Try for something else . I know that pain , African Power has been my white whale . <| sep |> As I said to another Australian guy who was playing on American servers , high ping disconects ingame and weapon lock . So you will have a hard time playing on other servers than the australian one . Even if the server is faster it still has a lot higher ping than you do on the australian one . <| sep |> love this . did you write it ? <| sep |> no , it ' s not . I ' ve been playing commando on HoE since level 9 , it all comes down to your skill and game knowledge . Heck , we had level 3 Commando join HoE and do just well , avoiding big zeds and cleaning trash <| sep |> 1 Likely both . It ' s only been three or four months since he conquered his depression . You probably brought back his depression with that revalation . And now he ' s processing it internally because your his gf a no go to talk to about exes and Karen kept the info from him so a no go because maybe he resents her and also awkward and he sounds like the type who doesn ' t want to burden others with his issues . But if you think that he would have inevitably found out anyway , then you were justified to tell him . And if it weighed on your conscience not to that ' s also an acceptable excuse . This situation is really tough though , I see where you ' re coming from . 2 God yes . This may get worse , but hopefully at some point it will get better . You ' ve dug things up for him and it may take MONTHS for him to be back to his normal self . 3 I haven ' t suffered full blown depression as far as I ' m aware and honestly introverts are different from one person to another and there are more or less extreme levels of introversion . But if it were me I ' d be glad to know my gf was there for me , but I ' d probably be unwilling to utilise the help they were offering me not at first and even if I was willing , I probably wouldn ' t know what I ' d want out of them or how to get it , but I ' d be glad it was there . So you doing good . Keep on trucking . BONUS No . I ' m sorry to say this but I don ' t think you made the right choice . Not at three months at least . Perhaps there was no ' right choice ' in this situation , given that you felt morally obligated to tell him and it may indeed have been worse to keep it from him and have him find out you knew and didn ' t tell him . But it will destabilise him , digging up crap three four months out of a two year depression spate has good odds of throwing him RIGHT back into it . Not only that but , in the worst case scenario , it may put him in a place , emotionally , where he isn ' t able to be in a relationship with someone other than her or anyone at all , knowing that she actually still loved him then and may even still love him now . But that shouldn ' t happen given the circumstances of their breakup . Now dear god please get him into therapy if he isn ' t in it already depression , or even the chance of a relapse into it , is nothing to sneeze at . Or at least get him talking to someone . Even introverts need to offload , and no offense but he ' d probably be uncomfortable offloading to you his gf about his ex and Karen ' s not an option since she kept this from him . Is there anyone else you can think of that he can have a serious , open conversation with ? If not and if therapy is not an option and you REALLY want him to talk to you about all this , you need to accept the burdern of how uncomfortable or upset hearing about her as his gf may make you a . k . a do you think you can handle it if it turns out he ' s till in love with her ? because these feelings may come back , if only briefly . If you think you can handle it , tell him that you want him to talk to you about it and promise that you won ' t feel burdened by the knowledge . Because otherwise he ' d feel uncomfortable putting that weight on your shoulders he sounds like the ' I ' ll take this burden all upon myself so no one else has to suffer for it ' type . Then again I am no psychiatrist so most of what I ' m talking about is based off intuition and logic as well as some empathysympathy . Know that he is probably in NO way angry at you . He probably isn ' t even that mad at Karen . Then again , different people , different situations so I could be wrong . But either way this one is tough . It ' ll be interesting to know what other people think . however this progresses , please continue being there for him , you sound like an amazing person . good luck !
