Crazy combat vet with PTSD. Fearful and avoidant. Really, really cool (just take my word for it).

...See more @Amanda84 @JesusRedeemedMe2425  @AiluraTheCat (if she comes back) @RunningMachine  @agreeableSkies9889 Before anyone asks, yes this is indeed a cult. The guidelines are very simple. We're going to start out with a Tomigotchi pyramid scheme (I'll be at the top). Then we'll work our way towards thought cleansing. Finally we'll finish out with an ascension ceremony (who likes Kool-Aid?!) We will all have important roles. For example, if we get trapped on a desert island with no food, that's where Amanda will come in. Other roles can be hashed out in the comments. If you've made your daily Tomigotchi sales quotas you may also share something about your day or ask for support on something! Also I couldn't remember what we ultimately decided on for the name of the group but I know it was somewhere along these lines. I figured we'd have a name that everyone would like and made everyone feel important. If you have any input / feedback feel free to post below! 👇

For your entertainment: Weird dreams

...See more I decided to quit nicotine (going surprisingly well), and they put me on Chantix. It works great but you get some really weird dreams. I had one where I took a sample of pond scum and put it into a fish tank. It grew into this complex colony of other-worldly pulsating bio organisms which at first was really interesting. But then I got shoved into the fish tank by my sister (even though we're both adults now, live 1000 miles away, and the fish tank was only 10 gallons). Anyways I shrunk down to like the size of a Barbie doll and was trying to swim around these alien looking things because I didn't know what would happen if I touched them. I had another dream where a bear was sleeping on top of me. I remember thinking "dang, when this bear wakes up I'm screwed." But then my dad (who is always helping me during a bad situation / main protagonist in real life) showed up and said "Don't worry, I'm calling bear rescue." I thought to myself this will never work. All bear rescue ever does is throws you down the hill then throws the bear down the hill like 20 seconds later. Sure enough, they throw me down the hill then 20 seconds later throw the now awake, now angry bear down the hill. At this point I'm freaking out so my dad is like "don't worry, I called bear rescue again." But this time they threw me and the bear down an icy crevice that lead to just a circle where the bear chases you round and round. While I was running away from the bear I found a hole I could crawl through, but it took me to the water level of Donkey Kong Country for super Nintendo. Which in itself wasn't terrible (other than being a little off putting trying to swim in 2D) but every time I died in the level it put me back in the circle with the bear. Anyways I ended up beating the level and getting out of the hole. About a month later (in the dream), I was walking by the area with a friend and was like "Don't fall down that hole. There's a now starving bear down there" Last one: This one the whole dream was me just being mad at myself because I had screwed up a date. Essentially she asked me what my spirit animal was and I said "A T-Rex, with lightning coming out of it." Which to me is funny both inside and outside of dream world but she didn't find it as entertaining. She did not call me back and I was like man I knew I shouldn't have said that..

...See more @Amanda84 @RunningMachine @Ailuralove8tear9 @LadyInSilence Well, what to say.. I have a tendency to withdraw when I become overwhelmed. I had a lot going on in my personal life that was disheartening. The reason I had left here was because I thought I had revealed too much about myself (or told myself this). For what it's worth I did really miss you guys. I withdrew / isolated from everywhere entirely. I grew a pretty gnarly beard now (I think I'll finally shave it off Saturday). My therapist thinks I have a "Fearful Avoidant Attachment Style." I'm working on it. She suggested that I should come back, and that in general that the support was good for me.  Here's a beloved song about the desire for change: The Shins - New Slang [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGpAMPS_t8U&list=RDkGpAMPS_t8U&start_radio=1]
