The Spiral into Madness Continues

[poliwag0]

If you want to, then do it. Because bells are waaaaay more important then real money!!!11!! And real life! Yay!!

 

[Attribule]

Oh yeah, I totally understand where you're coming from. It's just, I want to build the ones that I already have, but I can't bring myself to for some reason? I'm not sure.

Here's how I see it: If you can't make anything out of what you already have, then you'll never make anything out of more. If you want to start working on themed towns with the ones you currently own then start them, but right now all you're doing is adding more to your pile of things to do yet never doing them. You're essentially overwhelming yourself.

Do it, gurl!

Get 31 copies and get every villager in the game

If you have the money guilt-free, I say get the 5th copy and make your Batman town. But draw the line with this. No more. Because if after getting a 5th one and making your bat town, you still get bored with it and want another, you know this will be an endless cycle. And if you go over 6 months without playing one or more of the copies it's time to sell them on.

If I had the money guilt-free I probably wouldn't have had to make this thread omfg I probably just would've done it but I am poor college kid qq
But yeah I feel you on the endless cycle thing, and that's what Swurve is trying to warn me of because they think I'm already in that pattern. I can't say for sure yet if I am or not. I DO know that I tend to cause myself a lot of stress over it, though with the knowledge that when you stop someone from moving that no one will move out it feels easier a little bit to take turns with them I guess.

I just read my last post & I promise I didn't mean to seem rude omg but like

I think if you get a 5th copy then you'll want a 6th & 7th & 8th & so on later on down the road.

Nono it's fine dear I totally understood <333 It was like more of a wakeup call uvu And yeah I TOTALLY get what you're saying; what happens when I fill up that town? Where does it end? My problems lie much deeper than just this, obviously, and I actually don't have an addictive personality or anything, but I guess what keeps happening is I keep getting "bored" when I get all my dreamies and??? Ahhh. Shucks. I really hope that, if this 5th copy does happen, that I DON'T start wanting that 6th/7th/8th. I'm trying to stay away from it but my impulsivity has been pretty high recently since I just switched anti-depressants yAy

If you want to, then do it. Because bells are waaaaay more important then real money!!!11!! And real life! Yay!!

IF ONLY MY BELLS WERE REAL MONEY TBH I'D BE RICH AS HELL
tru about AC being more important than real life tho lmfao

Yeah, I know -- I tend to do this a lot. Like with my art, I'll take requests then break under the pressure. It wasn't always like this... This is a much more recent development. I'm worried, but there's not much I can do at this point. I really wanna fix up my other towns, it's just like I have this weird notion that starting fresh is so much easier and Idk I'm really messed up LMAO

Do it, gurl!

UR A BAD INFLUENCE (ilu omfg im so tempted hURGGHHHHH)

Get 31 copies and get every villager in the game

honestly this is the Only Way. it must be done.

ahh how tempted I am. I guess I'll take inventory of things and do a mental check and see where I am since I'm getting encouragement on both sides. XD;

Trust me, I know how switching anti-depressants goes. I have to take my Latin exam in a few months because I was absent for over 9 days when I switched this year. I was not a pleasant person to be around.

Just try to think of the future (wow cheesy)!!!!1 If you think you're going to ditch this one too, I'd wait out and try to get into your other copies again and go from there.

 

[Lurrdoc]

I personally wouldn't. If you're ready to have a mental breakdown that's an instant slow down, take a breather and maybe walk away for awhile.

 

[Selky]

If you don't play your other three then maybe take one and restart it to be the batman town. Just seems like if you already don't play the others then getting a fourth will most likely end up being a waste.
I can't imagine having more than two towns let alone having four towns.

 

[mikanmilk]

If you don't have the money don't do it. Any enjoyment you would get would be overshadowed by guilt.
At this point I would actually recommend one by one checking each of your existing towns for move-outs and then taking a break from Animal Crossing for a week or so.
In the end no one here has the right to advise you, and you should do what makes you happy. But it doesn't even seem to be making you happy.
Good luck with whatever you choose and I hope you have understanding people around you IRL who can offer support with the things you are going through.

Yeah, I spoke with my gf about it and we're trying to talk out how my symptoms are really showing themselves in an ugly light with this. If I wasn't tight on money obviously I'd not have much of an issue with it, but as it is, I have a huge impulsive side of me, and then the rational side that's saying "no do not do the thing". And sometimes, with how bad my apathy is, listening to the irrational side is the only way out. It seems to have shown itself the most in AC, once I joined TBT and got the third copy I think is when it really started ****ing **** up. Man. But all I get told is that my apathy is just part of my depression and this is a long process but aUGH hahaah screams,,,

I was being a bit overdramatic, but in truth I'm sure I'd cause myself a hell of a lot of stress if I did go through with this. I reckon you're right, I thought about it while I was at the vet with my cat and I'm still trying to mull things over.

The problem is I don't want to lose the dreamies I already have ): Like those towns are specifically for those dreamies... And I suppose I didn't have enough room to have all my dreamies AND a themed town? Since none of the rest have themes really except for Arendele. But again this is a slippery slope I'm on due to all of my mental crap -- obviously a normal person wouldn't have these thoughts ahahha 8D;

And again, thank you guys uvu I swear you won't wake up to a post tomorrow about me having bought it lmao, I'm going to give myself some time.

Yeah, sadly I tend to feel guilty very easily uAu And also yeah I've already managed to quit two towns so far, though a bit uneasy it's feeling a little better. I just like being on TBT all the time then I get excited to like "DO MORE STUFF!!!!" and it's like??? Idk it's weird haha
-snugs- uAu Not much makes me happy nowadays, I struggle to find things that do -- that's why I call it a quick bandaid fix. Because it'll give me a high for a little while, then I'll be back in my pit before I can say "I HAD FUN".
And thank you so much sweetheart <33 I might bring it up to my therapist, this specific situation I mean... Maybe they'll have something to say other than "it's just a byproduct of your depression" hahah pbbt

You already have four copies? I even think two is pushing it. I say you don't buy another copy and save your money. Don't do it. DO NOT DO IT.
