I loved playing magic so much in the 90s. I quit and when I looked back at the mid 2010s the game was unrecognizable, so I never tried to come back. Thanks for the fun memories. People hated playing against my blue counterspell deck. I understand now.
In my case, the main driver was disappearing songs. I hate it when I have a great playlist or collection of albums and some of them mysteriously disappear without notice. Or worse, they get replaced with a different version.
sigh so back to CDs we go… luckily second hand discs are dirt cheap, and even new albums are quite cheap (inflation-wise) compared to their prices in the 90s
Maybe if you post a pic we can provide with more info. A vet visit never hurts, but it may be something harmless and you can save the cat some stress from the vet
This is a good write up. Thanks for sharing. I use “hide my email” sometimes and it’s important to know that it’s possible to find the real address behind it.
Good advice on this thread, but the only one that will work for you is: find a good therapist.
A good therapist is one that not only understands your issue, but also understands you, and is able to guide you in a way that works for you. Not all people will be healed by using the same methods, and the main task of a good therapist is to find the one that clicks for you.
I would tell what worked for me, but it may not be useful. But the previous step worked: I found a good therapist which told me what I had to do.
(In case you’re already talking to an LLM: please don’t. I compared my therapist’s advice with those of an LLM -with a good prompt and all cautions observed- but the LLM didn’t “get” me and its advice was useless and sometimes outright wrong)
Edit: after reading some more replies, some people recommend taking drugs (legal or illegal). DON’T. The wrong drug will fuck you up. This includes antidepressants. Wait until a good therapist prescribes them for you. If the therapist and the GP disagree, follow the therapist’s advice. In my case this was critical as it helped me find the right medication and later quit it successfully - which is as important if not more than taking it.
