This thread was originally about something else, if you want to see the OP of this thread: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GYk_X8BIkUF0VD80M2qaIObrczoVHI19P-mTIh0_ah8/edit?usp=sharing

Now it's about helping people with mental illness get in touch with others who need help. Goons have banded together to create communities. If you're someone lonely, who needs someone to hang out with, or are going through some tough poo poo. It's also for people who want to help, or just hangout. I'm getting help now, I have a therapist, and I'm taking my medicine again. If you see me posting like a crazy person, please remind me to take my medicine. Seriously, I'm writing this while having done so, and I'm a lot less crazy!

Anyways, if you're looking for other goons to hang out with, we have a steam group and a discord!

I made an Oversharing Goons Discord channel. I'll gladly hand it over to Darkoni or whomever is taking the admin reins if requested, but for now, pile on in!

I thought this was a good idea and making a group is free so...

Sup y'all. Any feedback?

Thank you everyone for your attention, as gross as it is to say, it's what I needed most.

I'm leaving the country to try and cure my mental illness. Don't be surprised if I don't come back to post after I mail everything out.

Turtle, don't give up a cat because of a trip. I mean, I don't even like cats, but you seemed like a straight shooter in mine craft all those years ago. Cats are important to people.

If you must, give it to the collective of Yospos. It's pretty much catte heaven there, I think, in all it's amber console glory.

tasha will probably take care of the cat. i just don't know for sure, so if for some reason it's too hard to keep the cat around after I leave, I just wanted to make sure someone wanted it.

Figuring out a treatment that works for you is certainly important. As someone who is only just now figuring out how to manage my own brain problems, I'll be rooting for you! You seem like a cool person who does cool things (sincerely).

Totally up to you, of course, but would love to hear any updates you feel up to sharing.

Come with me if you want to not die.
Between the scale of the giveaway and the not being sure about the partner will take care of the cat, I have to make sure. Are you planning suicide? Please answer honestly... I don't really know you, but if I can help, just ask.

(And if you're not, please forgive me for being worried. I'd way rather be the weirdo who reads depressing poo poo into happy things than be the idiot who missed the signs when she could have helped. )

I hope your trip goes well and that you come back with an update. Shaka, brah.

Have a dumb, little story that might bring some non-holiday related cheer.

I associate my best friend with unicorns and take pictures of them whenever I come across any for sending purposes to help keep her days bright (life is hard). My coworkers are unaware of the association and have, over time, noticed my not-so-inconspicuous unicorn photo-taking behavior. (We receive plenty of unicorn products of all shapes and sizes, the magic of retail.) They appear to think I just have a thing for unicorns and now actively seek out unicorns for my photo-taking benefit by either pointing them out or gathering them up for landscape shot ease. I also now have an acute awareness for unicorn related merchandise. The glittery goodness cannot evade my eyes or come off my clothes.

I don't think I want to clarify anything with them. I do want to highlight how strange my present phone gallery is with its 75 unicorn pictures mixed in with everything else, personal and business. I could print out a scrapbook. Of unicorns. Neigh. A digital album would behoof my wallet and be a great gift idea.

Hmmmm.

Lean into it. Photoshop each coworker's head onto a unicorn, make a group photo of co-workercorns, and turn that into a banner to hang in whatever common area exists at your place of work.

This is really weird and odd, but I'll take whatever you have that is on offer if you can prove you are on your way to Holland to get hella laid or.for a cool new job or something..

I would rather play games with you instead, weird goon. What do you play? I used to play DayZ for a while with a goon group, then Space Engineers with a different goon group, and then Avorion with same said goon group. The second goon group is still technically gaming together, we're just between a common interest in a game but might be doing ARK now?

I like RTS games like Sup Com FA a super lot (best game) but also am open to trying new games because I am an autistic gently caress who is not good at talk to people and needs to try new things.

I'll play games with you regardless of getting nothing-at-all.flanders!

Not to be the nth person to make comments but even if you're planning to travel for a long while I wouldn't get rid of your Steam account like that. I don't know you or your life, but even if the account seems useless or like a bad distraction right now, keep it for the future. You won't thank yourself in the future for throwing away an account worth thousands of dollars which costs you nothing to keep around and takes up no space.

Also remember that cats can be mean fluffballs but that they still love you and will miss you :(

If you don't want to talk about it here, can you make a thread in E/N? It'd be great to be able to keep up with you and your upcoming plans. Or you could PM me if you wanna talk, even just to have someone to vocalize (typalize?) your treatment to. I know talking things through always helps me to organize my thoughts.

I once got a fortune cookie that said "Ask your mom". I've also gotten several blank fortune cookies... I guess that explains why I'm broke.
So uh, I'm with him presently and talking with him (I'm his fiancee). Thank you all for your concern.

Edit: Just fully read the post. I would take my cat =_= and nothing's being given away. But especially not the cat, which I paid for, who's under my name.

Impractical practicality
That's over $1,000 in stuff! Most Goons already have similar stuff we don't need it. It's good you're getting help but please ebay it and don't give it away. A switch alone is worth $250 on ebay.

Have you asked your therapist or psychologist what they think of your giveaway idea? Do that first before doing this.

Edit: I didn't see the fiancée was a goon and posting in this thread. Call his parents after you are done talking with him and get him to the ER.

You can't "just" get euthanized, it's a long and controlled process.
