I should mention that I spent ~26 hours because I tried to *never* run anywhere. I walked through #SilentHill and only ran during (boss) combat encounters for the most part.

Such a great game. 🥰

And this is why anti-tunneling mechanics are being added into #DBD. The killer literally found this one survivor, and tunneled them out of the game. I like playing killer and survivor, but this is pretty sad if that's the only way to get a 4k. 🤷

And on blight no less. Come on. #DoBetter
Two images: first is the list of survivors in game. I am currently on my first hook, second survivor has zero hooks uninjured, third survivor is dead with 3 hooks, fourth survivor has just been put into the dying state. Second image shows a 4K (four kill) end of game screen. The player who was tunneled out had 8,474 score, the lowest in the game. The killer score was 37,916 and I had the second highest with 24,857 due to finishing the only gen that was completed.

My therapist: why do you feel like you have to make everyone like you?
Me: if I don't then I don't have value as a person. 🫠

#ADHD #RSD
What is rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD)? Rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) is when a person feels intense emotional pain related to rejection. The word “dysphoria” comes from an ancient Greek word that describes a strong — if not overwhelming — feeling of pain or discomfort. Though RSD isn’t an officially recognized symptom or diagnosis, it’s still a term that experts use in connection with recognized conditions. While rejection is something people usually don’t like, the negative feelings that come with RSD are stronger and can be harder to manage or both. People with RSD are also more likely to interpret vague interactions as rejection and may find it difficult to control their reactions. Symptoms and Causes People with RSD often show the following traits and behaviors: It’s very easy for them to feel embarrassed or self-conscious. They show signs of low self-esteem and trouble believing in themselves. They have trouble containing emotions when they feel rejected. This is often noticeable in children and teenagers with this condition. Some may react with sudden shows of anger or rage, while others may burst into tears. Instead of losing control of their emotions outwardly, some people with RSD may turn their feelings inward. This can look like a snap onset of severe depression, and sometimes, it’s mistaken for sudden emotional shifts that can happen with bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder. They’re often “people pleasers” and become intensely focused on avoiding the disapproval of others. They may avoid starting projects, tasks or goals where there’s a chance of failure. They compensate for their fear of failure or rejection by going all-out or striving for perfectionism. However, the downside of this is that they often experience intense anxiety and may not easily make self-care or downtime a priority. Who does rejection sensitive dysphoria affect, and how common is it? There’s limited available research on exactly who experiences RSD and how common it is. But the condition seems to happen most often in people with ADHD. Experts have also linked it to other personality and mood disorders, but more research is necessary regarding who experiences this issue and how common it is.

Yes. Please. This would be amazing. Please I am begging. 🙏 #Xmen #LaurenceFishburne

This is between 1/4th and 1/5th the population of North Carolina who will be helped by this.

And yet, for some unknown reason, we can't get universal health care. 🤷‍♀️ It's almost like if you try to charge people who don't have money for health care they can't pay it! 🤔

A company making $4.7 billion is not going through "extreme hardship".

What #Nintendo should have done is offer this person a JOB instead of suing them for millions of dollars.

Fuck #corpos.

"Down Forever" by #Lights 💜
Some of the lyrics to "Down Forever" by Lights: Don't be so hard on yourself/I say to myself/Lying in the dark/Don't be so hard on yourself/I say to myself, lying/Don't be so hard on yourself/I say to myself/Lying in the dark/Don't be so hard on yourself.

When my meds aren't working vs when they are is BANANAS.

Things I'll be doing in the next few months, none of which would be possible without my meds.

#MDD #depression #todolist
A "want to do soon list" with the following items. Help Dad with cleaning out his storage. Figure out how to reduce cost of Mom's storage. Work on unsubscribing and closing unused accounts online. Start packing for move. Start looking for areas to move to (BoJa, FL, HT, etc), and housing types. Contact tattoo artist. Create donation pile and sort garage items. Go through and clean toolbox. Donate clothes no longer wear or fit. Find time to bring electronics to recycle. Clean carpets, floor, 2nd floor bathroom. Start mini garden? Or get plant for front door.

My pre order arrived and it's pretty good. May have drank 1/3 of it already after only a few days.... 👀

Plus the in game mural is pretty cool! The top one in this image, glad to have more decorations! 💜

Okay but why is this so romantic? ❤️ #science #moon #space
While the moon will continue to drift, appearing smaller and smaller in the sky, it will never be free of our orbit. The sun will become a red giant and engulf the earth before we are properly separated from the moon's influence. We shall go down together.

Okay, but is there a way I can do this as a hermit with no interaction with others? Asking for a friend. 👀

Me: I really don't like 2v8 #DBD because 1v4 solo queue survivors somehow get worse.
Me: ....
Me: ....survivors... get... worse?
Me: 👁️👄👁️
Me: *gets killer to Iri 1 for the second time*

This comment made me actually cackle out loud.
YouTube comment that says: The real reason DBD is listed as a horror game is because of solo queue teammates. There are 4400 likes on the comment and was liked by the video creator.

Look, I was gonna get some tattoos this year but spending 1/4 of it depresso espresso put a hold on that.

Having said that, I'm pretty sure I want this image of Max from #StrangerThings along with "Running Up That Hill" under or around it:
A black and white outline of Max from Stranger Things from season 4, with her back to us and headphones on.

Y'all. Professors are using AI to read AI papers. Our education system is fucked. 😂
To be sure, professors are also using AI, not just students. While some use it to help develop a course syllabus, others are using it to help grade essays. In some cases, that means AI is grading an AI-generated assignment.

In therapy yesterday he said I should set a certain amount of time for rumination, I struggle with that.

This song is how my brain functions, probably not the artist's intention of the song. #BonIver

Instead of "What might have been lost" I process it as "'What might have been' lost". 🌧️

Back into finishing #SilentHill2 and here's a poster describing the literal last few months for me.

Thank goodness my med increase is finally kicking in.

(I still want to go live in Silent Hill though, for real. If that ain't a red flag I don't know what it. 😂)
A silhouette of a person on a poster that reads the following. REMEMBER. If you experience: - poor appetite or significant weight loss, - insomnia or hypersomnia, - loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities, - feelings of worthlessness or guilt, - diminished abilities to think or concentrate, contact your healthcare provider immediately!

Dune Awakening has been a great distraction, but I'm still going through it. This is the best way to describe the feeling.

Everything feels too much.

And this begins my work week. Let's see if I can get through it.
