Hey everyone! I appreciate all of the responses. I would recommend friending me in-game, as I'm online often and that will give me a direct heads-up that you're online; we can chat then! I would definitely enjoy meeting everyone. Mhaya would probably get along well with a knave from the Rogues' Guild if said Rogue has a decent heart. (She doesn't really mind thieves, just don't go killing everyone in sight!). As per the cook, fast friends indeed. Mhaya loves to cook and she'd likely exchange recipes. Also, she needs more Lalafell friends too. Memories of one time she hoisted a lalafell with a slingshot onto her shoulders and let them snipe at some brigands for fun.

Hey there, guys. Title pretty much says it all! I'm after more long-term RP connections instead of connections that last for a short period of time. The goal is to enhance my character's story and those associated with her (including yours!), for the sake of building a more interesting overall story. Interested? You can post here, hit me up in a private message, or in-game. Thanks for reading!

Hey there! Gonna be doing some revamping soon! I hope everyone looks forward to a new and interesting tournament!

I'd be open to help spread the word on a gladiator event, seeing as Mhaya is a serious gladiator. I'm not big on /random based events, which is why I'd be up to spread the word over actual participation. As for non-combat RP between gladiators, yes, I am up for that 150%!

Just about every Expert roulette I do these days has been incredible. Additionally, some Ravana & Thordan Bird farm parties are also fun to take part in. Not sure if I have good luck or if the pool of knowledgeable players is rising by the day!

One of Mhaya's guilty pleasures is playing an excessive amount of Gold Saucer games. Hours and hours go by and by the end she has a stack of prizes for people.

I don't have a link for it currently, but the soundtracks for Lufia 1 and Lufia 2: The Fortress of Doom are worth a listen. Some of the best RPG battle themes I've heard, and it's on the Super Nintendo!

Hey everyone! Going to be reshaping some aspects of the tournament to make it more interesting. If you have any suggestions, shoot me a tell in game or a PM!

If you're on Balmung, you could always bump into Mhaya! She's got history in the Bloodsands in Ul'dah and doesn't mind making new friends. She may even have a job or two available!

I'm looking to get into more RP of late! Maybe Mhaya could happen by your character with a potential job offer or two! She's setting up plans for a new home and may need strong hands to carry things.

Since I'm really bad with times: Could you tell me what times those would be in EST US?

I've had a few people come up to Mhaya and RP knowing who she was. There was one who was extremely nervous and stammered out a few words, and one outright hugged her. Others were more of a casual declaration of knowing her, and they were all really fun!

I'm going to grab one in 3.3 and make it into a public RP venue for any interested in using it!

Bump!!

Hey everyone. I wanted to make an update: I've gotten into extensive group therapy which will further into one-on-one, etc. It's been helping a bit, along with the use of medicines for other issues. I'm feeling more strong than usual, which I hope sticks and improves further. I'm very grateful for your advice and support! <3. You're welcome to message me in game if you ever want, as well.

You strike me as an optimistic person and I respect and envy that

Bump!

Thank you, truly. I'm taking Buspirone and the last two days it's almost felt like it was doing nothing. My doc said that's normal, since I just had the dosage adjusted and your body needs time to fully adjust. I understand the shakiness and dread. I laid in bed for 2 hours this morning before working up the strength to get up. As per the job scenario: I know that ALL too well. I had this one retail job worse than the others that actually nearly ruined a relationship of mine due to how badly it messed me up. Your advice definitely helps, by the way.

Hey everyone! To start off, I'm going to say that it's taking a lot of courage for me to make this post. I'm stepping outside of my usual comfort zone to talk about something that I don't quite understand fully, yet have endured for most of my life. That something is severe clinical anxiety. About me: I'm 26 years of age, and have suffered from various forms of anxiety, depression etc since about ten years of age, if I remember correctly. I've never been very good at learning to cope, which is why I'm posting this. Before anyone may get the wrong idea about this post, this is not a post saying to pity me, this is a post of me admitting that I could use advice from someone who may have been in my shoes at some point in their life and had improved. As some of you may know, Anxiety is a very real but also very silly thing. When I say silly, I do not mean in terms of severity or seriousness, but just how it makes you think. You may see a plane crash on the news, and think 'Oh god, what if that happens to me?!' even if you never intend to board a plane. It plays upon your fears and projects them upon you as if they are happening at the very moment. (Even posting the plane scenario got me a little choked up. @.@). For most of my life, this has kept me from being as functional as I -know- I can be. I just keep saying 'I know I can beat this', but some days it completely whoops my arse. Sometimes words, or medicine isn't enough, and I confide in friends but can sometimes find it difficult to keep a conversation going or keep reciprocating. I know for a fact my anxiety has caused me to lose a lot of friends due to things I didn't mean to say, or due to shoving them away when I simply couldn't handle the pressure. In the event someone I did that to is reading this, I want to sincerely apologize, as I likely didn't mean it and do feel genuinely apologetic. The point of this thread is: Has anyone overcome this, or at least gotten to a point where you can function fully and push it aside? I want to get to that point, and I know it's not just a magical happy switch. I know it's a long process, and I know a lot of the days are going to be tough. A few of my friends have already talked to me about some steps, which is how I continued to pursue a few methods. Still, some days(Namely yesterday and today) I feel that those methods have fallen short and I feel entangled in those clutches again. Comparative to weeks or months before this, what I'm feeling now is not as severe as it once was, which soothes me a little. Thank you all for reading, and I'm very much looking forward to responses. If your response may border on more personal subjects, you're also willing to send me a PM!

Bumping it up!

Been working through Sephirot EX with PuG's to start, and made a few friends. Sticking together, we've been getting very close to clearing the fight and half the group are always randoms. \o/

Bump!

Bump! We're moving to the Wandering Tonberry house, Goblet Ward 8 Plot 12, as I am selling my home until I purchase a Large! Give them some love for all the help!

Yeah it'll be back to farming Ravana for me (On Flynt at least). Hopefully by that time though with some gear upgrades it'll be less intimidating. Plus I imagine we'll see farming parties make a resurgence for these two fights. I am more interested in what the Thordan mount will look like Did somebody say Thordan farm?!

I'll take an invite to that LS when I'm on!
