Hihi!

[Ennoshima]

Exactly! If you don't have something nice or constructive to say why say it at all O:

Same here ;^; I'm currently jobless due to all of this but I'm sure things will pick up soon enough. The job search commences! Lol my downfall is always interviews ;^; I feel so scrutinized and in turn that makes me super nervous xD even if I am more than qualified for whatever the job might be.

Once we both get our Switches we should definitely co op some games!

Hehe yes it's a cute design. I was away in Canada last Christmas and I wanted to get her something small. She ended up finding those online and I let her pick whichever one she liked the most.

No problem ^_^ and thank you as well. Life will never give you something that you can't handle. We got this!

People never learn. ^^;

I'm unable to work at the moment in general cause of a lot of issues -- but eventually I plan to return to College to continue my studies in Forensic Science! At the moment that's all on hold until I get better, and can find ways to manage most of my ailments. I get so nervous in interviews too -- thanks anxiety. xD I just tend to fall over my words half the time because my brain processes faster at times, or I speak/type faster than my brain can process.

I'd love that! I think it'd be really fun!

That's so sweet! I do the same for my younger nieces of nephews during holidays or their birthdays -- if I have the extra money. I try to save up for them at least. ^^

You're totally right, and I try to remind myself that everyday! I just wish it could be easier is all. I'm very proud of you and any/all the progress you've made!​

I was in that boat too. I was going to school for dental assisting and just as I was in the final months of my program and all I needed to do was finish my work hours... I blacked out in the middle of assisting with a patient. It only got worse from there and it took months to figure out what was wrong with me. I ended up having an underactive thyroid and was told I would be on meds for life. I couldn't leave the house without having a full blown panic attack as a side effect of the meds they put me on /: Wasn't until I decided to go to a specialist (Endocrinologist) that I got better and eventually my thyroid started producing on its own again. Haven't been on meds in 5 years ^_^.

Moral of the story, don't ever let anyone tell you you're never going to get better. Ooh forensics! That sounds awesome! Can't wait to hear how that goes :D I've been thinking of going back to Dental school but ..honestly now with all of this going on I'm not sure I'd want to be anywhere near the medical field ): I really don't want to put my family at risk. So everything is in the air right now.

Hehe I love the holidays c: It makes me so happy to give to others ^_^. I really hope this all blows through by then ): I don't want to have a mail Christmas lol.


Yea.. one of my biggest downfalls is I don't take one thing at a time. I sort of look at everything in the larger picture and it ends up being extremely overwhelming. It's just easier to take things as they go and not worry about the what ifs so much.

I'm glad you're doing better! My significant other was born without a Thyroid -- so I understand the difficulties from a perspective point of view. (I also accompany him to his appointments to help explain things -- he gets caught up in his words a lot. I also do -- but I "override" it to better help him). Thyroid problems tend to run in my family too -- and I usually get checked every few months to a year to make sure mine is doing ok -- though I'm sure eventually I'll run into a problem, I already have so many other ailments -- but I just make the best of each day if I feel able to.

I'm waiting as well -- and mostly just doing online research with the free stuff I can find! I've been into Forensics since I was a kid, and started taking classes in middle school. (I was surprised we had a Forensics one for extra grade/class). I'm high-risk as is, and I also don't want to put my family at risk whenever I visit them. I'm stuck in the other side of the whole place I am from anyway because this all started up more when visiting my boyfriends family. Needless to say -- I am homesick, but I refuse to travel via plane or anything else until this is over. ^^;

I'm not too keen on Christmas lately -- I lost my father to cancer a few days before it, and he was also diagnosed with it a few days before it too. (I don't try to be bitter -- but it's just something I'm currently feeling lately, one day I'll come to enjoy the holidays more again).

I'm the same! It's really hard to take things one at a time -- I struggle with it horribly still. I have a medication which helps -- but I try not to take too much of it. (Lately I've been taking it everyday -- I just feel extremely overwhelmed with all that's going on, so I need it, and I have talked with my doctor via video call appointment -- so I should be ok)!​

Oh man /: that must be difficult. I feel for him. I had so many horror stories from getting blood drawn that I now have so much anxiety going in for any regular blood tests. ): He's really lucky to have you and I'm sure he appreciates the heck out of you for it. The person I was with at the time sort of abandoned me, which I don't blame him. Not everyone can handle being with someone when they're going through medical issues like that.

It seems alot of universities are offering free courses due to all of this ^_^ so definitely take advantage! Oh wow 0: I can see how that would make you homesick. I was away from my family for an entire year so xD I understand. It's probably not likely that you're in Southern California but if you are and you need anything feel free to reach out ^_^. That's a good call. I would avoid airports right now o.o

I'm deeply sorry to hear that ): I'm sure he must be proud of the person you are becoming. I know eventually that holiday will turn into a positive memory in time. I like to think they are always somewhere nearby giving us little nudges here and there in life.

It's so awesome that you can contact medical staff through calls like that during these times! I think this is going to lead to alot more efficient and safer ways of living. People really need to be more cautious and clean. /:< Everytime I go out I always see gloves and face masks all over the parking lots. Is it such rocket science to just walk to a trash can ._.

He tries his best, but some days are more difficult than others. I make sure he takes his medications, and I always double check his skin/eyes to make sure they're not more yellow than usual. (He has other problems with his thyroid, and I can tell if he's getting sick by the change in colour). He's just been upped in dosage on his thyroid meds, since we went to get his blood work done about 3-4 days ago. (We're very safe and cautious when going out during these times -- and only go out when it's important). I'm really sorry you had to experience that, and it's really admirable of you not holding any grudges. (Though, I do understand those who do against others -- but only if it's something VERY extreme, though everyone has their own personal codes to live by). Just know you didn't deserve that, and you're very lovely. I've went through what you have, and some other things I can't publicly discuss in the forums -- but just know you're not alone, and that you did nothing wrong.

As sad as the whole situation is, it is nice to have some free classes being offered since I'm usually tight on money -- the many struggles of life. ^^; I actually am from Southern Cali!! That's where we are currently -- I've been living here for a few years now. (I met my BF online, and I'm from East Coast, but we've been together for awhile, and living together for a few years now)! We came here last year to visit his family, and do some medical stuff for him. (He's military, so he needed to come back here to do all that). I really only have my mom and sister, and we've been rekindling a relationship since things have been rocky between us for awhile -- but I stepped up and so did they once my father passed, I felt it was something he would of wanted, so far it's been going really well! Thank you for your kind words, some days I feel I'm not doing the best I can be, but then I remember no matter the pace, he would be proud.

I agree! I also wish people were actually following the protocols, some people brag about not wearing masks for whatever reason. The masks are mostly in case you're a carrier and asymptomatic -- so people (like me who are high-risk) don't catch it. I only have a few N95 masks cause my mom is a former nurse, and was recently called back into work due to all of this. (I hope she stays safe), so she mailed us a few. I also have a few cloth ones which are reusable and washable -- but I also spray them down with Lysol and have them sit in a zip-lock baggie for 12-24 hrs. (Then I air them out before use so we're not breathing in all that fully, I know there's some residue, but just like it would be when spraying it around the room). We luckily found more soap and sanitizers, so we try our best to keep everything and ourselves clean. I also hate that people litter this stuff -- not only is it damaging the Earth (just like regular littering, which I wish people would also stop), but I feel it's also contributing to the spread since all that stuff can be lifted up into the air particles after use -- whether they're sick or did touch something with COVID on it). People will never learn, sadly. :< (I'm a big nature nut, and I try my best to do change on my own terms, even if I'm just one person -- my boyfriend is the same thankfully).​

Welcome welcome :)

I felt exactly the same way when signing up to this forum, I was super nervous about joining but honestly, everyone's been very kind and welcoming!

I have GAD, a Panic disorder and Agoraphobia (every anxiety disorder but social anxiety haha) so I was super paranoid about joining, but I've really enjoyed my time on here - I hope you do too!
If you ever want to talk I'm here or trying to be here. I wanna push myself to be more social online, so if you'd like I'm here. ("o ,o)

I've been a bit hesitant signing up due to social anxiety -- but today I decided to join the forums!

I've recently taught myself how to mod Stardew recently, and have been having fun! I've been playing for about a year now on PC, and wanted to give it a go with oodles of mods.
(Not enough to crash my PC, mind you).

Anyways -- wanted to stop in and say hello! I hope to be active within the community here when able. ​
