venting, language, unimportant. 

@IrisKalmia

I don't use "heck" very much myself, but I do tend to refrain from certain expletives when communicating online. In person, I tend to pepper my speech a bit too freely, but when I have more time to think--as when I'm typing words out--I don't feel compelled as much to do so. This way it also helps establish that when I _do_ start cursing up a storm in text, it is easier for others to grasp just how aggravated I really am.

@lizardsquid

Reality is the worst game ever. The controls are inane, the AI is obviously borked, the story has no point and just wanders aimlessly, and character customization--while present--is cumbersome.

Also, seems I'm always stuck on a damn PvP server.

pharmaceuticals 

@Freylet

There are several, and each might affect a person differently. The most effective ones seem to be stimulants and have a higher addiction potential.

Can say I didn't care for Strattera though. Not a stimulant in the typical sense--so lower addiction potential--but it just seemed to make my focus worse as well as making it more difficult to urinate. O_o

Assume the all-caps indicates the band and not that you are going to drink kale smoothies, go jogging, and meditate.

But other than that, things are okay, I suppose.

Atomoxetine (Strattera) is absolute garbage (for me). I gave it an extended trial run, w/increased dosage, and all I got for it was continued-to-worsened difficulties concentrating, increased agitation & anxiety, and frequently impaired urination.

Expletives, lame

Atypical dysphoria 

@KawaSeadrake

The resultant cyclone of instinct vs emotion usually lands me in the same or similar anxious, depressive isolation you described.

Appreciate your candor with your responses to my prying questions!

* - AMAB, I claim NB (male/agender), but always fear that I may just be a cis charlatan, appropriating things that are not mine.

@KawaSeadrake

Very interesting. I feel as though I am more emotional than a typical male*, but that may be self-delusion/aggrandizement; however, at the same time, I also have the amped anger & anxiety--to the point which I know something is wrong with but am powerless to stop it. Likewise for libido, which is something I've often wished I could sublimate at-will, as to not have the ever-present spectre of "Can I f**k this person?" tainting every interaction.** (cont.)

@KawaSeadrake

Thank you! I'm certain you've covered before, but would you mind expanding upon how hormones impact your mental processes?

Full disclosure: I have anxiety issues that I've always assumed we're related to some dysfunction with the amygalae (innocuous situations can have feeling, inexplicably, like a cornered animal). I've been curious as to how that might be affected. (Not that I'll necessarily pursue it, but it'd be good to know.)
