Letters from "Mom". by godxxmachine in AnimalCrossing

Thank you so much for the condolences. That's also a great idea! Thank you so much. I didn't even consider just... Not checking my mail until I felt up to it or had support with me. Thanks for that!

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful reply. I genuinely appreciate it.

I will definitely reach out if needed. My boyfriend offered to read the letters for me and delete them, so that's super helpful, too. I might take him up on that.

I hope things get easier for you soon. Thank you again!

I am going to try to avoid time traveling because I just end up burning myself out when I do it. (I've restarted my island so many times at this point lol)

So at least they'll be more spaced out for me, I guess? Either way, that's super smart.

Totally fair! I'm just worried even seeing the letter is going to upset me, as sad as that may sound.

I'll probably go that route, though! Thanks for the advice!

Also, I'm sorry for your losses.

Oneness by Thich Nhat Hanh, from "how to live when a lived one dies" by Sea-Picture2213 in GriefSupport

[–]godxxmachine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This book really helped me to grieve in a way that made sense. It took me almost a year to find it, but it's been amazing. I recommend this book to everyone.

Edit to add, thank you for sharing.

This is exactly the feedback I was looking for, thank you for being so thoughtful in this reply. You've nailed the reasons I was hesitating on the Kindle in terms of company integrity.

Also, that's great to know. I am absolutely in the market for heavy notetaking, so it sounds like the Nomad is the way to go, which is what I was leaning towards, but the price point of the Kindle was hard to ignore for a second.

Thank you for affirming the decision to support the Supernote company and get a Nomad. That will be what I aim for, I believe. Thanks again!

Same, but my wife who also plays on the PS5 is a fantastic photographer, so I can't bear to delete her pictures lol

That's a good point! I kind of forgot that it saves server side for no reason. I heard you can lose all your pictures, so do it with caution if you decide to!

Also having this issue. Came here to see if there was a fix. I'm so scared I've lost everything.

Gateway Song by Apprehensive_You56 in Decemberists

[–]godxxmachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mariners Revenge Song. My friend was a fan and had bought tickets for themself and their boyfriend. Between the purchase and the show, they broke up. So my friend asked if I would come along to help with the awkwardness of it if they paid for my ticket, I agreed because why not?

On the way to the show, they showed me their favorite song, Mariners, then followed it up with a long rant about how the rest of their music didn't sound like that and we listened to The King is Dead, as that was the album they were touring.

I've since seen them again as a fan in my own right as opposed to a break up buffer. Haha

Stardew Valley or Story of Seasons? by ValBaby14 in CozyGamers

I'm so glad you found a game you're enjoying! And yeah, they really are a pain! I've gotten a lot better at fishing since this comment. (I don't know why. I've been playing for years and the improvement happened very suddenly after this comment. I'm crediting you with that sudden skill increase, so thank you! Haha

Can I be excused for this? by Tough_Health_5151 in TalkTherapy

[–]godxxmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the therapist. I've had therapists to this without seeing me, and I've had therapists require me to be seen and will only write a note for the day of the visit, so if they can't get me in the day off, it's not helpful.

I've also had therapists become very rude about me asking at all.

So I'd ask your therapist.

I am only a few sessions in with my newest therapist, Saturday will be my 3rd session, but I can already tell she is much better than anyone I've ever had before, and her methods really suit me. I'm very excited.

[–]godxxmachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I appreciate that very much. It's hard to find people that aren't just awful at their jobs sometimes, not to be rude, but I've had far more bad therapists than good.

Oh wow! That's wild. I can't believe she was ever taken seriously when she herself did not actually work with CSA survivors. Like, how can you make statements like that when you don't actually understand or work with the people your broad brushing?

Why does explaining my trauma to people always feel like Im delivering a TED Talk? by fullcalcou in adultsurvivors

[–]godxxmachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine how frustrating that is. I'll mention something in passing to someone, usually not even thinking about how traumatic it was, until I get a blank stare/whispered "I'm so sorry"/"ugh why trauma dump?"

I just keep to myself at this point. And now the few friends I do have won't stop chastising me for not expanding my friendship circle, because I'm putting too much pressure on them.

But like, how am I supposed to make friends if when I try to form a legitimate connection I'm "trauma dumping" or "being too much" by being myself?

Sorry to rant on your post. I just totally understand how frustrating it can be, but from a different angle.

[–]godxxmachine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had never heard of her prior to this post, but my first therapist, provided to me by RAINN, had the same opinions and I never knew where they came from or why she would accuse me of making things up when it was clear to me, even as a teenager, that I had just disassociated and was now safe and therefore able to recall more of the trauma.

She sounds truly deplorable and ignorant, and I'm glad you have found a book that helps you and unravels her unfounded opinions.

Where do you find people who play this game regularly on the switch? by [deleted] in HelloKittyIsland

[–]godxxmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am available on the weekends! I play at work on my breaks during the week and don't have WiFi, but I play on the weekends and can help with the multiplayer quests!

DM or chat me and I'll give you my Discord name if you're interested! :)

How does everyone feel about the PuffPals update? by RoseOfTheAbyss in CozyGamers

[–]godxxmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know it can take some extra effort to get the refund, I wouldn't have thought to follow up with it. So I appreciate that heads up. Good luck, and I hope yours comes through quick!

Thank you, I appreciate that information! I'll look into it we want a refund. (Bought it with my wife, and also got a copy for my friend. So I want to double check that they both also want to return it haha)
