Cat! Glad to see you're still around. I haven't been on here in a couple months. How have you been? I dont remember exactly what I said but I do remember posting in your thread a couple months ago when I was planning on killing myself. Ended up committing myself to a psychward instead. Probably the best thing I could have done. Finally found some meds that are really helping and I think I might actually be able to do something with my life for once. As long as the meds and this mental stability I've found continues to hold, anyway. Hope you're doing well.

not that great. met with some friends yesterday to play a game, but it's just no fun to me anymore. game's devs just been changing the rules in the wrong direction. we also ordered some food and the guys got my order wrong. just a shit day all around. today i was still hung up about it. did you have a good weekend at least?

>that's okay I missed a couple days too
as long as we get back to it, it shouldn't be too bad.

>it was the same and sucked
A surefire way to anger the player is to punish them for stuff largely out of their control...
>that's actually sick
I can't think of anything else that has that level of depth for fictional bands. I think there's 26 different bands, all with their own lore and distinct (enough) sound from each other. https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/List_of_bands_in_the_Splatoon_series
I would have loved it as an autistic kid.
>that must have really sucked then
It wasn't too bad since I don't have much desire to leave the house in the first place.
>i plan to go no contact the second i leave
That's fair enough if you think it's warranted although it could bite you in the ass if you need them for anything later. Hopefully you can do that sooner than later if they're more trouble than it's worth.

>>84757311

I feel like lots of anons are getting ill. I hope I didn't pass my sickness on to any of you.

I might have to delay this until early July (on account of not wanting to get too distracted before an extremely important deadline). I hope that's not too long of a delay. But I'm more than happy to host it once I'm freed up.

true, true. i just don't like that this is how it is now. :/ anyways, i was talking about that kitchen appliance last thread and you asked which one it was. took me a bit to find it again, but it is called the suvie kitchen robot. these kind of all in one solutions seem to be the latest fad.

i see. you've got an eclectic taste. for me it's mostly soulslikes and metroidvanias with the odd roguelite in between. was really into rts and point&click adventures, but both of those are pretty dead these days.

>Open source pc port of guitar hero
do you have a proper controller for that? i was always pretty bad at those games.

>Just playing quick match bomb rn
is that like a counterstrike mode?

>Dont really like secure area or hostage :/
i also tend to hone in on one mode and never bother with anything else. friend always tried to get me into fun-modes in dota. always hated those. >:[

Checking in. I don't quite feel like myself. I'm at a crossroads in my life where I really need to get my act together: I have to find a viable career path, move out of the house, pursue my passions, find love and...I just can't. I'm paralyzed by either fear or depression. I don't know how to move on.

I wish I had my heart back. I used to be so full of passion when I was young, but slowly it's been drained from me. I'm scared I'll become a soulless husk of a man.

It's pretty neat but it looks very expensive. To be honest the usecase is probably people in my situation but I wouldn't get one if I had a full-size kitchen.

That's fair enough. I don't hold any resentment towards mine, but my definitely got less stressful after moving out, despite having more responsibilities.
If you've got any questions about the practicalities I'm happy to answer them (and I'm sure other posters will be too).

>>84765980
Sorry to hear that Okabe.
I was in a similar spot when I was a NEET for a few years and to be honest I'm not really sure what changed to get me out of it.
I remember trying to learn game development around then, so it might help to focus on a project or learning a new skill if you can find the energy.

My thoughts are: if you absolutely have to keep cutting. Never ever go deeper than that. I regularly went into the fat tissue and my arms are now deformed forever.

>>84769610
Also it goes without saying: you shouldn't cut yourself. Or intentionally harm yourself in any way. Be it physical or mental. Speak to a professional and hope they can help you.

That's great. But for it to keep you from doing it again you should try to think for yourself: why did you do it in the first place? Was it an impulse? Was it planned for a while? What function did it fill for you in the short term? In the long term? Whenever the thought comes for you the next time that you should hurt yourself, how should you respond to the thought? Or do you even have to respond to the thought or just let it slip? Thoughts are just your brain making up things in the present.
Don't reply to us here, but take a deep look within yourself. And be honest with yourself about what you think and feel. Hopefully you will come out stronger from this the next time your brain tells you dumb shit. And if you think you will do this again, talk to a professional. They are experienced in this kind of stuff and can help you. :)

I got another retail job offer today. I planned on turning it down because I have better options right now. The manager talked so fast, I never had a chance.
Someone finally pushed an my HVAC application forward.

That really sucks, but I guess I should take advantage.

how are you?

it was a good day, but im overwhelmed currently cuz of something but im okay, just gonna sleep soon :)

that's a good thing you did anon
i hope you never think of doing it again

I feel...dangerously dead inside. Like I can't bother to care about ANYTHING, I can't enjoy media, I don't care about my goals, I don't even care about other people...I don't know where this came from but it haunts me. It's been happening more and more frequently. I'm trying my best to fight it but I don't know what to do.

I'm tempted to really hurt myself if I keep feeling this way. This is no way to live life.

hello chat
bump
got an exam tomorrow, really stressed about it (and the rest of them)
ill try to talk tomorrow but i dont see it happening desu
stress is slightly too much this time around

Dont sweat it. There is an anon from northern Europe who really hopes and believes that you will make it through this. If my replies arent enough help then search for support lines in your country. We're all strong enough to make it through to the end. :)

hey everyone, had a good night again ig. was with some friends

heya Sisyphus. good luck on the exams, just try your best and don't stress too hard, you got this ^^

I'll probably call it a night soon. Take care everyone!

>>84772002
>im not nearly ready for anything like that i dont think
To be honest I don't think I was either, but as long as it's a (relatively) developed place you'll adapt soon enough.
Humans like habits so it's easy to be scared when you're faced with new stuff, but equally it's very easy to form them so you can get back to normal.
>how do you move out, like how does that work?
It's a bit different because I moved countries, but I found a place to rent and packed most of my earthly possessions into two suitcases.
When I moved to a different city (same country) for university, my family just packed everything I was bringing over into some boxes and drove there over a few hours.
>how do you go to uni and stuff?
It'll depend on where you live, but I used to cycle everywhere but now I get the subway. For you it could be a matter of getting the bus or just getting an Uber in every day.
>how do you find a place to live and rent?
It's usually a matter of looking around different listings until you find somewhere that seems nice enough. It's definitely easier if you live in the area though so you can look at listings. If it's a big move, it might be a good idea to find a shoert-term rental.

>>84772475
>I don't know where this came from but it haunts me
Usually it's not one big thing, just lots of little things that wear you down.
I wish I had some good advice, but I hope things turn around for you and things snowball from there.

>>84773283
Best of luck with your exam!

hello everyone o/

not feeling the best today, but at least its storming here. that calms me down.
>>
I want to start posting in here, but I don't really know where to start or when it is chill to start using a name and such?

Curious if cutting helps y'all mentally? Short term? Long term? What's got y'all coming back? I'm very neurotic about a lot and get caught in thought spirals beyond reason. Snaps me back afterwards, and I appreciate them as a reminder of how far I've come. Ignoring the bodily abuse and empathy I feel for my cells that didn't deserve the untimely demise, I'd say it helps me mentally far more than it harms. I'd love to quit one day and be a bit less neurotic. Until then. It's nice to meet y'all, and I hope y'all are having and or have a good night! ^^

>>84774460
Hope the storm brings you peace along with some nice task be it self-care, a hobby, etc. I'm trying to dye my tips red to go with the black and it ain't goin too well xP

>I want to start posting in here, but I don't really know where to start
well, the threaad opens daily with few questions that you can answer. kinda like a self reflect. n then u can just talk to us in here abt random stuff. thats what we do all the time!

>or when it is chill to start using a name and such
ive been active here for a week now, been lurking for a while tho. i chose a nick on my.. 2nd or 3rd day iirc. we just use it so we know whos who ofc. u dont need to have a name but if u wanna post more often it would be a good idea
>>
>>84774939

Oooo it looks really nice! I like the way it's roughly the same... Hue? Saturation? Idk color theory well enough. I digress. It's pleasant and feels subtle while retaining the expression of color!
>trying to take care of myself as best as I can :p
Seems like you've got some good success! Dying hair is such a hassle, it makes other tasks feel so simple - and yet, I struggle? xP

nooo math qwq thats what im failing rn..

>and I have not been successful curbing this shit
yeaa its hard.. i started at 12 (way too early ik) n tried to quit like twice. ended up shaking and crying after a day without nic n my old mate had to bring me a pack of cigs cuz withdrawal was killing me. but desu, i dont think i will quit soon cuz i aint got shit to lose xD

yeah that's the most impotent thing assume hehe
> habits so it's easy to be scared when you're faced with new stuff, but equally it's very easy to form them so you can get back to normal.
yea just getting into a routine and feeling a sense of normalcy i'd assume is the most important but also hardest thing by far
> place to rent and packed most of my earthly possessions into two suitcases.
that dosent sound too bad actually, sounds stressful tho
> my family just packed everything I was bringing over into some boxes and drove there over a few hours.
must have been a pretty eerie drive i'd imagine\
>used to cycle everywhere but now I get the subway.
oh that sounds nice just cycling everywhere, seems calming i'd think
> could be a matter of getting the bus or just getting an Uber in every day.
yeah, which would be fine i guess, as long as it's not too expensive i'd do anything.
> different listings until you find somewhere that seems nice enough
okay that sounds not too hard, how to you even find listings tho?

>>84774431

>nooo math qwq thats what I'm failing rn..
My success is purely from bed-rotting and watching like a shit ton of explanation videos. (Not like I do much anyways most days including interests) I kind of don't pay attention in class, and doodle. Then go home and study when I feel the surge of guilt or deadlines. My method is to learn what I'm trying to do and why, not necessarily how to do it at the beginning of any lesson plan/for homework. Do the homework, ensure it's a 100ish. Then, goof off (do nothing), and see if I remember anything come next paranoia induced spell - clean up my mistakes and misconceptions - staying up all night if I have to.

Reteaching myself how to do stuff off intuition and vibes is awful mentally, but. It works for me TuT

Though, I've been pulling all nighters so long it's starting to be impossible to retain physical or mental fortitude... May need to adjust or drop out again (I refuse to entertain that idea. Otherwise I'll have to go back to working and doing far more day to day than I do now...) maybe if I drop unconscious they'll give me an extension :3c

>having to see how stupid my classmates are when it comes to that stuff annoys me for sum reason ^^'
No, I get that. Here I am doodling my nonsense not paying any attention and one kid keeps asking questions she definitely covered and I can answer... Or very obvious / intuitive concepts... It kind of hurts physically.

>i dont think i will quit soon cuz i aint got shit to lose xD
I tentatively feel you... I try and stay optimistic and cheerful around others, but I am. Deeply disassociated from joy.
>>
>>84775205
Goodnight!!! About to go to bed, myself ^-^
Long-term being made to accept it really contextualizes a lot and makes me feel far more grounded in change, chronology, and such... Even if it kinda sucked the first time I had to truly sit with my past actions and digest them.

Getting asked "do you own a cat?" By someone snidely was a shock, but. Helped me realize I'm my biggest enemy since I really didn't give a shit xP
>>
>>84775249
>My success is purely from bed-rotting and watching like a shit ton of explanation videos.
i wish that would work for me.. but like, i alr gave up, and trying to study again just shows me that its a waste of time cuz i will fail anyways. but eh, i dont care anymore. fuckass teacher sent me a message last evening saying she wants to talk to me tmr (prolly abt my math grades) but ill try to talk myself out of that.

>Though, I've been pulling all nighters so long
same here. i barely get sleep. for me, its day 3 of no sleep now. just cuz i want some free time for myself ig

>Here I am doodling my nonsense not paying any attention
real. i started bringing my sketchbook cuz class sucks ass.

>one kid keeps asking questions she definitely covered and I can answer
got someone like that in my class asw. he always goes like "if i understood this correctly.." and then starts to repeat everything the teacher said for the period. and his voice. gosh i could cry

>i dont want to fuck with my hair too much
desu, styling is more than enough anyways. dying is cool n all, yes, but it takes a shit ton of time, taking care of it is tough as well and it costs a lot if u dont do it urself

been a while since ive been on this board. i kinda missed being able to talk freely about such things. i always feel guilty about talking about cutting with those close to me

im three weeks clean, going on four, but i miss it a low. how do you guys handle that feeling? im so tired of being lectured that it doesnt fix anything. i know it doesnt. i miss the comfort it gave me in the moment. how can i replace that?

slept a bit
feel kind of guilty for not studying, fuck me
>>84778009
>i did it once n fucked up. then i had nasty yellow hair
how so?
they just did two random spots i agreed to for fun and i had a bit of highlights, came out rather nicely too
the colour is the natural one i suppose so
>styling is more than enough anyways
yeah
my style is "whatever i woke up like"
i like that the back of my hair kinda of curls in random directions so i just leave it be, theyre probably the part id dye or bleach
would probably be a one time thing, dying i mean

>>84778053

>>84779176

whatever will help you
im easily distracted so i try to focus on random things with the most common and effective being doomscrolling
though lately i find it way too boring to help very much
like a week ago i was really close to cutting which was when i started posting here again i think but it just so happened that i got in a deep conversation with a friend and focused on it enough to forget about cutting
this works for me
are you taking lessons for your license or are you thinking of getting one?

Mirrors my question, but generally I'd say it was a last resort and we're still here. Then the barrier was dropped so it becomes less shameful.

>>84779165
>I always feel guilty
Ditto. Sometimes... Depends on the person.
>How do you guys handle that feeling
I'm a very apathetic ADHD where nothing grabs attention at all. So I just forget it exists til I'm on the edge or can't break a cycle. I only occasionally yearn for it. To which, feels pointless when I'm *good enough* I don't need to. Then again I'm super lazy so it's an excuse not to do the said task.

Here's Blueberry, the love of my life, firre of my loins. However that book I shouldn't have read in middle school went X_X jokes aside their size and weight are very calming and is one of my best self-harm reduction tools.

I already used to lay face down in the dark for hours doing nothing. Not even on my phone. Just trying to. Exist. Blueberry makes it 100x better, as even a partner unfortunately is still inherent observation, so sometimes it makes me worse.

true, i always have good time with those. though i have to say, i wasn't that into some of the sequels. i feel blasphemous 2 and silksong change to many things just to change them. at least i finished blaphemous 2.

>played a shit ton of RTS during homeschooling
it was the defining genre of my childhood. warcraft, starcraft, aoe, c&c. all the good stuff. didn't know you can homeschool in germany, though. how was it?

>company of heroes 2
i played one of those games. probably the first one. they just announced a remaster of that game.

>i play tournaments. same as for smash bros melee
that's impressive. i always wanted to be into fighting games, but turns out i just liked a few, very specific games and couldn't just hop from game to game. how are you doing in those tournaments?

>but didnt play it yet
don't. the game is fun, but it's the community in those that kills any enjoyment. i've dropped mobas a long time ago and i can't say it was the wrong decision.

there's a reason it's more popular than dota.

it does lot of things you usually need some special equipment for, which can be nice, i suppose. you're right, though. i can't see myself buying one, either.

totally get that. same for me sadly. back when i was still hooked on alc and drank myself to sleep, the shork gave made it feel like its someone real. made me feel worse but better at the same time, especially cuz i am helal touch starved.

hi yuanon!!

>warcraft, starcraft, aoe, c&c
played all of them when i was a lil kid. my dad gave me his aoe2 and c&c red alert 2 disc back then. cracked the rest :p

>they just announced a remaster of that game.
WHAT. omg i gotta buy it. another reason to skip school for a week or two

>i always wanted to be into fighting games
theyre hard, especially competitive scenes. smash melee is the worst by far cuz it relies on frame perfect inputs most of the time. took me around 5-6 years to master the moveset and i still improve.

>how are you doing in those tournaments?
doin actually pretty good! i play zero techskill so the opponents are always confused cuz nobody does that in tournaments xD

>there's a reason it's more popular than dota.
at least dota players still try to win the match.. if u do one wrong move in league, theyre gonna flame you and afk / troll for the rest of the round..

Amazing news to hear you're not anymore ^-^ I've had people close to me who did that stuff and it sounds cyclical...

I hope touch and such is healing. I bet it'll do wonders. I feel like I can never get enough and am still quite icky internally.
>the ez flash omega is just way too expensive..
I used a GBxCart and mother 3 bootlegs from China. Was about $50 in total and I've got like 10 custom roms? Not sure the cost now. Especially with trade relations. I stay ignorant nowadays.

hey yvki! (^-^)

>played all of them when i was a lil kid. my dad gave me his aoe2 and c&c red alert 2 disc back then.
good introduction to gaming. i still had to bother with floppy disks in the beginning...

>cracked the rest :p
fair. i want to say i did the same, but i don't think i pirated many games. if i didn't the only reason was that it was to lazy to do it. ^^'

>WHAT. omg i gotta buy it. another reason to skip school for a week or two
still pre-alpha, though. maybe you can plan a vacation around it the year it comes out.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tnVoeTSC4rU&pp=ygUkY29tcGFueSBvZiBoZXJvZXMgZGVmaW5pdGl2ZSBlZGl0aW9u

>theyre hard
that's not even it. all the popular ones just aren't fun for me. i don't get any enjoyment out of learning or executing the combos. i have more fun with games that focus less combos and more on positioning. maybe i'll try the new virtua fighter. always had a good time with 4.

>smash melee is the worst by far cuz it relies on frame perfect inputs
boggles the mind how someone at nintendo thought they should create a fighting game like that, but i suppose the insanely dedicated fanbase proved them right.

>took me around 5-6 years to master the moveset and i still improve.
case in point. you don't spend that much amount of time on something you don't like. but man, that's incredible. is there some coverage of your matches?

>i play zero techskill so the opponents are always confused cuz nobody does that in tournaments xD
valid strategy to do thing that flow below the current meta. won a lot of pvp-matches in dark souls with the flamberge. strictly worse than the claymore, but the different moveset just threw people off.

>if u do one wrong move in league, theyre gonna flame you and afk / troll for the rest of the round..
i had the same experience in dota, but i played dota before league was even a thing, so maybe those people just moved to league eventually and left dota to better players.

I feel nothing anymore from excess heroin usage.
>Any plans for today?
Shitposting until I have to pick up my wife.
>When was the last time you hurt yourself?
13 years ago.
>Why did you hurt yourself?
I got turned on by a random poster on /b/ posting borderline child pornography and had to punish myself for even feeling that way because nobody else would.
>Is there anything bothering you right now?
I cut myself so deep the scars haven't faded all these years later. Even tattooing over them didn't help. There is no covering my shame.

i wrote a reply last night but forgot to send it lol

>>84775220
thanks goodnight to yourself hope you had a good one

>>84775285
hope you slept well
yeah makes me think about it a lot more too and grounds me in reality and sucks thinking about stuff but will happen and makes me feel better about stuff even if only temporary.

yea some people really can be snarky sometimes, i used to give way to much of a shit to people but i tried to stop caring

>>84776736
sorry about that, exams are hell and cause wayy to much fucking stress

i did, felt free for once, but also trapped lol. how are you doing?

how does that work?

as good a plan as any other. what is she up to?

that's a long time ago. well done, dude.

>had to punish myself for even feeling that way because nobody else would.
well, you went to /b/. that's usually punishment enough. you must have been in a weird headspace back then.

>I cut myself so deep the scars haven't faded all these years later. Even tattooing over them didn't help.
you must have gone pretty hard on yourself there. sorry to here it didn't work. what kind ot tattoo did you get?

>There is no covering my shame.
i'd argue most of us have shitty thoughts and impulses that don't mix well with the perfect version of ourselves we'd like to be. we need to be aware of our faults so we can keep them in check.

hi rem! :D

>hru yuanon?
i'm good. don't feel as stressed as i usually do, just a lot calmer for some reason. gator and i did some exercises. those probably helped. now i'm just lying in bed. watching stuff, replying to people. the usual. how have you been?

alright. maybe have a glas of water here and there and turn down the volume little bit. for you ears sake. (^-^;)

>>84782360
>how does that work?
Fries your brain receptors to the happy chemicals due to the excess and trains your brain not to make naturally occurring chemicals, also destroys white matter from overuse. Xanax also during this time did me no favors. I have not felt anxiety in several years, however. So maybe there's a positive.
>as good a plan as any other. what is she up to?
Wife's a suit. Big boy corporate job. I take care of our dogs and stay at home raking in VA benefits.
>well, you went to /b/. that's usually punishment enough. you must have been in a weird headspace back then.
My service to my country warped my perception of reality and sent me on some very dark paths.
>you must have gone pretty hard on yourself there. sorry to here it didn't work. what kind ot tattoo did you get?
I have Polynesian artwork all over me.

thanks, it's been alright. got new equipment at work yesterday. it improves on a lot of things, but i have to admit that relearning all the motions i got accustomed to over the years is harder than i had imagined. other than work, just did some bodyweight exercises. still having some slight back issues, so i'll try to do some lighter stuff for now. sorry about your headache, though. hope everything else is going well.

>>84782597
>Fries your brain receptors
is that permanent? i heard the brain can somewhat recover, but it can take quite some time.

>I have not felt anxiety in several years, however. So maybe there's a positive.
some people would probably prefer to be that way, that's for sure.

>Wife's a suit. Big boy corporate job.
must be doing a good job, then. hope it's nothing too stressful.

>I take care of our dogs and stay at home raking in VA benefits.
taking care of animals and a home is quite demanding. i can't deal with the responsibility of a pet right now.

>My service to my country warped my perception of reality and sent me on some very dark paths.
sorry to hear, but not a rare occurance in military service, it seems. how did it happen?

>I have Polynesian artwork all over me.
looks pretty cool from what i can see. did someone recommend it to you?

hey luxr43! nice pic and weocome to the thread! :D are you still up there?
>>
>>84782864
Yea... I hadn't really gotten out of bed or stayed on my feet longer than 2 minutes after getting home after class.

After my bid for connection failed, given my extraordinarily bad state of mind, I kinda - well. You get the idea. Feel kinda icky, I left without taking the laundry out of the washer. Seems we're gunna clean the bedroom when I get home to make up for it. I'm glad I can make up for it and they're not mad, just confused, but... Yeah...

Without a word, half in my own body, I ended up here. Now that I'm back I feel like I can't move again. It's pretty cool I suppose. I miss my vape (in the car). I also got myself a Dr pepper fountain drink and my screamo artist I like CDs arrived. Hope to get those signed as well one day...

I'm simultaneously feeling motivated with work but also really off. My sleep has gotten very out of whack (and I'm getting quite bad headaches as a result) but it's showing signs of fixing itself.
In vidya news, I'm glad the Xenoblade games are getting Switch 2 patches. It's the main reason I got one, so I consider myself personally responsible for the announcement.
Sorry if I missed anyone, I'm a bit frazzled.

>>84775205
>i'd assume is the most important but also hardest thing by far
It wasn't too difficult for me. I was more or less comfortable a couple of weeks in. If you're not moving countries it'd probably happen even sooner.
>sounds stressful tho
Yeah. Part of what got me through it was just not thinking about it. The move kind of snuck up on me. Had I not done that I'd probably have been an anxious mess.
>must have been a pretty eerie drive i'd imagine
We went on some nice country roads so it wasn't too bad.
>oh that sounds nice just cycling everywhere
It was and I miss it a lot. I felt really free to just go anywhere.
>as long as it's not too expensive i'd do anything
Uber is pretty expensive, but to be honest so is driving...
>how to you even find listings tho
There are websites that aggregate most of them. That's what I used, at least.

>>84781605
>i think it's starts around 150 dollars
That's less than I thought. I think they try to rope you into buying meal kits from them but it seems like you can also just freestyle it.
Maybe when I'm a millionaire I'll get one.
>>
>>84782791
>is that permanent? i heard the brain can somewhat recover, but it can take quite some time.
It takes a very long time in this scenario, apparently. Waiting for the day honestly.
>must be doing a good job, then. hope it's nothing too stressful.
She reasons that it's probably easier than what I used to do. She ultimately enjoys the stress.
>taking care of animals and a home is quite demanding. i can't deal with the responsibility of a pet right now.
Probably a benefit of my brain atm is that it doesn't faze me at all. Got 3 dogs and a decent size home. VA hooked us up with a good mortgage.
>sorry to hear, but not a rare occurance in military service, it seems. how did it happen?
I joined the marines and served for an extended time in Afghanistan and Iraq.
>looks pretty cool from what i can see. did someone recommend it to you?
My father, I am Polynesian, it's a cultural thing. Often, it's a rite of passage for men as they become adults as a mark of rank and family lineage. I received mine when I came back from my service and assumed being the head of my family.

glad to hear that firstly :>
>just a lot calmer for some reason
happens to me sometimes
are you enjoying being calm currently though?

>replying
replying in bed overwhelms me lol
i use my phone a lot of times to reply but the fact that i need to use the phone's keyboard and small screen to reply triggers me somehow
not used to it

idk there isn't a single word for that in my mind currently but mostly i'm not feeling best
also gonna sleep soon
when will you sleep?

you?

>did something happen or just bottled-up feelings went wrong?
probably a mix of both, just stuff that upsets me that i did in the past, but most of all stuff I saw back then and that those still exist today, it pisses me off how no progress ever gets made to solving anything at fucking all to make people a bit better in life. strange thing to rant about but it just confuses me.
>good luck!
thanks dude, i'll probably need it.

class can be tiring. good thing you were able to motivate yourself to get up and out again. i always need some sort of excuse for that.

>After my bid for connection failed, given my extraordinarily bad state of mind, I kinda - well. You get the idea.
not completely, i have to admit. i just skipped through the thread, so i'm nit completely clued in. what happened?

>Without a word, half in my own body, I ended up here. Now that I'm back I feel like I can't move again.
i feel like bad thoughts, habits and behaviors can be tied to a place, so it makes sense to me.

>I also got myself a Dr pepper fountain drink and my screamo artist I like CDs arrived
sounds like a nice way to spend the evening. :>

>>84782943
>i remember talking to you in the past.
hope i left a good impression back then. (^-^)

>hope youve been well!
i don't think anything really changed. work can be rough and i didn't have the energy to participate in the thread much lately, but that's about it. what about you?

>>84783014
>it's showing signs of fixing itself.
it seems to do that. i don't think i've ever been able to force a change.

>I'm glad the Xenoblade games are getting Switch 2 patches
glad you got what you wished for. now let's hope it won't be a monkey's paw situation. fingers crossed.

>I think they try to rope you into buying meal kits from them but it seems like you can also just freestyle it.
that's probably the trick. reminds me of the 400 dollar juicer that you needed to buy these weird fruit packs for. turns out you could just squeeze the bags with your hands and got the same amount of juice, no appliance needed... i think they actually took the things back and gave a refund.

>Maybe when I'm a millionaire I'll get one.
i'd just get a chef at that point. :p

>>84782490

Withdrawal is hard. Stay strong. Nobody can fight your battles for you, and every step you take towards its resolution creates a better you.

i don't think i'll ever get the corporate types, but it's good you two understand each other on that level.

>Probably a benefit of my brain atm is that it doesn't faze me at all. Got 3 dogs and a decent size home.
it probably wouldn't even if you were in more of a normal state. you seem like a guy who knows how to care for his dogs.

>I joined the marines and served for an extended time in Afghanistan and Iraq.
can't even begin to comprehend how it must have been.

>it's a cultural thing
ah, so there's a bit more meaning behind it. lot's of people just go "looks cool" and get stuff like that done. are there tattoo artist that specialize in those? and how do you choose the forms and patterns?

>>84783075
>are you enjoying being calm currently though?
yeah, but i need to catch some sleep. it's getting really late.

>not used to it
i actually only had phone and a ps4 when i started posting, so not much of a choice here, but i got used to it. no reason to force yourself if you don't like it, though.

>gonna sleep soon when will you sleep?
i'm going to bed now, too. good night and sleep tight. hope you feel better when you get up.

good night, everyone.

>>84783266
>are there tattoo artist that specialize in those? and how do you choose the forms and patterns?
I travelled back to Polynesia and received them from a family member who carries on our tradition. It's meaning will be passed down to my children, and to whomever assumes head of my family next.
Thanks for the conversation, friend, it is time for me to go too. I hope you sleep well.

Hiya, yes. I'm doing alright-ish. Thank you for the warm welcome. Y'all are nice here. This board feels comfortable. I like not feeling like I'm a burden for expressing and sharing thoughts, or creating like. Social... Stuff. Friends like to blame my boyfriend a lot for not taking care of me, but they really underestimate how insufferable I can be.
>just tryna stay sane for now
Hehe felt. I don't feel nice reading other's conversations, so. Feel free to share in return :3
>>84783136
>i just skipped through the thread, so i'm nit completely clued in. what happened?
Oh. Yeah. I can't really get myself to read anything without (you) in it.
Also, uh. I didn't really talk about this anyhow. I was being vague about current events. Im in one of those void-ruts where your physical senses also feel engulfed. I kinda tried to ask to watch TV or something simple with my partner since I've been feeling so bad and started to cry a little uncontrollably, but stifled after they said if they feel like it and can't really provide me much. So my pants' insides are stained and I drove to my favorite outlook and went on a walk to my favorite tree. Too many people around to feel comfortable sitting and chilling. For the better I suppose.
>Now that I'm back
Meant like. I'm back in my body. I finally got home just now. Sitting in my car rn.
>Sounds like a nice way of spending the evening
My cd system isn't set up yet, moving has been a slow process... Even if it was. Hhhh...

Think I'm gonna go gulp down the remaining red wine that's technically not mine and try to go clean like I said I would to make up for making them finish the laundry. I'll buy them another bottle if need be, there's a blood donation for 70 in 2 days.

I know and that's why I wanna quit, but it's hard man. some days you just wonder why you'd even quit. luckily just watching youtube did some good
>it is surprising to find warmth on this site.
it is quite strange, but it's just how open ended it can be. like you can be a dick to people, but you can also be nice. both bring you nothing in the end, but it's whatever you prefer.

>Feel free to share in return :3
nah it's fine lol, i don't either usually. doing a bit better now, i think. had to turn off my youtube tho, it kept recommending me some pretty fucked up things, or well not the videos but the topics being discussed yk
