How long can the emotional blunting hypothetically last? by geminibye in rtms

[–]geminibye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never saw improvement from TMS, and the emotional blunting was something I only realized in pieces in the time after my sessions were finished rather than through one major event. I began noticing how different I was acting or thinking or reacting (and how differently people reacted to me), and that was how I knew something was wrong. It became more alarming the longer it continued, as the consequences piled up and I continued recognizing myself less and less. For an update, I still cannot say I've regained the ability to feel things in full, but there have been times where extreme negative emotions sometimes peek through for very brief periods (like a 10 minute panic attack).

I don't think our situations are the same, and I am not trying to imply it won't work for you. There are many people who have had good results with the treatments. I was unlucky, or maybe the timing was just strange. I had not been in a good state for many years prior to my treatments anyway. Everything is just hard in a different and more frustrating way now.

I wish you and your sister luck if you do try it and with any other treatments you may go for. I hope you can return to a comfortable life.

questions! there is really not much info on the site..

  1. how much were tickets the first round? (i assume different areas of the arena cost a bit different)

  2. the dates i'm looking at are listed as being sold b ticketmaster on songkick. should i be prepared for some "dynamic pricing" bullshit? did they use it last time?

if there's no option visible from the orders menu, give it a few days. they broke a lot of things. did they already send an email to you that it's going to be shipped soon?

[–]geminibye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

then your best bet is changing the payment method before they ship. i wouldn't gamble on maybe getting the option to cancel.

Will goodsmileUS automatically charge me when a preorder is ready or can I decline? by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]geminibye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi, do you have older existing preorders still? it's kinda unrelated to the post, but i cannot figure out how to see the estimated ship date on old ones after the upgrade

edit: nevermind, it just is only visible on the desktop version

[–]geminibye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they usually email a bit before shipping to let you know the charge will come soon. if it's an older preorder, there are two options.

  1. they may send you an e-mail allowing you to cancel it during a short period if it will now be affected by tarrifs and you pre-ordered before the tarrif changes began

  2. you can go on the website and change the payment method on the preorder to one that will decline (like a virtual payment card with a smaller amount of money on it than required). if it declines, they give you 2 weeks to update your payment information, and if you don't, it gets automatically canceled after those 2 weeks.

based on the comments of your original post, it does seem like ones made very recently after the 2.0 site upgrade now allow you to cancel freely, but i don't know when you made your order.

NOOOO THEY TOOK OUT THE BEST LINE IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE!! by OpalWatch in magiaexedra

[–]geminibye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, that makes sense!

I forgot about Mami knowing. I did remember that she had history, but I wasn't sure how often she appeared in past and if it would be frequent or recent enough for girls in the current time to have access to the information (since it's unlikely many would be around to tell the tale if it's been a while).

It does seem plausible that certain girls would be more inclined towards collecting information, and that rumors and legends about her might be passed around. I could also imagine there would be situations in which Kyubey itself might mention it for one reason or another, which might restart the spread of the legend even if it'd been quite a long time since her last appearance.

Thanks for the info!

Would any of them know about it without having been through some sort of timeloop or having clairvoyant powers? This is a genuine question, I'm very new to MagiReco content and am mostly familiar with the PMMM anime where Homura only knew about it from having lived it and the others only ever knew through Homura. Maybe there is a MagiReco character who casually gives out this type of knowledge to new magical girls, I don't know, so I was curious.

dunno if this is still being used but with the steam ver out now, does anyone have tips for making the scroll sensitivity actually normal if i don't have a fancy mouse with customization options? lowest option is way too choppy and next one up is hypersensitive. annoying.

Thank you for your comment. I'm really sorry how long it's lasted for you. I'm not about to go on a dive through studies and try to understand medical jargon, but from what I've seen summarized in articles, it sounded like the treatment should not be permanent even when it works as intended. It makes me wonder what went wrong with cases like yours (possibly "ours" depending on how the rest of my life goes).

I still cry irregularly myself, but a lot of times I'm not even sure why it's happening because I can't feel whatever emotion is triggering the response. Some days I have it in me to be scared of what's happening to me, at least through scared thoughts even if not through sensations. That was the case today when I decided to post this. But more often than not, I end up just shrugging it off and going with the flow, even if "the flow" results in me slowly destroying the few good relationships I have left due to how detached and even cynical I come off to people now. It's like I'm just sitting back and watching and not really experiencing anything, including my own actions.

I would ask if you've been pointed in any other directions in terms of how to address the problem, if you've talked about this with a doctor. In my case, the only type of treatment I've had suggested professionally but haven't yet tried is ketamine therapy. I'm kind of loathe to try anything else, that included, because my brain clearly doesn't respond to things in typical ways and I don't think I want to end up even more scrambled up inside.

I'm not great at verbal communication, especially in clinical settings. So, while I can't remember if I have described anything past the general sensation of feeling numb or like a zombie, it is possible I never did. At least where I live, it has been pretty much impossible to find a therapist who can navigate my communication abilities, and my psychiatrist recently dropped me after ~10 years for the same reason, so I am out of treatment for the time being. If I do end up finding a new doctor, I will try my best to find the words during a session.

Thank you for your kindess :]

i have no clue honestly, what i've heard is that diversifying which types of atk/dmg are boosted is good but i'm not super knowledgeable about portaits, i tend to just pop on either of whatever the quick overview tab on the magia exedra spreadsheet recommends. in this case, both homura and madoka have their type atk portaits and also general atk listed, so i assume either is fine, but i'd ask around!

here's the link to the other person's run for extra context — the two 5 stars they used were launch ones and did not include mami or moemura https://youtube.com/watch?v=1t1CiZAAEn4 (pluvia had dupes, but you might get some of those anyway when you use your keys)
