I'm worried that this game made me realize that I might actually have depression.
I don't really know what to say or how to express this, and I honestly don't want to talk about it, but lets just say that playing this game led to me doing research, and finding that a lot of things in my life actually could be signs of depression.
I don't really understand a lot of it, and even feel like I'm just overreacting, like it's all just actually a coincidence, or that for some reason I am just trying to make myself think that I have depression for no reason. Maybe I'm just being impressionable.
I don't feel like I should have depression, like it just doesn't make sense to me. It's like everything has always been like this, or at least it seems that way, despite me now realizing that apparently many of the things I experience are not normal. I honestly feel bad for even thinking that I might have depression, because if I don't then I just look like an asshole.
I absolutely love this game, the characters, the story, the art, everything about it, but not long after playing it I have started to feel the worst about my life that I ever have, and noticing that I haven't every really thought positively about the future or anything that it holds.
I really don't know how to talk about it, or figure out if it's true, or if I just thinking that for some messed up reason. Even writing this makes me feel terribly about it.
