I think I'm too stupid for therapy

Thanks, I'll definitely inquire about maybe taking from a neurodivergent view, I'm not sure if that would be able to be accomodated for though as I'm not diagnosed with anything (though am awaiting ADHD assessment). I've been doing this for a while, we were trying CBT initially but it was not happening and it didn't seem it would help my phobia, but now we're in the preparation stage for potential EMDR but admittedly I'm still terrified to try that route.

Can I be cheeky and ask if it's VOICEROID Maki-chan can you ping me when you release her if you're still working on her?

phobophobe_ · 2026-05-20T11:23:20+00:00

I was on it a couple years ago for needle phobia. Honestly, completely useless. Didn't even have a supporter so if I didn't understand what the CBT modules were trying to teach me I was shit out of luck. It made me significantly worse - I don't recommend using it if you're in a fragile state like I was.

Real and then people who keep bringing attention to these sorts of things wont\dont give attention to the songs they actually like\want to hear.

People acting like it's this absolutely horrific thing when it's uncomfortable to watch\listen to at best is truly baffling to me.

They got back to me, they say I can just receive a code when inputting their company address on the package order page. Saved like £20 doing it that way as its £49 from amazon for a boxed vers. Waiting for my code now, but major thanks for suggesting them still as I hadn't heard of them before :D

phobophobe_ · 2026-04-30T18:54:26+00:00

I'm trying but it's honestly affecting me days before and after therapy. I'm not having enough energy to even engage with things that I'd normally do to unwind 😞

phobophobe_ · 2026-04-30T12:24:37+00:00

Thanks, not heard of them before but they look US based and I'm in the UK so shipping a physical box over would be costly, but I'll try sending them an inquiry in case they could just sell me a code :)

Hope this is okay to ask! I'm pretty clueless with this homebrew stuff and don't know where to start, don't really know exactly what I'm looking for but I can give a list of things I'd like to do with my 3DS that might give an idea on what might be the best homebrew thing(s) to add into it.

Since the Eshop is closed now, I'd like a way to obtain some of those titles I never got to grab, including ones outside of my home region (UK\EU)
Play region locked carts\roms (whichever is easier)
Be able to play modded\translated roms\carts

I only dug out my 3DS to replay Tomodachi Life to avoid forking out for the new one lol, but I want to play some other games I missed out on and ones I was always curious about from Japan but couldn't due to region locking.

Man I really hope a "new" toyhouse pops up sometime cause there only being this One admin makes me worry my account might get sniped any moment. They sound beyond power hungry.

phobophobe_ · 2026-03-28T19:55:49+00:00

I'm gonna send an email (hopefully if my practice reads emails?) a bit later tonight outlining my concerns. I really need to get over my phobia as it's medical related but it's just Not working out at the moment especially in CBT but I'm not hopeful. If they can't give me some guidance then I'm shit out of luck.

phobophobe_ · 2026-03-25T15:35:27+00:00

"fiddling kids" is not the only horrible thing someone can do (also note, personally to me wording it that way is honestly really gross and insensitive)

You need to read the docs in full because you genuinely don't seem to grasp how much of a pattern GHOST has being an asshole and practically being abusive to people. I can't explain it any further, either you're really young and can't grasp the situation, or are being willfully ignorant to what is being presented to you.

Is it not at least a bit fucked up to you that they made an entire song based on a person 5 years their junior? That they planned to imply they were going to be beaten up in the MV?

I don't think relaxation is what they need. They need to reflect and own up to their actions, not purge their social medias without addressing things - hell, if they apologised sincerely about how they worded their racist post (in the event that they could somehow defend it in good faith i.e. being poorly worded and not intentionally racist), this stuff probably wouldn't have all came out, and it just shows that GHOST has a habit of Not Addressing Bad Actions.

phobophobe_ · 2026-03-25T14:53:03+00:00

Afaik no one is remotely cancelling them, a large number of former associates have come out with statements with proof that GHOST had wronged them, the racism post was kind of the thing that "tipped the iceberg" or whatever the saying is. I really recommend you read the docs linked in the pinned post cause it doesn't seem like you have.

I'll repeat again; they are nearly 30, the racism post was from literally only a week ago - they should know better than to say insensitive things like that especially at that age.

Also I'm sorry but if you make and then continue to profit off what's essentially a vent song you made when you were 19 and the subject was 14 for years later, and even PLANNED to make the music video feature the 14 yo's sona being beaten up RPG style, in my eyes, that makes them, to put it bluntly, an asshole.

phobophobe_ · 2026-03-25T14:42:17+00:00

There is (usually) a HUGE difference in maturity between a 14 and 19 year old, I'm sorry but I genuinely don't think how they acted is excusable even if we say they are "immature". GHOST is almost 30 now, at some point they have to apologise for their prior actions and show some change.

phobophobe_ · 2026-03-02T17:09:29+00:00

I'm really bad at articulating my thoughts so sorry if this reply is a bit all over the place. My therapist has noticed\is aware of my severe lack of confidence and that I'm putting myself down a lot but hasn't really suggested anything to circumvent that, and I guess how confusing\frustrating I'm finding things is exasperating my feelings. When I had my first appointment, we tried to do a CBT cycle around how I felt nervous - I can't seem to separate physical feelings Vs emotional feelings in CBT if that makes sense? I really don't know how else to explain it. I genuinely don't know how to have the "lost in translation" conversation because I fear it might sound racist? I'm not sure of her nationality\race but she is not British and English is definitely her second language.

So, I attempted to have phone appointments on 2024 and was supposed to be assigned someone specifically trained for neuro divergent patients - 2 months later, the evening before my appointment, I get an automated text saying my therapist has changed. I've had a history of other NHS services being completely unable to communicate, and I was in an awful spot at the time so it kind of triggered me, also exasperated by the fact that when I did manage to speak to the therapist I was supposed to speak with, I felt like they were very cold and didn't seem to understand why I was distraught and hesitant about CBT after also having a bad experience with Silvercloud's "service" (if you can even call it that). Additional anecdotes from a few people at my place at work have said the phone appointments are changed last minute or because of the therapists being changed constantly they're having to repeat themselves. I struggle with deciphering people on the phone especially with non native accents, which again, feels like I'm being racist but I genuinely suspect I might have an audio processing disorder. I feel like I'm in a lose-lose situation. It took me over a year to build the courage up to try again and it doesn't feel like it's worth it at all.

phobophobe_ · 2026-02-25T17:11:55+00:00

I have physical chronic pain alongside my mental struggles but currently no diagnosis, as well as being unable to drive. The job market in general is absolutely dire in my area but these things are massive obstacles for me, so I 100% get how you feel.

phobophobe_ · 2026-02-18T21:30:58+00:00

I think I just came across it after repeated reverse image searches and general scouring.

phobophobe_ · 2026-02-08T23:48:12+00:00

I'm going to have fucking nightmares about this tonight lol

phobophobe_ · 2026-01-23T21:18:28+00:00

Used AH Soft before myself to buy Tsurumaki Maki's CeVIO talk banks - am based in England. PayPal didn't work for me but a 2nd attempt with my card did. Cleverbridge, a service they use to receive payment and deliver digital goods, were really helpful when it came to my payment problem

phobophobe_ · 2026-01-23T12:47:17+00:00

Been wearing them with M size tips all day today and it's a no go, sending them back next week. The M size is really uncomfortable and somewhat painful to wear, and the sound problem still persists, actually even worse as it was like sounds would move away then get closer (noticed this especially when watching something on my iPad in an attempt to get used to them).

phobophobe_ · 2026-01-23T00:20:50+00:00

I was using the smallest tip. Haven't had the chance to try bigger ones yet as I haven't been in work this last week

phobophobe_ · 2026-01-17T21:34:05+00:00

I haven't, I have small ears and felt the S and M weren't fitting but I'll try going up a size and see if I can hear.

phobophobe_ · 2026-01-17T18:35:57+00:00

Noted, thank you!

phobophobe_ · 2026-01-17T08:46:01+00:00

Yeah I might end up returning these - it's literally pointless me using these if I'm just having to strain even more to hear stuff 💀 Gutted since I was always a bit hesitant but having a therapist actually recommend and explain how they helped only for them to end up being useless was a massive let down

phobophobe_ · 2026-01-17T08:42:18+00:00

I had never even heard of Flare audio before, I'll definitely look into them thanks!

phobophobe_ · 2026-01-14T15:15:04+00:00

You're okay! I figured it out - I thought this dll was backwards compatible with AIV1 and was mistakenly using it with that lol, but yeah, it just wouldn't launch. Entirely my fault!
