My best friend wanted to start a long distance relationship, after a couple of months of daily messaging he told her he will come visit her and wanted to have dinner, and then the bomb came down... the girl had just started seeing someone else, at least she was honest I guess.
Anyway he shut down from the world, didn't want to see or speak to anyone. Not his mom, his sister or a friend. So I left him to cool off a couple of hours then I showed up at his house, I wasn't too far from it anyway, I gave him a hug and he pushed me away, gave him another one and he cursed at me and pushed me again, gave him a 3rd one and he finally sort of accepted it since he finally didn't push me back hehe.
I just sat beside him while we browsed YouTube and talked about trivial shit for a couple of hours, when I heard him laugh at some videos I knew I did the right thing. When depression strikes hanging out with your loved ones for a couple of hours helps a ton, after that he thanked me and asked me for some alone time, which I gave it to him, at least he was in a far better mood :]
So yeah, have a hug from an Internet stranger right here and now :3

If DesertMouse1 is back, then I guess I should come back to make bloggy emo posts too.
Elections put me in a shitty mood, and I've been trying to stay of the internet for a while because playing into fear ain't healthy or helpful, but that obviously ain't working since I'm here.
My therapy isn't going well because the appointments keep getting pushed due to my psychologist being sick or me being late. I need to learn to drive so I don't have rely on my mom getting me everywhere. However, doing shit is hard 'cause of anxiety, ain't they ain't giving me meds for that until January. I've taken up smoking till then because that at least works.
On a positive note, I'm getting another job. I might be able to get through it with the help of my brother who works there, as much as it hurts my pride. Progress on transition is way slower than I wanted 'cause of my anxiety and lack of money, but I'm motivated and putting more effort into making myself happy than I ever have. My suicidal thoughts still get bad, but there easing.
I'm trying to improve my health and hygiene. I'm drinking more water now, and using lotion and cleaning my face. Other things I'm working on, but haven't been able to make it habit yet, such as showering and brushing my teeth more, even when I don't have to go out, and dieting and exercise. Unfortunately, with these good health habits, I've also started smoking. Counterproductive, but I won't get anxiety meds until January, and I don't know if they will work, while smoking does.
Anyway, You're Never Alone.

Heck, you've got me beat there.
I tried to give away the same game a little bit ago, but totally ran out of slots for the next couple weeks. Glad you're feeling like you're improving. Keep fighting the good fight.

All updated. Back out of state for a week again tomorrow to complete the second month of my "1, maybe 2 week" work trip, so the next update is almost definitely going to be in a week, since 80+ hour weeks don't leave much time for much of anything. On the bright side, this "should" be my last week.

Hope for you, that it is the last of such weeks. In my experience, once you started, bosses tend to throw more weeks like that your way :/

Yeah, it's only one other co-worker and my boss actually out on this trip, and even he didn't know about the additional days. Since week 4, he's been pretty short and will snap a lot. It's gotten real bad, So this better be the last week.

After going through a recent event where someone very close to me was feeling depressed and suicidal, thought I'd make some GA's to get a point across. If you are feeling this way, there is help, and people out there want to help. You're not alone and you are cared about. If you are not of this state of mind, realize that you could be the difference between them getting help, or doing the unthinkable. You will most likely never know how, who, or how many you helped, but that should make no difference. It just matters that you were there. Go and be the best you that you can be. If anyone out there needs someone, i accept all steam friend requests and will reply as soon as i see your message.
Try and keep the thread alive for a while so that more can see it. May i suggest pictures of cats? Anything really.
I'm going to attempt to update this thread once again once a week, between Friday and Sundays.

EDIT: If you choose to bump with a GA, especially a higher level, and wish for it to be featured on the active GA portion, I suggest a week or longer running length. It can sometimes be a number of days before I can edit this to add new GA's. It's also super helpful if it's in
formatI'm switching to a table format. Not required, but it would let me update the main post more, as it currently takes a while, which means less updates.
EDIT: Total number of GA's added to thread as of last update- 1687+
Note that this is likely much higher. From pages 54-94, I assume all trains to contain only 3 games, while they are likely much higher in number.
GA log of past record
I'm no longer going to keep a detailed log of past GA's. It was simply too much work.
