As much as I get your frustration, we should never wish death upon anybody.

We are social creatures and there's just so much you can handle on your own. I wonder what your point of view is about Friendship. What do you consider as a friend? What does make a friend? Genuinely curious.

Man, those are real friends right there. I’m sorry for your loss.

This is such an honest and sad statement that I wish was wrong, but isn't. Whenever I try to open up to another guy, even some of my best friends, they just can't relate, or make me feel understood, I should say. Talking about depressions and anxiety with another dude feels like chatting about mathematical equations instead of being there for one another. It hurts, but I can't change it.

Oh okay! Sure you can, but I doubt I could be of much help I'm afraid. But I would try to!

I agree, especially how honest people seem to be. I wish I could hug everyone in here and tell them it's okay to be sad.

I get withdrawal symptoms on a regular basis. Cold sweat, ravenous appetite, weak limbs, shaky hands. It's horrible, really.

If you really feel that way, don't be afraid to seek professional help. It can only get better. Hope you'll get better soon!

If you're offering help: Much appreciated, but I'm pretty stable lately. I was just wondering who I would reach out to in a major crisis and who you folks rely on.

Our minds work in mysterious ways, that’s for sure. I‘m thankful that I haven’t hit rock bottom for quite a while. It doesn’t hurt to know whom you can reach out to when you do though.

Oh my bad! Damn, that hurts to hear 🥲 hope you‘re doing okay.

Sorry, second language! What would be the correct phrasing?

I guess that’s the American help line? To anyone that struggles with residency in Germany, there’s the Telefonseelsorge. To bring up the courage and reach out is hard, but no one will ever judge you!

All the meme ones that keep flooding /All. I‘m at around 7 so far?

Damn, all I ever managed was to download some extra RAM.

You can literally go to the woods, pick up a thick branch and start carving away. Only tool you need is a cheap knife, even an old kitchen knife would suffice for starters.

I‘ll bet you a $100 (not really) they are mods on discord as well and their urge to keep control over the community is the real driver for them.

I can totally see how that did happen! It's at least a pretty social and positive community. Not like I regret the time spent, it's more like that I regret the missed opportunities I had in RL because of my anxieties. I'm so happy that you found your wife in FFXIV, that means you get to spend your lax time with them, which is amazing!

Mine should be Monster Hunter with roughly 2-3 k hours across the series. But single-game most played hours should be Final Fantasy XIV with a little more than 1.5k hours.

To be honest: Im not proud of any of this. Most of the time was accumulated when I was much younger and I wish I would've had the courage to engage in meaningful encounters with other people instead. Gaming used to be my main escape mechanism, which helped me get through some rough times, but held my personal progress behind by a good margin. A little playing on the side won't hurt though, nowadays.

Moving from one company that monetizes you to another. Not the brightest idea.
