What's Bothering You?

[Violet Witch]

Spoiler: ANCH fans 🙄

I hate to sound like a ***** but I can't believe some people are already moaning about the new updates, like come on guys the update was kindly released a day early which as we know has now given the game a whole new lease of life. So for once stop moaning about the small stuff and just sit back and enjoy what Nintendo have given us today and what's coming next when Happy Home Paradise is released over the next 24 hours or so. In other words just be grateful for a change.

Spoiler: TW - death :(

My mom passed away about a month ago after a 3 year long cancer battle. I’m still honestly numb. Feels like she will appear any day and that this will all be a terrible nightmare. I’m 25 and the thought of her not being involved in the rest of my life is so depressing. Gaming and TBT have been really helping me deal with the loss. But it’s been hard. At least I can try to get some NH update play in today. Thanks for reading

Omg, I’m so sorry, Sarah. My mom died last December after a ten month battle with gastric cancer. My heart breaks for you after reading this. It still doesn’t feel real to me and it’s still hard on me, especially as someone with Aspergers. I hope the pain lessens for you at some point, and if you ever need to talk about it or anything else, or want to vent, my DMs are open.

People will find anything to complain about nowadays. People will tend to look for anything negative in a positive situation and focus on that. It’s the very sad truth. We live in a world where negativity is considered normal, and any ounce of positivity, you’re weird. I literally had someone ask me if there was something wrong with me because I seem happy all the time.

-snip-

I’m so sorry for your loss. I am happy that you’re finding ways to take your mind off the situation. I understand that life seems depressing right now, but you’ll only heal with time. You’ll feel better a week from now, more than you did a day from now. You will feel better a month from now, more than you did a week from now. I can tell you for a fact she wouldn’t want you to be upset. I know it’s hard not to be, but you’ll be okay.

This is so relatable, you have no idea.

 

[SarahSays]

Thank you @Croconaw I know she wouldn’t want me to be sad, but I just can’t help but feel devastated.

@Midoriya im so sorry for your loss. Proud of you for carrying on through this last year though. Every day is a struggle for me right now. I may reach out to you to talk - thank you for the offer

It just sucks. Nothing more to say than that. I hope we will heal over time and that it will get better. Just seems SO far off at this point for me.

I wish my doctor wouldn’t take so long for once. I slept in because I’m not on my meds due to them rescheduling me and I’d like to go home and eat breakfast and chill. Not be here for two hours when he literally sees me for 5 minutes and it’s over. I can hear him out in the hall. Why does he have to bring his dog to work today. He’s lucky that I like him

i think im sick. i have a cold, and everytime i cough i get gag reflex. what makes it worse is that my school is freezing but i least i got to go home early, why must this happen straight after the ac update drops.

[Lady Timpani]

i haven’t played the new ac update. i haven’t played the new mario party game. i haven’t done anything. it all just feels so worthless and pointless and joyless. i just want my cat back. i don’t want anything but that.

I'm so sorry for your loss, having to make that decision with your pet is awful. I'm thinking of you.

 

[Midoriya]

Nevermind.

I’m split on the olanzapine I’m taking. On one hand it numbs much of the anxiety I deal with on a daily basis. On the other, it’s made me gain 9 pounds. I don’t look overweight, but I still feel insecure about my body. As someone who used to be anorexic this situation isn’t ideal. I’ve tried dieting and exercising, but my weight is still the same. If only there was a way to convince one of my moms to stop ordering takeout…

 

[ali.di.magix]

I am so drained. We're just overwhelmed with people calling in from the council with issues that are not even the councils issues, or there's literally nothing we can do. Listening to and almost getting abused by the public has been exhausting. I feel like I haven't had a proper sleep all week, my back is sore from my old mattress, I just have literally zero energy. State of emergency has gone, but now there's been covid detected in our wastewater

So, I got shut down again. Sure didn't see that coming.

Won't say anymore since I got silenced after my last post (hopefully this one's fine), but yeah, I'm gone for real this time. Found myself a nice little haven in an AC Discord free of interference. I wish I could say I'm sorry to leave this place behind, but after everything that's happened... not really. That was the last straw for me.

I mean, what other reason do I have to stay here? I'm a joke whom the mods obviously dislike. It kinda sucks that this has to happen so soon after the 2.0 update just started (though it makes sense), and just when I was starting to enjoy the new updates and sharing my daily life here on my island... My island thread's pretty much ignored by most people anyway, so no point updating that piece of crap.

Anyway, Mimi, minty, see you guys on Discord. I'm sorry it has to end this way. I've tried my best. I really did.

Send me a PM if you want mine, I'd rather not type it out publicly.

I’m so annoyed at myself. Had my skills test today (English & maths) and somehow I messed up on the punctuation part?! Even after looking back over it I’m still not sure what I did wrong.
I also flunked one part of my maths assessment and when I looked back over it it was so obvious

I hate doing assessments especially time limited ones as it adds so much unnecessary pressure. It’s not really too much of a big deal since I can retake them in the future, but I’m still annoyed with myself for letting my anxiety get the better of me.

 

[Orius]

After talking to Alienfish (thanks buddy) and a therapist of all people, it got me thinking... It's not fair.

It's not fair that I spent so much money ($1,000) on these Amiibo cards.

It's not fair that I should feel guilty or feel bad after I already bought HHP and NH intending to enjoy these games.

It's not fair that I made friends with quite a lot of lovely people only to be pressured out.

So no... I will not be leaving, again. Sorry if this back-and-forth annoys you, but that's how moods work. We get ups and downs, we make bad decisions and try to learn and move on from them.

I won't be doing giveaways anymore because I want my stay to be for the long term, but I'll still share my island life on TBT, because I bought the game, and I deserve to have my opinion and in-game experience shared. I'm entitled to that. I paid money for it. I paid money for the Series 5 villagers. I'll show them off, because I paid for them.

Sorry if that sounds arrogant and self-entitled, but I'm not having a good day, and half of what I said is the truth anyway. I'm entitled to playing with others and sharing my gaming experience with them. I shouldn't feel like I have to stop playing with others, or somehow feel ashamed for something I never did wrong, or somehow feel alone and ostracized. I shouldn't have to feel that way, so I won't. I paid good money to have a good time.

i stayed home from school today and i got a covid test. i feel a lot better today than i did yesterday, i think i have a cold but i showed a lot of covid symptoms and now i have to isolate until i find out tomorrow or sunday what the results are. if i am positive then there’s gonna be a huge issue. why does this have to happen at the worst time, my grandparents from my fathers side are visting from minnesota and are staying at our house.

 

[oak]

I couldn't afford to get HHP with this paycheck so imma have to wait a couple weeks to get it. It's a small complaint compared to other things but it still sucks.
Edit: I took money out of my saving and bought it lmao. Let's hope no unexpected expense pops up between now and next week which is pay day.

Spoiler: really heavy topic, tw sexual harassment. mods can remove if its too much

I can't stop thinking about this and I skipped class again because of how effected I am emotionally.. Last weekend my sister's boyfriend of 2 years (now-ex) sexually harassed me and kept touching me and tried to get me alone at a Halloween party. He almost left my sister alone in a car while she was passed out drunk, and he said "she'd be fine out there." What the **** man? I had her brought inside so I could look after her and when we were in a dark room to go to bed with a couple other people (my sister included, but she was asleep. we had to stay the night at the friend's house cause the drive was far and the boyfriend was our ride home.) he kept putting his hands on me even though I had told him to stop. We were all sleeping on the floor, and another guy saw and kept peeling him off me. Everyone got way too drunk and the people who witnessed it/he himself don't remember it. I had to break the news of what happened to my sister and I finally did yesterday and she's hurt and torn up, and so am I. I've dealt with trauma of this type before but I don't get why people keep doing it to me. Feels empty and hollow. I used to have respect for him and we were cool.. but I can't fathom the betrayal that he was capable of.

i had to remove my main switch user cause of a problem with my email, so i ran out of switch online early and can't get it again for a while o.o

 

[.: Meri :.]

Everything's alright and it could've been a lot worse, but today's just been really kinda rough. My mom and I thought the house was on fire at 6am, called the fire department and evacuated with the cats and everything, but thankfully the heater had just burnt out and created a lot of smoke/bad smell. Unfortunately this does mean that we don't have a heating system until things can get replaced in a few days. I'm glad everything worked out okay and it wasn't anything serious, but man, that is some way to wake up. I've just felt frazzled and spacey all day. I was looking for ice cubes for my drink in the cabinet instead of the freezer.
Oh, and the ladder we used to check the attic was apparently housing a number of spiders, most of which are probably still in the house somewhere. Fun.
