Hey Dan thanks for checking on me. Got a lot going on that I’ve mentioned previously with more happening since then but I’m managing and I am okay. Hope all is well with you.

I've heard of it but never played it personally. But you're bound to have that one obscure that you love that no one else heard of.

For me its my life hahaha.

You're saying you love your life, right? ^^;

You know, the whole crashing the game on Classic Mode makes much more sense now.

That’s not a glitch that’s a reference to the game 

Might want to take a break from the screen and lie down for a bit. A glass of water would also help.

Any idea why?

@tailsBOOM! No, I just looked up at the clock hanging on the wall and suddenly felt woozy. I took @Strickerx5 advice and went to lie down.

Woke up this morning feeling back to normal. 👍

What's wrong?

We've all been there Dan.  Hopefully it works out

What happened??

Just keep hanging in there. If the person is ignoring you, they aren't worth your time.

To be clear, nothing has happened, yet. If the person in question is family, then not putting in the time to help them isn't an option either.

My dad is going to die of a heart attack and no amount of warnings in managing his diet is going to prevent it...

He hasn't had any kind of attack yet, he's just too casual about what he eats. Plus heart conditions are a part of his side of the family...

I see. If this is family, yeah, you can't leave him alone. You need to take some sort of action to force him to eat healthier, no matter what.

Confiscation, calling health services, whatever it takes.

Unfortunately I can relate. My dad is pretty much the same way but his lack of good physical selfcare has led him in the direction of high blood pressure which his side of the family has no history of. Probably the worse part though is that he acknowledges that he needs to change yet he still refuses. I hope your dad isn't being that bad and that you'll get through to him soon enough to make a difference.

Aw, don't say that! You got a lot of worthwhile thoughts in that mind of yours, buddy!

What do you mean?  We love hearing from you

I get that every now and then myself

Usually in my music moods

@tailsBOOM! It's pretty literal. What appears to be coming from the Sonic Movie is largely sounding "Bleh." Talking about it feels too boring and a little depressing. Can't really afford any new games and my RL is in a mess, which is also literal.

Trying to move out in the hopes that it'd make my parents lives easier has totally backfired and now my anxiety is at the highest it's ever been which resulted in total breakdowns that occurred several times last month. It's just another example of what a failure I am.

Just riding the waves of despair to see where it takes me.

So, for the sake of not being a killjoy, I simply don't mention this stuff. ^^;

You're not a failure.  You're one of the kindest, most thoughtful and friendly people on this website.  You'll adjust to living on your own.  It's rough, believe me, I know because I'm miles away in college and that's stressful in and of itself (For other reasons, kind of the opposite of your's tbh).  Living on your own for the first time is a very big change, and it takes time especially for us autistic people.   I'm here to talk to you if you need it.  I have to go for a while in a little bit, but once I'm back we can talk about this more if we need to.

Hey @DanJ86, while I unfortunately can't relate with what has caused your breakdowns I can at least say from experience that even if what you have to say is negative, there is value in saying it and getting it off of your chest. It won't solve anything on its own but it is definitely better then leaving it bottled up with no outlet for the energy that is affiliated with it. The fact that you have @tailsBOOM! here though who understands what it's like living on your own while on the spectrum and is willing to help is also a good thing for you.

So, while you may not have anything positive to say, there is knowledge and good that come out of sharing what is eating you up. Of course though just to clarify, I'm not saying dwell on it, but rather talk about so that way it can be examined and the energy attached to it can be alleviated. Otherwise, if that doesn't work you know you can always just ask to shoot the breeze with you about any number of subjects that you would rather talk about that make you happy. SSMB is here kind of for that very purpose and I know a number of us would be glad to lend an ear and our time to help you feel better.

Lastly, as for the movie, here's a way to look at it if you'd like;
Instead of dwelling on everything wrong with it (easier said than done I know) look at what good it could do. It could if it entertains people put a smile on many a person's face and that is a good thing. It may not be our cup of tea or even somewhat faithful to the source material but it still holds the two-fold purpose of making money and entertaining people and from what I've heard it has at least entertained some people already and that's a good thing. After all, people who have been entertained are more likely to helpful and kind simply by virtue of being in a good mood and that makes the world on a whole a better place for everyone.

Anyway, I'm rambling now but I hope you'll find a rhythm that makes your life comfortable and enjoyable while being sound in the knowledge that you're doing your best for yourself and those you care about. In the meantime us here at SSMB are here to lend an ear, a shoulder, or just be a distraction from life if you need us.

Sounds good!

Night, buddy!
