@Former-Member @Oaktree
🫂🫂🫂
Honestly I would call all of that a success @Former-Member - as in, you may not have been able to fully invest all of your attention into those things as distractions, but like... you're still here! Maybe not as distracting as you wanted but you still continued to try, and that's worth acknowledgment 😊
Haha I need one of those giant spinny wheels like on Wheel of Fortune, but on it is a whole bunch of different topics I can pull out for distractions! Hmmm...
If you could have ANY animal as a pet, and like it was gonna be easy to take care of, what animal would it be, and why? 🤔😋

Thanks @Jynx. I know it's at least done something cos yes I'm still here and it's passed the time. Just frustrated that I can't just focus on one thing and my thoughts are intense and loud.
Ummm I'd pick a tiger, i love their giant paws and they are just beautiful creatures.

OMG @rav3n you have CURSED ME - I will spend HOURS on character creators!! I literally had to close the tab just now cos I was getting so distracted 🤣
@Former-Member do you listen to much music? I honestly find that blasting hi-tech/dark psytrance into my ears does wonders when the thoughts are loud... cos the music is louder, and complex enough to just kinda take over my brain. Definitely not for everyone though... 🙃
YESSSS TIGER PAWS ARE THE BEST!! I myself am a big fan of the Canadian lynx for the same reason... DEM PAWS!! Or as the internet likes to call them, MUDER MITTENS 🤣

@Jynx i have had music blasting aswell but it's still not enough to drown the thoughts out.
Awww look at them paws 😍.
My peace has been disturbed so now I'm getting sensory overload 😞.

Whatcha listening to @Former-Member? I am totally asking to make conversation and not at all because I am CONSTANTLY HUNGRY FOR NEW MUSIC! (found out I was in top 13% of listeners globally on Spotify last year.... Yeah I really like music 🤣)... hehehe
Oh hun!! So rude. *Shakes fist at disturbance*
You got a little comfy cave (mine is my closet, lol) where you can hide in the dark for a bit?

@Jynx i know right, it's so hard not to get sucked into them hehe!!
@Former-Member tigers are soooo cute!! at first i thought the pic @Jynx posted was of a special tiger breed that i didn't know about, i think this is my first time seeing a pic of a lynx- they're so FLUFFY!! i'd love an arctic fox or quokka i can't choose, they both seem cute and cheeky to me hehe
