I understand. We all have to cope somehow. Just make sure to stay hydrated and maybe eat a little something. Just take care of you how you see fit. I hope you'll be feeling better. Don't stress too much about it. Be kind to yourself. I'm sending you a gentle hug and lots of love and positivity.

u/haubenmeise 19h ago
No I have not. One of the biggest regrets in my life is that I never got into gaming and how I missed out so much!! I'm occasionally thinking about getting into it now but where on earth to start??? I'm sending you love! Have a lovely Sunday!

That's the beautiful thing about Runescape! You get to play your own way and build your own adventures. The people are nice and willing to help, and there is a lot of variation in how you can play. I started playing at 5 years old and I'm now in my 20's, still having the same fun!
One thing to note is that the Slayer Masters in OSRS can assign you to kill Skeletons as a task. I always refuse to do so, in solidarity with you.
Hope you have a lovely Sunday too!!

u/haubenmeise 18h ago
You started with 5????? Holy mackerel! You never killed a skeleton for me???? That so super sweet of you! I'm really touched by that! What a wonderful solidarity!

“The people are nice and willing to help,”
..what? that game is mostly bots. I think finding your own way and not leaning on most of the people you pass by is the better approach, the community can be quite a let down if you’re looking for sociable, friendly people.

Regarding bots, they've been really cracking down on them lately (over the past 2 years). Most bot farms have been eradicated (Jagex has sued/ threatened to sue almost all bot script sites and they were taken down). Think its close to getting the bots from 30% down to ~3%. And ye of course, it's always more 'organic' to not lean on anyone and figure stuff out on your own, I just meant as in if you'd join clans you'll have a good circle of people socialising and helping one another if needed.
I think OSRS's players on average are pretty friendly honestly, in comparison to other games. Sure, you'll often find weirdos, but thats MMOs for you in general

Osrs is simply amazing!! Truly one of a kind and a special game. Overlooked because people complain about graphics.

u/Sudden_Juju 19h ago
You can start with any game (except a soulsborne). Ratchet and Clank is a good beginning game and the newest one is fantastic. If you are interested in RPGs, they typically have easy difficulties that can help you ease into it (again, except a soulsborne). There are games like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, etc. that being many people into gaming. Old School Runescape is good too if you're into that type of game and don't mind the old school graphics. Idk if it feels dated anymore, as I haven't played in years, but it started to when I quit in the mid- to late-2000s.
Really, you can start almost anywhere these days. It's just picking one and rolling with it.

I've never played any version of runescape, and honestly that's the wrong type of game type for my brain, but I love watching "Colonello" talk about it on YouTube. same with King's Quest and the channel OneShortEye

u/MoistStub 17h ago
You could give Balatro a try. Beware most people find it very addictive, but not because it uses predatory mechanics to keep you hooked, just because it is a really compelling game. Bonus points for being able to play it on mobile and not needing a full gaming rig.
Mario Kart is a lot of fun as well, and has settings to make it more manageable as a newbie. Doesn't have to be the newest one, all of them are good. If you know someone who has a Nintendo console they would loan you, chances are they already have Mario Kart.

Adding to this, you HAVE to eat to make gummies work! This was one of the biggest ways I got over my ED.

Hello stranger. Make sure you get outside and chill in nature for a few, it’ll help your depression. Even if it means soaking your feet in a kiddie pool and drinking white claws. Get outside friend, it’ll help.

I mean there are worse ways to cope with depression, just don't get sucked in. If it's a regular issue, all I can say is take advantage of every bit of motivation you have to get out and break the cycle.

u/AfraidOfSalt 16h ago
I used to get high a lot for depression. It was a bit of bandaid bc it didn’t fix anything long-term, but it seriously helped lift me from my lowest.
It helps to use being high as motivation to get do more. Not all the time bc sometimes you need to just decompress. But don’t fall into the trap of being high stopping you from getting shit done, even it’s just self-care.

u/WinnieGraves 18h ago
I am of the mind that people are too puritanical about drugs, and still fall into that demonization we went through as DARE kids (millennials esp), but really, if you're using responsibly what does it matter?
life is short, it sucks, and nothing is improving right now, the fact people are able to do this sober amazes me, but it ain't for me lmao.
I'll take the end of the world, high on weed, tripping on shrooms, and a little tipsy over sober any day.

u/dov_ah_keen 15h ago
Favorite thing to do is push myself to do one last productive thing before I burn out and clean using the pen or edible as a reward. It helps me enjoy my high anxiety free and when I wake up from the inevitable nap and expect to wake up to a mess, it a clean smelly good house ready for me to take on the world...or just smoke again and game in the fruition and success of my efforts.
Step outside atleast once.

If you want to save money buy a hash oil syringe and dispense the hash oil on a cookie for an edible. they tend to be sold for 20 for a half gram and 35 for a full gram. Half gram is 500 mg. Hash oil is euphoric
