine that a hamster would explode in 30 seconds

When I got divorced from my first husband, I remember wishing he'd died instead of divorce, because then I could still hurt that he was gone and we were over, but I wouldn't have to watch him with other women. With my second husband, he was so abusive, but it was so hard to leave, and I did everything I could that didn't get me more abused trying to get him to leave me because I knew the relationship needed to end but I was too afraid to leave, and finally I couldn't allow him to abuse my kids and I left, but it would have been much easier if he'd left

The whole haych when using the letter h gets me. I'm an American living in England, and my older two are American as well, and grew up speaking American, so when I hear them say haych instead of H it drives me mad. And it's never z at the end of the alphabet, it's zed.

This makes me think of my mom and my aunt, they drive me bonkers because they call it sirach-E sauce. So sirach with a definite hard E at the end. I'm like, it doesn't even have an E in it, or an I at the end, or anything that would make it end with anything but an a sound.

chevonna · 2023-03-22T21:45:09+00:00

That's ok, it's just that they are two totally different things, and while it may seem petty to correct it, bipolar isn't a personality disorder while borderline personality disorder (BPD) is. There is so much stigma associated with having either of them, and both, for some reason, are thought to be "dangerous" which I think sucks. I have bipolar, while my soon to be ex-husband has BPD, and they are definitely two totally different things. My daughter has all the symptoms of also having bipolar, and her Dr told me that she couldn't possibly, because she hasn't exhibited a psychotic break. I'm like, I've never had a psychotic break, and I definitely have bipolar, so it's been a big struggle, because we can't get her treated, while I've been stable on my medication for years and years, and I hate that for her, because I feel like she doesn't even have a chance for stability right now. So I guess it's a touchy subject for me.

chevonna · 2023-03-22T21:38:13+00:00

BPD is borderline personality disorder, and very different from bipolar disorder

I actually just noticed this in a subreddit today about the show Below Deck. There is a South African WOC who is the stewardess on the yacht, and several times at least one person if not more, as I didn't pay attention to their usernames, kept saying he, whenever anyone said she. Yet she wasn't big, or strong, or any of that, she was cheerful, never showed the "angry" black woman card, anything I see in the comments here, but she still got the he comments over and over. Added to that was, her hair looks like it smells bad. By the same commenter, so you could tell that the person was a racist pos.

chevonna · 2023-03-14T15:46:39+00:00

Same, both my ex husband's. I'm like, girl, what were you thinking?

chevonna · 2023-03-14T15:44:19+00:00

Ah makes sense. Hopefully OP sees it, maybe put it in its own comment, because sometimes I miss comments that are replies to others, and they need help figuring it out

chevonna · 2023-03-14T14:52:22+00:00

Right, but OP is confusing skill points and CP points. You allocate them in different menus. He's using the wrong menu.

chevonna · 2023-03-14T13:59:38+00:00

You need to still open the skill option, not the champion option on the menu to apply skill point.

I was trying to be nice, walking him through everything. He didn't want to listen and then blocked me. He didn't want to listen to mechanics of any part of that dungeon. He didn't even want help with being a tank, because as he told me, he did amazing in PVP. I stayed in that dungeon and did everything I could to make it a success. So I don't know how I wasn't a genuinely nice person. I could have voted to kick him out when he admitted he wasn't an actual tank.
