Background

I am being asked to be a FWB and teacher by someone 11 years younger than me. I met him on a dating app, I never met him before he was legal, and he provided an ID before we discussed anything sexual. I take power dynamics and abuse very seriously. He's asking me to do a lot of things that I'm interested in to him, which is why he initiated the whole thing in the first place, but I'm worried. I know age gaps like this are always risky. He is very sexually active as well, and that presents troubles like STDs and unwanted drama. There is also the social stigma to contend with. I can't say that I'm not interested, but I also would be ok just turning them down. I don't find many loca

My mother was schizophrenic. The stories I heard about her basically scared me enough that I hid my symptoms as much as I could. At 6 I was diagnosed with ADHD. I was diagnosed with bipolar around 14, and I thought surely that would be the end of it. I had specifically avoided learning more than surface level symptoms of schizophrenia because I can't fake what I don't know.

I had my first psychotic break in October and I thought it was just a severe manic episode, like I'd always heard about bipolar people having, but it just kept going. I'm still affected by the symptoms, but I'm on a mood stabilizer now and it's been helping. I'm still broken and I don't know that I'll ever be stable and

I hate companies that tell you a price for a product, only for you to show up and that price is only for the yearly paid in advance premium ultra members and you, peasant, have to pay half the yearly cost for a single month of service. I'm tired of having to sign up and give these fucking corps my email and passwords just to look at a price that isn't even the advertised price. I don't know how that isn't considered false advertising.

I hate all automated call systems. I have not found a single one from my many years of having to call people that hasn't been garbage. They don't understand my accent, and oftentimes I find myself smashing the 0 key until they put a human being on. I am HOH a

I've got about $70 usd to pick up some games
RE4
Pros: Classic Nostalgia, shooting people in the knee and kicking them in the face is cash money, I don't like the new RE games because they're first person so this is the best I'm likely to get for a while. A single player shooter experience sounds good right now. Zombies.

Cons: Ashley. Sometimes spooky. It seems like they took the case inventory management away which makes me sad.

Elden Ring
Pros: I love Soulsy games. I didn't get to beat it on xbox due to hardware failure. I finally have a computer that can play it. co-op mod. Challenging, but in a good way.

Cons: not good at pvp in souls games. don't think I can solo the game. Ch

Since my friends left me I don't really have anyone besides my partner to talk to. Everytime I start talking to someone new, they have a mental health episode and can't talk to me anymore. Which is fine, unlucky I guess, but I'm just tired of not having people to talk to. The only things keeping me on this earth is a dog and ttrpgs.

I'm a professional dungeon master, I work about 8-12 hours a day on my work, and the sheer entitlement of the playerbase is disheartening me. People ask for custom worlds and maps, to make their dreams come true, to play their fantasy out. People ask for solo games, which is basically two hours of me monologuing for their benefit. I'm disabled, and I'm waiting on approval for disability, and this is my only form of income. I'm good at it, really good, I've been doing it for almost 20 years. These nerds think that they're getting the same experience they get from their friends from college. I only do this. I do this all day, most days. When I'm not actively prepping for the next session, I'm
