As with Halo, so it is with Destiny (and many other games too I imagine). It is not "just a game", it is a social experience too, and for many of us the bonds created from that social experience run very deep and have the power to change lives.

I don't know you ..but I am happy to hear that you found your gamer family and that your friendships within that family helped you keep going when you were on the edge of giving up.
I have seen this happen for many others, myself included.

You can't always know what the person sitting next to you on the bus, or in line with you at the grocery store, or on the other end of the game chat, is going through. It may be something small, or something major ..and the major stuff isn't always obvious. Depression masked behind a smile, Bipolar masked behind laughter, behaviors of those on the spectrum that are easily misunderstood and misinterpreted, the irrational angry outburst of a customer who is struggling to keep-it-together after the loss of a sibling or parent or best friend, the single parent struggling to support his/her children, terminal illness hidden within while the person looks "normal" and healthy on the outside. How many of the people we perceive as jerks are just good folk suffering some hidden pain we cannot see?

Remember you are never alone, even if at times you may feel like you are. <3
