I've read the whole thread so far, and others have already said most proper ways of your situation (amazing suggestion that tree climbing! Haven't thought of that!). Going for a walk REALLY helps. I do it, when something has made me sad.

But, since we're in a gaming forum, let me also advise you to play, of your game library, one-hero single-player RPGs! Because (as I see these games, at least):
One Hero (as opposed to controling a team) gives you minimal micromanagement of your character. So, not many skills, spells, "where to spend these points?" kinda stuff. Thus, you can progress easily and quickly (except for Souls-like games, of course :) ).
RPGs let you solve NPCs' problems/quests. This will make you feel better. That you're helping, even digital, people and make their world a better place for them. Especially if that game doesn't have enemy respawn (so, dead monsters stay dead).
Single-player (as opposed to multiplayer) allows you to get in the game whenever you like/feel so, without any obligation that "I have to be there at that time".
You are the hero of yourself.

I having the OG Diablo installed and Diablo 2 also. Playing minimal interaction games like this can be soothing when upset.

I hope you do understand that you just registered, but your talk is the talk of an old user.
Somewhat is hard to trust that you aren't somebody else, maybe already on this forum.
I can ignore that thought for you and give you advice, take no advice.
Also learn to ignore your feelings, especially when triggered by people you don't know.
Keep to your passion, reality, and like-minded people who choose to go the same way, maybe the same tree.

Quit? What life? Sheep. Never. We are all done one day anyway.
Quit, what, games? Jesus. Games are God-given things, just look at quantum physics, and you will find out.
Please consider your time is limited, and your expiry date falls well before the expiry dates of codes bought on GOG (2199). Play games you want to play.
Also, we are reaching Blue Moonday, the saddest day of the year, and somehow, statistically, everyone is more blue this month.
If your only walk is for shopping, choose a far shop with a road leading through nature, or something inspiring.

Man, you can do anything. Also, quit everything and start over. Just do something and watch the results, not what people would say about your actions, but the true meaningful outcome for your soul. The fish tank is nice ^ I love being too late in a thread. Anyone who wrote in this thread cares for you one way or the other.

Do you need a blessing? Just sneeze ^

Had account here long ago. Decided to drop it and starting anew. I am like this at totaly new places also, I just get right into the posting and having at it. Maybe because I use and am being used to forums more than social medias?

Just got into new game last night. Am feeling somewhat better. Thanks for advice also which I will 'not be taking'.

Shmacky-McNuts: In English, I get annoyed with people putting an S at the end of a word that does not require it. Like Armor, Fish or Fire.
If the context is right, no problem. Armors and fires are real words when used correctly. Fishs is not correct at all.

Nope....because that is poor grammar. But you have a legion of people that dont care on your side bud. It is a futile gesture as I have already pointed out. So getting upset changes nothing. As was my point.

Just as an example, should you want one; That which is mass, like fire, must be used in a sentence to describe more than one location. Because such things are from an indivual perspective. Unless you are The Borg, you only have one perspective. Your own. Fire does not have a plural S.

In a sentence:
There is a problem in California recently. Different parts of the state have fire swathing through large portions of different counties in the north.

No worries mate. Yer safe. Im not trying to convince anyone. Just giving an example.

FarkyTheDog: CYOA books are being very nice to read. Would like if they made more gritty serious ones for older age groups.
If you like Fantasy there's the Lone Wolf series (lots of books) though is nothing like the Witcher levels of grittiness.

Also if you like Cthulhu I can vouch for the Choose Cthulhu series and there's an Arkham Horror one which is supposed to be good (Darkness Over Arkham) and there's a new one coming this year (Tides of Innsmouth). The Choose Cthulhu killed me (or side characters) more than I can count (impaled, devoured by an Ancient One, destroyed by the Dunwich Horror, a Star Vampire sucked the life of a side character in a pretty graphic way... etc...).

Finally, still with Cthulhu, you have the "Alone Against the..." series (Flames is free, Frost, Darkness, Tides and Static are all paid). Is a solo RPG adventure for the Call of Cthulhu RPG 7th Edition. You can play with just the Alone PDF, the Quick-Start Guide (which in the Flames case is optional, and also free) and a D100 die. Pretty cool actually.

LOL.

Interesting way to describe it. Don't forget to mention your bouquet of alt accounts. Here are links to two of your recent ones.

Precisely what I'm talking about. Fires is a real word, it just has to be used in the correct context. Firefighters are battling multiple fires in a certain district. Not multiple fire.

Fire does have a plural S. Many different masses of fire are fires.

Its fine bud. You dont need to bother. Consensus does not mean correct. I really dont care to convince you.

This sounds interesting. Might look into it some day when at the book store or library.
