I think NITW gave me an emotional crisis
After seeing everything, well, almost everything,
I havn't been able to sleep.
I just, lay in bed, thinking about how messed up my life is,
only getting sleep after becoming so exosted that I can't stay awake.
Thinking how I wish I could have gon to collage.
Thinking how i'm 30 and still live with my mom.
Thinking how I live in the midle of nowhere, in the frikin woods, in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ traler.
Thinking how I can't get a job,
becouse no-one will gie me a chance,
becouse they see that I have ADHD,
aspergers, autism, and dyslexia, and are like, no thanks.
they say it's becouse I don't have the right skills.
but they don't know my skills.
i might have technikly lived that past 11 years as a hermit,
but i've mantained an IQ of 149,
have common scense, an open mind, and the ability to think outside the box.
i could literly learn anything, if taught it.
when I was in preschool I had high-school math skills.
math was the only class i got consistant As in.
history was my 2nd best class.

the only things that give me any comferet are my baby kitties,
call me a crazy cat man, but I have 5 cats.
Well, my mom has 5 cats.
We had 9 in the curent house at one time,
Bella, mommy cat of 5, got killed with a golf club by my naughbor's now ex wife,
Blaze, got lymphoma cancer, he died.
Tabitha, got kidnapped by the same ex wife and abandoned miles down the road,
Mocha also got Lymphoma, but he was a fighter, and lived a lot longer then Blaze,
be he died too.

I'm home alone with the cats every day all day while mom is off working,
or whatever.
I rarly get the chance to go anywhere,
since we live outside of walking distance from anywhere.

I'm so damn lonely, it hurts, it hurts so bad.
And this game made me feel it so much more, for better and for worse.
At least I'm 95% sure NITW is at least partially to blame.
It hit a little to close to home, I think the saying is.

I want to hold them in my arms so bad,
but they are just characters in a game, so that will never happen.

Yah, the characters in this game are strong and well written. It's hard not to think about them.

No branch of the US military will take someone with ADHD or anything on the autism spectrum, they want "normal, mentally sound people" because...reasons. I don't know.

All I know is I know someone who got booted from the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ marines of all things, the branch of the military that takes thugs and vagrants for ♥♥♥♥'s sake, because as a kid they went to therapy and briefly had a diagnosis of ADD brought on from living in a troubled house causing stress and depression.

♥♥♥♥ our military.

This is the same game they rewrote and couldn't make the locations bigger or add more locations. They sacrificed more locations for a refined story, which is a good thing.

It makes going from point A to point B easier.

It's quite the roller coaster of emotion. The concept of getting older without growing up, friends moving on in life and planning for the future instead of simply living for today, stress, and family.

Until eldritch horrors and the murder cult of dads turns everything upside down.

Though the characters are relatable and the story really cuts deep at some points, the later points of the game actually become... painful.

Especially when you step away for a moment and look at them, and then you realize it.

All of the characters you came to care about and feel attached to, they are all just, well...

So it wasn't just me. I had awful mood dive for over a week, literally wished I didn't wake up when those awful thoughts come crashing down on you again.
Did you finish the game? Case you didnt I'll write here. Despite how awful I felt because of this game, I'd say the ending is sort of optimistic - Mae says that "I want to hold on, until I'm thrown off and everything ends. And you know what? Until that happens, I want to hope again. And I want it to hurt. Because that means it ment something. It means I am... something, at least. Pretty amazing to be something, at least. /.../ I know this won't save me in the end but I don't need it to save me forever. I just need it to save me now."
I think we all need to find that something that can save us for now, whatever that might be, even if it's little things. Try to find our own sense of purpose and reason. Because objectively I dont think there is one, really.
Gotta try and make the most of it.

The only things I have to hold onto, are things i've been holding onto for years.
... My mom, cats, and bro.

i wish i had real life friends, that I could go hangout with, and eat pizza with.

Looks like the game gave you a sense of self-awareness that you weren't prepared for

I'm pretty awkward at social stuff but idk, if you ever want anyone to talk to, you can shoot me a message? I sorta know how you feel and I know how much it can suck. Just wanna let you know you're not alone in this despite how dark and hopeless things might seem
