I’ll be sure to attend their needs. Sadly, we don’t have a friend close by yet, as we left our state to live together. There’s a couple of uni classmates that we vibe with, not sure if they are ready to call them friends, but I can ask. They HATE recieving external help tho, as they feel lile they don’t deserve it, but I’ll keep it in mind if we’re both struggling with getting through the day.
My most boring side, the one that likes to go in long tangents and really cares about stuff.

I feel like I’m already good at this, so thank you, this is reassuring.
Thank you, this is very helpful. We’ve had this conversation a couple of times. In stressful times, I often jump to offer all the support I can give, and sometimes they feel too overwhelmed because of that. They’ve told me that trying to normalize/downplay things help them cope with the situation better.
We are both kinda unstable due to our neurodivergensies, so my worry about a negative spiral is justified, as it has happened before (not as life ending, but a couple of rushed action with long-term consequences). But I will try not to manifest it into existence by letting them grieve at their own pace. Thank you again.
Thank you. I always think of the life after the news, but never during. I always try to be strong for my partner, the way they do the same for me too. We both have Bipolar Disorder, so our mood goes up and down at different periods, but after living together for a bit it seems our moods always complement eachother. That’s why I expected to be up when they were down, but I gotta start preparing for the time when both of us are down.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a band or artist you wish you could see, but they never make it to your area?English
2·4 days agoI’m from south america, so my chances are already slim, but I’ve been lucky to have watched The Living Tombstone and My Chemical Romace live, which are some of my favorite bands.
Most of the solo artists I like are very niche, or not big enough for a worldwide tour, so I know it’s gona take years for me to be able to see Ren, Rio Romeo, Will Wood or Femtanyl live.

I always try to validate their feelings as they often struggle with thinking their feelings are valid, so I will be sure to keep that up. Thank you
