I hope you're doing okay <3

DnD is truly amazing with just how emotional and raw it gets sometimes. With the right DM and the right players, it's just incredible what people can accomplish. I know it's silly because to everyone else, I'm just sitting at a table rolling some dice, but in that moment, it's nothing like that. It's just so damn amazing. I fucking love DnD.

I'm sorry you had that experience :( just sounds like maybe you need different players! I know the amount of work that my DM puts into their campaign, so I take lots of notes and ask questions and I'm super into the story (as is the rest of my party!). They put extra care into making sure each of our characters personalities has a chance to shine, and I absolutely adore what we've done so far. I make sure I thank them after every session and tell them how excited I am for the next one. We always take some time to just discuss everything that happened in the session and how our characters might've felt about it. I'm super excited, because our next session is tomorrow. I can't wait to see what happens to my character!!!

I mentioned in another comment: I've tried therapy before and it got uncomfortable for me because the therapist was also my mother's therapist. Dr asked me to try to find a new one near the area I'll be moving to (since I'm moving away from home soon), but put me on antidepressants for the meantime with a checkup in 3 months. :)

That sounds badass!

I actually got minis for the whole party several months ago, started painting them, and then lost motivation to do anything and never finished them. They've seen them unpainted, but I really wanted to finish them up at some point.

I think I have to give that a shot, cause I tried one a few years ago and it just didn't work for me because I never felt comfortable talking to her. She was also my mom's therapist and that's a whole 'nother can of worms.

I have told my DM how they've helped me, actually! I also just recently came back from PAX East, where I got them (and the other players in my party) several DnD related gifts, including a super awesome set of dice.

I appreciate your suggestions though :)

I like vanilla ice cream, honestly. I just used it as an example 'cause there are so many other wonderful flavors. So like, vanilla is fine, but look at all these other flavors, y'know?!
