Hehe, gotta love cats. ♥

I have more vids/gifs of cats I'd like to ever admit. <.< At least it's something to do a lil during quarantine.

Cats are one of my favs. ♥

I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough time with things. You're not the only one! Times like these really give our mental health a beating. I'm not sure where you live, but are you able to go outside in your yard at all or just for a walk? My community is allowing people to be in their yards and out for walks as long as social and physical distancing is being adhered to. My kids have not left the house or our yard for a month now and they've been at each others throats lately. This week we've finally been having some nice weather so we've been outside in our yard a bit each day. Today's the first day I actually joined them in the yard. Wednesday they were playing while I did dishes and cooked supper, Thursday I was busy doing other things, but today I decided with most of the snow gone it was as good a time as any to start cleaning up the yard. We got a Great Pyrenees pup last summer and he made a huge mess in our yard over the winter. Unfortunately, things may stay as they are for some time yet. We just have to do the best we can to get through this. Hang in there!

 

Yes, I am able to go outside on my lawn, and walks are legal here too --just social distancing and mask laws. It's been hard to even want to do that, just because deep in me I know it's still all I can do, and even with that, I still know the state of the world around me due to the virus. I know it sounds maybe selfish, or ungrateful -- but I assure that's not what I mean at all! Thank you for telling me about what you're doing, it gives me hope knowing others are feeling the same, and finding ways to cope with how everything is. I am homesick because I am away from my family, and I don't know when I'll be able to fly out to visit them again.  We've been cleaning the house on and off, my boyfriend and I, and doing outside work when it's not too hot, or rainy. It's hard to stay coped up all the time, and I can only imagine more so with bigger families, and I wish you the best in all this -- and more peaceful times, too.

It always surprises me how long online communities are able to stay alive and active. A friend of mine brought up Gaia Online and when I went to check it out, there were still updates being posted! Browser-based games have a longer "shelf life" than mobile apps, funnily enough. 

I recently got back into Gaia Online, actually. 

I like to think Gaia, and Neopets isn't dying. User bases can dwindle at times -- but there's still more than enough activity on both to not be considered dead IMO.

Took a lil, but finally got the Spring Background. I love it.

^ I love your signature. 

...Do I win kittens now?

You're welcome, and thanks! I totally agree, seeing as I'm needing a lot of comfort -- Neopets fits just in, and having people to talk with. ;-;

I added you on NP! (drowkitty)

Welcome back!

I'm also returning, and taking things a lil slow for now. 

Seems most of us are returning.

Welcome back! :)

Neopets has been my go-to since my fathers passing. (Sorry to get semi personal).

It's something him and I bonded over, he always had an open-mind when I'd introduce him to things I liked. 

I've been using it even more now since the whole quarantine thing, and I'll be sure to add you in a short while! I'm PST at the moment, got trapped on the opposite coast akin to where I'm used to. Though; my sleeping schedule is quite whack.  Thank you for the welcome!

Thank you! It was a lil hard for me, and still trying my best to be more social! I found starting here would be best, since I know most of the community would be welcoming and nice.  ♥

I feel exactly the same, and it's not even in a selfish way, of course. We all want things to be normal, or as normal as they were. Thank you again for the kind welcome!

Thank you! :3 

Gotta love social anxiety, always preventing us from doing what we really want to do a lot of the time.

Thank you! ^.^

It's been really tough, so just trying to find new ways to counteract these horrid feelings; my old methods aren't working anymore.

I totally agree with finding no comfort. >.< Really hoping this is over sooner than later. 

Neopets has been my escape again for awhile, even if I had to make a new account, but that's totally ok to me. 

Just happy to be back on Neopets! 

8. I haven't played a forum game like this in forever!

Oh, pick me, pick me!

Honestly? Feeling extremely trapped and going stir crazy.

My mental illnesses are also feeding off this, and even as a mute/someone with anxiety, I actually enjoy being outdoors and not coped up in the house.

I just hope things get better soon, for the sake of everyone, no matter which end. 

Things I usually do, are just not doing it anymore, and it's getting quite disheartening. Really hoping for better days.

I'm new to the forums, and I've mentioned my reasoning on my profile for being here.

Though, I don't mind saying here as well! I'm a mute with social anxiety, and during these tough times, being locked up in a house all day is making me feel insanely trapped. 

So, I thought why not try to conquer both with signing up to a forum, mostly when others share a same interest/love as you? (Neopets).

I'll try my best to reply to any ASAP, and thank you for having me here!
