Tw depression, self harm, suic*de

Last year was the hardest year of my life, getting hit left and right with sh*t that just keep taking me down farther into the depressive hole, every day I felt like i couldn't take the pain anymore

Then in November my father passed away randomly at 61 by a heart attack and that threw me into the darkest period of my life with self harm and getting my stuff sorted to leave the earth

I was planing to end it all and decided to log back in one more time to give all my stuff away to noobs and to experience the nostalgia and feel like I was a kid sitting in my living room with my dad alive and asking me about the game. I got talking with people when I told them why I was doing it and my plans...

I know osrs is know for being toxic but the people who I opened up to on the internet had only kind words to tell me and encouraged me not to do it, I had people tell me to try and get a quest cape before I did it and that single handled saved me from ending it all

Having a goal I could achieve and people who supported my journey gave me the hope to keep on living. Having funny content to watch to get my mind off of the pain saved me, having a community of people who all were passionate about something reminded me that life has it good parts too

This game might be a game to some but to me it more then that, thank you osrs for being here when we all need it
