What's a time when you suddenly realized you stupidly or just a. Idently realized you've wrecking balled yourself into a bad migraine?
For me, it was vaccines. Normally, it's fine, but I have been in a highly sensitized state for weeks and got all the vaccines the doctor offered out of habit. When the shivers set in hours later, I knew I stressed my system out beyond recovery. Buckle up butter cup.
I am new to the migraine world. I am pretty tolerant and chill person. I am not one to fuss. I know life isnt easy for anyone and try to take mine in steide. But i am also pretty lucky. If I can just lay down and wait it out, that's what I hope for when it comes to a migraine.
This might sound crazy.
I have had exactly two brain stem aura migraines. I am terrified of these. That one might happen again. Having a "worse" (for me) means laying in a room, throwing up with visual distortions, and feels lucky comparatively to that horror show. Holy shit. How do something of you do it?
Like what the fuck. No to diminish aura migraines. Just mine are not that bad, like I dont have pain. They seriously a waiting a game.
I am waiting to see my neuro in a few weeks. But I have maxed out dosage on propranolol. Started tr...tripix. something. And have nurtec now. So the adventure beings.
This is some cosmic, one wish willow, possession bullshit. What's in my body?!
I am always working towards improving the way I do things on every level. I've seen on discord, and more prominently, Tumblr preset/precast characters/tropes types. I've always done open-ended casting until recently. I casted seeking a character that mirror my own, and suggested genre. Intentionally listing where they fall short so the other writer could see where they could really help in the plot. Where my guy would be most hopeless, they be the only hope. And it's been magical. And a little comical. I can definitely see why people cast bigger stories with a pre cast. I may try it with a looser approach. I always appreciated lots of creativity and freedom. But I am also really appreciating seeing hoping a little direction help.
I have finally found the right nitch for me. And the right people found me after. I thrive as a DM and in a small group setting. After searching for a very long time with a lot of good and a lot of bad experiences between. I finally netted a few writers who are the vibe. They show up every week and contribute to the story. Months later, it is still going. They stop online almost daily, even for brief check-ins, because they honestly care for each other. It isn't always rp, it movies and audio books. They communicate clearly for their needs and consider others. Rp is both a serious hobby and definitely not that serious.
It only took 15 years to get here.
And because I am always learning. What's one way you foster community in your Small groups?
