Confessions thread

[Ariosto]

If it makes you feel better, or more at ease, then sure, leave for as much as you need. Only advice I can offer is that you don't keep it all to yourself; if you have someone you trust a lot into, and who also trusts and cares a lot for you, there is nothing to lose in asking for their help and understanding, and if they are good friends, they'll probably do all in their power to help you. This is probably going to sound clichéd, and hard to do, but... in a situation such as yours (as much as I can understand it), there is no shame in asking for help when in distress, or once in a while. But if you don't want to ask for help, then, may you still have the necessary strength to keep going forward with your life. I hope there's always someone there for you, or that you can always push through it, whether you do it by yourself or with the aid of somebody.

I haven't passed out in class for two days!!

You will crash eventually. Sleep deprivation builds up over time.

 

[Atemis]

Sleep deprivation can also cause loss of appetite and depression, both of which can be hard to crawl out of.
Get some sleep!

 

[CrazyTundraWolf]

I'd say always tell someone when your in distress , someone you trust though , wouldn't want your issue to get out unless you wanted it to

This thread seemed to get really serious when I started posting

I challenge my depression by eating

 

[Atemis]

I used to only sleep 2 hours a night back in high school as well. All it caused was stress and depression, I couldn't even do any work or enjoy anything because I was so stressed. My health plummeted as well, was too tired to exercise, too tired to go have fun with friends. It is a terrible thing.
You get into a cycle, you start playing games to relieve stress but you keep playing into the night to take your mind off reality. You're too busy playing games to do homework so instead you try to do it during lunch, you never have time to eat, when you get home you're too tired for dinner but cant sleep because of stress.

It's a vicious cycle you have to break.

 

[FenrirDarkWolf]

I do get depression, and I'm stressed because of graduation and school, but I always try to eat lunch and work with my guard equipment every day for at least 30 minutes to an hour.

 

[Ariosto]

I confess that, from what little I've read of the Silmarillion, I don't think Tolkien's prose is too exciting. For the record, I've only gone from 'Anulindalë' to the first chapter of 'Quenta Silmarillion'... which is... almost nothing, so I guess it's still too early to tell. But still, very little has actually happened, and what little has does so in the archaic and mildly stilted language Tolkien uses. I expected a bit more of lyrical flourish, to be honest... it'd come in handy now (and no, the part with the two trees didn't strike me as particularly lyrical); nothing so far really compares with Ovid's account of Narcissus's damnation, for example, or Homer's account of Diomedes's badassery. He's missing that little personal intromission as a narrator-writer that makes the story feel less formal and more humane.

 

[Atemis]

Tolkien always spent too much time world building IMO. A lot of readers like that, I find it tedious and prefer writers like G. R.R. Martin who found a good balance between detail and action.

There's been such a strange energy about this place lately. I hope everyone is ok...or reaching out to someone they know and trust If they aren't.

I agree. It feels more unstable.

 

[Deleted member 93706]

I agree. It feels more unstable.

It's because Mika is gone.

 

[Ieono]

I oftentimes don't have reliable internet access these days, and I don't really miss it all that much.

 

[UrsusArtist]

I agree. It feels more unstable.

I've only had a month under my belt here, and the general mood has usually been light, joking, open, and friendly. The change is throwing me for a loop.

I also confess that I sometimes feel like I jumped into posting here too soon, rather than lurking and reading a bit more first.

 

[sniperfreak223]

I once texted my girlfriend "Baby, it's 3 am I must be lonely..." at 3am

 

[jtrekkie]

I am probably going to disable my account for a while. this shouldnt happen anymore and besides i am losing track of my life with how much i let myself get distracted.

I hate, hate putting my issues out in public like that. it makes me feel awful, but I get so many emotions that I start to just feel angry not being able to say anything without making myself scared of the response, or lack thereof. So i just...usually now i just get pent up and explode, and that is probably much worse.

thank you for the concern to anyone who offered it. i shouldnt have demanded it from you.

Take care, amigo.

@Ursus

I spent maybe 20 minutes lurking in '12, and I thought "nope". Came back a few months ago and dived in headfirst. It's been awesome.

 

[Kleric]

I also confess that I sometimes feel like I jumped into posting here too soon, rather than lurking and reading a bit more first.

I didn't really lurk either when I first joined, I just popped right in. I'd say you're a great addition to this community, you didn't go running off like most of the new members I've seen anyway.

I confess that someone may have to take the initiative to say something weird and interesting to change the mood here.. It might be me, but I have no good ideas...

 

[UrsusArtist]

I confess that it has been years since I sketched or drew something. Just started again because of FA/FAF And I have you all to thank for it.

 

[Gator]

...i keep considering using my grandma's foot spa because my feets have been destroyed by work. but when i read "soothing features to enhance your footcare indulgence", i am put off. i'm not ready for this yet.

 

[RedSavage]

Haha. Okay. I'll bite.

I've made a point masturbate or have sex while under the influence of every drug I've tried (or attempt to at least).

Things that enhance sexual pleasure/performance: Alcohol, weed, MDMA, cocaine

Things that make it difficult/boring to get off: shrooms, acid, 25-i, hydrocodone/zaneys/pills

Impossible to get off/get aroused: DMT

For the most part psychedelics and pills tend to be the most difficult to have any fun.
By far MDMA (molly) was the most pleasurable. Then again, EVERYTHING feels like sex with molly. Love to chill with some heavy bass on that stuff. Feels incredible.

God does the morning after suck though. I only did a single night's worth. How ravers go days on that stuff is beyond me.

 

[Ariosto]

I don't even know what half those things are, oh dear... (for the récord, I've never tried any drugs, and don't plan to either).

Confieso que... no, no, ni en español me interesa decirlo.

 

[Maugryph]

It's because Mika is gone.

You forget that these forums where around long before Mika joined. People come and go. As much as i miss Ayttar and Mika the forums will continue on.

 

[Kleric]

I confess that I prefer small boobs to big boobs.

 

[Maugryph]

I haven't played a game in two weeks. And thanks to my animations classes, probably never will again.
Also I used to be a cronic swimmer. I miss the water.

 

[Kinharia]

I confess that I get addicted to one type of food easily. For example I'll go months eating the exact same thing and make myself sick off it and then repeat the process all over again with a new food.
