@Totalanimefan: I finished my psych group on the 19th and i go back to work tomorrow. I'm so worried i wont be able to handle it but i wont know unless i go. I don't think any of my therapy thus far has really been targeted at any of my specific issues beyond handling the stress i feel on a constant basis (can you get a bad grade in therapy lol)

I'm glad you made progress dealing with your PTSD! Do you feel like you're making progress again?



I went and bought evil eye earrings - not cause im superstitious but because they feel reassuring in a weird way - while waiting on Glaze to process my newest art piece. Idk what im doing wrong exactly cause it keeps giving me error reports RIP

I've re-written my response like 23942908479238 times and keep getting distracted by other stuff


@GoblinsAndTea: youre ocs are so cute I love them!!!!
What kind of fairy? Like human sized or tiny?


@Aisukohi: When you forget something like that it honestly feels like re-discovering it again for the 1st time!
I havent joined any dnd groups before because i was so anxious about holding the group back so i totally get tht
Some ppl in the program i was in recently for mental health and i have started a discord group to make a campaign. Hopefully tht doesnt flop


@Ark: You will never catch me reading Wolf's Rain because I refuse to bawl my eyes out AGAIN over that series
I might give Kuroshitsuji another go. I never finished the manga because all the sites my teen self used had stopped updating for a while

What is .hack about?

@Totalanimefan: i hope so ^^

@GoblinsAndTea: I'm trying to give less of a shit about what other ppl think of me! I'm glad you've started to not as well <3 I gained a lot of weight the last couple of years from BED and it's been a massive blow to my self-esteem.
What do you play mostly in DnD? I've yet to play myself but i love the idea of the aasimar and tieflings.

@Ark: Oh what manga did you get? I havent read any in so long
I'm gonna go listen to more GD stuff~

There's something so frickin healing about picking back-up fun stuff when ur like being implicitly told by society (or explicitly) that you're too old for those things.

Im putting this here cause while i mention mental illness, that is NOT the main focus of what im talking about


I've found myself re-immersing myself in things that brought me a lot of joy as a preteen as i try to recover in a partial hospitalization psychiatric program because life events + my pre-existing mental illnesses got too much for my coping skills to handle the last 2 years or so. I'm on LoA from work rn which ends soon so im trying to get these things back into a daily routine of mine because i know they still make me happy, i just gotta do the thing to get the dopamine instead of wallowing in my emotions.

These things include being on this site, drawing, listening to music (G-D's Heartbreaker is so frickin nostalgic for me cause Ernya was the 1st place id ever heard of him), creating stories for myself, and more tht im brain farting. I'm also trying to get back into reading but i havent found a book series i hyper-fixate on quite like i did w the Eragon series lol



Do yall ever find yourselves doing this?
Posted in goth's art dumpzone Posted 1 year ago
@Totalanimefan: thts so reassuring to hear >//w//<
Im actually currently get more intensive therapy for depression because its gotten so bad over the years that i just didnt want to do anything. This month has been the most ive plugged in my wacom in probably 5 or so years

@Sage: thts not a bad price it sounds like
im sorry you have no energy lately. that sounds frustrating
Posted in a wild goth appears Posted 1 year ago
my brain has not wanted to cooperate with replying the last 2 days RIP

@Sage: yea tht makes sense. how much does it cost u?
IF i ever finished even a short story i would do that cause honestly id be so proud to finish SOMETHING


@Ugly Rat: theres a few people in my psych program rn who are interested in starting a dnd group. theres only 3 of us but thts a start for sure.

i feel dumb trying to learn how to play SIMS rn. i bought the medieval edition and i do not know the controls fml


@Jolly: Hello!! it has been very cozy! I've been really busy this week so i wasnt able to be as active as i wanted to be.
Thank you for the welcome <3

@Sage: so true so true. i have so many books downloaded on my phone but i always forget about them. object permanence and all that jazz. I do like the amount of pdfs i can download for free vs how much physical copies cost despite my forgetfulness

I joined a couple of discords recently but i dont really know what to say in them so i lurk when i remember them


@Ugly Rat: I want to join a dnd group! It sounds interesting and challenging which is stuff i love, i just dont know how to go about joining one
I never used AIM. Tht predates my introduction to the internet by a few years simply cause i was a book nerd when i was younger.
The internet is great for allowing yourself to expand and be social and have your boundaries respected simultaneously. Like if you dont like the vibe of a chat, you can just leave and you dont have to really explain yourself. I love it so much cause i too am extroverted online and v introverted irl.
