I have been fine tuning my exit bag strategy. Hit a few kinks to sort out. Just don't really have the ability to tolerate 24/7 protection, especially with my new tone. I just don't really have the ability to tolerate 24/7 protection, especially with my new tone.
I'm still having to fulfill obligations that I feel are making me worse like driving, cleaning etc. Just small daily living requirements. But noxacusis makes things impossible. My mother said she could try to help me financially, but I don't want to eat up her retirement on this disease and she wants me to get therapy. I just find it very hard to get therapy when I've told her I'm struggling with driving, talking to someone as I have to wear at least one layer of high NRR hearing protection at all times and in public two layers.
I feel like the walls are closing in on me. Benzos seem to help calm my tinnitus down again after not taking them for about a year, but I only have a month's supply left if I were to start back full time and again getting a psych who will prescribe without an office visit and drug testing seems far-fetched. Maybe I am catastrophizing things, but I am so broken right now I don't have the clarity to work through all these problems that are piling up on me.
Count yourself lucky.
I'm currently trying to level up before I take on the elite four by exclusively catching Digletts. The problem is that despite the fact I'm running a catch combo of 40+ I'm only averaging 300 experience points per Diglett, which is pitiful.
Prior to this I had a catch combo of around 80+ Ponytas, which was giving me between 1000 and 4000 experience points per catch, but I got cocky thinking I could kill two birds with one stone and obtain a ground type that would be effective against electric types, at the same time as boosting my experience points by transferring my catches solely to Digletts.
As you can see, I was wrong.
I'm now running low on ultra balls (currently 17 left)
and cash for ultra balls. So reaching a dead end, as my options are now: continue catching Digletts and hope that the experience points suddenly jump into 4 figures, but run the risk of having to continue buying ultra balls (which cost ₽500 per ball) and eventually run out of cash (₽68,505 left) (so feel free to do the math(s) on that). Alternatively, I could switch back to Ponytas, but having dropped my impressive combo on those, I'd probably end up harvesting even less points than I am for the Digletts.
Third option is to just give up on the levelling up and go and face the elite four now, but I don't fancy my chances, and one loss could end up wiping out what's left of my money.
The funniest part is, if you look up solutions on the internet, it tells you "it's easy to keep making money by speaking to the woman outside the Pewter City Museum with the slowpoke, who will give you a pearl each day for watching it for her". Great sorted! Except what they don't tell you, is that a day is in fact a serious 24 hours, and one pearl gives you only ₽4000... Like mate, that ain't gonna cut it.
I could mess around with the Lite's clock, but I've done that before with sword, and that f*cked up the whole spawning system, so I'm apprehensive of going down that route.
So basically f*cked and not sure how much longer I can go on.
If some miracle doesn't occur soon think I'm just gonna end it all.
