haha, you're welcome! I don't want to give you bad advice or anything. For me, distracting works like this: I distract myself from the issue -> I realise that nothing happened from the issue -> the issue persists with me distracting myself at the time -> I continue to realise that nothing is coming from the issue -> I become comfortable after repeatedly experiencing nothing bad from the issue -> I have overcome the issue

Like sleeping with the baseball bat, over time, after nothing happening, no break ins around me or other activity, I realised that I was probably just overreacting.

I forgot to mention that I had a similar problem with a fear of leaving my house because I thought if I left, someone would break in and rob me. I used to lock my bedroom door as an extra security measure, (and lock the front door of the house of course). After a while of nothing happening, I started leaving my bedroom door unlocked.

edit: basically as long as I don't actively think/worry about the issue, I calm down.

Hey everyone! Just got home from the doctors again!! kicks doctors office Going to have to do some chores soon though :(

Hows every feel about the new news from today? :p

and I hope everything is okay! If you need to talk you can always smail me!! ^-^ hugs

EDIT: I just skimmed over some post to kinda catch up. I have severe anxiety a lot and suprisngly social anxiety. I just got put back on medicine for it today. But I too have had to do different things to cope with them. If you need advice on it I can smail you later for things I do once I get the house picked up and dinner cooked! ^-^

xD which new news? forum shop? kicks it or the bank interest being removed? I'm neutral about the bank interest leaving but I think the people throwing fits over it because they can't get their free giant chunk of sP anymore, is ridiculous. Staff have been pushing for sP sinks and getting rid of sP for ages, they should know better.

Forum shop... I'm never going to catch up xD! Thankfully the prices on the new items seem low compared to what we've had.

Both!! xD I dont like but one of the new forum shop items!! xD I was hoping for a super cute wearable!!

and I agree with you on the sp thing. People need to get over it and spend their sp and have fun!! xD

I got a question... why are we all naked? o.0

We're comfortable and overly affectionate here ;P

Hey guys Sorry I haven't responded for the past few days.. A friend's mom died yesterday morning :(

What did I miss? :P

For me, I continuously check areas in my house that are lit during the night. Total darkness, to me, is comforting while light seeping into through a window or underneath a door is unnerving. Perhaps if I override my thoughts of an intruding peeking in through these places, I can find peace at night.

I would love to hear advice from as many sources as possible. As it is growing late, I would prefer to discuss the matter further tomorrow as to not interrupt your evening.

Oh no, sorry to hear that :( I hope your friend is okay, I know they will be comforted by a great friend such as yourself (it is your namesake after all!). Not much, just plot I guess, and no more interest :/

Anyone still up? :3

Yeah he's doing ok, just gotta get through it :/

I tried that rowboat game and I always end up with 0sP at the end.. I don't really get it :P & I saw the post :(

Good evening.

Indeed, but with support from you, friends and family, he'll get through it, though it must be very difficult to lose your mother :/

Good evening :) Sorry if I wasn't very helpful or sensitive early :/

We're comfortable and overly affectionate here ;P

I can get down with that ;)

Of course!!! We can pick up tomorrow!! I would love to help you out as best as i can ❤ ^-^

I am sorry to hear that. I know it is very tough :( I hope he gets through it okay~

How was your day? ^-^

My day was largely unproductive until I thrashed out a resume before I went to the cinema with a friend, then had my bf edit it and give me suggestions; was worried the deadline (which is today) might have been at 00:01, but its later in the day at least! So that's a relief :P Wanna have it edited and done by midday at the latest! And yours? :)

What did I tell you about that unproductive-ness? :p Well its progress xD

Mine was okay! Nothing fun today. So glad tomorrow is Friday though~ ^-^

I appreciate both of your efforts greatly and wish you both a pleasant night!

Hey! I've done it, just need to edit and improve :P Indeed, should all be fine :3 Thanks for kicking me up the butt when I needed it, I'd appreciate it again in future XD

Good, at work again today? I bet! Gonna party? :P

Any time, no worries at all :) Good night hun, I hope you sleep better tonight.
