My fighter against an assassin who we suspected killed an NPC in the first session.
We are down in the mud, grappling. I fumbled my sword and he got me good (crit), leaving me quite vulnerable. The other party members were nearby but not in range.
I pulled out a dagger and got a crit of my own, ending his life with less than 5 hp left of my own.
Later that night I realized that dagger I’d killed him with was looted from the NPC’s pack. I’d gotten revenge on her behalf, using her own knife against her murderer.
I’ve been in therapy for 10 years, and with my current therapist for 4 of them. I love him and he’s great, and don’t get me wrong therapy is a life saver, but I recently hung out with a childhood friend and we talked about some deep things. My therapist is a pro and doesn’t offer advice other than helping perspective...
“Save it for Tuesday” is a shit attitude in my opinion. A little more constructive would be “I’m glad you opened up to me and here’s what I think but that also sounds like something to discuss with your therapist.”
I can’t offer any other good advice as I’ve only seen a therapist once but I’d assume it’s possible to get as much as you can out of one person and then find someone else who can help you grow further.
(Just realized this is the bipolar group and I’m depressive and anxious but not bipolar, fwiw.)
It’s gotta be exhausting to work in a workspace, warehouse, or factory, not knowing which it will be day to day! At least they arrive knowing the random workplace is ventilated!
That was the first computer game I was ever gifted, and the copy protection made it not want to boot on our Apple IIe.
So I’d leave it trying to boot and after a half hour or so it’d load.
There were multiple solutions to every problem and a completely nonviolent ending.
On one screen you’d have to hide behind a tree and wait a few minutes for the giant or ogre to fall asleep so you could take what he had or sneak past. If course the only alternative there was violence.
There were also totally obvious puzzles as the screen drew slowly enough for you to see the hole before the rock you could move was drawn ontop of it.

All you can reasonably do is help him get in touch with resources to help him recover.
And then, if he gets sober and starts to get his affairs in order, you can be supportive.
But his multiple severe challenges coupled with the fact that he has a family who could be supportive of him if he had been supportive of them lead me to warn you to limit your exposure here.
It’s too much and you’ll get overwhelmed, even if he’s able to cope.
But being a supportive friend, knowing he has someone in his life who hasn’t fully written him off can still be valuable.

First let me be clear: I’m not a crazy conspiracy person (…on this) I just don’t rely on a municipal well. As far as I know adding fluoride to the private well at my houses is not a thing, good or bad. I did drink municipal water for two years when I lived on campus in college....
I’m only confused because I can’t understand the conflict between the two statements. I certainly don’t disagree with your second paragraph.
If you think he was saying the protesters will not vote for Biden, I kind of understand your point but that is also part of why Biden may be making the changes he is, which means again that you are both right - assuming the protesters decide Biden is worth voting for.
