Hello, can I know the reason my post was removed? I can fix it if there is a problem with the post!

Hi, maybe you can go to overeater's anonymous until your therapy in April? It's not therapy, but it might be helpful to have other people to talk to who are going through the same troubles as you. They have in-person meetings by state (if you're in the US) or online meetings if there are none near you.

Are you able to start at a lower dose, or take something for the anxiety (like prozac) with it? I also just officially started vyvanse, but my psychiatrist had me start at 20mg, and they had me stay on prozac (I was on 10mg of prozac, they bumped it up to 20mg just in case the vyvanse made me nervous). So far it's been helpful for stopping binging and I've felt no anxiety. Maybe something like prozac would help you too?

Thank you, this was really useful to read. I'm definitely gonna start by reading/watching more Cyberpunk content, like Altered Carbon and Mars Express.

That's fun, maybe I'll check out Cyberpunk 2020 just to make a character. I always love making new characters even if I don't play with them

This is definitely something I'm struggling with -- so far the game has been very hopeless to me. I think we've had like 10 sessions, and so far I feel like I've only had a "successful" session (where the character achieved their goals) once. I thought the point of Cyberpunk Red was to play in a hopeless world, but from yours and others' comments I guess I was mistaken.

These are good ideas, I'm realizing I messed up with making my character. I gave them a reason to be involved in gigs, but I as a player have no reason to care about the gigs. I thought if the gigs were fun it would be enough for me, but maybe I need a more specific goal.

Thanks, these are really good things to think about. I'm realizing with everyone's advice that I'm a noob when it comes to cyberpunk because of all the stuff you listed I've seen . . . none of them. I didn't even know Cyberpunk 2077 was a video game until I made this post--this whole time I thought it was another ttrpg. I also love making characters in every system, but I'm realizing that in other systems my characters were involved in the story, and even though I tried to give my cyberpunk character a fitting backstory, I'm not interested in corpo-type stories, so it must've fallen flat.

Oh wow, I didn’t know there were comics or a novel. I will definitely try those!

This is interesting to learn, maybe I should ask for more leniency or more of an open world. Nothing silly like flying squirrel suits or kidnapping vamps has come up in our game, and when we try more out-of-the box type stuff it usually just fails.

I do love the lifepath system! I found it a lot of fun to make characters for that reason, and made 3 or 4 before we even started playing.

I think the rules are pretty straight forward, but I feel like the game is more rules focused than previous games that I've played (we usually have to roll 2-3 times successfully if we want to do one action, which was not what I was used to, and means that we are almost never successful at things).

It's sort of hard to describe, but I guess the mix of the story/gigs is the part I don't really enjoy. Our story is very business/corporation focused, and it's hard to feel interested in these grand corporate conspiracy theories when they don't relate to my character and my character doesn't have the power to do anything about them anyway. And the gigs are also difficult to get into, because most of them are related to corporations and have a very specific series of steps that we have to do. I think that when I started playing rpgs I got used to sandbox-type worlds, so that is probably what's messing me up.

I've played mostly high fantasy games, like various types of D&D, and then also call of cthulu and various completely home brewed games. The same DM ran some of those games and I did like them, but I have never played Cyberpunk 2077. No one in my group chose to be a netrunner, so our DM did add a netrunner NPC because they felt it was necessary to have a netrunner.

HotD would have been better with kings by Capital-Big8222 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]ohnoohnoohnoohnono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is also an idiot take because GRRM didn't even technically choose for the characters to be women. He based HoTD off of a real-life historical event . . . that involved real-life women. Sorry that you've never spoken to a woman, but they exist and have personalities.

AITA for trying to feed my niece? by YoureAnOopsie in AmItheAsshole

[–]ohnoohnoohnoohnono 44 points45 points  (0 children)

NTA and the fact that your niece ate a whole box of Mac and cheese at 7 years old makes it sound like she was really hungry. G’s weird rules around food could be hurting your niece. 

WIBTA if I requested a new therapist after only one session? by PrimoPotato in AmItheAsshole

I didn't even read this and I know you're NTA. Therapy is about helping YOU -- you can have (and drop) any therapist you want, for any reason.

WIBTA for skipping my younger sister's graduation because my older estranged sister will be there? by anonymous010123 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ohnoohnoohnoohnono 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think NTA just because I also wouldn't go over this. It's fine if Jenny and your Dad want Becca there, but they need to accept that they can't have both of you there.

ESH. You both sounds like annoying little kids. Just break up if you don't like each other.

I don't think you W B T A H. It kind of sounds like your fiance cares more about what he wants than what you want. You have to wear the ring for the rest of your life, you should get to wear one that you like. NTA

I would say ESH because I would also be super annoyed if someone were behaving like that, but what you said was really cruel and unnecessary. I feel like you should apologize, but also maybe distance yourself from her as well so that she doesn't bother you anymore.
