Ever just feel... exhausted? Or feel like you've worked so hard and it may all be for nothing?

@mastertdi @metaltao Glad I'm not the only one. Well, not glad. You know what I mean. xD
Just school piling up and I don't know how to handle school, work, and hobbies. I've not been able to play games or anything, which helps me blow off steam (pun intended). When things get this bad, my anxiety/depression meds aren't enough to stave off the panic attacks and crying episodes, but that's just something I have to deal with. xD
Anyway it'll work out. <3Thursday, 06-Nov-14 22:39:37 UTC from web-
@theanneh I get ya. I don't even know if I'm actually depressed yet, but I'm (kinda) starting counselling tomorrow so hopefully I can get some form of help for my sucky feelings.
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 22:42:07 UTC from web-
@mastertdi If you need anyone to vent to, I'm totally here. And I don't say that lightly. Not to brag, but I was a psych major for a whole two years. Yeah. That's credentials right there. xD
But really, I've been through some bananas I won't bore you with, but I'm literally one of the least judgmental people you'll find, barring a few subjects that mostly just tick me off. So if yah need to vent and don't want to do so publicly, let me know. Alternatively, if you want to learn how to deal with mental issues in unhealthy ways, such as avoidance and humor, then I am also the person to come to. ;3
Counselling helps if you get a great councilor. I hope you do! C:Thursday, 06-Nov-14 22:48:11 UTC from web-

@theanneh It's a pretty swell thing, especially when people come to you specifically to feel better~
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:00:18 UTC from web-
@mastertdi Yeah. I'm that person for a lot of people and I'm totally ok with that. It's not always the best place to be but I want to be there for others. I've made good internet friends being that person, though a lot of people tend to drop me once they get over the issues they're dealing with. That's fine though, as long as I helped. :D
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:18:38 UTC from web-
@theanneh That's a great attitude to have. I say I'm there for all my Internet friends, and I like to think that's true though I'm not the best with words and such. Admittedly if they dropped me I would probably break down or something lmao

@mastertdi Enough people have dropped me irl and on the internet so that it still hurts, but it doesn't break me down too much anymore. I have difficulty initiating convos and I just plain forget to contact people and that makes them think I'm avoiding them. But if everyone just had KiK and talked to me there, I doubt any lack of communication would happen. xD
You don't have to be good with words to be good at listening! :DThursday, 06-Nov-14 23:50:27 UTC from web-
@theanneh I could probably be better at starting conversations but this site and Skype groups make it easier to keep updating without having to bother a particular person so it works well. And yeah I guess but I feel a little bad when someone's venting at me and I don't respond (but again, groups help with that)
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:53:53 UTC from web-
@mastertdi Yeah, I understand that. It's cool getting to know people in small groups like this. Everyone knows everyone, so everyone can be friends. In bigger groups you get lost in the crowd. :C
Friday, 07-Nov-14 00:05:32 UTC from web-
@theanneh Oh yeah, this place has had fairly consistent activity since I joined, which is nice. I left for half a year and when I came back I still felt right at home.

@theanneh Yeah, when someone spots something they don't like, or are in... That very scary personality, they end up picking on someone, usually starts mild, but, it gets worse. And, hey don't always pick on the newbies... I try to help them. But, I am not good at talking about things as one can see.
Friday, 07-Nov-14 00:40:34 UTC from web-
@metaltao I'm not good at picking on people that I don't know, so you don't have to worry about me. I'm not good at drama anyway unless I'm seriously provoked. Just know that if I call you a jerk or a nerd or a murdock or a f***face or what have you, it's a term of endearment and not at all meant to be insulting. c:

@theanneh I've come and gone from a lot of sites but even during the periods where I wasn't as active on here I always managed to keep coming back, and I'd like to think that speaks wonders of the people here.
Friday, 07-Nov-14 00:26:57 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal It sure does. I drop a lot of sites, myself, but that's because they get too big. I like being semi-known. I feel very alone on a lot of sites, including my favorite one (flight rising).
Friday, 07-Nov-14 00:38:23 UTC from web-
@theanneh Yeah, we have users come and go but for the most part it's a tight knit community of regulars. Sort of like some small rural town where everybody knows everybody.
Friday, 07-Nov-14 00:44:01 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal Small rural towns are the best. Especially small rural towns in Maine.
Friday, 07-Nov-14 00:45:23 UTC from web -
@northernnarwhal Yeah, like the town I live in but with less forced religion! :D
Another forum I really love is wayyy slower than this site but I've stuck around for the same reason. Small community, fun people to talk to with common interests.Friday, 07-Nov-14 00:46:22 UTC from web-

@theanneh Mate, it is not something you have to deal with alone. We are here, and I assume you have friends to help you. And, may I suggest, you could always tell your teachers this. Be frank about it if you so desire. :P Do you like Tea? And, what games do you play? Besides, that anxiety will be over soon. It goes away, the work load will go away. Over time, things get done or get finished. Or, disappear. You will find a time when you won't have to work so hard any more.
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 22:42:28 UTC from web-
@metaltao I know. That's why I'm talking to you guys.
Unfortunately... I have one friend where I live. And I'm currently applesed at him so that's out. I do vent to my significant other over Skype (LDR but at least I get to see him once a month-ish), but our schedules have not been matching up as of late. xD He's been keeping me sane, though.
Yeah, I drink tea. I have this wonderful Imperial green tea that I absolutely LOVE but it's currently hiding from me. xD
I play a bit of everything. Mostly I play TES games. My logged times are high enough to be embarrassing... and that's just on Steam. I haven't even been able to total up hours on my consoles. What are you talking about? I don't have a copy of Oblivion/Skyrim for my 360, ps3, and PC. I don't have a problem. >_>
I like cards too, and get a PTCGO game in daily.
I know they will. c: I'm doing my best to look on the bright side of things. Unfortunately, though, the anxiety never goes away. It just chooses a new target. xD Oh well!Thursday, 06-Nov-14 22:57:47 UTC from web-
@theanneh Try Screaming into a pillow. I heard that works! XD No, but seriously, that is insane! The amount of games you play? I am so jelluy! I am locked to RDN all day. It gets in the way of that. But it was a bit worth it. I love Half life and RTS games. Do you play any?
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:01:46 UTC from web-
@metaltao That doesn't work too well for me. xD I think it's more of a movie thing.
I... really like games. xD I play EVERYTHING. I am a jack of all nerds, master of none. ;3
Hee. RDN is a nice place to be. I really like everyone I've spoken to on here. I very much want to be friends with all of you. Hopefully that will happen! :D
I've played Halflife! :D RTS is the one genre I'm not well versed in at all, unless you count CIV 5. Oh, I played Halo Wars... but that's just RTS light.Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:22:14 UTC from web-
@theanneh #: I am your friend! :3 Am I your friend? :O
4: OH yeah, Halo Wars Is RTS light. I mean, I was disapointe when I could't build any where I want. But, it is fun None the less, especcially when you get two scarabs. XD THAT kiwi IS DOPE!Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:26:06 UTC from web-
@metaltao I consider you a friend but I didn't know if you thought of me as one so ty and yes. ;;
LOL. I liked the game but maaaan it's just not my genre. xDThursday, 06-Nov-14 23:46:51 UTC from web-
@theanneh AHAH! Full on RTSs are insanely fun! I am not good my self either mate! XD
And, since you mentioned horror games above. I am a huge wimp. :LThursday, 06-Nov-14 23:48:16 UTC from web-

@theanneh *intrigue intensifies* You don't say? I wish I had that bravery or determination to play the horror games... THEY HAVE SUCH GOOD PLOTS SOMETIMES MATE! Like, damn. ;~;
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:53:07 UTC from web-
@metaltao *Whispers* I like BDSM I'm just gonna put that out there now. xD
Why don't you try light horror? Games that have the ambiance of horror, but no real shocking scenes or jump-out scares.
Eversion is a cute horror platformer you may like. If you have an ipad, The Room and it's sequel are horror-esque puzzle games. Yumei Nikki is an adventure game that is not scary in the slightest, but the ambiance is there. It's pure exploration and has no plot... except what you fill in from what you see around you. Fan theories are everywhere with that game omg. The Path is another good one. I have more if you're interested.
Def check out Eversion and Yumei Nikki. They are wonderful.Friday, 07-Nov-14 00:04:19 UTC from web

@metaltao Horror games are more fun when you're a wimp. There's no point playing them if they don't scare you.
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:52:52 UTC from web-
@fyf Not so much so that you hide in a corner in the game and sit there jumping at every little ambient noise you hear. (WEll, maybe it is a LITTLE fun. But, it is infuriating at mst. and mostlu annoying to be that scared.)
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:54:20 UTC from web-
@metaltao I rarely get /that/ scared. Even though I've played it many, many times, Silent Hill 2 still does that to me.
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:55:26 UTC from web-
@fyf Oh wiow. I am not alone. At least, at one point. It is mostly the fear of not being able to watch my back easily is whta does me in. I will slowly degrade into a fearful mess if I know the game has a slow mouse sensitivity and no sound specific locating. Like, hearing thigs behind you.
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:57:06 UTC from web-
@metaltao The camera angles in early Silent Hill games add so much to the horror. Have you played Silent Hill 3?
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:57:52 UTC from web-
@fyf No. But, I have actually wanted to. The story is supposed to be really good I heard, and, things with a lot of lore and stuff to read as I play is REALLY applesing awesome! I feel like a professor or like Metroid! And, reading makes me calm down, as well as thinking. SO, is there that in the games as well? *Chainsaw onehit kill*
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:59:18 UTC from web-
@metaltao Silent Hill 1-3 have really great stories and a lot of interesting lore and what not. It's better if you play Silent Hill before Silent Hill 3, since it's a direct sequel. Silent Hill 2 isn't really connected to the others, but it's also the best thing.

@metaltao The first one is probably the hardest to find. The second and third are in the HD collection for PS3 and Xbox 360 which features a nice new voice cast, including Troy Baker and the person who does Yukiko's voice in PErsona 4

@fyf Yesyesyesyesyesyesyes. I love horror games, though I tend to get freaked out. I'm going to start streaming them with a friend so I can finish them! :D Which are your favorites?
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:47:41 UTC from web-
@theanneh Most Silent Hill games, Clocktower, Amnesia, Rule of Rose, Haunting Ground, Eternal Darkness... I love a lot of horror games.
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:48:31 UTC from web-
@fyf OMG I love all of those games. HOW GREAT IS RULE OF ROSE! I'm working my way through it and I love love love it! But it's one of those games I only like playing cuddled up with my SO while he reads the guide when I get lost. xD
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:52:42 UTC from web-
@theanneh The fact that you know that game exists earns you a lot of points in my book. The fact that you know all those games I siad just makes yu awesome.
Thursday, 06-Nov-14 23:53:59 UTC from web-
@fyf tyty. ;3 I'm a sucker for psychological horror and ps2 games soooo. x3
The most fun livestream I ever watched was this dude playing through clocktower. It was so much fun.Friday, 07-Nov-14 00:07:03 UTC from web-
@theanneh I do love Clocktower. One of the pioneers of the genre. Might I ask, what's your favorite horror game?
Friday, 07-Nov-14 00:08:44 UTC from web-
@fyf I have to pick a favorite? Aaa I don't know! I can't choose! I'll have to go with Eternal Darkness because the sanity mechanic was grapesin' perfect.
Friday, 07-Nov-14 00:16:16 UTC from web-
@theanneh Hm, excellent choice. It's definitely one of my favorites that isn't Silent Hill related.
Friday, 07-Nov-14 00:25:36 UTC from web-
@fyf Dat sanity meter! The fourth wall breakage was what made me play it in the first place!
Friday, 07-Nov-14 00:37:33 UTC from web-
@theanneh I usually don't like fourth wall breakage but it's done really well in that game.
Friday, 07-Nov-14 00:38:07 UTC from web-
@fyf It all depends on how over the top it is.
Current deadpool? Get it away from me.
Game mechanics influencing the ambiance of the game by seemingly manipulating the vary thing you are using to play the game? Perfect.Friday, 07-Nov-14 00:40:41 UTC from web-
