nabile answered your question: Which team should I join for this year’s Altador Cup?
roo islandddddddddddd
I joined Haunted Woods. It’s my favorite place in Neopia, and I am a lover of all things spooky, so yeah.
Guess who has a sunburn already? Uh, that’s right, me. I very rarely burn(unless I am in the water), so this is a bit odd for me, especially since it’s not even June. Thankfully it’s only on the back of my neck.

Interview with pixiejazz:
altadorcupvii:
- What team do you support? Haunted Woods
- What is your Neopets Account?* Tywyll
- Why did you choose this team? It was the first team I supported when I first started playing the AC 3 years ago. Figured I’d go back to it, since it’s my favorite place in Neopia.
- Who is your favorite player on that team? “Brains” Mortigan
- Who is your favorite player in the entire tournament? Elon “The Black Hole” Hughlis
- How do you feel about the new format? I like it much better than last year.
- How do you think your team will do? I’m hoping HW finally comes in first this year. But I’m thinking we’ll be third.
- What rank are you shooting for? I’m gonna try for Rank 4. I don’t have a lot of time to play, so for me, that’s a huge goal.
- Who do you think will win the Altador Cup? Most likely Krawk Island, as usual.
- Random thoughts on the cup? It’s fun, exciting, and competitive. Three of my favorite adjectives.
how to decode a person with an anxiety disorder
euclase:
things we are trying to do all the time:
- be safe
things we can’t help but do all the time:
- second-guess ourselves
- behave impulsively and reactively
- take everything personally
- worry
- worry
- worry
- have difficulty accepting compliments
- have difficulty reciprocating friendly gestures
- have difficulty finding the courage to respond
- have difficulty not being suspicious of others’ intentions
- make a huge deal out of the smallest thing
things you should keep in mind:
- we’re scared of everything
- pretty much all of the time
- it’s an actual disorder
- it manifests as impulsive behavior
- you can’t fix us with words
- telling us “worrying is silly” won’t make us stop worrying
- it’ll only make us feel silly
- and then we’ll worry even more
- “oh god, am i worrying too much? what if they call me silly again?”
- like that
- also, we wear a lot of armor
- cold, heavy, affection-proof armor with spikes
- we constructed this armor as children
- we’re fairly certain you will never be able to pry it apart
- but there is a nice person under there, we promise
things you can do for a friend with an anxiety disorder:
- stick around
- ask them if they’re comfortable in a place or situation
- be willing to change the place or situation if not
- activities that help them take their mind off of things are good!
- talk to them even when they might not talk back
- (they’re probably too afraid to say the wrong thing)
- try not to take their reactions (or lack thereof) personally
- (the way they expresses themself is distorted and bent because of their constant fear)
- (and they knows this)
- give them time to respond to you
- they will obsess over how they are being interpreted
- they will anticipate being judged
- it took me four hours just to type this much
- even though i sound casual
- that’s because i have an anxiety disorder
things you shouldn’t do:
- tell us not to worry
- tell us we’ll be fine
- mistake praise for comfort
- ask us if we are “getting help”
- force us to be social
- force us to do things that trigger us
- “face your fears” doesn’t always work
- because—remember—scared of everything
- in fact, it would be more accurate to say we are scared of the fear itself
emergency action procedure for panic attacks:
- be calm
- be patient
- don’t be condescending
- remind us that we’re not “crazy”
- sit with us
- ask us to tighten and relax our muscles one by one
- remind us that we are breathing
- engage us in a discussion (if we can talk, then we can breathe)
- if we are having trouble breathing, try getting us to exhale slowly
- or breathe through our nose
- or have us put our hands on our stomach to feel each breath
- ask us what needs to change in our environment in order for us to feel safe
- help us change it
- usually, just knowing that we have someone on our side willing to fight our scary monsters with us is enough to calm us down
if you have an anxiety disorder:
- it’s okay.
- even if you worry that it’s not okay.
- it’s still okay. it’s okay to be scared. it’s okay to be scared of being scared.
- you are not crazy. you are not a freak.
- i know there’s a person under all that armor.
- and i know you feel isolated because of it.
- i won’t make you take it off.
- but know that you are not alone.

And why can’t I get into My Support to view the status of my ticket?
Which team should I join for this year’s Altador Cup?
I was Team Haunted Woods 3 years ago and Team Maraqua the last two years. That account is now frozen, so maybe I should pick a new team. Thoughts?
