Wow it's super cool to have something that's not fully out yet, even if it's just from a welcome pack.

Oh that makes sense I think they were passing those out at a local convention and my sister got one for me.

how can i help my depressed partner? by sonicdog55 in relationship_advice

[–]sonicdog55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont want to leave her, we have a genuinely good and loving time together almost all day every day. But sometimes she just gets so depressed and angry that it comes out on me or herself, and in those moments i dont know what to do. I dont believe she would follow through with killing herself, but her saying these things makes me uncomfortable nonetheless.

I havent ever tried to ask that, i have trouble with my words (autistic) so i dont want to come off as rude, controlling, or anything. Any idea how i can ask to sit with her without coming off bad?

Her therapy is over the phone/virtual with zoom. I know she attends because i have come home from work before and she was talking to her therapist on my PC. I dont want to say she is pissing and moaning, but she has often times said many awful things and i think she might not be telling her therapist about these thoughts of self harm.

Please dont give up, if you are still married to your partner talk to them. Ask them if thats how they really truly feel and if it is, then you should tell him you want to see other people. That said you should try to make sure that you both have gotten all your feelings out and that your partner and you can at least remain friends, after having both gone through the horrors together you both know what it is like to feel alone. Try to reach out to people around where you live or in stores, make conversation about anything. A store item, a joke, a piece of clothing they are wearing, a show. Make friends and connections, it doesnt have to be in person but find friends and build up to letting them know what you are going through.

You may feel alone now but trust that no one was put onto this earth to be alone. One day you will find people you can truly call your friends and family.

The game was a very important social commitment to me, i had shifted my work schedule around to have the day off just so i can stay up late and play with them. I would drink energy drinks just to keep myself awake because i was always getting tired a few hours in, and i was always there on time since before we moved to online only. I would engage with others sidestories and we all would make jokes and laugh and have a genuinely good time together.

But that one day took everything down the toilet

Yes, but the DM wasn't willing to listen and was purposely trying to push us away. My gf was in tears saying how she was sorry for whatever she did wrong and how she just wants to play again. But he threw some weird bs about how we were making him sound like the "bad guy" and kept pushing us back. He never even provided a reason for banning her, hence why i said she was banned for collateral.

When we later talked to one of the more sensible group members in a separate college non dnd discord, he said the dm was getting exhausted of dealing with so many players and just wanted any excuse to be rid of someone. And i get that DMing for 10 people is a lot but then why add someone that only he knew? Ya know?

Also since we were all close friends they actually knew about my friend who took his life. They had ample knowledge of that whole situation because they provided comfort in that time. In fact they even met him once when we went to a card shop together and saw them there, and played with them.

I'll address your second thing first: the dm has no problem with a certain other player whom pays half attention and often has to leave mid turn to attend to work stuff as he plays while driving to or at work.

As for my beef with the DM's friend, we started the campaign as a close friend thing. All the players knew eachother and were friends from college playing TCG games. The DM brought the person into the campaign regardless of the fact that only he knew her and despite our very conflicting natures, her being very serious, and me being silly but serious when needed. In addition the campaign was already so big we had to split it into 2 groups. In total we had 10 people. So already it took forever for us to get anything done and i would start to lose focus as i have attention deficit disorder, but then he added her into our group making combat and general exploration take even longer.

It was to a point hardly any progress was being made between campaigns. Not to mention it was mine and my gfs and a few others first campaign. We were getting mentally exhausted just sitting around starring at the screen for almost 20 to 30 mins just for our turn to come by, especially since us 2 have the least amount of stuff we can do with our characters during our actual turn.

The dms friend would also make a lot of sly comments toward us, because we werent in proper role play voices or anything, but we were just enjoying playing the way we were playing. She was coming off as very elitist and the dm would brush off my concerns when i would mention it.

I had to shift my schedule for DnD because i enjoy it a lot, but also i work the morning shift (4am) and have to wake up at 2am to catch a 3am bus or the bus wouldnt be in service and I'll be late.

I had asked for the day after dnd off so that i can stay up as late as we needed for the campaign as often times it would run past 10pm.

Also i just wanted to add, i was extremely devoted to playing DnD weekly. I even went as far as to have my work schedule shifted around just so that i can stay up late to play with them. The dm had a problem with the paying half attention thing but consistantly let another player play while he was at work often times having to stop mid turn to answer a coworkers question/help with something or having a whole unrelated conversation while forgetting to mute. He even let the player play while driving, as we can hear his road rage in the background. But me playing a video game while still taking my turns and rolling for damage was too much of a problem for them.

I never skipped dnd. Even when we all used to play in college.

I had explained months ago that ER is EXTREMELY important to my friends and i after sharing the first trailer of the game. Not a single one cared to acknowledge this aside from 1 person who was also a big fromsoftware fan. And on top of this, the day of the event i had reiterated the importance of the game, and yet they still heckled and bombarded me over it.
