Yay! What a trip! I went to Washington D.C once for a school field trip in art class to visit the National Gallery, and I had a great time, but it was limited to what we could see in the museum in those hours and then back to bus, we couldn't tour the whole capitol. Seeing the White House sounds incredible! I am happy that you are going to make a dream come true soon and see this part of history. What a wonderful present from your uncle. Ford's theater also sounds monumental, though sad as well. I remember once a video that I think you showed me of an elderly man whose family was in the theater that night of the asassination that was very moving.

That's so true. Honestly I still feel that way at my age, it's crazy how fast time passes, feels like yesterday I was in high school but at the same time also feels like forever because so much has changed/happened. I try not to think about it, it's really depressing honestly haha... :(

The Wii U was okay for me but I barely got games on it! I was playing my DS/3DS more at the time, plus I didn't have a TV in my room to play the Wii U properly so that was probably a major factor lol. My husband went to the release event in Australia to get his so he has fond memories also ^^

And yes we'll be in NY for a bit! Going to be in Idaho, NJ, NYC, and then Boston.. busy busy. Going to be the most I've ever flown in one session. 7 total flights. aaaahhh but thank you <3

Glad you're feeling better now! <3

Honestly I still feel like a kid. Just that I have more responsibilities now. I guess a lot of adults feel like this and now I can see what it's like too, meanwhile my mom is 60 now and she told me she still feels like it was yesterday when she was young and that makes me so sad. I'm glad I at least look young enough lol.

and thank you! I like the colors too. It's simple but all I need really, used to have a picture but took it off since it was fanart and got used to it being this way. Orange is one of my favorite colors.

And oo nice @ birthday!! I've never been either. That sounds fun. We'll be going to Boston on August 12-16, for the first time for me, looking forward to it ^^ Let me know how your trips go later!

Oop I'm sorry! That sucks royally. Stomach pain is one of the worst, especially when it comes with nausea etc. One of the worst things for me is feeling like I have to throw up, I have a phobia of vomiting so even thinking about feeling like that is unpleasant aha. Glad you feel better. ;_;

lol I'm the opposite! I'm the oldest, my brother is 15 years younger than me. It feels odd having such a big age gap sometimes honestly, since we're at such different points in our lives.

Feez that's a lot of pages. I think you're the person I've talked to most over profiles out of everyone else and that's saying a lot.

I'm hoping to be less busy and able to reply faster now <3 Though I've got travel to the US lined up in late July and early August... tiringgg

I tried going up to 10 recently but decided to go back down again, seems like I get a little more headaches with 10 and I'm still not sure it makes much of a difference. It's been incredible regardless though, I'll never be as thankful as I am now for having more energy/desire to do things. ^^

Honestly, you did well. You're generally very friendly, patient, and understanding of others, which are all great qualities and super appreciated here. I've been a little bit busier lately but happy to get involved with the remade thread. Happy you posted it in the end :D

awww yeah I understand the loneliness. I really enjoy my own solo company so I feel like I miss my family less than most, but it does get a little hard being apart sometimes, especially when thinking about family/parents getting older if you're far away. Quite frankly your family is lucky to have such a nice person with them. Hope you've been ok lately <3

Will respond soon, been posting but busy with things still, oof. I'll respond to the thread! Yay <3

I was watching over that discussion as it happened, it's a shame the thread had to be locked because of one hostile member... But at least the good news is, it's likely to be just as successful when it's renewed. I think it combines ease of posting and member engagement very well! How do you feel about starting a Pokémon version of that game in Pokémon Trivia?

Speaking of Pokémon Trivia, though it's hard to put into sufficient words, I'm really, truly grateful for your letter, especially coming from yourself, since you've always struck me as a wise, insightful person. And reading a message like that from someone observant and insightful means a lot! I was travelling at the time on study tour, so I sadly didn't get the chance to write any Luvdiscs this February, but it really warmed my heart to sign in and find a message like that. So thank you!

I'm glad my doctor said lexapro is easier to taper off of than other medication, so when I'm ready to do that I hopefully won't have a massively hard time. But for now it feels so much better being on it than not, I feel like I've almsot never had random anxiety for no reason during the day anymore since I started taking it, it's so much more manageable. @_@

Awww, really don't want you to feel too bad over it. It can always be remade with the same topic whenever you're ready, and I'm sure people will post. But I understand having your thread closed isn't pleasant - heck I'm on staff and I've had a few threads closed because I didn't realize a similar one already existed lol. Happens to a lot of people at some point! It'll be okay!

and ooo nice \o/ I don't really like having guests over generally since I dislike crowds but hopefully you're okay with it haha. Planning on asking family for any particular gifts? ^^

It's my first time yeah, and I hope it works out too. It seems like the kind of thing where you may need to try out multiple different psychs before you find one you click with and my doctor mentioned this too, so hopefully I find one I work well with quickly ^^

And I'm more than happy to participate in your new thread if you chose to make one to help it get off its feet. \o/ Forum games are always fund to get involved in and I'm sure I'd enjoy getting involved. Hope you don't worry too much about that, and if you do decide to get another going let me know, you can expect to see me there <3

And yes I have!! It's good. Chris Pratt wasn't too bad. It sold ridiculously well too, I enjoyed all the references. Have you seen it yet or do you want to? (also I still need to get my mom something aaaa I asked her what she wanted but she hasn't replied back yet lol)

also thank you for the birthday wishes!!

It's good! I went back to my doctor on Wednesday and asked for more refills which she was happy to give so I'm relieved I have this now. It really does make such a difference after getting anxious/stressed so easily. And yeah it's an Australia thing, need to call the psychologist office here and get myself put on the list ahhh

And I'm sorry. :( I'll look into that and see what they say! I didn't actively participate in the one I think you're talking about, I tend to hope up in the what word does the above make you think of? one since it's so fun and easy for me haha

I didn't 100% it nope but I did purify everything… it's crazy how much better purification is in this game. So so much less stressful @_@

I decided to go to 10 for a few days, it seemed to make it even better, but then dropped back down to 5 before I got too used to the 10. It seems like 5 is sufficient most times, I'm scared of doing 10 right now honestly, since I worry that'll make it even harder to taper off later. X_X Going in to doctor to make my mental health care plan on the 5th, once that's done I'll be put on the waitlist to get my 10 (I think) free yearly psychologist sessions.. really hope this helps

I've been okay! Don't worry at all about slow responses, when you can reply is more than enough <3 I just finished XD this weekend. Lots of fun and purifying was SO much easier and mostly hassle-free.

I'm so sorry. That would definitely be a scarring event and I know how scary it could be. It's completely understandable to feel how you do after something like this x_x;

Not much restlessness for me fortunately, I don't think I have many side effects. I developed a bit more of hypnic jerks related to my jaw about a month before starting the pills though that I was hoping they'd help with, it's better but not perfect. Things like my jaw jerking and closing shut as I'm trying to sleep. It's a similar kind of behavior to things like your leg twitching, and it's tedious when I can't control it lol. Luckily my teeth don't seem to be affected by it at all since I don't grind/clench or anything. 3:00 is pretty early to be awake but it can happen, especially if you fell asleep early! Hope you managed to get to bed in the end <3

Gen 5 is so good. I'm very happy you got to play it. Has such a special place in my heart ~ The E4 was a bit difficult for me back then too I think. But man was the music good!!

Happy belated easter! ^^ And no worries at all, this is completely understandable and makes perfect sense, I wouldn't talk much about it publicly either.

I have yeah, started around late February. Had the chance years ago but like you I was too nervous about it.. and my mom wasn't thrilled about the idea of taking it either lol. But I'm glad I started, my biggest side effects were being sleepy/tired for the first few days but otherwise it was very minor. It's been very helpful too. I feel a lot better most days and am not constantly stuck with my thoughts.

and yes! I can't wait for Stadium 2 either ;__; These games are really good and I was addicted as a kid, it's great to have them on the Switch. Now we really need Colosseum and XD... come on TPCi......

Wishing you a belated Happy Easter old friend. I hope it has been a wonderful weekend with the love of your family. Sending you an Easter basket!



Oh look, the Cyndaquil egg hatched!

I'm sorry. T_T My dad also drinks a lot and it has caused problems many times, I try not to think about it.. the only way was to remove myself from the situation but I know that's not realistic for some people.

Yeah xanax is a very bad medicine to be on longterm, I've read stories of people taking it 30+ years and developing dementia later. Lexapro my doctor said is one of the better ones to take and easier to taper off than most, it's what she usually prescribes when she needs to, so I'm hopeful.

I do feel mostly better now yes, thank you ^^ aaaand yes fall is here now, still warm though.. I can't wait for winter ughhh please give me clouds and rain!!

Thank you <3 The trip was really good and I feel like I came back with a different perspective on life..? Not really sure why, maybe it's because I experienced a very different country for the first time and started to appreciate the positives I had here more. Japan is lovely but the homes/apartments are cramped into small spaces a lot of the time and some places are so crowded... I'm appreciative over having more space in Aus lol. Though sadly a week or so before the trip my anxiety kicked me and I just said I couldn't do it anymore & asked for Lexapro from my doctor. Still on a smaller 5mg dose a month later, but it definitely seems to be helping.

I'm back but as soon as I got back I got sick. Throat is sore and it's getting worse, which sucks because I have a dental appointment for a crown saturday. If the throat doesn't mostly go away by Thursday I'll have to reschedule which probably means an extra 1-2 month wait. oh well what can you do ;_;

welcome back zeo!!<33

Hi Zeo!

It's so wonderful to see you!!! I'm really sorry I haven't replied for a while but I was unwell and I had to take a break with no warning even to myself. It's nice to be back!
