Something about the act of completing quests and leveling up jobs, obtaining new pretty glamours, is so rewarding. And with somebody with executive functioning issues, god is that a boost of serotonin and pride! Just learning the DNC job and getting it down was enough to put me in good spirits yesterday morning!
I actually a adopted a dog a year ago in order to help with my mental health, and suicidal feelings. It actually worked a lot for me. Anytime I feel like hurting myself, I just go cuddle with my big husky. I couldn't possibly leave him alone in the world. He's just.. the best. I wouldn't ever want him to cry.

If I even think of leaving the house for more than a day, he cries and whines with my roommates when I'm not home. Imagine forever, I don't think I could do that to him.
