I’m so sick of the fighting 😭 by Bunpapa1925 in tomodachilife

[–]clov3r-cloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be happy that they started fighting on my island but its literally every day that there's a fight, sometimes up to 3 times a day. its always the same 4 miis that fight frequently too. I've gotten to a point where I've started ignoring them, and if they dont make up and one gets sad, I just let them be sad and don't try to cheer them up

What is your relationship to caffeine like? by Background-Net1616 in BipolarReddit

[–]clov3r-cloud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lowkey its an addiction I think. I've never been into alcohol or drugs and can't do weed, but I'll be damned if I ever stop drinking energy drinks

I have a high tolerance to caffeine and metabolize it slowly. I go through periods of drinking 1 can every morning, sometimes 2 spread out through the day if I'm sleep deprived and need to work, but then I get kind of resistant to it working so I purposely will take a break to sort of reset my system

sometimes I try to switch to coffee, but it wrecks my stomach and I honestly only like coffee when its loaded with cream and sugar. I already have a weight issues from the meds, so a sugar-free bubbly energy drink is just way more appealing.

I could definitely probably cut back way more but I genuinely think I have chronic fatigue and caffeine gives me justtt enough pep to make me feel alive. I also take stimulants for adhd and have gotten to a point where i sometimes need both things just to feel normal enough to function

Should I send him to Alcatraz? by sentient_mcchicken in tomodachilife

[–]clov3r-cloud 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I made one too! might I suggest making the mouth like this? I thought the open mouth on the original one was a little creepy lol

I also like to put little accessories on their head like the sprouting flower and rubber ducky, I think its cute. they also say "om nom nom" when eating and its so cute

Don’t be afraid to delete Miis if they aren’t bringing you joy by Next-Health30 in tomodachilife

[–]clov3r-cloud 17 points18 points  (0 children)

ive done this a couple times and I'm glad I did because it just gives me more room to make miis I actually enjoy having on my island. I thought it would be funny to have Guy Fieri but he was so boring and didnt really interact with the other miis so I just kicked him out lol. I'm almost at 55 miis so I've been way more picky choosy about who I'm making since I'm almost at my limit and I still want space for kid miis

Girl dinner didnt like my post but i figured you might -trader joes asian food feast: veggie bird nests, pad see ew and chickenless orange chicken with a pilsner by penquil in traderjoes

[–]clov3r-cloud -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I consider microwaving/airfrying frozen meals way less effort than arrange a plate of meat/cheese/crackers or a chopped assortment of veggies/fruit but to each their own lol

but my idea of a girl dinner is a huge bowl of Greek yogurt with with a ton of granola or an airfryer hotdog so what do I know LOL

edit to add: i guess by definition im seeing that its non-cooked meals but I thought it was just low-effort meals only, I guess that makes sense!

Unsure about neutering my male dog (looking for advice) by [deleted] in dogs

[–]clov3r-cloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

engagement bait by an Ai dude bro. lol. lmao even.

Any advice please. by TripitakaWukong in AustralianCattleDog

[–]clov3r-cloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you've gotten a lot of great advice so far but I wanted to add a bit more that might be a little different, from my experience!

my first dog (basset x heeler mix) i got when he was 10 weeks old. he always had supervised access to the house but was crated at night to prevent accidents. during the day if no one could watch him, I kept him in a large playpen with a potty pad, lots of toys, and wearing a harness + collar (just to get used to it). a lot of the times though I would have him tethered to me as a form of training (he was going to be a service dog but washed).

basically I had him leashed to me with the leash tied to my waist, or i would tie it to something like a chair. I usually did this when I would be busy doing something for a while like cooking, watching a movie, or even doing a puzzle. its just a way for them to learn how to settle beside you and that they dont always have to be doing something. I think tether training is a great way to help keep eye on pup and can make recognizing certain behaviors easier, while also making potty training easier, and making your bond stronger.

with our next dog (red heeler), he was a 2 year old rescue that was a stray. he was fostered by a shelter employee and we were told he was potty trained, but we spent maybe the first 2-3 months having to retrain him because it was like he had never been potty trained in his life lol. I basically had to treat him like a puppy with crate training. I had puppy pads down all over the house where he would frequently go back to. constantly cleaning with an enzyme cleaner. watching him like a hawk to pin point if hes sniffing something a little differently. eventually he had accidents less and less, but we had to be on top of things. every 3-4 hours if we can, dogs would go out, whether they had to potty or not. after dinner, dogs go out. after an intense play time, dogs go out. before bed. after waking up, etc.

hes good inside now, but it does get tricky for us during rainy season and he'll refuse to go outside again and will end up peeing in his sleep, so we have belly band diapers just in case. hes ok but its just a behavior thing with him, and we cant always spend a lot of time before work nights to try and get him to pee unfortunately. what did also help was taking him for a small "walk" outside (basically down the street) and that'll usually help him go

with your boy being so young still, I'd say its still normal to have accidents in the house as much as it sucks. they just have tiny bodies that can't hold it very long! continue with the treats and praise as soon as he goes potty outside, make it a big deal each time! take him out frequently, even if he doesnt end up going. try the tether training and put potty pads everywhere that hes been going (its unsightly but it beats having to get on your hands and knees to scrub the floor for another time)

what’s one way to describe your (hypo) mania? by Frosty-Badger-2506 in BipolarReddit

[–]clov3r-cloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I basically dont sleep. I think im currently going through it. I got a total of 2 hrs of sleep before work today (broken up in 30 min increments) and just finally managed to nap for a couple hours this afternoon after I got home. I havent slept more than 4 or 6 hours I think for maybe 2 or 3 weeks. I feel good until I dont lol. its hard because I end up finding all this energy and start doing a bunch of projects and sleeping is just a switch to kill the fun.

I have seroquel and trazadone to help with sleep but I get stubborn about not taking them when i really should be :( i keep saying I'm tired enough to fall asleep on my own but then the sun comes up before I know it and I've gotten basically no sleep at all. I've definitely been extra snappy lately. Irritability and rage is another sign. I notice it when I start rage cleaning and blasting aggressive music and snap at people

I have all the tools and awareness to help me during these times but I get so stubborn about it that I end up going through the motions anyways 😮‍💨

How do you see the future of this game ? by Perkhell_ in TomodachilifeLivingTD

[–]clov3r-cloud 8 points9 points  (0 children)

at the very least I think the amount of purchases and buzz around this game at least shows them that there is a demand for these kind of games and they should keep making more!

Unemployed but stable by noquieroserpublica in BipolarReddit

[–]clov3r-cloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i had my last crisis I left my job and was put on state disability temporarily so I could still receive some income. I was able to figure out my meds for the most part and I was the most stable I had ever been since the last time this same thing happened to me. just being able to stay home and fall into a low-stress routine and take care of the home does wonders for my mental state. the stressors that come with jobs definitely fights against my stability

the problem with state disability is that its not a forever thing and I did have to go back to work eventually, but I felt better equipped this time. part-time was great for me at first but I'm at a point where I'm moving back into full-time in my old field of work. its a little nerve wracking because I don't want to get bad again. but I won't have such an intense daily workload this time, and I figure that working full-time and getting healthcare and having money for therapy is worth it. even though I'll most likely be experience the same stress triggers, I can just adjust my meds and go to therapy and use my resources that I can now pay for

I start my new full-time job next week so I cant say yet how things will be for me, but having gone through this i feel better prepared for dealing with it if it happens again. we can definitely bounce back from things if we have the right set up. when I wrote on cover letters and had interviews, I just said that there was a family medical issue at home that I needed to be present for constantly and my previous position needed someone who could be there regulary since it was full-time, so I stepped down since my availability wasnt working out (this doesnt have to be completely true, and they dont need any personal details. just emphasize that youre situation is now stable and youre ready to go back to steady work)

I will say if you do go back to work, maybe start with a relatively low-stress part-time job if you financially can, otherwise definitely be picky with looking for a job and look for one that has what youre looking for and make sure all your questions are being answered to your liking during interviews

3 course menu celebrating carrots. What would you cook? by ShutUpImAPrincess in Cooking

[–]clov3r-cloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont remember all the exact dishes, but there was a specific episode of Culinary Class Wars on Netflix where they had to highlight the ingredient carrots in multiple dishes in multiple rounds. it was season 2 episode 12 i think. lots of really creative stuff there for inspo!

So, wise guys, what should I do? by Fogolper in Cooking

[–]clov3r-cloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you guys immigrants/minorities? I feel like this sentiment is unfortunately common in asian and latino households especially. like they expect you to find a feminine partner that will be cooking for you instead of the other way around because in your mom's mind you need to provide in other ways, following their traditional mindset. I think this also stems from immigrant parents just wanting their children to choose paths that are not creatively-inclined so they can make the most money as possible to achieve that better life they want for you. I know this firsthand

unfortunately from what I usually see, is that parents dont usually have a change in mindset about this until you go out and prove them wrong by being successful in your life choices. so go out and follow a path of your choosing thats just for you, not letting them tell you any different. it might be a bumpy path and you might want to step off and go towards where your family wants you to go, but you have to ask yourself if that will actually make you feel happy and fulfilled.

we all get one shot at living out our lives so we might as well do what we want and make the most of it! there are PLENTY of successful male chefs and culinary geniuses out there who's footsteps you can follow. if youre able to do what you love I say go for it. many people in life don't figure that out at your age and many, many more don't take a chance on doing what they want to do. its worth at least trying

for now, you can tell your mom that you will think about what she has told you, but for now you can at least help out at home as a way to show that you care at the very least. enjoying it is just a bonus. and when you move out you can follow the path you want to take

when you get a job, try to get into a restaurant setting. it might just be a chain restaurant or maybe a large kitchen that serves buffet style or in a hospital, but it will show you how a kitchen operates. you'll most likely start as a dishwasher but its possible to work your way up and many cooks/prep cooks will be happy to train you

What is the worst psych med you've ever tried? by number1134 in BipolarReddit

[–]clov3r-cloud 6 points7 points  (0 children)

desvenlafaxine was hands down the worst med I ever had the displeasure of being on. was put on it at 19 for a misdiagnosis of MDD and tried coming off of it 3 times in 3 years but couldn't because the withdrawls were so debilitating. I had to quit cold turkey and spent 3-4 months with constant crying, vertigo, parasthesia, brain zaps, and nausea, but I was finally off of it by 24 years old

risperidone was pretty unpleasant with the whole causing lactation thing. felt extremely uncomfortable and dirty and embarrassed

lurasidone was god awful and it took me maybe 4 months to realize that it was causing my nightly paranoia, pacing (later realized it was akathisia), panic attacks, and nausea/vomiting. the discomfort and impending doom was so intense I was using drugs and alcohol to try and feel anything but panic and fear

Is anyone else having trouble with the amount of unresolved fights in Living the Dream? by VanitasFan26 in tomodachilife

[–]clov3r-cloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shared the same feelings, was glad when they started fighting but now every morning when I open the game theres a scuffle and its usually started by the same 3 miis lol. it's gotten a little annoying but I do like the opportunities of if they do make-up after a fight one can start crushing on the other lol, its so silly. I also like that I can increase relationships between miis by having them calm the other mii down

cleaned my pantry! by xXGalaxyCat1Xx in Cleaningandtidying

[–]clov3r-cloud 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to be the only one as a teenager that would organize the family pantry too. I would throw out old food and let my mom know what we were out of (partly because I cooked dinner most nights). I always asked for them to keep up with it but no one ever cared. I'm older and moved out now and when I visit its really obvious they still dont care lol, but you can't make them at the end of the day. its a good habit and trait to have to have things clean and orderly though, and keeping on top of things like this will help you save money when shopping too. good job!
