Oh I can relate to the last one and it’s my go-to answer whenever therapists ask about intrusive thoughts of self harm or such. I don’t have any real tangible thoughts down those lines but I find myself often kinda sat in a cloud of not really enjoying existing, or seeing the point in it. Waking up and wishing you hadn’t but also not having any real desire or want to do anything about it.
Fun stuff :femme: |
The current state of the world terrifies me. The world has just gone insane. I thought last year was bad. 2022 is shaping to be a nightmare with no happy way out, with all that is happening around the world -- I feel like humanity is peddling backwards into the worst of our recent history as fast as possible. I'm just constantly shaking my head in disbelief and questioning the future I dreamed of. Sometimes I feel like I've lost all faith in society making a positive change. And this decade is a critical point for making change. That's even scarier. Especially with threats of war/fear mongering...
I try to hold onto hope, because I know good things are happening out there, but when you never, ever see them, when all you ever hear about is sheer disaster and tragedy and greed and psychopathy, hope is very easily forgotten. Still. I have to keep reminding myself to take each day as it comes and enjoy the present without drowning myself in worry. I find that stepping out into nature helps... especially hidden little gems. Everything is silent and peaceful and life goes on around you. These moments are so precious. I suppose a huge part of my anxiety is being in a long-distance relationship, where world events can keep us apart for years longer, potentially (as the pandemic has done--we were going to meet up in June 2020...). So I keep desperately wishing he could come here to Australia. :( |
I’m.. not well.
Learned of yet another person who I introduced into the drug culture has died of “addiction related reasons”. Even worse, I just discovered that one of the people I already knew had passed (around 2020) had a son. There is now a fatherless child in this world, and I contributed to the reason he has to live with that trauma. I just haven’t felt right since. All of my instincts say, “this is all your fault,” but at the same time my own self loathing doesn’t allow me to pretend I’m important enough to have played any significant role in the lives of these people. Still, somewhere in there is a middle ground that represent the truth, and that inescapable fact is.. agony. |
Money is a trigger for me rn. Having the economic insecurity that I do makes me experience a lot of worry and tension. I have student loan debt, medical bills and a disabled dependent mother to carry the cost of living for, besides all the usual utility bills. I'm really feeling the price of inflation as well when I go to the store and try to buy groceries and other necessities. Everything has gone up, except wages. The money I earn is in fact less this month than I needed because my hours were reduced.
Some extra expense is also always coming up, the roof needs to be fixed this month, dental work next month, last month my dog had to have labwork done and surgery. What little money I try to save is constantly decimated. I do things on the side to make ends meet like customise dolls, consign some of my clothes, sell old books, but things are still bad right now and I'm getting overwhelmed. I felt scared and miserable looking at my bank account last night. I want to scream from frustration and anxiety. In the past my dad has helped me with money, but he has problems of his own atm with legal battles and lots of taxes he owes, so I'm on my own until I get paid at the end of the month. May is also one of those terrible times of year for me like the Christmas season because it exerts so much pressure to go out and buy gifts, graduations presents, Mothers day and birthdays-- every other woman in my family would be born during this time of year. The strain of shopping for presents pretty much every week, even small things like 20 dollars worth, is accumulating. I'm dreading invitations to activities like going to the movies or dinner because it will cost me an arm and a leg, yet I don't want to not celebrate with loved ones on a special day. I'm stuck in lose-lose siuations, and things that should be happy occasions become sources of worry, irritation and guilt, and I don't like having to preoccupy myself with small petty things like this, it's not who I am. |
I kinda know how you feel Sam, financial insecurity is something that has been eating at me for years, and has only gotten worse in recent months.
I've never made much money in my life (I think the most I've every made in a single year is like $12,000, which is practically nothing), my income has never been a stable one, and attempts at getting a job that pays a decent, stable income have not gone well. And it was one thing when I still lived with my parents, but now that I don't anymore, the pressure has increased like 10-fold. There's all these new expenses that I have to pay and the only reason I can live in this apartment in the first place is because I'm sharing it with my sisters so we're splitting the bills. But then there's the inflation, and how gas prices are the highest they've been in years for no good reason. Like, I'm legit worried that someday I'm just gonna die a miserable death starving to death in the streets or something. And besides the fear, anxiety, and worthlessness this makes me feel, I also sometimes get a bit pissed off thinking about we live in one of the wealthiest countries the world has ever seen, yet millions of people seriously have to worry about if they can afford the most absolute bare minimum basic necessities like food/water/shelter. And that's hardly the only problem that is or could be affecting (the mental health of) you or me or anyone else on this fucking planet |
@Sam and Nah:
I'm so sorry to hear. It's already hard enough having to deal with all these crisis as is. You living in a country that is so utterly broken that you feel like you're trapped in hell just breaks my heart. I do hope you two find something good happening to you that can lift your spirits at least a little bit. :( |

https://i.postimg.cc/brsq5t8V/reshiram-and-zekrom-hugging-by-scub4-da51usi-fullview-1.png I'm so sorry to hear about your worsening financial straits, the anxiety it's bringing you and toll on your self-esteem. I think to be afraid is reasonable and basic survival instincts, because these are situations where we're not really safe, if hunger or homelessness seems like something that it could potentially come to. I have struggled with feelings like I'm nothing too, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that with a media and society constantly communicating that our buying power is what counts. Our worth isn't in our monetary value though, and not having money isn't something to be ashamed of, it's the system that's the shame because It shouldn't be this hard in a world superpower for everyday people like us to try to carve out an existence with some dignity. You have every right to be angry about how corrupt the structure, and it's good to remember how many of us are going through similar things because it puts into perspective the kind of world we have, so that we're not so hard on ourselves because what's wrong is bigger than just us. I appreciate you telling me some of what you've been going through, and having the chance to relate to eachother and reach out here. Though things are difficult, they can improve and I'm glad that you and your sisters have eachother at least, and I'm hoping that things start looking up for you in the near future. <3 Quote:
https://i.postimg.cc/635B8b3X/tumblr-35142649ab9742b5f9a7fbbc83a5d4b0-67adfbf4-1280.jpg I feel more clear-headed now. Having uncorked a little of what I've been bottling up this month. The problems are still there, but there are other things in life that I can focus on and enjoy like you mentioned, even in times of hardships. Both of you lift my spirits. <3 |
Sometimes just the smallest things can remind me of the sad reality that is my eternal entrapment in loneliness and solitude. I can appreciate other people making new friends and sometimes even more. At the same time it also hits me like a hammer.

It’s been a long time since I posted here, so I figured I’d make an update.
I moved to a new city and started college. I’ve had to drop all of my classes twice because I still haven’t adapted to the workload. As a result I probably won’t graduate until I’m at least 24. I’m a Japanese language major, which means I have to study it constantly, even when I’m not taking classes. A part of me wants to quit, but I feel like I’m too deep into this path to just give up. I really want to become an embassy employee and translator, so I don’t have much of a choice. Living in the city has been fun. It has a lot of problems, but it still feels like home. Although that might be because it’s within an hour of my hometown. Getting back into reading books after a two year break has made a massive difference in my mental health. The same could be said for my daily walks. I started doing them as a New Years resolution. Not only does it keep me in shape, but it also clears my head. I’m also taking antipsychotics with my antidepressants. Thanks to them I can go in public or think about my past without having heart palpitations. They also seem to fix my overly sensitive hearing. Slight noises don’t make me jump anymore. I still struggle with ruminating about the people who have hurt me. It’s a deep trauma that will take years to mend. Sometimes when I have conversations with people online I get panic attacks if they say something similar to my ex or high school bullies. It doesn’t happen as often as it used to, but it can be quite debilitating. Thankfully my medication keeps my body under control. Despite everything I think my life is going in the right direction. I just need time to adjust to adult responsibilities and process what happened in my adolescence. |

On the fortunate side I have a good relationship with my siblings. They don't mind when I send 10 random texts in a row, and almost always respond within a few days. |
It's definitely good when you have a good relationship with at least some of your family members. I can't actually even relate to that, though. ^^"
I don't really talk that often to my sister (been a couple months already, she's mostly living her own life with her friends and friend) and the only reason why I write a message to my mother once a week is because she demands it. My relationship to my family is actually so bad that I still have problems understanding why others would mourn over losing a relative whom they were close to. Like, other then reminding myself that others do indeed feel something positive (or negative when something negative happens) when they think about that person to a point where they have an emotional response, there is just no understanding on my part. It's easy for others to see me as very cold, when I react to their loss, sometimes. ^^" On very rare occasions I may even think to myself "good riddance", especially when it reminds me of past trauma... All in all: I'm always trying to rationalize why me dying young is good for everyone. Because it means one f-ed uo person less in the world. xD |

But hey, your always welcomed here on Pokecommunity. Might not be much coming from me as I'm not exactly the most loud or popular person, but from what I can tell from frequenting similar sections together, you seem pretty well received. I hope things will look up for you. |
@Dawn
Your problems and feelings are valid no matter what others may think or say. Ngl. I can see a lot of things in what you said that also are very similar to my own experiences (of my self). But as I struggle with these things myself I don't have an answer to any of that. ^^" There's like one thing that heavily contributes to the whole misery, at least from my own observations of my self: something that seems like an easy solution to a lot of my problems ends up failing (often even before it could start). Not because it doesn't work. But because part of my subconscious doesn't want it to work; not necessarily out of fear. But rather because of this desperate need to prove people wrong. Just to prove people that I am in fact a miserable, doomed, train wreck. I sincerely hope you'll find a way out of that. You deserve better and it doesn't matter if some people say otherwise. It doesn't even matter if your inner self says otherwise! |
Well...thank you for your response. I am grateful, because it's more acknowledgement than I deserve.
Spoiler:
|
Honestly, when people harass you to that degree that says a lot more about them than it does about you. You really have to be the lowest of the low in order to tell people how little worth they have in your opinion. If anything, it just goes to show that you have the patience of a saint. I probably would have offed myself a long time ago if people did that to me. ^^"
And it's true that identity is a difficult thing to grasp. But I do think that identity isn't necessarily what you are (or what you think you are) at a certain point in time. It's constantly evolving. Acknowledging that there are things about you that you wish were different is already the first step to a better self. And it's not something that others need to approve of. All that is needed is that you feel comfortable with it. I don't know if you're in therapy. But if you aren't then it may be worth considering. |
Just came back from an appointment with a psychologist.
At the beginning of this year, I went through a several weeks long practical training. It did have good moments, but it was still agitated, hard and stressful, especially for me. We tend to think that this is the source of the funk I was in afterwards, until may : Joining this forum and meeting you all has helped me a lot, but I still have that global feeling of continuous apathy pulling me down. We also think that, with more time and talking, this apathy will finally go away. For your warm welcome on this forum, your friendship and the fun times we have had - and will continue having -, my friends, I thank you even more. |

I felt like sharing a little bit of something that kinda makes me often sad, which is the relationship with my body.

After several days to make sure, I think I can say that, by talking about it, being aware of it and what caused it, and letting time do its part, my apathy is gradually receding and I am on the path to feeling normal and good again!

Hello, my first time visiting here!
I am Lucario and for the vast majority of my life, I never had any real mental issues, apart from mild social anxiety. At least not that I was aware of. Sure I had an edgy phase in my early teens, but that really was "just a phase". Anyways here are my mental health adventures over the past year (in the spoiler since it is a lengthy post): Spoiler:
|
Going to update my last post.
After much reflection turns out my childhood sucked. My grandmother extorted my family, her husband tried to stab my sister, and they had my dog put down for no real reason. Realizing this has had a negative effect on my emotional state. I miss apathy. I am not going to stop my normal stuff. Not sure if I enjoy it or if it's a sense of duty, but either way It's something to do. |

Part of me hates posting here because my default position when it comes to my own mental health is “nobody cares,” but I lack any other outlet since I’ve given up therapy and I don’t like bothering others with my moping. Not a massive wall of text but I'll spoiler it anyway

What I mean is that there may be something unsuspected causing you to feel like this, that had effects you might not have thought. I recommend you to talk about it, to your close ones, to a psychologist, and to try and find the source. That is what I did, and gradually from there, I have felt better and better. So, I hope you too will find the cause too, and feel better with time going as you talk about it. Best wishes for you to feel better! |

Now, I'm definitely not an expert in terms of psychology. And I don't have a good grasp on the topic of narcissism. But I still can't really picture you as a narcissist, tbh. Maybe it's just me and maybe I'm just projecting (my sincere apology in that case). But you seem to act a lot more out of a defensive state? At least here on PC that seems to be the case. I guess a tip you could try: turn your conclusion upside down. If you're a narcissist then the opposite shouldn't be true. Sorry for the cryptic advise. ^^" But even if it is true, it still doesn't matter as long as you keep working on your self. |
I yearn for the day when I finally don't have to exist, anymore. <_<

I won't bother talking about life, but I just want to say how I kinda manage to go through this. I think that I am 22 and that I still have to write my life, that there are chances it might get better, because future is unknown and I am not an optimistic person, but there's the time to do so. To get over it for a while, I free my mind with all the stupid interests I have: I listen to music, read about something, write stuff, whatever and then I move on. It's a great way to put away the bad vibes and get back on track. |
I have felt revigorated today.
Could be attributed to better sleep or change of season, but it's like a new feeling of life. I'm grateful for it. |
Lonely, depressed and stuck in an every ongoing loop of my day to day life; that's what's going on and what's pulling me down at the moment. And that doesn't even consider the ongoing doom and gloom that's going on in the world right now.

I hope that everyone is doing well. I was reading a self-improvement book recently that had an exercise in it that I found helpful.
Identify someone or something in your life currently that you enjoy/feel grateful for, and then imagine if it was taken away from you suddenly. It could be a friend for example, lover, family member, pet, your home, school, job, health, mental capabilities. I think that it's an interesting question, because even if you are not happy with your situation or with yourself, it's still a constructive way of thinking that can help you to appreciate what you do have, and relish those moments while they are there. I thought of my mother, and was glad that she's still with me. She and I chatter like parrots every day. For somebody else it may be a different thought that comes to mind, but usually there is something when we stop to think about it. I wanted to share this tip with the mental health club in case others could use it when they're having a rough time. |

im doing, okay i think? for the most part. ive been stressed from various things in my life, but i am going on vacation soon so hoping that will help a little. its been hard to even think or focus on my mental health tbh bc i work so much and on my days off the last thing i wanna do is think abt stuff like that, i guess?

I have a tumor in my chest, sitting on my airway.
I want it out, but idk if they will. They're booking tests and I'm so frightened. Just...having it in there, not knowing if it's malignant. |

Honestly this community is so much better than Relic Castle mainly cause when i tried to talk about my mental health during the time in their discord server i immediately got told to stop…
Side note: Honestly the feedback here for my project has been really good (I’ve had some really bad feedback i didn’t like like “oh don't be edgy” or “oh this offends that maybe don’t do that” which makes me want to just..scrap the thing all together..) |
i hate myself. a lot. and i dont feel like i belong anywhere, including here.
alas. |

Thanks i just don't like when people advise me things like “don't do a religious worldview cause its offensive” because i’m just sat here like”well what else am i freaking supposed to do besides like i need help with things and yet you just like decide to point out things ya know Dont do this don't do that heck on reddit one user decided to point out like my grammer
Attachment 103502 This just feedback bought me to tears and just made me feel like my project wasn’t good enough with the effort input into my project so it’s difficult to find people that just don’t give negative feedback in a way. Like i felt like just scrapping the whole thing due to this and i don't really enjoy negative feedback like the fact they pointed out my grammar like that is just mean. |

I really hate how they always say or try to tell me to avoid the freaking religious route like it makes me just want to cry because I hate that type of feedback so much
Like on the relic castle version of the comic it was like “oh its incoherent worldbuilding or offensive” - like thats not freaking helpful to me besides maybe realise some people have a different perspective than you… |
Quote:
Just saying because I think that due to the actual bad experience you've been having, everything is starting to feel like an attack now. It may even be good to just take a break from that for now and maybe focus on something else - more things for your project for example! - to come back to things with maybe a clearer head, as you've not had to deal with it. |
I know it’s just my mental health hasn’t been that great besides i’m only doing this project for fun and stuff so like ya know i don’t know how to respond to that type of feedback.
Like I may be creative with my ideas but that typw of feedback/criticism i don’t know how to respond to that. I’m not trying to sound mean or anything ya know - i just hate that i can’t handle negative feedback die to my freaking autism (yeah i don't really give myself self-care or love) |
Ok sort of updates:
1. Only gonna take the feedback that actually helps me in a way 2. I sort of got the offensive thing but like for the wendigo pokemon i did (though it is mostly based on winter wendigos from Until Dawn crossed with a fan-art depiction of one) which got me upset but i’m sort of ok now in a sense 3. I’m gonna try asking for design ideas this time so that i don’t end up with something that makes me upset and focus on like i said - feedback that helps My mental health is still meh though but i’ve been talking with friends and family and they support whatever I do so ya know could be better days. |
Quote:
I'm also glad to hear that your family is supporting you, that's really sweet! I'll pray that you feel better though, if you need someone to talk to feel free to hit me up yeah? :) |
Quote:
|
Yeah they’ve always been supportive of anything I do really so that helps me push on with my creations.
Right like a few times it got me close to quitting my project but i didn’t thankfully plus i love my creations so much and what i’m doing with my project because my ideas are strong with what i’m doing with it so ya know when people say those types of things it’s like “ok but you really shouldn’t speak for other communities it’s rude and insensitive in a way” I try and ask for help and look for feedback from people that don’t like try and speak for other communities - like i can see why they’d say things but at the same time it’s best not to speak for a community unless you’re part of said community in a way. Anyways,thanks for the wishes and prayers!! |
I wanna cry. I just wanna cry. I'm tired. Of everything. I'm tired and I hate it.

Update 2: My mental health is worst,ive started to have headaches and nausea plus i’m trying to have fun with pokemon and completing the dex but as ive posted recently i’m starting to give up on it so i just don’t feel like continuing the game.
Havent had the energy to do anything really because some random person added stressful scenarios to a roleplay we are doing and it makes me feel like i can’t have fun anymore |

I honestly love drawing more than anything - mostly bout my Original Character because i love developing her and giving her lots of new outfits speaking of that - need to design a villain vibe type of outfit for her inspired by like the spider legs on clothin idea one friend gave me and medusa from soul eater.
I know i want to add goth and necromancer vibes but idk how. |

Does anyone here have TMJ issues? I developed jaw clicking on my left side when opening my mouth a few months ago after using a nasal mist (and probably tensing my jaw without realizing?) and suddenly keep thinking about it. No pain or anything usually and no one else can hear it/it's not picked up on recordings. I know the vast majority of cases stay stable or improve over time but I worry it will get worse after doing TMJ googling. Having an easily-anxious personality that catastrophizes things is so exhausting, even if I understand people sharing their horrible experiences with health stuff are the odd ones out since most others get better and don't bother talking about it online lol. :x

Had such a scare on Friday. I really don't know how I keep myself from falling apart when everything else around me seems to be. I guess I'm just programmed that way because of the role I grew up with. But people mistake that as being easy. It's never been easy, yet I somehow carry on, for their sake.
This song speaks so truthfully for people in my shoes, so much that I can't listen to it with my siblings around because it makes me cry lol |
Not jaw related, but my throat will go completely numb when dealing with bad anxiety.
Makes it difficult to or drink eat anything. This isn't happening frequently anymore (thankfully). |

I think it'll be not long before people do decide to start giving it away or such anyway, so I'm sure it will come up soon. If you want just the entry though, have you considered popping into the trade channel on our Discord server? It's fairly active and I'm sure someone would be happy to trade it over to help you complete the Dex - just shout if you want an invite :) |
I feel like a fucking failure, because I am a failure.
Sometimes I wished I never existed... |

Key note here: I did have two threads on this asking for the dex entry stuff but no one really answered. I would try the discord server but i’m unsure if it’s ok to even ask in there considering the last time i went into a Pokémon community server (Relic Castle) it wasn’t the best experience so i don’t know if i should even ask in there really.. Plus um i surprise traded the other miradon because like i didn’t know what to do soooo.. |

Back in Moon I actually managed to get a large portion of my Pokedex done by throwing a bunch of Haunters into the GTS because I knew people really wanted to get their hands on a Gengar. That doesn't mean that Haunter in particular is the way to go. You could do the same with Scyther holding a Metal Coat, for example. What I want to say: you still have options! And I get that you're afraid of joining Discord Servers. Maybe it helps just DMing with some people you already know and maybe some time later they can help you get around the actual server? |
What I wouldn't give to have the final year of my school life erased from my brain.
I hate this year. I hate it so fucking much. Just filled to the brim with trauma and reminders of the fucking failure that I have been reduced to with constant shortcomings. Seriously, confidence is a huge thing, and I have none, NONE OF IT, AT ALL. A person can make fun of me for no fucking reason and I would believe all their words about me to be true. Even now, just thinking about it, thinking about my failures, make me go into an anxiety trip. And fuck this, I hope I never get reminded of this year in my entire fucking life. I hate it, I hate it, I FUCKING HATE IT. Fuck you, final year of high school. Just fuck you. |

As a moderator, I will not let some of the language used slide. It's not fair to shout at people trying to help you, and certainly isn't acceptable to call people slurs, no matter how hurt you are. Another wrong will never make a right. I am not going to delete your post for now because this is not my section, but I'm spoilering it and removing the slur. I will let the clubhouse team take it from there. You are going through a tough time right now and I understand. My teen years were the worst time of my life. I nearly didn't make it past them, but I scraped through and even though life isn't easy, the good times, the tiny glimmers of hope, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, make it all worth while. You need to survive the tough times to make it to the good ones, and they are worth all of the suffering, I promise, but you can't attack others to make your own pain go away, not only will it not work, but it's not fair on everyone else. |

I would like to reiterate what Starlight has already said. There was absolutely no reason to make such a post, regardless of whether or not you intended to delete it. Language like that is not admissible here or anywhere on the else forum. I know that you are fully aware of that. The clubhouse is meant to be a safe space, and posts such as the one you have made are completely inappropriate and unacceptable, as you have infringed upon the comfort and safety of others.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to discuss a hard time in your life or vent, we are all here to offer you support. However, the way in which you expressed yourself does not align with the guidelines implemented in this server. There are healthier ways of communicating, and swearing incessantly whilst tossing around slurs is again, intolerable and distasteful. I truly do hope that things do get better for you, however you must be cognizant of the fact that behaviour such as what you have displayed will not be accepted in any way, shape, or form. I’m wishing you the very best, and I implore you to be more mindful of the words you use and the way in which you interact with others on this forum. |

So mental health update…again:
Great to know that i can’t trace for art for my own project because some people still consider it bad.. For context i was drawing this: Attachment 103992 And appearantly some people went ‘don’t trace it’s bad especially if you don’t credit the artist’ It just made me feel like quitting art…or just Pokémon art in general because how am i supposed to draw body shapes and shit especially when i try and use shapes to help with the body as well as paradox Pokémon i want to draw! (I’m not trying to be guilt-trippy her i was that close to shutting down my art stuff from what they said) |

Art can be very hard. As someone who's spend 20 years trying to become less bad at drawing I can assure you that much. But no matter how good or bad someone may be: it all comes down to people trying to express themselves. If it makes you happy then you probably shouldn't stop. :) |

Like many of us, I find this time of year to be quite tough at times. I just want to wish all of you happy holidays and all the best for 2023, it's gonna be a great year <3

Hi everyone,
I hope 2023 is a good year that brings everybody good mental and physical wellbeing. I am here to make a post that includes resources that may be helpful to members if they are going through a crisis. There are emergency contact numbers and websites in the link below where you can potentially get expert advice and solutions. Help is available is many countries around the world, and for several types of struggles. https://checkpointorg.com/global/ The Mental health club will always be here for all of us as a source of comfort where different perspectives are exchanged as you tell your story, listen to the words of others and work together to support one another emotionally. But because it's not a replacer for professional help at the end of the day, i have added the contact information of the actual professionals too, if what you or someone you know is fighting is beyond the scope of help you can get in the club, so that you are armed with the best tools. Stay safe and warm guys, sending my love to you all. |

Thanks everyone ;;
It's just so miserable when it happens. You have no control, it just happens. That's what I dislike most. |

Many hugs to you @Sandalphon <3 I'm so sorry.
My mental health has been pretty poor this week. Just constantly overthinking and every little health issue makes me think it's some horrendous thing. Tired of getting knots in my stomach all the time. |
Tomorrow will be the date of anniversary for my dad's passing. I don't like the word, however it's not easy thinking of a more fitting term.
It's not fun being without a parent, especially on reminders like this. I find it even more harrowing as I've gotten older and became more aware of the circumstances surrounding his death. I hope that anybody who is struggling with mental health here can seek a healthy outlet or find solace through professional help. My dad could not find that comfort in his life. Despite him being gone, his flowers he had taken care of bloomed a beautiful pink color. Spoiler:
Goodbye Dad. |
