Hey all, just wanted to officially start a thread letting AGD2 know
the Cymster is back and ready to party. I'm super hyped about Diablo
3, I reinstalled D2 and I'm playing WoW as well.

I hope you're all doing well, I've been having an eventful past 4
years. To break it down I'll just say that I was diagnosed with
schizophrenia, so while I'm not trying to justify my partaking in
certain flame wars several years back, I had some issues I was dealing
with.

Other than that I've been single, taking my meds, and working towards
getting my bachelor's degree as well as hopefully buying a house in a
couple years. I just got hired at Gamestop about a month and a half
ago, that's going well. I get a 15% discount which is the epitome of
awesomeness, though I haven't been buying many games because I still
have Crysis, UT3, and NWN 2 sitting around, waiting for me to finish
them.

Anyway let me know you're alive, and regardless of whether you
remember me or not feel free to add to this thread and just say hi, if
the mood suits you.

If you'd like to team up on the playfield I'm currently on Llane
server for WoW with the Justus guild alliance side, and my hunter just
got moved back to Llane, but he's a horde toon. So he's currently
unguilded. Either way, regardless of which side you'd play, you'd
have a companion in me.

As far as D2, as I said I reinstalled it. I have a few toons on USEast
and I just started a sorcy on West in case anyone wants to team up for
old time's sake. Both accounts are named Cymtyr.

Here's hoping you're doing well! I know I am ;)

Welcome back old friend.

No time right now for a long chat, just wanted to add my two cents to your
thread.

Still good old US West, *regkinlaw now, some ladder, some non, no HC, mostly
young, but a 61 javazon (non ladder) in case you want to rush norm or
something.

Hope to see you around the realms.

Kinlaw

PS I was born in Dayton. You anywhere near there?

PPS Be happy to start an East account if that would suit you better.

No, I'm up near Cleveland.

As far as D2, it would be easier for me if you were to play on East,
that way I only have to worry about 1 account ;) No biggie though,
I'm sure we can work something out.

Hi Cym,

I was mostly in t'other group (but reading this one, I found it a bit
confrontational for me back then) and even then mostly lurking back when you
were active. I wasn't playing on-line, mainly in these groups for the wealth
of knowledge that was freely shared.

It's great to see you back, and ever better to hear that life is being good
to you. I used to have problems with depression that have mostly gone away
as I've got older and realised that I'm not that important to worry about so
much. <g> I have on-going issues with anxiety which I mostly handle by
avoiding situations that exacerbate it. That makes me somewhat of a recluse
IRL but the alternative, more meds, (Xanax) destroys my short-term memory
and leave me feeling like a zombie <"Brains...">

When you mentioned in another thread that you were on Llane I figured that
you might have caught up with the old Justus crew. I've never played WoW
(other than a couple hours on a mate's account when he insisted I try it out
after he'd bought his computer to me to be upgraded). It's not my type of
game and I don't like the pay-to-play thing.

Currently I've come full circle and am playing LoD SP, 1.09 with Gemstone
1.5 and PlugY (PlugY is new for me) after playing three ladders on US West
with 'the gang'. I'm in New Zealand (but a fair distance fron SvH) so Bnet
was a bit of a mission for me. It's good to not have lag and random
disconects. Also, I can keep torrenting while I play SP. :-)

Anyway.. Welcome back.

Thank you, and thanks for sharing your story with me. Yeah life's
funny sometimes, I like to think of the phrase "it's never boring with
a shcizophrenic" lol. As far as anxiety I get that too, so I can
relate.

I totally relate with you saying AGD2 was a bit confrontational in the
past... It seems to have mellowed out a bit these days, at least from
what I've seen.

Have a good thanks again for sharing!

It has a lot since the days when I first joined back when both groups
were going strong and the favourite pastime was massive beefathons ;)

Of course, that was back when I played a classic GA/MS Burizazon. Hehehe

The name David H comes to mind.

I loved my multizon. She wore the Tals mask too ;-)

LOL, yeah, I've heard that too.

Mmmm. Sometimes it's hard to know what's worse, the anxiety or the meds. I
feel distinctly 'blunt' when I'm fully medicated and I'm used to being
sharp. <g>

Yup, I've got a bit more used to usenet too, even did a stint as a
flame-warrior for a year or two (not here though).

You too.

Yeah I have to take medication daily, but usually I only take it when
I'm getting ready for bed. It helps me sleep, and if I forget my meds
I can always tell because I'm up for several hours tossing and
turning.

I take a small dose of the same pill sometimes when I'm feeling
anxious, it helps but it's not too sedative. I'm taking risperdol
these days, used to be on Zyprexa but that stuff quit working :{

Plus, zyprexa makes you want to do nothing but eat and sleep... I've
lost over 15 lbs since I switched meds.

I can understand the zombie effect, and how certain meds are prone to
inducing it. My best advice is... well... we have to take our meds...
but sometimes if you have a separate pill for anxiety sometimes you
might be able to get away without it.

Just breathe, hehe. I know it doesn't always work but sometimes it
helps.

Yeah, for sure. It's amazing how much control you can have over your own
'involuntary reactions' if you're persistant.

All I know is I'm cutting back on my anxiolytics *and* my pain pills as
they're really inpacting my intellect.

Some things you just got to take meds for though so you can function
reasonably well in society. I for the most part aviod society. <g>

Cheers,
