Starbound, lost family members and my depression

No pressure or anything now

 

Sorry about using this as a place to vent, I just don't have that great people skills.

 

Everyone one hits a rough spot in life. Some more than others depending of so many aspects of life. I 'm glad that things have turned around for you and look forward to playing with you one day hopefully! Good Luck and Safe Travels in the stars!

 

I'm glad you can vent! If you ever want to talk about something, whatever it may be, you can always contact me for a bit of chatting!

 

Reading this made me happy. It is nice to hear that you and your mother is feeling more happy and positive to life.

 

Im glad it made you more happy Neroid!
I really am! Thanks!

 

Reading that your mom is feeling better. I think of it that way. She sees you feeling better and thats what makes HER feel better. It actually goes both ways. Also, listening to the soundtrack (Altair) and reading this. oh boy . I'm glad you're feeling better my friend !

 

This is so touching. I, myself, am also going through violent bits of depression. I feel for you, and I am so glad to have read such a beautiful story.
Good luck!

 

Usually I avoid these types of threads because I don't like "feeling my fleels.", But I decided to give yours a read.

I have learnt to take everything I read on the internet with a pinch of salt, but if your story is true then I really hope the best for you.

I have been lucky enough not to feel depression on anywhere near the level that you must have been feeling it, but whenever I am worried or sad about something my mind seems to "latch on" and almost obsess over something else (recently its been; YouTube, programming, games etc.) that way I don't have to think about the thing I am worried/sad about as much. Might not be the best way to deal with things but its the only way I know. Perhaps this is similar to what you have done with Starbound.

I am glad that your family has taken a turn for the better, and I hope you continue to climb.

Keep your 'head up broseph!

 

I don't know if your gonna read this at this point but I'm glad your life turned around. Computer games as the same effect on me as I need to let go of life and get into another life sometimes. I feels good to switch lives (I feel way better when I kill someone in a game lmao).

You could give a try for other games like FTL which I'm sure you will absolutely love and minecraft. Theres loads of others but those 2 got awesome replay value.

 

What have Starbound, Star Trek and Doctor Who in common?
They make you look less at the past and more at the future.

All the good stuff happens there.

 

I read every comment on here because they all bring me a LOT of joy in my heart to read them.
And yeah, I kind of do that too. My game identity is more fascinating that the real life one aswell

 

Keep your head up MessiahDJ and never give up! All the best for you and your mom

And as FluffyDestroyer said try FTL. Also you can give a try to Galactic Civilizations 2 (best if Ultimate Edition) or Endless Space

 

Im glad you feel that you can speak out on the forums. Its testament to all the cool, understanding people on here. Feel free to talk about your issues, and ignore anyone who might be a dick about it

 

Bro, Don't let anyone get to you...Follow your Dreams and enjoy life for what it is.

Just remember this...Everything happens for a reason. And i totally get why a game would turn your life around, Some games have a connection in different ways with people.

My connection was Wanderlust.

 

Omg can I just like, I don't know, give you a hug? Please.

 

I just got to say, super touching story, and I am so happy to see this amazing game help you and your mom through a hard time, best of luck to you both!

 

I must say, great job with this story! It was very touching.

 

This was a very touching story and I'm glad the game was able to affect you in such a way.

I'm going to lock the thread now, though. Don't take it as if you were in the wrong. You weren't. I'm locking it before the trolls and insulting people come around. Nobody needs to hear that stuff.

Besides, the like button speaks for itself. c=
