First of all… this is just my opinion and highly subjective and opinions might differ… i just felt like sharing this here as I dont have much people to share with…
I am a 35 yo male
My second son was just born healthy 2 weeks ago, but my wife told me she wants to split up, due to my personal mental health issues.
We have been married for 4 years now. We just bought a home together a year ago and we are moving into it in 2 weeks…
Last week, I went to get a full psych eval recommended by my therapist.
Turns out, I am ADHD and Autistic, and many things that were « normal » for me are infact due to those conditions. I also am a « high potential individual » or whatever, with a high IQ.
That mixture makes my head boil all the time, i get very irritable, no patience, my mind is so crowded I have no free space.
I have been playing wow since release and spent countless days in it, often with my few rare friends. I have 2 childhood friends and 2 work friends pretty much, the 2 first live abroad. No social life, i dont go out, I dont see anyone outside work and familly.
Once the kids sleep, WoW is my happy place where I can turn my brain off a bit and not be as depressed, anxious and broken. It’s not even about the community as I dont have a guild nor do I socialize much… it’s just feeling other people be there.
I have no clue why i am writing this here, just needed to get it out… i’m deeply broken. My kids are perfect and Im so scared they’ll turn out hating me due to my short temper / strict rules sometimes (no violence whatsoever, never ever. Would rather hurt myself than my familly)
Well… keep wow alive…
