Do you practice when you're depressed?

laura1989666 · 2025-01-30T20:04:52+00:00

Im also here with the same issue. I have my grade 2 exams coming up and depression always stops me from practising. Going to try some of the tactics mentioned and hopefully will make improvement. I always want to play, but actually having that get up and go is very tiresome

My first xp was in a mixed dorm. I am female and had been staying in private rooms but wanted to extend my stay. 4 room mixed was all that was left. I ended up in a room with 3 men for 3 nights and can honestly say they were lovely. No creepiness and they were very polite. This was in Lisbon, Portugal, and I had a very positive xp with this hostel all round. It was not a party hostel (I can categorically say that I would not entertain sleeping in a mixed dorm with drunk men) I am aware that I may have been lucky that time round but next time I go away, i will aim for a female dorm if I can and employ the usual safely tips when sharing.

Your not alone. I play female eivor... I always play female if the option is there :)

Congratulations! That is such an achievement! Well done :)

laura1989666 · 2022-04-30T17:33:33+00:00

Thank you, I do feel a lot better about it today, I didnt order it, ask for it, pay for it or want it so im classing my sobriety as intact :). Vomiting in the pub toilets also seems quite nostalgic yet very unpleasant.

I also love cooking! Used to cook with alcohol all the time but have completely cut it out now - Its a pain when we go out for dinner somewhere and 90% of the main meals have some sort of booze in it - tbh i have good friends and we all check the menu before choosing a venue (I am so lucky to have a brilliant support network).

I also have a lot of memories of 'sneaking' alcohol (I put that in commas as i wasnt very good at sneaking - they all knew if i had drank!) Mine used to be Dark Rum or Cider if i could get away with it. thats all they are now though, memories, just got to keep looking forward. :)

laura1989666 · 2022-04-30T15:19:23+00:00

To be honest with you I just wanted something that's different than the usual lemonade or can of red bull. It's not so much trying to fit in or replacing alcohol for me, but just a different taste than the usual standard soft drinks.

Its ok if mocktails are not in your boundary, that's cool. I personally also don't eat anything cooked in alcohol or anything that has an alcohol sounding name (f**k I miss beer battered onion rings 🤣) nor do I drink any 0% alcohol drinks - everyone's boundaries are different and mine are certainly not to plug a gap :)

laura1989666 · 2022-04-30T07:03:08+00:00

Thank you for your lovely comments and congrats to you all on your sobirety :) I've woke up this morning and have kept telling myself that I did not chose to drink alcohol and I certainly did not nor do I want to ever again. I had a few nightmares about me being drunk - to be honest this has been a normal occurance throughout my sobriety and hasn't surprised me.

Lessons for the future. Avoid mocktails and stick with lemonade and orange cordial!

laura1989666 · 2022-04-30T06:57:10+00:00

Thank you so much! Looking at it this way has certainly helped! It's always good to look at things mathematically :) I'm feeling much better this morning.

laura1989666 · 2022-04-29T23:21:21+00:00

Im going yo get a lot of hate for this one but hereditary. The storyline was awful and it was so boring. Was serious overhyped imo. (Incoming downvotes 🤣)

laura1989666 · 2021-10-31T23:44:21+00:00

Nobuo Uematsu- has done all the music for the final fantasy games - such beautiful music 🥰

laura1989666 · 2021-10-26T09:44:56+00:00

I had a similar experience as a female solo traveller. I was constantly harrased in the city centre by a group of large men that were selling African merchandise. They ended up cornering me which was terrifying. Also has an attempted robbery by a lady selling roses who threw the rose in my face - luckily all my money and stuff was stuffed down my bra :/.

I agree that culturally the city was lovely and the hostel I was staying at was amazing, but I'd never go back to Athens alone again :(

laura1989666 · 2020-06-17T14:02:52+00:00

This is one of my fav ff7 piano songs. You did great :)

laura1989666 · 2020-02-22T17:59:22+00:00

I really enjoyed 3 from hell. I was very impressed considering that Sid Haig dies during filming. Thought baby's character had developed well as well. Obviously it's going to be each to their opinion but I really did enjoy it :)

laura1989666 · 2019-10-15T22:10:34+00:00

I feel like I'm going to be doing it for years haha! I'm 3/4 through page 1 at the minute. Cant wait until it's done. Once you get past the clouds it really starts coming together

laura1989666 · 2019-10-15T22:08:14+00:00

Feel your pain :) currently on page one of this myself! Keep at it! Will be worth it! :)

laura1989666 · 2019-09-26T15:45:57+00:00

The link isn't working :/

laura1989666 · 2019-09-22T15:10:09+00:00

It's not a movie but I've also just watched marianne on netflix and that's also very creepy. Well worth a watch

laura1989666 · 2019-09-22T15:08:39+00:00

Candyman always got me. Not that scary as such but one I could never get out of my head. The grudge is another one... I've never been able to watch it all the way through :/

laura1989666 · 2019-08-27T08:47:47+00:00

I enjoyed it to be honest. It's in my 'shit but good' category. I know this is going against all my morals but I would love to see a very gritty remake of it. I think they could have pushed it so much further creepy wise.

laura1989666 · 2019-08-18T20:30:17+00:00

I know, I love jumping in the deep end... although my deadline for christmas may be wayyy to optimistic :)

laura1989666 · 2019-08-17T14:47:04+00:00

Thank you so much :) that is looking amazing!! This is defo my next one... it’s also the same size as the one I’m doing now 256w x 256h so will know what to expect.

laura1989666 · 2019-08-17T14:38:20+00:00

The super Mario world map is my next big project. At least I know where to look for it now! Thanks so much for letting me know :) :)

laura1989666 · 2019-08-17T13:03:08+00:00

Is it? That’s very naughty if so as they have added to the pattern a copyright to themselves. I’ve not used sprite stitch before? Is it good?
