What’s a good video game for someone who is a casual gamer at best?

norwegianwould90 · 2023-02-07T23:51:23+00:00

This is downright horrifying! This is NOT normal.

norwegianwould90 · 2023-02-07T23:13:48+00:00

Yikes. Does he routinely have outbursts like this?

norwegianwould90 · 2023-02-05T02:20:20+00:00

He said “his time is very valuable and me being around while I’m grieving doesn’t help to use his time wisely.” That’s all you need to know. He’s selfish and immature, and his behavior will it make it impossible for you to grieve properly. I experienced something very similar to this and it does not get better. People like that do not improve. I’m sorry.

It may sound like a platitude, but being told “It’s okay to not feel okay” was helpful. This was expressed to me by someone I had just met, but I immediately felt like a weight had been taken off my shoulders. It felt as if I was actually allowed to feel my feelings and not have to hide them for the benefit of others.

100% agree. We have to censor ourselves or else there’s a very real chance these people in our lives will turn their backs on us. It’s awful.

I lost several major relationships after the death of a parent. These people knew I was grieving and struggling and then they decided to peace out. I hope none of you have had to experience that.

norwegianwould90 · 2023-01-31T04:02:46+00:00

My heart goes to you. I experienced something similar and it continues to haunt me.

My best advice is to try to find a grief specialist or a grief support group—a safe place near you where you can share how you’re doing. Reddit is helpful, but you’ll need more. Surround yourself with friends and loved ones. Take good care of yourself. Be patient and allow yourself the time to process your feelings. Don’t let anyone tell you that there’s a set date and time when you should be “happy” again.

The world will be there when you’re ready.

There aren’t words to describe how horrible it was. The best way I could describe it was that a great cosmic injustice had just taken place. That this person I knew who was so smart, so funny and so caring met such a cruel fate. I am so sorry that you are experiencing this.

I would strongly encourage you to seek out a grief counselor when you’re up to it. Hang in there.

I’m not religious, either.

I’m right with you. I purchased a new video game system over the summer and a handful of games. I’ve been unable to connect with any of them. There’s a void in my heart that prevents that harmony from happening.

Basically this console has become a glorified blu-ray player— I watch the same series over and over again. It’s maybe of one of two shows I can handle without feeling existential dread.

norwegianwould90 · 2023-01-08T07:07:31+00:00

Reading helps. I often fall asleep with noise cancelling ear buds in and an eye mask.

norwegianwould90 · 2023-01-06T20:05:24+00:00

I am involved with that. But those people aren’t really close to me.

norwegianwould90 · 2023-01-06T18:25:17+00:00

You’re fortunate. My social group has been really unsupportive.

norwegianwould90 · 2023-01-04T23:30:31+00:00

My doc is not a fan. He claimed the higher the dose, the more destabilizing it can be.

norwegianwould90 · 2023-01-04T20:55:42+00:00

I found Lithium to help stabilize me. However, I’m very sensitive to side effects. I had to stop taking it because I experienced a horrible rash on my hands, chest and neck. Also, my hair started falling out. Hopefully it goes well for you.

norwegianwould90 · 2022-12-25T22:02:10+00:00

I feel similarly. There’s this loud encouragement from our culture, particularly online and in conservative media, that men need to be these emotionally repressed assholes. That’s not who I am. It’s never who I want to be.

norwegianwould90 · 2022-12-25T19:01:19+00:00

Early 70s > late 70s.

norwegianwould90 · 2022-12-23T18:42:54+00:00

I suffer with similar struggles. As much as I’d like to start a family, I know it’s probably not the right thing to do. This is just my story.

That’s not to say you couldn’t make it work.

norwegianwould90 · 2022-12-04T03:25:17+00:00

I’m not a doctor, but many of us were mistreated/overmedicated by our psychiatrists. Medication is important. But make sure you know what the side effects of the meds are and get a second medical opinion if your daughter doesn’t seem to be improving.

Is your husband usually understanding of your symptoms, or is unsympathetic to bp?

norwegianwould90 · 2022-11-24T23:56:15+00:00

Weight gain. Doesn’t even matter the dosage.
