I’ve dealt with depression on and off since I was 14. It can be very difficult when you feel like no one understands you or you’re not allowed to have emotions. It’s very hard to find people you can trust with your emotions but the people you do find truly are a blessing. Unfortunately I have trusted the wrong person before and have had my mental health used against me. It’s really hard to trust many people after that but I have a few people I feel comfortable talking to and if things get too bad I go see a therapist.

I currently DM a homebrew campaign. I make up a lot of the enemies and bosses but use some original DND characters and rules but added some of my own rules to make the game more fun and balanced. One rule I added was a hollowed effect (like in dark souls) to give players a second chance before just out right dying and making a new character. I enjoy giving bosses unique abilities that can’t be found in the original game especially when it comes to countering more annoying characters such as rogues. A great class but the constant hiding can make it unfair to the non- rogue players if the boss doesn’t have any rogue counters so I’ve had to adapt and overcome and give pretty much all enemies and bosses a chance to be able to counter the rogues. Grapples are a big help but I had to build my bosses with better ways to spot hidden rogues. This is only my third campaign I have DM’d and the first one had an very inexperienced rogue that would forget to hide so it was much easier to deal with and the second campaign did not have a rogue class since it was set in the Vietnam war. My most recent character I played in a campaign I wasn’t DMing was a Paladin Goliath.
