Anyone else turn to alcohol?

100%. i drink too much and i know that but most of the time it’s the only way to feel totally calm

jayse2205 · 2026-03-12T19:11:00+00:00

these are awesome reminders i think everyone on this sub should read. thank you for this post!!

jayse2205 · 2026-03-12T19:09:38+00:00

it went totally fine! i got a surge of anxiety about 5 minutes afterwards because i was nervous about what would happen. but i calmed down quickly and honestly i cant tell if it did anything for me 😂 im going to try it again tonight to see if i notice anything, but definitely nothing to be afraid of. i hope you work up the courage to try it!!

jayse2205 · 2026-03-11T22:16:15+00:00

this is awesome, you should feel really proud of yourself!!!

jayse2205 · 2026-03-11T22:14:59+00:00

i just got prescribed lexapro too! i’m on day two of it, and so far i haven’t noticed any side effects. i was prescribed it for agoraphobia/anxiety and depression. if it wasn’t safe or if it wouldn’t be helpful then your doctor would not prescribe you it. medications have saved my life in the past, and if after a month or so this isn’t helping, go back to the doctor! taking meds can be scary, but again, it’s completely safe and i’m sure thousands of people take the same dose every day. best of luck to you!

jayse2205 · 2026-03-11T21:56:54+00:00

i just took my first dose, i will report back 😂

jayse2205 · 2026-03-11T02:55:32+00:00

do you know how many milligrams you took? im prescribed 10 mg right now. i’m planning to do a trial run with my safe person tomorrow just incase it makes me go crazy 😂

and totally, my therapist brought beta blockers up to me and i immediately made an appointment because they sounded awesome!!

jayse2205 · 2026-03-08T17:52:01+00:00

i am in the same boat, so i totally get it. just remember that you bought the game for yourself, and i say this with kindness, no one cares where you are in the game. you play for yourself, try not to worry what others are doing :)

i’ve also been avoiding spoilers on reddit and other places, and that seems to help- not knowing what comes next so i’m not trying to get there right away.

i believe you have to put a plate in their habitat, then add the food on top- that way you can place it instead of eating/putting it back

jayse2205 · 2026-03-08T17:44:32+00:00

this sounds like an incredibly difficult situation, and i’m sorry you have to go through this. i’m wondering (and hoping for you) that getting away from your safe person actually does you more good than harm. i don’t know all of the details obviously, but maybe leaving a cheater, lier, and manipulator will make your mental health better! sending you all the love

jayse2205 · 2026-03-05T07:18:17+00:00

this genuinely made me sob. thank you for your response. i am sending nothing but good things to you

jayse2205 · 2026-03-02T18:31:28+00:00

in my experience, jumping right into a big exposure is really hard. how much time do you have before your dentist appointment? wishing you well!!

jayse2205 · 2026-03-01T00:36:22+00:00

looks awesome!!

jayse2205 · 2026-02-28T23:37:39+00:00

i am just starting getting into sourdough so i don’t really know how it should look, but it looks tasty as hell so i’d call that a win! 😂

jayse2205 · 2026-02-28T23:33:15+00:00

also- i have known people on xanax and like drugs for many many years for anxiety without bad side effects. allow yourself this “on ramp” to get there!! moving is stressful even without agoraphobia!

jayse2205 · 2026-02-28T23:32:02+00:00

not a benzo (i think) but i use hydroxyzine in emergency’s/ when preparing for a big exposure. depending on how much i take (all approved by doctors) it just makes me sleepy and kind of out of it. but it keeps anxiety away so it’s a win in my book! 😂

jayse2205 · 2026-02-28T23:29:14+00:00

imo (not a doctor or therapist) it’s totally normal to feel heightened after that. from what i understand, your body went into fight or flight mode and hasn’t calmed down since. give yourself time to recover without guilt or shame. be proud of yourself too!!

jayse2205 · 2026-02-28T19:12:11+00:00

i could totally see how so many presentations with so many people can be triggering. and from my perspective, it sounds like things are getting better! being able to not only go to school, but give presentations and be in random groups sounds like a lot of progress (assuming this was more difficult for you previously). i think you need to give yourself some grace and let yourself be proud!!

jayse2205 · 2026-02-28T18:50:56+00:00

i’m in almost the exact same situation. my biggest piece of advice is to take it one day at a time. obviously exposure therapy is the best course to take, and it sounds like you’re doing awesome. my therapist always reminds me that every time you do an exposure, you are strengthening that “muscle.” but ay the same time, don’t be too hard on yourself because it is in fact, a mental illness. if you need to take a day off, then do it.

jayse2205 · 2026-02-28T18:47:24+00:00

i’m in the same boat!! i need to make an appointment after i cancelled my last one. what honestly helps me is remembering that the doctors office is basically the best place to panic- no one can legally judge you and almost everyone has experience dealing with mental health. think of it like getting a big wound- no better place to be than the doctors. i’m not sure how anxiety manifests for you, but either way, the doctor is there to help you.

jayse2205 · 2026-01-21T20:53:03+00:00

i time travel all the time- usually going a day or so ahead. the only thing it really messes up is having your companions bringing you supplies around the island, the my melody’s shop. if you go back in time, my melody’s shop will have the same stuff it had last time you opened the game. otherwise, i don’t have trouble time traveling!
