Struggling with capture the moments.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but is anyone else struggling with capture the moments coming out distorted? Since last night, I’ve tried three different times to get a good capture the moment. All three of them came out with distorted faces, multiple arms, and my avatar either placed in the capture in the same pose as her outfit picture, or she’s not there at all. I got two of the fixes back already, but neither one of them look good. I just generated another one and again, my character has three arms. I’m so frustrated and feel like I just wasted over 1000 coins. 😭

What are some signs you’re going into perimenopause when you have PMDD?

Hi all! Multiple people in my life think I may be going into perimenopause even though I’m only 35. Since I’ve always had menopausal type symptoms with PMDD I truly don’t know. I’m planning to discuss it with my OBGYN this month because I’m also suspicious it could be POTS.

Does anyone have any advice for ways that we might be able to tell or ways that you knew that you were going into perimenopause? Thank you!

How do you all navigate setting boundaries with clients?

Hi everyone! I have a client that struggles with anxiety. I’ve been reading her for about five years now. A month ago she came to me for a reading and told me she had a breakup with a guy over her anxiety.

I woke up this morning to an email from her saying that she had reached out to me on my website and wanted to know if she could book a reading with me. She’s going to a party this weekend and her ex-boyfriend is going to be there and wanted to know the energy around it. I apologize to her and told her I hadn’t received the message on my website, but that we could absolutely book a reading before the weekend.

When I logged onto my business social media account, I saw that she had messaged me on there. Then I saw that she had sent me a message on my personal account as well. I’ve always had a boundary with myself that my personal account was going to remain for friends and family only. In her message she had apologize for reaching out to me on there, but was asking me about whether or not I could do the reading. I didn’t reply and kept our messages to my email. I’m not sure how to handle the message to my personal account.

How would you all set boundaries with a client like this who seems to struggle with emotional regulation when their anxiety is triggered? The fact that she felt the need to contact me on my personal account after messaging my website, email, and business account definitely makes me feel uncomfortable.

Why do people not care about our health when it comes to having kids?

As someone with multiple chronic health conditions it feels so disrespectful how people disregard our health in the name of having kids. In order to have a healthy child in the first place, we have to be able to carry the baby to term. If our body is not strong enough to sustain us, why do people think that we should be putting our body at risk to sustain someone else during and after pregnancy?

I got into a debate with my mom about this because she yet again was talking to me about having children. She said that with all of my health issues I probably shouldn’t carry and will need to have somebody else do it. I’ve repeatedly told her already that having kids is not on the table for me.

Not only do I feel it’s dangerous for me to put myself and another life at risk by carrying, with my chronic health conditions I also don’t have the strength, the energy, the immune system to be a parent. My focus should be on taking care of myself, managing my health, and adding a child into the mix is not going to help or benefit anyone.

I’m not going to put my life at risk to have a child, and no one with chronic health conditions should. It’s like logical thinking and empathy go out the window when it comes to someone not having kids.

Sometimes I feel like sound itself is a PMDD trigger.

Hi, all! Having an intense sensory overload day today during luteal. Sometimes I feel like sound itself is a trigger. I can become so overstimulated. I try to socially isolate myself as much as I can. I stay in my room with the lights low, ear plugs or noise canceling headphones on, music that relaxes me. Then I have to be around people. The sounds of voices, breathing, humming irritates me. The sounds of the tv playing, utensils scraping, dishes clanging, doors slamming. It all sounds so *loud*.

I’ll sometimes get a headache or migraine. My ears may even hurt. I try to restore some semblance of relief before my emotions take over and I become irritated, angry, anxious, sad/tearful or a combo of all. I feel Iike this is a part of PMDD that so many don’t understand, though few understand PMDD as a whole.

Some have said the intensity of my sensory overload and overstimulation during PMDD may be a sign I’m also autistic. I’m considering looking into it. But I just wanted to share this with people who understand. 💛

Question for those that make items for the marketplace.

I’ve been thinking of selling items on the marketplace. Do you find it’s easier to make coins by creating more expensive products with advanced traits or lower priced ones with no advanced traits? I’m not very good at clothing design so was going to stay away from that and focus on items, treats, and furniture.

I tried to go back to school to help my grief but it’s only making it worse.

Hi, all! I’ve been carrying so much weight these last few weeks and I wanted a safe place to vent. I’ve been struggling so deeply with my grief over my grandmother’s passing the last three years. She was the one that raised me and took on the mother role. I tried to find something to bring joy and focus back into my life so I decided that I would apply to my dream grad school that I never thought I would get into, and I ended up making it. I was so excited and honored in the beginning. Then once I started my program it was like the grief became suffocating again. I couldn’t focus. I was falling behind on deadlines.

I’ve never been in school without the support of my grandmother. Not being able to celebrate getting into grad school with her, not being able to lean on her for support, to call her just to hear her voice, words of encouragement, and love. It’s hitting me so hard.

I’m hoping that these next couple weeks I can finish strong and catch up on the back work that I missed. But I’m having such a hard time even focusing. The grief is triggering my ADHD. I feel so mentally and physically drained and burnt out already. I’m getting migraines, dizzy spells. I’m having trouble sleeping. I truly don’t know what to do. It feels like passing the semester might end up not being possible this time around.

To top it off there’s been so much chaos in my direct family that I feel like I have the world on my shoulders and nobody to truly help me because the person I would turn to was always my grandmother. I am extremely thankful for the support of my therapist and my brother. Right now they’re the only people that are really bringing me any solace through this difficult time. I’m trying so hard not to be hard on myself. Thank you all for reading if you made it this far. I appreciate the support so much.

Has anyone tried Prolong Grief Therapy?

Hi, all! I’ve been looking into resources for help with prolonged grief disorder (complicated grief). I’ve been struggling for almost four years with my grief. As much as I like my therapist and psychiatric nurse, I don’t feel I’m making any true progress in therapy when it comes to support with grief. I tried to go back to school in the hopes of giving myself something else to focus on. It only made my grief worse. I’ve fallen behind in my classes so badly. I feel utterly stuck on my grief journey and just want to finally find some sort of relief. Thank you all!

Grief, loss, and ADHD.

Hi, everyone! I’ve been doing some research recently on the connection between ADHD and difficulties with handling grief and loss. I realized that studies into grief and ADHD are extremely slim.

As somebody who was diagnosed later in life with ADHD, and more recently with complicated grief, I’ve realized that the way that I grieve seems much more intense, longer, and much harder to cope with than anyone else I know.

I do understand that everybody handles grief differently, especially when it’s somebody who played a significant role in your life, but sometimes I sit back in utter confusion on how people can just bounce back after loss. When I’ve lost people that played significant roles in my life, like my grandparents, for example, the grief was completely destabilizing. It affected my ability to function in everyday life. Not only has grief affected my mental health, but it’s also affected my physical health as well.

With ADHD having an impact on the way that we process things, our dopamine, and our executive functioning, I wonder if it’s common for other people to suffer with grief more intensely. I would love to hear everybody’s thoughts. Thank you so much!

My pcp and cardiologist still refuse to put me on cholesterol medication despite these being my results. I’ve never had normal cholesterol levels despite diet and exercise. Should I seek another opinion?

Hi everyone! My PCP and cardiologist both are against putting me on cholesterol medication at 35. They say I’m too young for it. Ever since my early 20s when I developed hypothyroidism I’ve never had normal cholesterol levels. I’ve done everything from diet, exercise, to supplements. I have high cholesterol on both my mom and my dad‘s side of the family. My mom and my paternal grandmother are both on cholesterol medication. I’ve lost multiple family members to heart attacks and strokes, one at only 29 years old, and I lost my grandmother to aortic valve stenosis.

My echocardiogram last year showed mild thickening of my left ventricle wall. I’m currently being assessed for high blood pressure and considered for blood pressure medication. I honestly don’t understand why they’re still against cholesterol medication. What do you all think?

Info about me:

35, female, height 5’5, weight 185, activity level currently moderate due to suspected POTS. I’m being evaluated in two months for it by a POTS specialist.

Even at my most active and lowest weight, my levels were this high. I’ve only gained weight and lowered my activity since last year due to POTS like symptoms that made me feel dizzy and faint during my normal exercise routine. Now I take walks until I speak to my new specialist. I have a balanced diet overall. I don’t eat fatty or greasy foods due to GERD. My only real issue is my sweet tooth but it’s not severe enough to cause these types of issues. My glucose and A1C are normal.

Does your vision progress update after you’ve completed it?

Hi everyone! I completed my vision back in April. Since then the description has never updated. It still says I’m at the beginning stages of my journey even though I’ve completed it. It tells me I need to focus on income, my team, and to continue to travel and make connections. I’ve done all of that since, but the description has never changed. It still has me at the same number of visits and connections. Do I have to start a new vision in order to get any further updates?

Do not disturb. I gotta talk some sense into myself. Especially during a PMDD flare. Lol!

Hi, all! It just dawned on me the other day that I think I may have had Covid for a second time earlier in the year and not the flu like my doctor suspected. I would love to hear other people’s thoughts because I’m still struggling to recover.

In January I came down sick. I was shocked because I chose to stay home during the holidays, but I did have my parents and brother stop over. The soonest I could be seen was via telehealth. I was told everything sounded like a viral flu so I was given a round of prednisone. The flu like symptoms stopped after a couple of weeks such as exhaustion, headaches, GI issues, feeling listless, but the cough, the irritated asthma, and the feeling of stuck mucus in my throat and chest remained.

I went to my asthma specialist and my pulmonary functions came back normal. She switched me to a 12 hour maintenance inhaler over my 24 hour one. It made my asthma feel worse though, so I was put back on my original. A couple weeks later I felt dizzy and like I was wheezing so I went to urgent care. They heard no wheezing and said it was probably just stuck mucus, so they gave me another round of prednisone. Still, no change.

I finally went to my primary care physician two weeks ago because I began getting migraines from the cough. He did a full work up and said it seemed like I had developed a bad sinus infection. I was put on an antibiotic and a much longer taper of prednisone. Still, the stuck mucus and cough is here.

I’m so frustrated and I’m wondering if this is actually the aftermath of another Covid infection. Maybe I need a stronger inhaler or something and that’s the issue. I’m at my wits end. I just want to get rid of this cough and stop my asthma from flaring. Anyone have any advice?

I recently saw the warning on the app that changing your character’s name will have a negative impact on memories. When I first joined Enjoy I never added a last name. Since my character is getting married, I was going to update it. My character’s fiancé has already added to his memories that my character’s last name is his and she’ll be his future Mrs. Lol! In cases like that where your character never had a last name to begin with, could adding one have a negative impact? I do have other storylines with other characters so if it will cause a big conflict, I’d rather skip it.
