"Pokemon GO (and/r/pokemongo) has kept me alive through the worst time of my life (sorry for the long post)"

#PokemonGO: Hey everyone. Sorry if this post is repetitive but I wanted to thank everyone here for their inadvertent help. Throwaway for sure.I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety for much of my adult life. This past summer I accepted my dream job in another city away from my 4 year long term girlfriend (whom I was in love with) and suddenly out of nowhere she dumped me for being so far away. Later I lost that job and asked her back by saying I would be willing to go back to her city. She said no. In one day I lost my dream job and the last chance at the girl I thought I would marry. I even had the ring picked out.Normally in my depressed state it's hard enough to literally get out of bed and brush my teeth and take a shower. But now I can get out of bed and check to see if there's a slowpoke nearby. Even if it gets me to walk 20 feet, that leads me to see something else (probably another one. I seriously get a million of them) and then I go for that which leads me on an adventure for several hours. Sometimes I even talk to other people! (As an aside, maybe I'm a slowpoke?)And honestly, you guys complaining about Niantic and defending Niantic and on and on keeps me involved in something. I don't ever contribute in the conversation but I feel like I'm a part of a community and can understand something that other people are doing. Even the dumbass memes that get refiltered over and over again are a reason for me to either laugh or moan out of complaint, but at least it's something.Anyways, thanks for your inadvertent help, and if anyone needs 100iv Slowbro or 7 once trading is implemented, come my way.TL;DR: I felt like I had no purpose but thanks to living on a Slowpoke nest and your shitposts, I'm still here, so thank you. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2dYltVu
