It finally occurred to me to find a community on Reddit...and I already have something for y'all...

Being able to chat about my brain doing the bipolar things with people that are going through it, witnessing it, etc. always made sense but I've always been afraid. I never did fit in much in my life, so I guess subconsciously I figured this would be no different. What actually sparked me to join is what this post is actually about...

I AM SO ANNOYED WITH MY MANIC STATE TODAY!

I'm grateful that I have some meds to curb things so I can realize what's going on and stop myself before things go off the rails, but I'm very excited to meet with my old psychiatrist to go back to what worked before. She was wonderful. She listened and I finally got the proper diagnosis and it felt like I had all the decision-making power in my treatment because of how she presented things. She gave the facts, and welcomed any question I could come up with, and her professional recommendation was absolutely just that, a recommendation. I ended up following those recommendations, but I felt comfortable doing so and Luke it was entirely my choice. She saved me before and I'm so grateful that she's willing to be there for me again.

PLUS MY ADHD HAS BEEN RUNNING RAMPANT AND THE MANIA IS NOT HELPING ME.

I'm going to post this regardless of my newly found reluctance just in case anyone needs to see that they're so truthfully not alone and that it takes time and that every step is a milestone that should be celebrated.

So my venting will end with my upcoming milestones for getting back on track with meds and a new therapist entering the ring a couple days later. The fact that those appointments are there because I made the move is huge and I am sharing with anyone that accidentally looks my way. I'm so happy, because I'm not alone.

We're not alone.

Let's do this!

P.S. I went wild so the flair probably doesn't match, but I'm avoiding editing because this is what we're dealing with and it's not my fault, just something I have to learn to manage and live with in a healthy way.

When people ask why I play romhacks...

This is Emerald Legacy Enhanced btw. Exclsior added following for the first pokemon in your party and since starting almost 200 hours ago I've been going crazy with screenshots! I love seeing my little homies--and sometimes very big homies--walking with me. It brings me so much joy. Thank you again to the original crew on Legacy and to Exclsior and all the other devs that worked on their individual features that he compiled. <3

I beat the E4 this morning >!--and after that I ran to the trick house to get my Eevee only to be pleasantly surprised by its shiny status--!< and I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed all the features and changes in this hack. It's my first of the legacy hacks, but now there might be a chance I'll back track a bit and tackle Yellow and Crystal again despite trying to play the full series in generational order.

Great job to everyone involved in these projects. Thank you for this!
