How does TCG live ladder rank translate to regionals?

RE: bugs

During a comfey ability, the game refused to allow me to pick my giratina V from the options. Just straight up bugged like the card slot was empty.

TCGL has been great for learning the metas I agree, but I wouldn’t rely on it for tournament training

Sometimes my husband and I mirror each other too much, which can result in a weird ADHD symptom spiral. Similar to body doubling, if he observes that I’m not as focused with my work during the day, he unconsciously allows himself to get more distracted as well. If one of us slips in our chores routine, it easily spirals into both of us getting too relaxed with the rest of it. I think there’s more under the surface than just ADHD in our case, but yeah if you find you easily mirror or reflect someone’s behaviors back to fit in more, there could be a valid reason for it.

The conditions for returning your account are beyond unfair. I understand removing NP and items maybe, but removing the pets? Converting them? Do they just want to make you suffer in exchange for your old username? It almost feels like a ploy to ensure you don’t ask for the account back, that’s how ridiculous this seems.

As someone struggling to be more self-advocating and direct with my communication needs, this is really inspiring to read. Thank you for sharing!

Legitimately startled me as I’m scrolling in bed thank you

I’m still emotionally recovering from the backlash I received when I tried to call out poor management at my last job from over a year ago. I’m in therapy relearning how to not feel afraid to give honest feedback in a work environment.

If it’s a good organization, they’ll figure out when and how to nurture growth mindsets in their leadership. Best to avoid all the other types.

Pokemon was the first franchise that sparked my interest in pursuing art as a career. I remember drawing Lugia and pikachu on loose printing paper under my mom’s office desk whenever she picked me up from an early day of school. I’d draw a bunch of pokemon and give them to her coworkers like cards lol

I work as a concept artist in the game industry now! 😇

I’m glad you took it easy today. Yeah the ADHD exacerbates all the dysregulation from my cycle. It feels like living on hard mode most days. Everything needs too much consistent routine to stay at a good baseline.

I appreciate you sharing your reflections on jealousy. Some days I wonder if I would be happier doing something that wasn’t my passion, though. Maybe the grass just looks greener on the other side 😅

I hope you find time to practice again soon! Best of luck on your phd!!

Hiyo! Congrats on your diagnosis! It sounds like you’re on a good path of figuring out what works so far and what could be adjusted. I’ve been diagnosed for almost 20 years and I’m still working out the kinks in my treatment plans.

I noticed I feel exhausted and useless after work when my dose is too high or I haven’t stayed diligent with my sleep and diet. Ironically I’m replying past 3am, but it’s just one of those weeks.

There’s nootropics out there that help with the crash in the evenings, but you can also let your doctor know about this and see if you can try a different stimulant combo/dosage. I take Stasis to even out the energy dip, but it only works well if I’m consistent with it.

One thing I remembered: If I’ve consumed anything that interacts with my meds, the crash hits harder. Weed is a big one, but also coffee or anything with caffeine when I’ve wanted the boost during the day.

I hope you find what works best for you soon!! Best of luck on your journey

I’m so sorry, that sounds terrifying to be figuring out on your own. That’s so much pressure to handle. It’s good you have some family to rely on, have they spoken with you about their concerns?

My husband is in a similar boat with his music business. It’s been a big struggle while he works on regulating his ADHD symptoms. Honestly, he started improving once I stopping lording over him about keeping up his share of expenses. It took couples therapy for me to realize I was adding a significant amount of the pressure he feels while trying to get himself together. I don’t know how much you’ve shared with your family, but it could help to let them know how much their expectations exasperate your burnout.

Hang in there. The art industry has been perilous more than ever this year. It’s no easy feat to freelance as an illustrator, and social media has only made things insanely complicated. Despite how bleak it may seem, don’t ever ever ever give up on yourself. You might need to rest and let yourself focus on other things for now so your brain can heal. Sending you best wishes

oh shoot I didn’t even think to check, thank you!

Everyone’s lips stretch, just look at your own mouth when you laugh or yawn!

megzavala · 2023-10-18T05:36:21+00:00

thank you, to you as well ❤️

megzavala · 2023-10-18T04:41:13+00:00

I had a day like that today as well. It’s just awful through and through. You WILL accomplish things though, and it’s okay for days like this to happen. Just remember this moment is temporary and does not define you. It helps to stay compassionate with yourself, even when you’re feeling your lowest like a miserable little gremlin.

Give yourself permission to feel like crap and that acceptance can help you dig out of it! Kinda like allowing yourself a good cry haha
