I know that during these times many of us are going through a really hard patch. I figured maybe we could have a thread where we post how we feel so we know that we are not the only ones out there feeling this way. You can get as personal or as vague as you want but please don't be afraid to tell us how you are feeling. Maybe you just need to vent. maybe you just need to scream at the world and tell everyone how unfair things are. It's ok. Maybe no one is listening, maybe the world is. It's ok. Tell me and us whats going on. How do you feel. If things are really bad then please contact your local suicide prevention hotline which is only a google away. Don't forget that you are not alone, and that even though we may be be a world apart, we are only a screen away. It's ok to feel how you do. It's ok to feel hopeless and abandoned. A lot of us feel the same and know the blight. Let it out. There are many of us who will never know you but know what you feel when you share. There are many of us who need to see that others are feeling the same to remember we are not alone. I'm one of those and maybe that's why I made this thread. A lot of us use D&D as an outlet. We use this as a way to stop being who we really are and get to be the ideal person we see ourselves able to be. I for one have notices that most of m characters are light hearted and try to bring a smile to others. Maybe this is because I am the one who needs a person like this.
There are no wrong answers here. Please do not degrade anyone here. This is just to get some of that pent up depression out. Its for those of use who fell like no one hears us. It's ok.
Anyway. here is one of my entries in, I don't really know, it's just some text that I feel I needed to get out.
It's hard. Really hard. I can't do D&D how I used to, and how I prefer, and it was my main way of coping. The world is in so much chaos. I've been depressed for awhile, but ignoring it. It's my senior year of high school, and I'm graduating. I don't really care at all about the ceremonies and all that crap, but my future was essentially put on pause by this pandemic. It just ruined everything. I hate having to do this, but I understand that we have to do this to save lives. I would gladly sacrifice my happiness to have other lives be saved. It's crappy, though.
My parents got divorced 6 months ago. I'm 18, but it still turned my world upside down. Then, the world not only shut down, but everything started turning to crap. 2020 is a terrible year. It was supposed to be good, but very quickly turned out to be the worst year in my life so far. I was about to start going to therapy, but the same week that I decided to do so, and take action to get help, the whole world went on pause.
It's not helpful that I have autism, which makes my emotions detached and tangled. I don't understand anything about who I am and will be anymore. It's just awful. I'm not suicidal, I could never commit suicide, but it just sucks. There's not much good going on in the world anymore, it seems. George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Murder Hornets, Twitter Wars, Politicizing a Disease, it just seems like everything wants to suck this year.
Thanks, RevelTheMad for creating this thread. I hope more people who are having a tough time post as well and receive help in any way they can. I'm sorry to anyone else who is feeling this way as well. I'm hoping you're all staying healthy and safe, mentally and physically.

I just heard that a guy I went to high school with died of corona. I haven’t seen him in about twenty years, but I still feel the sense of loss.
Then, last week, this really nice old dude who used to hang out at the local auto mechanic’s workshop died of corona. He was 70 and in poor health but super cool. I never quite understood what his connection to the auto shop was, but he was always there with tea and snacks and hanging out with the management, employees, and customers. He was from a country with a civil war in it and wasn’t able to get his wife out of there yet, and she’s the same age as him. I keep wondering if his kids (who’re older than me) can take care of their mom. It’s a real kick in the crotch to hear about that affecting such a cool local person.
Hey all,
