CW: self harm, suicide

When I was a teenager i was experiencing extreme mental health issues from a double whammy of depression, ptsd, and issues with home life, leading to self harm and suicidal ideation/attempts. I ended up being committed to an inpatient psychiatric facility. It ended up being psychological torture more than anything, and really only made me better at masking. One of the worst things that stands out still is them putting everyone in a room to watch a video that was 911 recordings of siblings and parents finding their sibling/child after they’d committed suicide and calling 911 distraught and breaking down, interspersed with people talking about how other people are impacted and hurt by those actions. It boiled down to guilting us for what we were going through. Which, when part of your issue is already self-hate and guilt, just caused more pain than anything resembling help.

Seconding everyone who said its one of their favorite games of the past year. I’m about 30 hours in and it’s only been getting better. It’s incredibly well written and performed, and the combat and general mechanics are some of my favorites in video games. If you played Blood and Wine in the witcher 3, you basically get to have all of the cool vampire powers you saw in that. Quickly entered my top 5 favorite games honestly.

Great, instead of HOMES we can remember the great lakes by SHAME

I think it can be summed up as Looking != Leering

No, it would mean if a target didn’t have any dexterity that they would automatically fail it. I believe this would mainly be applying towards objects/the environment, but there are probably other contexts as well.

If anyone needs it, https://quitmormon.com/ was a huge help for me. Lawyer will submit orders to expunge your record from the church for free if you complete a form and get it notarized. I stopped having missionaries and bishops leaving voicemails on my building callbox after that. Nothing like having mystery voicemails from your building box after moving multiple times and not stepping foot in a church for almost a decade.

And the tumor has MAGAstisied.
