What about when you feel so bad that venting constantly to your loved ones will eventually tire them out and alienate them? Everyone has their limits, especially when the one who is constantly offloading their suffering onto you is a loved one. Therapists are good for that purpose imo, they don't love you and are trained to converse with you effectively about these matters, especially if you are mentally ill (most people who go to therapists are how you describe probably, but there is a chance I would have OCD + BPD even outside capitalism if another trigger like the death of a loved one came to pass)

I hate practicing psychiatrists more than the science itself tbh, many medications are really useful for those who need them but even "good" doctors don't know about interactions between the meds, gloss over side effects that you might experience etc
I am tired of having to be high on pregabalin (I am right now even) to cope with the job search and the resulting storm of emotions inside me. At least I am progressing through the Higurashi VN and I really like it so far so I have something to look forward to.
I have some vegan recipes here (you have to dice the veggies in most of them but you can also use a blender to make it easier):

Just follow the instructions and it will be fine, you just put the ingredients into a pot and cook them
It's probably due to the common perception that reading excessively damages your eyesight
Not a parent either but I played with my younger siblings as a child so I remember what I did. You could try making a simple storyline with heroes and villains and act it out with your kid using the figures (if you don't remember how, tap into the kids' shows you liked as a child yourself). Just go ham acting the various characters (your kid will be one of the good guys probably), you might start enjoying it yourself
Maybe host not as many US military bases full of people whose job it is to kill Chinese people
Not sure if they got a choice in this matter, they are pretty much occupied since WW2
Maybe it is a stretch ngnl, but
spoiler
The military officers being the ones who save the day through a coup, and in the end not having the miltary dictatorship being dissolved at all seems sus to me
Fucking idiot, of course POCD exists as well. You can have OCD about anything, why wouldn't you be able to have it about being a pedo?
I refused to play Magic despite my best friend's constant pestering (I was a yu-gi-oh head), but now I am building my own commander deck and it is really fun despite it being crossover slop now
And why is it Mahou Shoujo Beanis-Chan?
Feel free to speak about your favorites, recommend games to other users and anything else you can think of. My rationale for my favorites is the following (I am not a very good writer so bear with me):
Planescape Torment: Interesting setting which I feel is drug-fueled to an extent, great gritty atmosphere, the writing is very good and the narrative is extremely interesting and well done. Go blind and you won't regret it.
Terraria: The game has a lot of flaws (and I prefer the exploration focus before hardmode more than the boss rush), but I have played it a ton of times alone, or with my gf, or with friends so it is my comfort game and I can always relax when playing it. Also, he Thorium mod is a pretty good content mod that stays true to the spirit of the game.
FFXIV: Shadowbringers: It's the climax of the whole story of FFXIV, where almost all of the mysteries are resolved, the plotlines converge and the main antagonists are confronted and explored. I love the setting, the enemies and the lore of the First as a whole, and the story if full of emotion and more thematically rich than one would expect, with a part of the game being a direct parallel of the first world during climate change, and it involves positively if naively portrayed class struggle.
ZeroRanger: Besides the amazing aesthetic, soundtrack and the good gameplay (two of the bosses are some of my favorite of all time), the game blends the story with every aspect of the gameplay seamlessly and it perfectly executes the Buddhism theme in ways I cannot explain without spoiling you. It also has its fair share of emotional moments, and is the perfect mecha anime-like game imo. OFF: Fucked up surreal RPG maker game with a unique aesthetic and disturbing atmosphere and soundtrack. The story has many interpretations and it makes great use of the gaming medium in a meta way to make you feel things. It's probably the most artistic game I have ever played.
Trails in the Sky trilogy: I used the 3rd for my 3x3 since it is the one that impacted me the most emotionally due to the amazing character writing and the emotional journey of the protagonist, but the whole trilogy is the peak of JRPGs for me, with a very fun combat system, amazing music, characters and an interesting setting with great worldbuilding. Some dislike it due to being slower plot-wise than games like Final Fantasy, but that just gives the characters and the setting time to be fleshed out, making you much more invested when shit actually goes down. The portrayal of the nationalist antagonists and the politics as a whole are lib, but in the face of everything else that makes the games good I can easily ignore it.
Hollow Knight: This is pretty much the perfect platformer in all aspects except the music which is very good but not exactly my style. The aesthetic, exploration and bosses are all amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.
Katamari Damacy: Has a very unique style of gameplay and humor which accompanied with the great Shibuya-kei soundtrack makes for a great stress reliever game. The final level is something to behold as well (I won't spoil you).
These games have become part of me (sorry for the cheesiness), and if you haven't played them you are doing yourself a disservice.
I substituted brown lentils for red lentils because we like them more and it was great. Curries and salsas + rice/pasta are peak food

I should have studied AI and ML during university, now I am too tired and traumatized (by reading OCD) to even bother so I will probably remain an unemployed husk for the forseeable future. I just don't have that ability to chase the correct opportunities you need to succeed in capitalism even though I might have had the potential to achieve something
