This past weekend, I made it through one of the big bosses in act 3 of Baulder’s Gate. I wept like a child over Karlach’s monologue about how she still feels empty after killing the guy who sold her to devils, and it didn’t change the fact that she was going to die. What’s the point of it all?

    Well, my mom died two weeks ago and my girlfriend of eight years left me this week, I suspect once the shock wears off the flood gates will open.

      My input is meaningless, but thought it might be worth sharing from experience that everyone processes grief differently, and in their own time.

      A support network helps, whether that be friends, family, or even a professional. Doesn’t need to be right away, but having someone to talk to or confide in when the time is right can help with managing grief in a healthy way before the proverbial levee breaks.

    One of my kids said thank you for some work I did to help them.

    It’s hard being a parent. Even a little gratitude can go a long way.

    Found my depressed little brother going to his garden finding a bit of joy. It was so nice to see him better.

    Worrying that my ADHD 8 yr old won’t have any friends that aren’t relatives because he is so weird with other kids and they lose patience with him.

      ❤️ autistic, ADHD adult. I cried watching the movie “I swear” last night about a boy through to man with Tourettes syndrome. It’s too relatable just how hard life can be why you’re different. I liked the message of the movie though which was that the disability isn’t the problem, it’s the lack of education for society that puts up the barriers. A lot of truth in that.

      I hope your son finds people who he connects with without having to change who he is.

    Telling my therapist that my birthday is coming up and I just wish there was one person besides my dad who would wish me a happy birthday or want to go hiking or something with me on my birthday but I don’t have any friends or anyone in my life who would even know I have a birthday.

      It shouldn’t be too hard to find people to go on a hike. Maybe look around for local hiking communities?

      Friends aren’t magic, they don’t appear out of thin air, you have to find them and make them yourself. Go out, find a group, and let things happen

      What are you doing to make new friends? If the answer is nothing, stop doing that and try something else.

    Like just a tear or two or full on weep? Because I would prefer not to dig in my memory for weeping, but just a tear or two? Cat claw in boob.

    I went to apply for a US Passport…

    Then I remembered that a lot of immigrants from Fujian are undocumented…

    And like… I have been in highschool with these kids whose parents are from Fujian…

    And I kinda just felt sad…

    Cuz I’m also from China, but I got lucky and got citizenship… and they didn’t…

    So I just cried… :/

    Cuz I can imagine what it’s like with the uncertaintly

    I mean… I kinda feel the same in some ways… I mean with current political atmosphere… who even knows anymore… I could get denaturalized and end up the same as them anyways…

    I cry most days. Not usually from sadness. Yesterday there was some tender mpment in my kids’ TV show that made me well up.
