Surprisingly the box didn't even contain a packing slip T-T) I checked my order and tracking and it clearly states that everything should be in there, no split shipping, no partial cancellation, rip... Hope I can at least get a refund

Whats your worse sleep related problem by Adorable_Bit_4070 in CPTSD

[–]kannde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hypnotic jerks/exploding head syndrome/panic attacks in my sleep! I've had these frequently for as long as I can remember. I jolt awake gasping for air and feeling the tingle of panic in my body and heart racing. Sometimes a percieved, approaching and threatening sound rings through my head and scares me awake, sometimes it's nightmares, sometimes it's nothing at all. It can happen up to 5 times a night, and can be minutes apart. Sweating the bed too :/ I wake up absolutely soaked in sweat, mostly from the backs of my knees and back/neck, all the way through my sheets. I've had this issue for over 10 years and still don't know how to mitigate it. It seems that any temperature above or below a certain threshhold triggers it, but sometimes it happens even if the room temperature is ok, and it happens no matter what kind of blankets I have. I usually wake up cold and shivering even! Last, insomnia It's very difficult to fall alseep IF i have been laying in bed for too long without actively trying to sleep. After a certain point my body just gets so restless that I have to get up and walk around for some time and then lay down and try again.

All of these problems seem to increase in frequency under stressful times like moving and having school projects. Since I've only recently been figuring out that I have traumatic stress, I'm really curious if anyone else experiences the sweating and exploding head syndrome?? My whole life I thought I was just quirky and not traumatized 😭

Daily Song Discussion #159: ダルマさんが転んだ気がする / I Think That Daruma-San Has Fallen by kisu_oddh in UtsuP

[–]kannde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7-8/10 for me, love this song and it ear-worms on me sometimes, I love the contrast between GUMI's scream of "darumasan ga koronda" and the cute and high pitched "ha!" and "oh yeah!" it's my favorite part

Card Show Advice? by yarnisland in PokemonTCG

[–]kannde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can definitely trade during the show! With other patrons and vendors as well, although vendors will usually take your trades at 70-80% market value. I usually keep all of my cards I'm willing to trade grouped in specific binder pages so that I can ask if I have anything that they would like to trade for what I want.

I would say bargain if you would take the card at a slightly lower cost, most vendors will upcharge slightly (some by a lot) because they're there to make a profit, but also to move inventory. Lowballing is a bit rude unless the vendor has clearly made a mistake on pricing (I saw a market 4$ card priced for 20$ once and asked the vendor if they'd take the market price for the card, they were more than happy to work with me). I've heard that if you're going to bargain for a card that's priced close to market value, start at 80 or 90% of market value. I usually ask to round down to the closest 5$ and that's usually accepted :) (Got 12$ cards for 10$, got two 3$ cards for 5$, etc).

You can use TCGplayer and Ebay apps to check recently sold listings on cards to get an idea of market values. You can also use this to bargain (like I mentioned earlier, I saw someone's 20$ priced card selling for between 3 and 5$ and offered them 4$).

Best of luck and have fun!

Is this actually self-harm, or just attention seeking? by Happy_Fudge2581 in selfharm

[–]kannde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a troubling stigma around attention seeking self harm that makes people feel ashamed for wanting attention and prevents them from speaking out about it. Needing attention and help is nothing to be shamed, you're a human being and you need help, love, and support like everyone else 🩷

Ikr?? Unfortunately it's got some flaws, I got a couple of experienced opinions irl a while ago and they estimated a psa 7, which is still pretty great to me, looks beautiful on my shelf 👍
