I know this feeling all too well. It's been a few years and I still feel terrible.LupisDarkmoon wrote:I had a really bad mental health day for a number of little reasons, mostly just a buildup of bad thoughts that my brain didn't want to register or deal with until they got overwhelming. It finally came to a head over the most childish of things- feeling left out over some friends roleplaying together a lot without me, in a game where we'd all been excited to have our characters interact. It totally wasn't them trying to leave me out and they have every right to enjoy themselves and have fun- I don't need to be involved in everything ever, and it was just bad communication.
Unfortunately, my brain had a goshdang meltdown and I ended up not being very communicative myself, which ended up doing a lot of harm. It was just a small thing in the end, but it damaged trust between myself and some of the best friends I've got, and hurt my gf. It's getting better- I've apologized and I'm not going to let myself do that again, and they've said it's ok- but I can't help but feel like I've broken something fragile, and that there'll be something uncomfortable between us now.
I'm sure I'm overreacting and it'll all be okay, but oogh. I hate feeling like there's something wrong and people are walking on eggshells around me.

Re: Rant Thread
I'm finally sitting and reading the patch notes and can't possibly understand how anyone could be mad at Blizzard. They're always highly amusing to me, and this year is no exception. There are some seriously solid movie and song references in there that had me laughing and being like "Oh, I see what you did there."Iowawolf wrote:Players in WOW are getting so fucking stupid nowadays, today Blizzard did their yearly April fools day patch notes which many found quite funny myself included but you had some who are so pissed over 7.2 and the "lack" of content they bashed Blizzard even when told it wasn't the devs who did these but others. Maybe if players didn't blow through stuff on day one they wouldn't be whining saying 7.2 sucks or they are bored shit I am still working on pathfinder part one for fucks sake and always am seeing new content if this fucking game is so damn boring to them then just fucking quit the damn game that's right uninstall the game and burn your fucking computer never to play WOW ever again.

Re: Rant Thread
I feel like that's pretty normal for those of us suffering from anxiety. We go through every possible scenario ever, and usually you linger over the really bad ones (I tend to assume I'm always going to die). After some therapy I can usually brush those worries off a little easier now, or find a way to tell myself I'm being silly, but I can't pretend to assume what your levels of anxiety are. Really, the only thing I could suggest is getting into therapy as soon as possible and to try not to be afraid of the meds. Just follow the directions and precautions for taking them, and never be afraid to tell your doctor/therapist/psychiatrist when something doesn't feel right. Often times the dosages need adjusting or you need a different kind of med.Lupen202 wrote:I'm just so scared the meds won't work or that I'll go nuts before they do. I can't stop my mind from racing and thinking of every possible outcome or possibility and I hate it.
I also recommend having your regular therapist work on coping skills for how to handle anxiety/panic attacks that don't involve the medicine. The meds absolutely help, but if you're ever in a situation where they're not working, you have to stop taking them, etc. you'll want to have those coping mechanisms. I had to stop taking my Zoloft when I got pregnant, and my anxiety has been beating me up pretty bad because I'm in between therapists and the ones I had before didn't really give me great coping mechanisms. I've been having to use my kind of made up ones until I can get back in (my OB's have recommended me for therapy and psychiatry to possibly put me on a low dose of Zoloft or something to help me finish this pregnancy in a safe mind).
I'm sorry I can't be of more help. I hope you're able to find something that works for you. It's a real bitch when anxiety takes over your life and keeps you from functioning.

Re: Rant Thread
My rant:
As you probably have noticed Ive been a little quiet. I had a nervous breakdown about a month ago where I wanted to end things.. I had some help and got up from the lowest level of depression but only up a step or two, but enough for me to want to live on. Then the municipal system dunked me right back in again.. They want me to force me away from my family and support system for 3 - 6 months and put me in a place to make me loose weight. I´ve been crying for like 3 days straight and must admit that there has been times where it felt easier if I just was not around anymore. But Luckily I got my faith which has kept me from taking drastic steps.. But I dont know what to do.. My body breaks down if I go on my stairs and I cant even go see a shrink which both me and my doctor agrees that I desperately need. The municipal system dont care.. they dont care that I have several testaments from doctors saying that my obesity is a chronic disease and that I have tried everything in order to loose wight. The municipal system just continues to pound me on the head and tells me that Im stupid and that I eat too much eventhough I dont. We need the money i get from The municipal system else we cant survive.. I HATE being trapped in a system which pisses on me (pardon my french) and makes me feel that Im worth nothing.
sigh
Good thing I have my faith.. Thats the one thing which gives me light in the end of the tunnel. .. but ohh that tunnel seams so dark and long at the moment.
HUGE thanks to Makoes, Syleye, FeralClaw, Pingupuff, Karin,Bowno, Varethyn, Ashaine, Kishay, Aki (Täräin13), my friend Marie and some lovely ppl on Fligth Rising for my lovely sig

Re: Rant Thread
This for me too Tarn. I don't know you per say but I love you. More than you know. Try not to allow others' actions to ruin YOUR happiness and mental well being. Do allow your eFamilies words, kindness & love to wash over you. Good thoughts & feelings in. Bad out.TygerDarkstorm wrote:Tarn, every time I hear/see stuff about this with you, it makes me so angry. And not at you. I just find it so hard to believe that your systems where you live are doing absolutely nothing to help you and that, despite proof that you need other help and that just "eating less" is not an option. Don't get me wrong, America is in the shitter for healthcare too (I have been extremely grateful that despite being on MediCal (state provided healthcare because I can't afford proper insurance) I have gotten really wonderful care for my pregnancy). I'm just... I'm so sorry that this keeps happening to you and it sucks knowing there's nothing I can do to help and that your state (or whatever it is where you're at) is totally overlooking you.
Lupen - (or anyone else with anxiety /depression,) Hopefully two things my therapist taught me can help.
1) Find a quiet place alone. Allow your mind to wonder. As soon as things start to get uncomfortable scream in your loudest angry voice STOP! I know it seems like it won't work. But it does and can. Will the anxiety away. The object of this is to stop an attack before it starts or while it's happening. It takes time to master but it has worked.
2) Try to quiet your mind & slowly inhale while thinking "the more I breathe". Exhale while thinking " the less anxiety /depression I have". This breathing exercise is another that takes does take time to master but really helps. Focus on your breathing mostly then the words.
I sincerely hope these help others as they've helped me.

I have only been a hunter since MOP but even then we had respect for each other I guess this is one main reason WOW is going downhill the old timers are tired of the bratty kids ruining their game.

Even on low pop servers it's awful.
Why is this one so bad versus the raptor where Alliance have happily chilled out without aggroing a single NPC or getting ganked by the Horde? Dammit, Blizzard. This is awful.
