jokes on you the auto mod thing did it

I never needed them, was lucky

Marshal being banned means you can’t accuse mods of playing favorites

Still doesn’t seem real

i dunno the incineroar post wasn’t text

i did it, sorry

i know i cant make you guys not do this, but people who report things privately usually do so because they aren’t comfortable saying something publicly or being known, and we should respect that

Anyway yeah. When I was in middle school and health issues were first starting to worsen I’d force myself to go to school at 8AM every day, get through the day, get home, immediately run to my bed and pass out. Definition of push through it. Did all my homework during the school day because I couldn’t do shit afterward. Too tired. I was technically capable of doing what was necessitated of me there, though never any more.

But it was not sustainable. Never would have been. And I found myself a lot happier and a lot more competent when I started, like, working on and accommodating my health issues. There was pressure I didn’t know I was under, y’know? I was able to do a lot better at schoolwork once I stopped having to rush through it during classes. I had better relationships with my friends once I started giving myself more energy to, you know, talk to them.

Before I started giving myself, like, more space, and working on my health, I woulda said the same, that I was clearly capable of just powering through every issue that I had, and that’s all I needed to do. But I didn’t know what I was missing, y’know? I backed off for a bit and worked on those issues and suddenly I had energy both to complete base requirements and, like, be a human being. It improved my productivity in the long run.

My teeth aren’t even braces perfect because when they took my braces off they didn’t give me a retainer for like a week and they had moved too much by then for it to fit so they had to make a new one
