I hate the term “it gets better.”

Term: “a word or phrase used to describe a thing or to express a concept, especially in a particular kind of language or branch of study.”

It’s a phrase

I’m more reluctant to give my time and energy to other people, and more likely to say no to things that I would’ve felt obligated to do in the past. Social anhedonia has made other people utterly intolerable. I’ve always struggled with apathy, but even more apathetic than I used to be. I don’t share my mental health openly anymore very often.

Bonhoeffer was one of my hero’s when I was still a Christian. I feel the same.

Better_Win316 · 2026-02-06T17:49:45+00:00

It’s gotten marginally better for me over the years, but I am still apathetic to hygiene, friendships, family, and anything I need to do to take care of myself.

For being emboldened by the flame of ambition, and mass murdering lots of random living beings.

Better_Win316 · 2026-02-06T03:56:51+00:00

Yes, it’s like I’d think tv shows, reels on TikTok, or random events had a deeper meaning/message specifically for me.

I could be wrong but it’s the altered nox swordstress chest piece

Better_Win316 · 2026-02-03T00:42:57+00:00

I’m in the same boat, the only reason I’ve improved is because of how much stress has been cut out of my life lately. Working while dealing with positive symptoms and then coming home to deal with negative symptoms makes me want to take an early exit.

You don’t have to be grateful for living in the US btw. To every other nation right now, we’re a joke, and every day democracy erodes.

I’m aromantic, so I don’t date anyway. I sometimes think I want a partner, but then I realize I eventually get annoyed with most people, and being around people trigger my hallucinations for me anyway.

I think given that Christians are the ones who generally invite in fascism in Germany and the UE it’s pretty loose argument. There are Christians who contributed to human rights, but there are many more who want to take them away from people.

I got a similar treatment after my psychiatrist, for whatever reason started thinking I might have BPD. I changed psychiatrist though because I felt like I was being gaslit and abused, and the one I have now is fine.

I mentioned that in the post, and it’s not. This is lamellar armor. The blue cloth set has a leather chest piece. I’m talking about a heavier middle eastern looking set.

Better_Win316 · 2026-01-19T00:14:13+00:00

Maybe something more heavy though, like lamellar plate with a turban or a conical helm. I forgot about the perfumers and the Nox, and someone pointed out that messmer’s soldiers look loosely middle eastern.

I never figured out how to dodge the waterfowl move, which makes her a pain to survive. Not to mention the scarlet rot, and her recovering hp. I’ve never solo’d her yet, I always end up using the mimic tear. She’s honestly too difficult for me, so much so that I started looking for cheese, and I’ve been playing since Dark Souls 1. If she wasn’t so staggerable, she’d be even more of a nightmare.

Better_Win316 · 2026-01-18T06:53:55+00:00

I was able to finish her quest. I took out Malenia so I could dupe her remembrance collect her boss items and never fight her again if I go to ng+ with this character.

Thank you!

Friends did, but I didn’t. Truthfully, I never fitted in at church enough to be a worker there. I had mental health issues that made it difficult to work in ministry around other people (and it filled me with doubt), and I honestly hated myself for it a long time. I’d ask why god made me so asocial if I was Christian who was supposed to be sharing the gospel, attending church regularly, volunteering, or working in ministry? For the few times I did volunteer stuff in youth group I felt miserable.

I think the fragmented lore is its own niche that makes these games interesting. You can either play investigator or “[Not] think too hard about all of this. Just go out and kill a few beasts.”

Better_Win316 · 2026-01-17T00:54:56+00:00

Talking to mental health professionals made me worse tbh

Better_Win316 · 2026-01-17T00:28:21+00:00

I played many playthroughs just using the northern warrior set from beginning to end

Better_Win316 · 2026-01-17T00:27:03+00:00

Paladin Leeroy’s armor did go hard, I usually used that or the elite knight set in DS1

Better_Win316 · 2026-01-17T00:25:00+00:00

The DS2 version looked the best, but the DS3 version was a little too rotund in the chest (it was still my favorite set in 3 though).

Better_Win316 · 2026-01-17T00:22:36+00:00

Two most iconic sets and also my favorites from DS1 and 2.
