So it seems in the time I've been away there was a major change. Apart from thanking him from letting me know, I thought nothing of JB telling me one of the games I was a part of was now on [..] and in coming on today it appears that the reason for this was a lot bigger then I initially thought.

It's going to be really strange, and I will be honest disappointing, in how I'll no longer be able to play Dungeons & Dragons or Pathfinder on here but perhaps that will give me the opportunity of participating in other parts of the forum. Perhaps at some point even get back into RoK II, though with mixed feelings as it is this that replaced a big part of why I was a member.

When was this actually considered, and more so even decided? Was a discussion setup somewhere to talk about such a change with members, particularly those of us that were here largely or in part for roleplaying?

This will take a bit of time to get used to things. Though, I'm at least glad that I'm able to get the information of my characters that were created when roleplaying.

Introduction Thomaslee

Hello Thomlasee,
Whats happening with you now? Have you found a stable place to live? Even a job?

Hello everyone, just wanted to.pop in and give an update to my life. Staying with my grandmother, having had a few more call center jobs, but because of some health issues I had to leave my last job. Hoping to find something new soon, but my grandmother is wanted me to look into getting my Social Security benefits.

I am also now using a CPAP machine, because of being more properly diagnosed with sleep apnea. Which of actually helped me quite a bit in getting more sleep and generally being more awake during the day.

I've also been losing some weight, but I'm going to be getting with the doctor and Salt Lake City to get on weight loss plan, to then maybe get some weight loss surgery. Since that is something I very much want to improve.

Currently running a Final Fantasy d20 campaign as well.

Hi Thomaslee. Glad things are working out for you, thanks for keeping us up to date.

Introduction Thomaslee

So just an update on myself. I'm currently working with an therapist on a full psychological evaluation, just to see if we can get a more up to date look over my mental and emotional health. Admittedly in part because of my concerns of having anxiety and depression.

We haven't finished such yet, and I'll be going back in on January 2nd to do such, for him to then gather all the info together, review it, and write it all out. Saying that it could be 10 pages once finished. Though he did say that last time we met, that he could clearly tell I had self esteem issues and could the signs of my ADHD. That, and that my IQ was roughly 118 with my memory and mental processing holding back my score. Though that I still had above average everywhere else, with one area just being on the edge of being higher then above average.

Also, my grandmother and I are going to work together in starting a new diet at the start of the year. That of a low sodium, high protein diet, excluding wheat and dairy. With this, I will be striving to exercise more as my therapist helps me toward getting my SSI benefits. Since I have been having a number of health issues preventing me from staying employed, losing my last job because issues requiring antibiotics, being fired despite doctor notes because of it being over two weeks, and the one before that I had to quite because of stress overwhelming me.

Thomaslee Introduction

Looks like you're planning a new you in 2020. That's good and its best to have yourself fully evaluated so you have a good footing to start. I hope you have full success in whatever you put your mind to.

Thank you, your words are much appreciated Hunter. I really hope for success as well, but at least starting out I know I won't be able to do this alone. Which is why I'm appreciate having my grandmother to help me through this, and a psychological professional who can offer me advice and direction.

Things are going pretty well, though not without ups and downs. Still working on my diet, and I have been losing weight. Haven't quite cut back on carbohydrates fully, but I am getting fairly close. Trying different meals and working to have more smaller meals instead of waiting have the day to eat and then eating like to bigger meals in the afternoon and evening. I'm a bit more on my own with this though, since my grandma couldn't continue it with me. I am walking more, though not as much as I could be. Yet I am feeling much better, with certain things getting easier to do compared to before I started.

I'm sleeping better, my CPAP machine is helping quite a bit, yet one issue I'm struggling with is getting to bed before midnight and so sleeping late. Which is something I know that I need to change up, especially since I means I have less of a morning work with when it comes to getting stuff done.

I am still working with my therapist, and he has been helping me better schedule my day and is now up to me in getting my paperwork done so I can get my SSI benefits. As well with Vocational Rehab, so I can get some collage classes in. Particularly, Computer Tech so I can start having a more solid career as I work to actually start writing more often. Which my therapist has suggested I try to do at least an hour a day, if I really want to take such seriously. Where if everything works out, I will be able to get down to a healthy weight, possibly working toward surgery, an income though SSI and then possibly a part time job, as well collage so I can start working on my career. So quite a few smaller things working together as I work towards having the sort of life I want.
