Really guys? I moved in with my loving girlfriend and became positive about my future employment.
Huh.
I dunno, I played it according to my personal feelings; always push yourself, always be honest, stay the fuck away from drugs, and be a good friend to people.
Also fuck cats.
I got that basically. But I got the cat.
The end thing was essentially, 'I'm good. Depression never really goes away, but I know how to deal with it. Job kind of sucks, but I can easily get through it, and my girlfriend and I are really building a life together.'
I was diagnosed with clinical depression a few years ago. Said 'no' to medication, and just really pushed past it all. It was really hard, and even up until about a year ago, I still had times when I felt suffocated and practically couldn't move.
I still feel a bit paranoid, and things people say to me hit harder than they should, and can easily bother me for the rest of the day, but I'm doing much better. I'm glad I managed to complete the game in the way that very accurately reflects my real life situation.
I also have a friend who was recently diagnosed with depression. He's in therapy, and seems to be doing quite well with it. I know he's probably going to have very difficult times though.
If he ever needs it, I'm going to tell him, quite truthfully, me and the others have never been unhappy to see him, and he's a great guy. I wish someone had told me that a couple of years ago.
