 | Sorry for bad grammar and spelling errors, I'm swedish with dyslexia. Tldr in the end. So, without trauma dumping my heart out here on this sub, I just wanted to say that this game has helped me start to heal and handle my newly stamped trauma. If you don't wanna read, I've put it behind the spoiler thingy. The 1st of August, I got very sick and was put in a coma for 7 days, nobody know still what the hell happened, but the neurologists think it was a combo of heatstroke, migraine and my first epileptic seizure (tho there is no tendencies for epelepsi), so basically a boiled brain. I had very real, vivid, and lucid nightmares about being buried alive during this horrid coma, I couldn't wake up. Imagine sleep paralyzes, but in a dream, the brain was awake, but nothing else... and for those days, I was in that coffin of my own imagination, I thought I was either dead or like I wrote: kidnapped and buried alive. This has given me extreme anxiety and a newly found phobia for darkness. As soon as that anxiety kicks in, I fully believe I will get ill and die, and we are talking hand and feet numbing, tunnelvision, hyperventilating death anxiety... However, I started playing this game, and it has helped me to relax, not stress, talk with nice people, and honestly, I love this game to bits! It was pure luck, too, that I started because if Ascension Wow had not gotten canceled and killed off, I would probably continue with that.. Here is my Lalafell and my good pal Typhon (always thought it was Typhoon). If you see a lala running around at the Golden Saucer, dancing with a goblin outfit on, at the Odin server, say hi, it's probably me! I love how friendly everyone is, and as a golden rule, if people are friendly to me, I'm friendly back! So say hi, I don't bite, but I may ask for Lala-Uppies! LALI-Ho! Tldr: Got sick at the start of August, was put in a coma for a week,started playing the game at the start of September as some therapy, I absolutely love it to bits, say hi if you see me at the Golden Saucer. submitted by /u/TheSwedishWizard [link] [comments] |
