Congrats! Have fun with your renewed computer!
If you're still in public school, you can go to the nurse's office or someone you trust and tell them that you're having trouble in life because you're anxious and you'd like some help. They might be able to get you a diagnosis. The important thing is that if it's causing a problem in more than one area of your life, like school, home, social, etc, then it's probably something they can diagnose and help you manage.

If you're in college, you should be able to get help at the health center, though if you're on your parent's health insurance and not the school's, they may limit the amount of care they can provide for mental health. They should still be able to refer you, though.

Also, I can understand being upset at your dad's response. It sounds like he was telling you that you're weak, even if that's not what he meant. Anxiety doesn't make you weak, though, and it is certainly something you can manage and learn to reduce its impact on your life over time.
Posted in I just want restful sleep Posted 4 years ago
I hope it all works out. I have trouble with sleep, and always have since I was a kid, but I generally attribute it to ADHD and my inability to switch off at night

I've tried various things over the years with sporadic and fleeting success, but I'm pretty sure if I could figure out how to reliably get my brain to stop paying attention to everything around me at night, it would sort itself out. I know exercise during the day helps me go to sleep later, and lots of small habits like that. Keeping a balanced and healthy physical and mental life goes a long way toward making my sleep restful, but I've been struggling with that for a while, so I'm just trying to get back into some better habits.

I ate the last of some yuzu gummy candies I was given on wednesday, and now I miss them. The candies, I mean.

Cute and creepy are also things I love. I like fall foods a lot, like pie and squash and apples and cornbread....actually I just like foods a lot anyway.
Posted in Figurines! (and figmas) Posted 4 years ago
I collect Star Wars 6" figures, and I have some tiny St. Seiya statues from years ago. I also collect Calico Critters and tiny dolls, and I love to make rooms and sets for them, but I stopped collecting for several years and got rid of a lot of those accessories, so now I'm starting fresh.

I also collect re-ments sets for accessories and because they're so cute

I keep looking at Figuarts Sailor Jupiter, but most of my other figures look realistic, so I keep not getting her, since I think she'd look out of place. Sometime I might just buy more Azone picco neemo bodies (I have one already) and make my own Sailor Jupiter.

Do you ever watch videos where collectors make rooms and accessories for their nendoroids and figures? I love the detail and dedication that goes into that kind of thing
Posted in Which site theme do you use? Posted 4 years ago
@Totalanimefan: I chose the Vibrance theme, because it's so happy and cute. I figured it doesn't hurt to have happy things around to help me feel happier

Congrats!

For some reason, I'm imagining it like your computer went to the computer spa and is coming back all relaxed and energized.

...I didn't even know I could change the site theme until I saw your thread. Now I'm gonna go take a look

Welcome!

I hope you post photos of your textile crafts, and when you make that froggy chair from AX.

And embroidered sweaters are super fun to wear, although I don't have any anymore, but I do have a sweater with a giant sparkly tiger face on it, and tiger striped sleeves that I love to wear.
I don't buy tickets for concerts because I already think they're expensive, but now I really wont be buying any.
Posted in I made some bread Posted 4 years ago
@Tsundererra: Maybe it depends on the type of dough whether a hook works or not, idk. You let it rise to double its size the first time, then you punch it down, divide it into loaves, put it in the pans, and let it rise a second time, and then bake it. Some bread you just let it rise once, but that's usually bread you don't have to knead.

@PurpdaBurpPurp: It did smell amazing

@kegs: No matter what my pets' names are, I end up calling them mr/miss/sir, etc. combined with a descriptor, like fluffybutt, or a variety of silly nicknames

It's cute and fluffy! I like that you're going with naming her Neith. I'm glad your coworker surrendered her to you, so she can have a nicer life.
