Ah! Glad to hear that. Yeah, starting new meds can be rough for the first while. Especially if you're experiencing side effects (which in my experience at least vastly diminished over time). Good luck, and I hope you're able to start getting some better sleep. That'll make a huge difference once possible.

If you can't sleep and are trying to kill time anyway, why not look into something like mindfulness meditation? It might help you keep some of those anxious thoughts in check to the point where you can actually focus on something to take your mind off of whatever is causing your issues.

I'm sure it's not for everyone, but it helped me a lot when I was at my worst.

Also, you indicate that your anxiety and depression are due to some personal issues (which it sounds like will no longer be an issue in a month). If I'm understanding that correctly, that sucks for the time being but I'm glad to hear it has an expiration date. If those are feelings you deal with chronically, however, and you have the means to do so, I highly suggest trying to find professional help. The right meds can make an absolute world of difference, and talk therapy can help you straighten out how you approach those feelings.

Whatever route you take, I hope this passes for you soon and you start to feel so much better. Those feelings suck, but life can absolutely get better.

I think this might fall under "cruel and unusual punishment" for his cellmate. Imagine having to live in a tiny room with this blowhard.

I replied the same thing to another comment, but I had thought it locked down the whole library rather than just the one game being played. I could have sworn I ran into that issue but it's been a long time since I tried it do I suppose I misremembered.

Ooooooh. I was under the mistaken impression that your whole library was locked down, not just the one game. Good to know!

Well now I wish I had eaten more.

Maybe the rumor of edible packing peanuts is a more widespread legend among punks than anyone would have guessed.

I was under the impression that if someone is playing a game from your library you can't access it unless you boot them out (or you put steam in offline mode, meaning no updates or multiplayer for the duration). Is that no longer true?

Jesus Christ. I just saw the body of your post which implies that this was something you had to pay for. Were you by chance the victim in a prank show?

Growing up there was this punk house in my town I spent a lot of time at. For some reason they had a giant bag of packing peanuts, and someone said they were edible. We proceeded to eat a fair number of them. Not like a ton, but probably a few each. Definitely more styrofoam than a person should eat.

There was also a small trampoline in the living room and I remember one day where it was declared acceptable to nut-punch each other. Just adding that to give context for the collective genius at work there.

Anyway, I guess that was my body's introduction to microplastic.

No worries! I just shot you a DM being that this thread is already so long. It's the first I've sent on this platform, so let me know if you don't end up receiving it.

If people are happy, who will make our memes???
