I just started DDV after playing ACNH for years. I always loved watching Tagbacktv on YouTube for ACNH because he is absolutely hilarious while also providing great tutorials and content. He only has about 27 videos for DDV so I was hoping to find similar streamers that are the same level of humor and goofing around. Any recommendations?

Are there any places locally (Knoxville/Maryville) to sell gently used/brand new books? I have so many physical books (most of them fantasy/current popular books) and I would love to sell some of them to make space.

Now that we don’t have McKays, is there anywhere else that will buy books?

Asking for a coworker:

Anyone have any recommendations for dentists that can work with autistic people and who also allow patients to make payments on more costly treatments?

Coworker cannot get approved for care credit due to things in the past with synchrony bank. Any help would be appreciated. She would like to avoid franchise dentists like Aspen (too many negative reviews online from patients and former staff) and she would rather support a local small business dentist

After my last therapy session and thanks to the support from everyone here I have gone no contact with the friend who was grooming me.

I sent her one message outlining inappropriate behaviors and my suspicions about her grooming me. I took accountability for not calling it out sooner and for allowing the behavior to continue due to my own people pleasing nature that comes with being neurodivergent. I expressed that I am not in the mental or emotional headspace to have a conversation with her about everything.

It has been 2 weeks and in therapy today I was able to say that I feel more safe and at peace without her being in my life. This was a huge step for me because I have trouble walking

For context: I met my best friend at work. We work in a large manufacturing plant. She was a leader and I am an associate who do specialized work. She is also openly gay and I am married.

Our friendship happened fast, so fast I can’t even remember how it started. The last year has blurred together. When we met, I wasn’t on the right med combo and my marriage was on the rocks. I was definitely vulnerable and in a low place.

It seemed like we got on really well. It seemed like she understood my needs with my bipolar disorder, autism, and my ADHD. She got super affectionate, which is something that isn’t normal for me.

As our friendship grew at work, we started hanging out outside of work.

I recently switched from disposables to the Smok Nord 4. I like it but the woman at my store said to stick with salt nic.

I like the Nord 4 but it does leak some. I also eventually want to move down to 6mg vape juice (I currently have unopened boxes of Cloud Nurdz) but I wasn’t sure I could do that with the Nord 4 (I struggle to understand coils)

Any advice on making the Nord 4 work or should I look at getting a new system? I love the size of the Nord and wouldn’t want to go too much larger

I am looking for ideas on what to pack for lunch so I can stop using fast food as my safe food. I work 2nd shift and have a rough schedule and food aversions are becoming the ultimate struggle.

I hate eating fast food but if I start thinking about food, especially meat, the sicker I feel so I give up on planning. Any ideas to help me get started packing my own lunch?

I am diagnosed Bipolar 1 and have been mostly stable for awhile now. Insomnia has always been a big issue for me and a few months ago my ambien stopped working well for me. I’ve been running on minimal sleep for weeks. My doctor had me cut out ambien cold turkey and start remeron. After a week on remeron and no sleep she added seroquel. I have now been on the seroquel/remeron combo for almost 2 weeks and it isn’t working.

During a session with my therapist, I talked about my insomnia, overwhelming sensory issues, agitations and how these are things that have always been a problem regardless of sleep. And I am starting to feel like my psych is just upping doses for things that don’t work. M

I am diagnosed Bipolar 1 and have been treated now for almost 10 years. I was recently discussing with my husband and my best friend some things that my medications don’t seem to address. My best friend is autistic and my husband is ADHD. After we talked about some of the things, both said the traits I listed sounded like traits of autism and ADHD. I was curious to see what thoughts are from people who have Bipolar along with either autism or ADHD or maybe all 3.

Traits that seem to worsen with age, regardless of my mood: -Severe aversions/sensitivities to textures of things like foods, fabrics, other physical objects

-Severe hyperfixations on certain music, books, or shows that play into

If you could continue the TOG story using everything that happened in the series, how would you do it? Who would you want to read about? If you could change certain things from the end, what would you change? I cannot get over the series and spend far too much time day dreaming about what comes next for all the characters. Give me some new concepts to day dream about so I can avoid my job

I recently read bits of a theory about Rhys manipulating mating bonds somehow and controlling the minds of the IC. I didn’t really do much digging but I LOVE a good plot twist. As unhinged as the theory is, I want to hear all the unhinged theories. It gives me something to look forward to reading at work

It really grinds my gears that there have been no truly meaningful deaths in the ACOTAR series. Everyone who plays some important role dies and comes back to life in some super magical way. They are fighting literal battles and they don’t lose a single person on the battlefield?!

I know it sucks to lose a beloved character but death is also an amazing tool for strong character growth. I love a good HEA like anyone else but not every single person in a book should have one. It feels like it takes away from the value of fight scenes and all these conflicts with their big bad enemies.

Okay, rant over.
