Is anyone else currently in school or college?
If so what year are you? What do you enjoy studying?
What do you despise about school?
Are you also procrastinating hardcore and spending all your free time on Voltra instead of doing school work?

It's not just me... right? >.>

I just started my first real semester at AMU (American Military University) also known as APUS (American Public University System.
I'm taking an English course, and a really lame Psychology course right now. We're only in week 3 and I'm already procrastinating. >.>
In Oct. I start College Algebra and Planetary Science- which I'm so excited for. <3
I'm hoping to achieve a BA in English w/ a Concentration in Writing.
Please send me all your luck, prayers, positive vibes, genius math demons etc.
Seriously anything helps and I'm gonna need all the help I can get. T^T

Maybe 5 or 6 times. It wasn't so bothersome the first few times- I assumed it was a time-out, alpha thing. But it became more bothersome when I started losing my forum posts/ topics, which has happened three times so far. It hasn't happened at all today so far. :D

Do you mean fusion as in this? If so that could make for a super interesting plot. <3
I agree the characters should be any age, so people can play as a young trainer, poke breeder, gym leader etc.- whatever they want. I think it makes roleplay's a little more interesting if everyone isn't the same age.
I also think we should decide on what region/map we wanna use or if we want to combine them or make one up?
Maybe discuss what lvl pokemon and stage in evolution we are allowed to have, how many pokemon we have etc.; I assume some of that will depend on what role we're gonna play.

@FuuChan: Lol, sometimes I feel that way too. But I'm trying not to brood too much lately. It's super draining to be upset and feel bad all day long and I already lack the energy to do anything. D:
Posted in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) Posted 7 years ago
@dragoness129: I was going to make a D&D topic earlier today!! But alas, I don't play because my husband and I have no one to play with.... T^T Also, we've only played once with people who really did not want to take the time to teach us. We have a lot of 4th Ed. books and things, but they are for some higher level characters and I've been told (by the people we played with before) that no-one plays 4th edition and our books are useless. T^T
I would love to maybe form a group and play online? (That's what I wanted to make a post about.) But I honestly don't know how or where to do so.

@fuuchan: I tend to brood a lot too. However I can't even find the energy or joy in doing the things I love at times and that just makes me feel like even more garbage than I already am. ;n;
@miss kitty: I feel like you just described me to a T! I get really nervous trying to do things outside of the house, and even though I have a license and can drive, it causes me a lot of anxiety and I sometimes blank too. I loooove ASMR I use it a lot to help me sleep or just to relax. <3 Who are some of your favorite ASMR'tists?
@neko: I've literally been wearing the same pajamas with ratted nasty hair for like over a week. Lol. I understand your struggle. >.>
@opaldeerling: I like your suggestion of eating your favorite snack and watching something funny. When I'm really sad I go to youtube to find funny videos to watch and force my chi to snuggle. She doesn't like it so much lol, so my husband and I call it "the snuggle struggle" where we hold her and love her and she anxiously awaits being set free. XD

I think it's been happening after I click submit or click any link to another page on the site. I had it up for hours the other day without it ever asking for me to re-login (even though i was afk for most of that time lol) but it's been asking alot when I was literally just on another page and was being active.
Posted in Randomly asked to Login Posted 7 years ago
So this has happened a few times where I'll be on the site doing something or typing out a new topic and suddenly I'm taken to the Voltra page where it asks for my e-mail and key again and/or I'm taken to the homepage and asked to login with my username and password again. It happened just now and after I entered my key and email I had to re-enter my normal login info as well. Is this just because we are in alpha and need to continually type in our alpha key or is there maybe a login-bug? I just hate having to re-type some of my forum and topic posts because this keeps happening. D:

@Wisteria: Thank you! -hugsback- I know it can be difficult struggling with depression or anxiety and I just want everyone to know they aren't alone.

The only thing I can share so far is that I recently started taking low doses of 5-HTP and L-Tyrosine. They are basically mood boosting supplements that you can find in the vitamin section of any local grocery store or GNC and it's recommended if you start one, take the other as well; they work together and balance each other out. My husband and I did a lot of research before I started taking them- though it's always best to ask your doctor before taking new supplements and medications.

I've noticed a little bit of a difference, which is why I'm still continuing to take them, but it's not nearly as substantial as I'd hoped for. Also, I've noticed the 5-HTP keeps me up every single night, since I've started taking it. Lol.

Depression and anxiety are something a lot of us struggle with- me included.
Recently I've been making a better effort at trying to combat it.
I thought it would be really cool if everyone could share tips, advice or holistic remedies.
So, what are some ways you deal/cope with depression and/or anxiety?
Has anything worked for you?
Feel free to share your personal story, but please also be aware of possibly triggering others.

*Note: Also, please know that if you ever are in a very dark/bad place mentally that it's okay to seek help.
I highly encourage you to see someone (a therapist or doctor) if your depression or anxiety seems to difficult for you to handle.
