Good evening, everyone!

I'm currently watching some football on Amazon Prime Video. They're showing several football matches on it this week.

@Jirachu: Cool! What are your favourite Taylor Swift songs?

@Melcharge: Glad to hear you're feeling better. And yeah, it might be best to write some fiction for a little while if you're bored of memoirs.

@Slooroo: Welcome back to forums!

I like so many choosing is hard xD I am listening to her Christmas album right now

Hi, everyone!

I've been doing alright. I'm still hyperfocused on reading. xD Though I'm trying to get back into Pokémon too.

Renton replaced his old 3DS battery so we can play 3DS games together easier. He also bought used copies of SoulSilver and Alpha Sapphire from a couple local nerd stores. AS wasn't too much, but SS was really expensive, even though it was loose. He also bought a used Pokéwalker and replaced the battery, and he got it working again, which is really cool.

I recently got a couple new Switch games as sort of an early Christmas gift to myself, Detective Pikachu Returns and a game I wanted to try called Coffee Talk. I haven't tried them yet since I haven't been playing games much lately, but I definitely want to play them once I can focus on games more again.

I also have a vinyl record of the 20th anniversary version of Fallen, which is an Evanescence album. I haven't opened it yet -- I kind of wonder if it'll be worth a lot later if I keep it sealed? -- but I might want to display it in my office somewhere. It also comes with an Amy Lee poster.

What up, y'all! What's going on?

First of all, let me give a heartfelt apology to those I wronged in the past. To be honest with you, I've been through it all and I had 2 mental breakdowns, and struggling with my mental health since. When it comes to mental health, it's not even easy to control it or stabilize it and I learned it the hard way. Sorry if this sounds scary to you, but it's the truth.

Always be yourself, always be you

Thank you for the apology I know what it’s like to struggle with mental health…..I also struggled with my own for many years, too. I am getting stronger now, though. I know mental health in general is a bit of a battle for all of us in at least some way. Just letting you know I care for what you have been through. You are strong. It’s gonna be okay

[NerdiestKen]

Thanks, Jirachu.

That's understandable. Mental health issues are always a struggle, and there's nothing wrong with struggling and needing help. I myself have bipolar 1 disorder (and have had various misdiagnoses before that) and I've been struggling with my mental health for nearly twenty years. I'm glad you're feeling better, and don't be afraid to PM me if you want to talk. I'm no professional, but mental health is a topic that means a lot to me and I'm always trying to expand my understanding of it.

[Jirachu]

Yesterday I struggled with mental health a bit too but cos of my optimism goal and also them wanting me to just focus on positives at check in tomorrow at day program, I will make sure to just focus on the good parts Like how fun my new colouring book is ^_^

And also now I know getting past hating boredom should be a goal of mine too. Yesterday was a day of learning. That’s not a bad thing. Plus, I deleted Instagram, so now I have to learn stuff more outside seeing peoples feed posts in general now. Hopefully as time passes learning will be more and more peaceful, since I know stress can be a health concern.

How's everyone doing tonight?

[Jirachu]

How's everyone doing tonight?

A bit sniffly. Trying to stay calm. Neighbors gave me a Covid test to do in the morning.

Praying this is just a cold and not Covid. And, hopefully, my dad will still take me to dc if it’s a cold cos it would be difficult for me if the trip was canceled I wanna see the family…and get away from that difficult neighbor……and also get some money cos they always give financial gifts and it comforts me to have that because I have too much anxiety to hold any kind of job.

Also, it would just be wonderful to see family in general getting free coffee at breakfast is fun, too! (I LOVE coffee <3) And other fun free stuff, like free fruit^^ yeah…I don’t wanna miss out T_T

But this does feel more like it’s a cold because Covid felt different. While as this really feels like a cold I am still testing too though cos that’s important to.



On a happy note, uhhhh…my new hk colouring book is fun And I recently had a funny dream about my brother eating all my chocolate on me xD

Welcome back to the forum! Thanks for the apology.

Sorry to hear you're still struggling with mental health. If you need any support with that, then I'm sure plenty of people here will be happy to help.

And, @Jirachu. (She made a post on another forum confirming she does have COVID) I'm so sorry to hear you caught COVID right before you were due to go on the trip. That is such a shame to hear you're missing out on it. I hope you have a quick recovery, and if you need anyone to talk to during these times, then we're all happy to help.

[NerdiestKen]

How's everyone tonight? Me, I had a nice nap and did a bit of writing.

[Jirachu]

@NerdiestKen, I am doing great What do you like to write about?

@J-ster, I wanted to actually stay home, so getting sick…..didn’t bother me at all xD That bus just seemed scary to me o.o;;; But thank you all the same Being congested and stuffy still isn’t very fun, anyways, even if I am happy the trip was canceled.

[NerdiestKen]

@NerdiestKen, I am doing great What do you like to write about?

Well, I do vintage Chicago TV guide scheds since I have an extensive collection, write questions for the trivia games I got back in hosting, do fanfiction work, do historic events from 1984 to 1993 from the 9 world almanacs I own, and probably do some fantasy writing stuff for the first time.
