2024-06-02 08:56:22 +0000 UTCHello guys 👋 I'm glad to hear aztro has gotten back to studying Japanese 🙂 How long of a break did you take, if you still remember? And was it hard to get back on the grind? 🤔 And nice to hear that mika is using Duolingo, since i also use it regularly to study russian and spanish ! Currently i have a 350 day streak, but before i went to Estonia's mandatory conscription/military service, i had a streak of over 900, and as much as i tried to keep my streak while in the military, there was one time where the phones of our entire company were taken away for a week (the justification the higher-ups gave us was that it was necessary so that the enemy could not track our location or something, even though all other companies near us kept their phones so i didn't really see the point... Yep, I'm still kinda mad about this, because i had to lose my 900+ Duolingo streak because of it!!😡) And one question i would like to ask mika is: thoughts on duolingo removing the comments system? Back in my day the comments section was a very useful tool for clearing up confusions about the grammar of a language or just making fun of silly sentences, but now all of that is removed because apparently it was too hard to moderate or something (stop whining, duolingo!) 🤦♂️ Muchas gracias afición for reading and answering my totally therapy related questions! 🙏 P.S. i might actually need therapy now that r/gooncaves has shut down 😢. I can't believe they're trying to erase Apandah's legacy!!!

2024-05-23 12:57:30 +0000 UTCThese summer nights make the campfire way more enjoyable and ready for marshmallow roasting, almost makes one forget about the blood sucking mosquitos and venomous bugs roaming around under the logs we sit on. Don't think about what might be crawling on you and focus on me. A while back someone pointed out I hold a spoon the wrong way and made me realize I hold it like a pencil when eating with it, my world shattered and came to realize I eat like I write which explains my handwriting. Have you two ever had someone point out something about you that you thought was normal but actually wasn't or did you steal from a convenience store at the age of 6 without telling anyone, living the rest of your days knowing you committed a crime that won't go away? P.S. Cows have a big ass ribcage like damn.

2024-05-18 19:39:33 +0000 UTCHey, I have a question for you guys. I've been having trouble with my gf. She is really my first one, and im starting hs next year and she is going to a different one. I really love her, but i feel like she doesn't really treat me well at all. And like, if i were to break up with her, I would be scared that she actually was treating me really good, or that I wouldn't be able to find someone else, so I need help. We almost have been dating for about a year now as well. Hope you can answer this and thank you

2024-05-17 19:57:52 +0000 UTCHey Aztro and Mika! I have two things to ask really quick, first being a question for Aztro: Do you regret getting a degree in something you don't actively pursue anymore? If so, what would you have done differently. The second question is more personal: I'm currently in a "situationship" to where both of our wants and needs have been expressed (I can't commit to anything right now because of my degree and she doesn't want to fully commit because she lives 50 miles away). She constantly wants to come see me but I advise against it because we are both always short on money. Should I be doing things differently in terms of spending more (trying for twice a week for a day) physical time with her even if it financially hurts me a little? Or should I wait it out and plan something special for both of us (Probably once every two weeks but make it a big day). Thank you guys for whatever advice you give!!

2024-05-15 06:31:00 +0000 UTCHey, I have two questions, The first one is kinda dark. I am a recovering drug addict and have been sober for about 3 months. I was diagnosed as clinically depressed since I was 15, started having anxiety and panic attacks multiple times a day in the last year before I graduated high school and started doing xans in the summer at 19, when it didn't stop after school (which I hoped it would). I stopped initially at the end of November. I've had a couple of relapses. The thing is that I have nothing to show for being sober. My mum and dad have taken all of my money, not allowed to drive because they think I am either going to kill myself driving to fast or get caught with drugs in my system. I feel as though being sober has only cost me everything and made my life worse. I have no job, no friends, no energy, had to quit my studies, no money, nothing makes me happy, stopped doing all my hobbies (even playing games) because it just makes me sad I have to do everything alone. And because I have no energy I don't do anything. I'm meeting therapists and getting help, but it does not help with my depression and suicidal thoughts. I stopped taking my antidepressants because they just made everything worse and feel a little better now. Still, all I can think of is getting high and getting my life together. I feel as though there is no point in being sober because of my energy loss, furthermore I am on the edge of ending my life. It is all I look forward to (except drugs obv). When I'm on drugs I stop feeling depressed and my anxiety is gone. The only reason I quit was because my tolerance got way too high and I feel that if I did it all again I would know exactly how to use it in a better way. I am turning 21 in august and when I was 18 I wasn't able to think I would get this far and my date has changed a lot but is currently 15 October this year. I've been watching a lot of successful recovering stories and I cannot relate to any of the positives. I know that I am still pretty early in my sobriety, but I feel exactly as I did before starting drug taking. Do you have any experience with addiction and if so what helped you stay sober and any tips for my situation? My second question is how do I come out as asexual to my parents and friends? I think I'm going to come out in early June (u know y), first to my parents, and then post an Instagram story. This feels like something I have to do to feel less depressed and able to open up to people, cause I have been hiding my feelings for many many years. Thanks //JJ

2024-05-14 15:57:15 +0000 UTChi mika and aztro! first, i just wanted to say, i love all the content the sleep deprived gang posts. my bf and i have been binging y’all for the past few weeks. i actually subscribed to the patreon just for sleep deprived therapy time (although the other benefits are super nice) :)! i thought of a question ive been really worrying about lately. recently, i have become a very small time content creator. i am disabled and not able to have a job, so i spend a lot of time on growing my platform. while i have found some success so far my problem is, i don’t seem to know when to take time off from working. i feel like it is starting to take a toll on my mental health, and sapping the joy it was giving me. i am always thinking/worrying about it now but i fear that if i take too much time to myself, i will lose any momentum i have. it doesn’t help that im a chronic workaholic as well. i figured since you both are amazing creators, you might have an interesting perspective on this. thank you both <3

2024-05-11 01:09:18 +0000 UTChi guys! thanks so much for answering my question, your advice definitely helps a lot :) i want to explain the confines of the play because i think it’s funny and dumb. we were doing a production of get thee back to the future (back to the future written in shakespearean script) and because marty and doc had so many lines, we split up the parts so that at all times there were 2 marty’s and 2 docs on stage, but it wasn’t like there were two docs and marty’s in the play, it’s like one marty was the real marty and the other marty was the inside monologue of marty. anyway, i played inside marty (which was awful), and as part of my role, i had to at one point cuddle with my ex bsf.. for some reason. still not sure why marty was cuddling with his inner monologue, but hey. have a great day guys, hope this story is funny to yall
