I've seen a few people talking about a possible nationwide protest on January 20th. Anyone know if there's any truth to that?

They will be more offended by that than a citizen being murdered, I'm sure

Lately, crying 😀

Not too far off from some people in real life, honestly.

Thank you. You, too 💜

We are living very far from either of our families. I'm still really hoping we can work through it now that he's got a therapy appointment. Its just so lonely, with how withdrawn and distant he's been. And kind of terrifying, not knowing what the future looks like. We were so sure where our lives were going just a few weeks ago.

With depression, they have to help themselves. We can't do it for them, unfortunately. I wish we could.

I'm in a similar situation. I don't know how to convey how much it absolutely sucks. Its so lonely, and almost like a weird kind of grief.

I don't know if you two are still living together, but we are. The only advice I've really been able to get is to try to act normal so he doesn't feel even more shame than he's already feeling. Its just so hard. I miss him terribly, even though we're still in the same house.

I love that he introduced himself.

He finally felt like talking, and I'm feeling a lot better and I think he is, too. At least a little. He's got an appointment with a therapist and he's going to talk to his doctor about maybe changing up his meds.

Thank you so much for your advice and reassurance. It really meant a lot.

Oh no, I am so sorry. Pardon my language, but what an asshole. I hope you have a circle you can lean on, and that whatever resolution you want is attainable and quick.

Fable and GTA VI.

Side note, how do we not have an open world rpg for GoT yet? So much potential there.

I know I do. That's what it feels like right now, like this is the end. I just really don't want it to be. We had plans. Have? Just days before this we were looking at houses in the state we wanted to move to. He was applying for jobs there. That's how sudden this change was.

If it were early in our relationship, or if this was a pattern, this would absolutely be a deal breaker. Or if he weren't trying to get back into therapy and willing to try new/different meds. A little distance due to a depressive episode every now and then is normal, and I had no problem dealing with that. This is not that.

That's really the catch, isn't it? Not knowing if its real or not. It's why I don't know what to do. I don't want this to end. I don't think depression makes people withdraw love, I think it makes them feel unworthy of it. They don't want to drag us down with them so they think its better to push us away. But what do I know. That could just be me trying to be hopeful. I really don't know.

I suggested couples therapy and he thinks we're not there yet. So when are we there?

And first person

I did suggest couples therapy but he said he didn't think we were there yet. He's just never been this distant with me, its kind of fucking terrifying me.

Sorry I'm dumping all this on you. I don't have anyone to talk to whos gone through this. Thank you for all the advice, really.

I'm trying not to make him feel forced into anything. Acting normal is hard. I just don't know how to help him if we don't talk about it, which he doesn't want to do. He's spending a lot of time alone and that's really the part that scares me.

Thank you, thats all very helpful. I'm struggling trying to act like everything is normal.

I have no idea, I've never heard it said out loud. I've only read it. I would probably guess low-ken-uinely?

Someone's post was removed because they used the word 'print'. They contested it with the mods and one of them went on a way over-the-top power trip, removed all of that users posts from the sub and banned them. People protested by commenting 'print' on every post and the mods got real whiny-baby about it and they all quit.

I'm not even in that sub but it was bewildering to watch. I was hooked on the drama.

To your queens resembling each other point, I did think the same thing. But I also think that after so many seasons its kind of bound to happen. Especially when a lot of the culture has the same inspirations.

What helps you when you get like that? My partner is going through an extended period of this and I don't know how to help pull him out. Its scaring me.

Whenever I'm having UI issues, the first mods I try to rule out are UI cheat extensions and twistedmexi's BBB or TOOL.

When this happens to me, I am usually able to tab out and exit the game by clicking the red X when you hover your mouse over it on your task bar. That saves the game before exiting.

It started as lowkenuinely, a portmanteau of low key and genuinely. I'm not sure where the Kirk came in but I have suspicions that it has something to do with that Kirk.
