That DM is amazing! As someone with PTSD and unmedicated ADHD I understand how challenging it can be to manage triggers and behaviours. I hope that Bard learns how harmful their behaviours and actions were or that they don't get invited to future games. It sounds like the rest of your table was lovely and that DM was incredibly occmidating. That Kelpie idea is awesome, genuinely!

[@susannahmitchell5558]

This dm is so kind and supportive! I wish that could have been my first dm. I suffer from Aspergers and General Anxiety Disorder, or G.A.D., so I sometimes have troubles with social situations. And while my first group was fun, it wasn’t very accommodating.

While I agree however OP also heavily screams as an attention whore and uses her mental illness as well as trauma as an excuse to be a bad player. OP went to the dm to stop the "one" sided jags at her character (makes sense if its true we all would.) However she than continues to go on about bard being the only one that didnt give her a "proper" apology for jokes made with the whole group, op included. Than continued to rant about him being the "that guy" at the table for treating her normally and still acting in character when she tried to place hard limits of "you cant follow me" and other stuff that she than tried to cry to the dm for sympathy points and possibly to kick the bard from the table... All do to him treating her like a normal person

As a person with ADHD myself, I felt the dread when OP said she was 2 days without her meds. I live in fear of running out. It's like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde except in this case you take medicine to become Dr Jekyll. It's no fun living as Mr Hyde. Tip of the hat to the DM being so accommodating.

[@Terrordragonfly]

I'm someone with ADD and I haven't taken my meds in probably about 15-20 years now because I hated them. The upside is that I learned to function well in society without them. But it really took a toll on my childhood years because life and people aren't very kind to the nail that sticks out. And even after having learned to not be dependent on them sometimes situations just happen in which I can't function. Which makes me wonder are these situations what it feels like for someone that regularily uses medication when they don't have access to it? I'm genuinely curious because while I can speculate ultimately I won't know without asking.

The last week of my 60-day ADHD prescription exacurbates my anxiety every damn time!

[@mwhearn1]

"Have you got brains?" is her way if asking if I've taken my meds because that's what it's like for me I live in Australia so our rules re mediation might be different. Here ADHD meds are highly regulated to prevent the wrong people getting their hands on them. You can only get one repeat on your script filled at a time (one months worth). You can only get it filled when that month is up. A day early the pharmacy won't issue it. This year the family went on holidays up the coast, two days before I could get more meds. I tried to talk reason but pharmacy would not budge. I had to get my Dr to send a script to pharmacy near where I was staying. This meant the Dr didn't have time to apply for government subsidies on the meds. So instead of $25, it was well over $100. All the fiddling around took a day out of my holidays, but as my wife put it, "I'd don't care about the cost. I'd rather have you on holidays with brains." It was a great holiday. Don't you love a story with a happy ending.

@@Terrordragonfly ADHD is a spectrum. Some people are worse than others. Some are really bad young and fades as they age. Others are like me seem get worse with age. Different medications work better for some than others. It took until my 3rd medication before I found one that works best for me.

I have ADHD (and according to my current psychiatrist I'm probably also on the spectrum), I was diagnosed when i was 5, went to therapy for a year or 2 and I've been told that "I've been cured".BULLSHIT! ADHD is not a sickness that can be cured. They simply forced me to turn my lack of control inward instead of outwards. But i guess it was fine by them because I was able to sit still, it didn't matter that it was slowly destroying me. I went unmediated for over 18 years after my first diagnosis, 18 fucking years with a voice at the back of my head constantly telling me how stupid I am, how whenever I open my mouth I'm bound to say something that will make everyone groan in disgust. Meds and no meds are like night and day. I am finally able to concentrate on something without my mind drifting off to whatever "shiny" thing I happen to momentarily think about.

04:06 Not every adult can see consequences in their actions. Even if you don't have any sort of mental conditions. The power of human stupidity has no limits. Even a very smart person can and has made incredibly dumb decisions. Now, I can understand the Monks frustration, I've definitely known some people use their disability as an excuse, for their own bullshit. However, I also grew up with an autistic brother, it's pretty clear when "the brain gets him", as he puts it. p.s. As an aside, I love the idea of an autistic Paladin following every plot hook the DM dangles before the party. I remember the time my players ignored all of my plot hooks, and just dicked abound in the pub. (including but not limited to an orphan NPC literally begging for their help, and a Quests Here board in the back of the pub!) Eventually, I kidnapped the Fighter just to move things along.

[@Nathan-qp9uv]

ya I can kinda relate grew up around alot of family and friends with various mental conditions (add/adhd/bipolar/various anxiety disorders, generally pick about 2 each) and learned their tells of when they are about to have a meltdown and roughly their tolerance thresholds. Most of them do their best to stay on top of it so incidents are rare and if I notice something that looks like a red flag I'll try to defuse it but a couple of them started doing the I have an excuse crap after getting diagnosed and at least one leans hard on the nocebo/placebo effect of their meds (yes the meds are real and needed, no being 15-30 mins late for the regular dose does not mean it suddenly wore off the moment you actually noticed what time it was and your suddenly fine literally as soon as you swallow). When you know them enough to read them there is a pretty distinct difference between when the conditions are flaring up and when they are just riled up to a similar degree one can easily lead to the other but there's an extra edge or a emotional stickiness (not quite sure how to put it, but there is a shift in body language and tones that just feels off or twitchy) when it kicks in and you know you just have to avoid fueling it and let it ride out or its just gonna snowball. So ya I've seen it both ways and it really pisses me off when I see someone is in the just an excuse category atm BECAUSE I know people that are doing their best and the damage to the public perception isn't fair to them.

[@youphooymayers246]

People refusing to understand/comprehend mental illness is a huge problem in daily life. Let alone something as personal as DnD with a friendgroup. Its amazing how above and beyond this DM went to accomodate this player. I suffer from Aspergers, anxiety attacks and chronic depression, it hurts so much when someone doesn't understand your way of thinking and chooses to forego understanding it because they've made up their mind on how they look at it or deem it too complicated. I've met a lot of people like the Bard, both as a player and a DM. Its such a horrible feeling, especially when all you want to do is give everyone a fun gameplay experience. It took me years to find people who actually understand and accept me for me. I wish such a group for everyone!

[@susannahmitchell5558]

I can relate. Aspergers plus General Anxiety Disorder is a horrible combination, but I’m thankful to have had so much support from my family and my friends my who have helped me to learn to both deal with it and accept that it’s a part of who I am. I’m extremely creative, and love to express myself through art and song. My mom and dad both say that I see the world in a unique, and magical way. I also had trouble with finding a D&D group, but I eventually found a group that has been so welcoming and really accept me for who I am. 😊

Bard didnt really tho. We arent even told what he did that "set everything off" we were told he did something that popped off one of the triggers and than be told that him following her was a norm with the group and every in character. So it wasnt even malice but being framed in a horror light due to OP imo wanting sympathy points.

[@inventiveowl395]

@@kingwildcat6192000 7:46 - a boundary was set irl, bard violated that boundary -> 7:58 "... That resulted in a whole mess of triggers being sprung up..." What exactly bard did doesn't matter as they were told not to do it. Furthermore, when triggers go off, other potential triggers that one would usually be able to ignore can start to have effect (in this case, a panic attack after imagining a situation not dissimilar to stalking in-game). Nobody said anthing about malice. That player was just obnoxiously ignorant. Bard knew what line they weren't supposed to cross, couldn't be an adult, crossed it anyway and when confronted about it, didn't even recognize being at fault and held the opinion that they didn't do anything wrong. After which they kept on with the triggering behaviour in-game (though it doesn't sound like they knew it was triggering, so that was just unfortunate). Still, blame falls on them. Nothing else to say. Don't even think about starting an argument about whether triggering someone's traumas is wrong or not.

[@Midnight3Wonder]

I highly sympathize with the OP of this story. I also suffer from a series of disorders: ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, OCD, and possibly others. It was really hard for me growing up. I was always daydreaming, I got so nervous around people so easily, I had these weird habits that no one could understand, and I even had so many dark thoughts in my head that everyone would be better off without me when I was just barely out of my toddler years. To make things worse is that I never got the proper help I needed. While I was diagnosed with autism at an early enough age, my other disorders weren't recognized yet and everyone just assumed it was my autism. My mom tried really hard to get me into programs and stuff to help me with my autism, but something always seemed to go wrong and I wouldn't get in because there was something wrong with the paperwork or the mail got messed up or something else beyond our control. My mom thought that what I needed that she could still do was get me actively motivated and thus signed me up for dance classes and sports. Unfortunately, I hated that dance classes she signed me up for (especially tap) and I hated sports beyond anything else. I was an artist and loved to make up stories. I didn't want to get all sweaty and gross playing sports I despised or learning dances I had no interests in. And the few activities that I actually wanted to do like ballet and karate were things my mom either ignored or disapproved of. Ballet was the one dance I wanted to learn so much that I began exclusively walking around on my toes in a form of protest and to prove that I could do ballet, but she still never signed me up for it. To make things worse, I ended up severely messing with the muscles in my legs and had to get surgery down to fix the issue. Elementary school was one of the absolute worst times of my life. I was always being bullied (one kid even tried pushing me in a garbage can), I was constantly spacing out which made my teachers think I was a disrespectful student (my ADHD made it really hard to focus so I just ended up daydreaming a lot), I never seemed to be able to keep up with the other kids and failing most of my classes (the one class I was good at was art), and even my special needs teacher believed me to be a failure. She even told my parents and I that I shouldn't be expected to get any grades better than D's and C's. We left that meeting with my parents fuming and me in tears. I was just miserable and felt like an absolute failure in life, but tried to keep it all inside because I didn't want to burden anyone anymore than I already was. It wasn't a healthy method, but I didn't know what else to do. I didn't have the proper help I needed and no one understood just how hard I was actually trying just to be "normal". Luckily, by the time I'd be starting middle school, my family moved to a new school district and I'd have a fresh start. Not long after I began middle school, we realized that my old school was horrible equipped to help students with special needs and the teachers didn't even have the proper training to teach kids like me. My new school was not only prepared to help students like me, but even helped me become a frequent straight A student! I even had a new special needs teacher who became some a positive impact on my life that she became a family friend and I even invited her to my college program graduation. I was still bullied, but the new bullies' methods were drastically different from what I was used to as they mostly just talked a lot of smack and I was able to learn how to defend myself and even others. I still wanna stomp on their toes for bullying me all those years ago, but I am grateful to them in an odd way because they strangely helped me build up my confidence when they tried to push me down. I even learned to stand up to my mom to stop forcing me into activities I hated and began doing the things I actually loved. I partook in the school musicals (mostly as a stagehand as I loved preparing the props more than being in the spotlight), I joined the art club (my art teacher recommended me to do the illustrations for her friend's book about dyslexia), I tried out the student council (wasn't really my thing, but I was still proud that I tried), and I even rediscovered my love of making up stories and it became my dream to one day become an author and illustrator. I became so much happier and confident in myself during middle school that it was as if I had become a completely different person. I was genuinely happy for the first time in my life and not a sad mess trying to hide their pain behind the mask of a perfect little girl. I even learned that it was okay to embrace my nerdy and dorky interests and began more openly expressing my true self, regardless of what others thought of me. It would still be years before I finally learned that I have ADHD, anxiety, depression and OCD. Up until later in life, I just thought it was all my autism. I was scared at first, but looking back on my life I realized how obvious it was that I had these other disorders. Sadly, the depression one didn't hit my realization until I was reaching my lowest points due to harassment and grief I was going through. I even had a period during my lowest state of depression where I had to actively fight my own thoughts of just ending it all while I was all alone away from home to take care of my best friend's cat and told of devastating news during my time away from home. I wasn't able to teach out to anyone because my best friend was away and my family was a major source of my grief, so I just had to suffer alone in silence. Luckily, my friend's cat was there and he could sense that I was really distressed. He kept cuddling with me and his purring really helped to relax me. I still needed a distraction from my grief, however, and so I started playing a game I had wanted to play for a long time but never had the time to. The story and characters ended up inspiring me so much that I began drawing fanart during my breaks from the game and I posted them online. I got such positive feedback and one person even recommended that I make a fan comic based on the game with my own twists and ideas. The franchise the game was from was very popular to have fan comics made based off the games, and I had even wanted to make my own fan comic based on an earlier game from the franchise but had to give it up because I didn't have the skill or resources to do it. But being older and wiser now, and still desperately needing an escape from my life, I began working on a comic. It ended up evolving into a massive project that I am still working on to this day. It not only became a healthy outlet for me, but even became a source of inspiration for others. I am not afraid to include more sensitive topics in my comic like mental illnesses, queer identity, grief, family drama, and more. As scary and uncomfortable they might be, it turns out that they are things we really need more healthy exposures and representations of. Not only for those who do suffer from such things, but also to teach those who do not but want to better understand. Through my comic project I started from my own depression, I became a voice all others and have been helping others through their own issues through my characters. I'm really proud of how I was able to turn my pain into a strength for myself and others, and I hope to continue inspiring others through my characters and stories.

[@hannah1386]

So I find this story actually quite funny because I know how this feels. Because of our little to no friends me and my family play DnD only with each other but the catch is we all have varying levels of ADHD and ADD though most of us have not be officially diagnosed and we range from 9 to 18, so you can imagine how these games go. We have yet to get through 5 sessions into a campaign and those sessions are mostly us interrupting and asking to many questions because we weren’t paying attention. In our first ever session my youngest sister, I think 7 or 8 at the time, tried to punch my character in our first combat. We had no weapons and she, I believe, was a caster and I was a monk. She missed epically and we still make fun of the useless caster trying to punch the monk. Our first session was scuffed to say the least, our blood hunter didn’t have his sword for the combat our casters didn’t know how to use magic and I, the monk, kept getting nat 1s in combat but got a nat 20 to pick a lock with a dart. I started playing rogues after that.

[@mentalrebllion1270]

I’m not sure how adhd is affecting my gaming. I have adhd, depression, and a general anxiety disorder. I did make this very VERY clear at session 0 because I wanted to get it out of the way in the fact that I may interrupt without meaning to speak over someone. For one thing, it’s a speech habit because all but my dad has adhd in my family so it’s a family culture thing but also it’s something that just comes with the territory of adhd. So, since I play online and don’t have faces to read from (I tend to be sensitive to people’s body language and bad with registering talking other than general speech patterns) I will have a harder time curbing this very bad habit. I will try and will not be insulted being called out on it as I will see it as helping me curb a bit of the habit myself to levels I find acceptable. I also let them know that I was having anxiety about the game but it was nothing to do with them. My anxiety is high when I make calls or am in social situations particularly and this was the first time I ever played dnd and it was an online game with complete strangers. I still wanted to play with them but I let them know because there might be times where my anxiety is talking and not truly me, especially not the me I want to be. Same with the depression, though that one hasn’t manifested in a way in the game that I can see. I had a harder time with the anxiety so I just wrote it point blank into the character and made one of his goals being to help conquer it by making friends and finding reasons to ignore it in favor of doing or being who he wants to instead. But as for adhd, it mostly has manifested in tangents and speaking over others out of turn. I curb this by mostly having things at my desk for fidgeting while I play and keeping the desk clear otherwise except for a notebook. Which is also another way. I take notes and am the note taker of the campaign which aids my adhd. I actually have excellent memory so I don’t even take notes most of the time, even for any of my education or work but pass usually with flying colors. But I chose to with dnd both to alleviate my anxiety and give my hands and mind something to do for my adhd so I stop interrupting and am still listening to what is going one. As for why, I have an issue that I’m told is part of my adhd. I have nothing wrong with my hearing but when I only listen to instructions and such, I have a hard time remembering later, even minutes later (I’m also told forgetting is a normal in depression to) so I usually rely heavily on memorizing visual references that I can also add to my brain file (I had a friend call me a human library because of this). Normally this means doodles and very illegible (to others) notes that are only meant to trigger the original memory to be recalled. I don’t need much and then my brain recalls it as a single experience. I’m told that is episodic memory? Anyway I got that part from my dad and he has amazing memory to the point people assume he has photographic memory. I like to joke that my memory is like films but my adhd inner child opened the dark room door too early. It’s not far off I’d say. Oh! But I should mention that my group I play with was super excepting and the best possible group I could have asked for. Not only was the dm adhd but some of the other players were too and had been playing for a good long time and taught me tricks on dealing with it and still enjoying dnd. Also my dm uses the card system that allows us to pause or stop as needed anonymously. We also have always done check ins at the end of each session, even for crazier stuff that our characters do and discuss that. Dm is really great and is part of these check ins for us too to make sure nothing that wasn’t discussed during session 0 was either violated or needs an update and to ask if the story is a bit much for us or if there is other things they can do to accommodate. And it’s not just me, it’s the entire group that is asked about this. So for me I love playing with this group. It’s been amazing and I now love the hobby.

best dm ever!!!

[@MrNintendogeek01]

This DM deserves a gold star and then some!

[@benpearson49]

08:00 Kinda want to know, what the Bard did.

[@viral898]

I think it was the sneaking up behind her without her knowing.

[@Derogue23]

I agree. Everyone in the comments section is ripping the Bard a new one saying they are a problem but literally have no idea what they did.. it could have been literally anything based on OPs sheer number of special circumstances.

[@kingwildcat6192000]

Its what makes me think that OP was the bad guy of this story. She first describes having various mental illnesses to gain sympathy from the start of the vid. Than goes to the dm for wanting to be no longer the butt of the joke (makes sense and is a fair reason too) but when she finds out the DM being a wholesomely good person decides to go above and beyond looking for ways to make the game more enjoyable for OP she demanded apologies from the group for 1. them not knowing that she had all these mental illnesses and 2. for making jokes at her expense for what they only knew as being the characters personality. After the apologies she demands people agree to avoid her triggers (its a fair thing to ask for but in this context it seems more she was trying to take full control of the table imo) and than lastly she smears Bard under the table, aka stepping on a trigger and implying it was him following her in character, which she even than tells us was completely normal and in character for the group/player which than proves he did nothing wrong.

[@Grayald]

This is why when your child acts up in class or gets a bad grade, you parent, rather than patting them on the head, giving them some drugs, and telling them they're special.

[@insanecrazyman7637]

As another ADD/ADHD player/DM I have to say that the DM has done everything right there, that Bard should probably be explained why they were in the wrong by explaining what ADD/ADHD does to us and if he still doesn't think he was wrong should be kicked from the group since it sounds like he's the only problem

[@enriquehirshfeltikov2395]

This sponsorship did not age well. Love ya.

[@schwarzerritter5724]

Bard is probably writing a horror story about the disruptive neckbeard right now.

[@cambriaofthevastoceans6721]

So, what is a murder kelpie?

[@Kino_Cartoon]

Kelpies are fable creatures, technically human/meat eating water horses who first lore an than drown and eat their prey.

I love playing a character with ADHD because I also have ADHD and now have an in character reason to act out my irl impulses and tell people off when they are taking way too long

[@JensMorrison]

"I'm not a screwup, so stop treating me like one." Speaking as someone who is, if you screw things up for yourself, or other people regularly, you are a screw up. Doesn't mean you're a bad person, though. It's just an issue that needs to be acknowledged. Pretending you're not just hurts you and those around you more in the long run. Fidget spinners, and special treatment? Makes you seem like a mascot, rather than a human that struggles with issues.

[@isaacmoch6514]

Happy Thanksgiving my guy

[@kysumiyiffslot6898]

Most wholesome and caring dm ever.

[@jonasscheftner8545]

I really love how supportive this DM was. she definetly went above and beyond what is considered good DM behaviour. i'm part of a shadowrun group and they all know that i have autism and ADD and it still is hard sometime. especially since there is one player in the group who doesn't know where in the group they fit. they're a spy/asassin build and we mostly do legwork and investigation runs. My character is a silent tank/melee dd build and the other player is constantly interrupting the dynamics of the group because he wants to show off. But there is nothing to show off except his skill in artistics which my character doesn't have. i hit harder and take more damage and he tries to push me aside. the next session will involve a fight scene from what we have gathered in the last one. i really hope the player does something stupid and gets his character killed. maybe he works with the group next time to create a character. there is a reason why session zero is important and if the group is more rp than one melee dd is enough. we have all the bases covered with one hacker and a mage (who are a couple ingame and out) a dwarfen jack of all trades a native stealthmaster (yes the person which is best at sneaking is a native american, i keep my hands out of others characters if possible) and my orc tank (who doubles as the carriage for equipment and our smart guy duo) the one role we have open in a sense is a rigger.

[@spookyeric439]

This person seems like one of those perpetual victims.

[@zacpackman9186]

thank you for sharing this one. what a amazing dm she clearly u nderstood that having all those issues is a major issue for the player. and the party members that understood are allso awsome peoples.

[@Wulfken]

DnD. Is. Not. Therapy. It's escapism for groups of people. dumping or venting on others is not okay unless you talk to them about it beforehand. having conditions isnt an excuse for actions or behaviours. you are aware of a problem, take responsibility and be proactive about it.

[@XimCines]

I was in a game via Telegram where we had like 9 players and one of them was a girl with down syndrome. The DM was his friend and made a Christmas Game out of it where all the players were kids in disguise (mine was a polar bear and hers an angel). The first session we were going to a party, crossing a snowy park when we saw the Krampus (mad Santa) kicking and seemingly killing real Santa, so we escaped into the woods and eventually reaching an abandoned cabin. First session ended. Eventually some players never came up again. For the second session the desertion rate was increasing. I would say some of the players didn't felt confortable and leave. My character began to protect her and eventually we ended alone. In game, the story became darker, one in which the other kids began to fall prey of the Krampus, got into deadly traps por simply disappeared into the myst. The feeling of loneliness increased and we got to great extends to protect each other. My disguise became real at one critical point giving me the ability to transform into an incredible polar bear with armor a la Golden Compass which was critical to save her. She was worried that I wouldn't transform back but I was happy to save her. We made it pass the caves, the witch, the nomads and found out what happened and discovered certain item that grants you one wish. Final battle was about to come, we fought well, she was down but not killed, so was the Krampus and I managed to get the lantern of wishes but made a bad wish. I wished for my partner to get well again and then the disaster passed as Rudolph the traitor got us, took Krampus, the lantern and left us thinking we were dead. The angelic disguise turned on and took us... into heaven with the other kids. It was over... we failed. Tears fell, although nobody knew. It is terrible what she must face in real life, she needs a lot of support but we both did a good job in the game despite the abandon of many players. I admire her friendship and loyalty. As a shy person I never knew that I could be a good leader, I learned about myself too, I was kicked into leadershp after following the rest and see them fall. I also learned that a good leader is not someone who never fails, but someone who is followed despite the decision. It was the best game I ever played. It taught us a lesson of tolerance, comprehension, friendship, loyalty and leadership. I wish the best to my 2 Argentinian friends who shared this experience with a Peruvian stranger. Finally as a sign of respect I always answer in Telegram with the polar bear stickers.

[@Horrorspy]

listening to this story as a person with ADHD, emotional issues, dyslexia and disgraphia had me confused thinking I sent a story (I didn't)

[@theofficerfactory2625]

Well done, DM.

[@joshberg5813]

That story reminds me a lot of myself and my sister I have ADHD And my sister deals with a lot of trauma as well maybe not quite to that extent but it's still really cool that that DM was able to accommodate for them.

I hope the player is reading this. For the nine years of ADHD, and I play the flute. I struggle through without medication, and though I’m not as bad as others, it’s still pretty bad. I’ve raised two children on my own. You’ve got this girl. As far as fluteplaying, your strength is in your soul and your emotion. Pick up traditional flutes, Play from your heart. You will be unequaled. Bamboo flute, Irish flute, anything made out of wood. Let loose and be free

Dang, sone people really bring a ton of baggage

[@Chaosmage42]

thats interesting i didn't know they had things for dnd like that.

[@miles9462]

Bard didn’t do anything wrong. That’s standard behavior, not something that should be met with that kind of thing.

[@PrismCasillica]

Finding a DM who was able to accommodate me has been a big change. I can look forward to a session instead of dreading it.

[@mr.clockwork]

Established titles is a scam please look further into it

Another thing I noticed from these DND comment sections is that DND people All copy and parrot each other's comments lol

This DM is great I hope this Dm knows how great they are and I’m glad most of party apologies for jabbing at her a little to much I hope the player can still play with the Dm in other campaigns it reminds me of how great some DM really

[@tantamounted]

ADHD here as well. Ups and pluses to that DM, she sounds like a good friend to have.

[@marooniballooni03759]

Bard doesn't sound like a good person, but the DM is very accommodating for the OP and I am glad for that.

[@kingwildcat6192000]

He also doesnt sound like a bad person ether, just someone that wanted to play a game to escape reality and than was targeted for not giving into the want of OP's want for attention.

[@charlespk2008]

Damn I am happy to live in Massachusetts. I have adhd and EVERY teacher knew to not do ANY of this… My first dnd group….not so much so. Told them up front that my only problem was that I wouldn’t know if I was being annoying or not….they did Not comprehend that.

[@shawnhornick1901]

This Poor Girl 🥺

[@alexandermuller3011]

That DM sounds really friendly and helpful. And it‘s great that people like that exist. However from the comments it sounds like this is a behavior a lot of people with special needs demand or want of other people who have no idea how to deal with those special needs. I understand wanting to be understood and other people caring for you, but at the same time we all have lots of things to do and not always the time or interest to deal with that. And thats totally fine too. Random people aren‘t psychologists or therapists and knowledge you have to gain through an extended education on the topic shouldn‘t be demanded from average people. If someone goes above and beyond and educates themselves to properly deal with a friend, Great! But if not, it‘s not their fault.

This player is exhausting. I get they got problems, we all got problems. But that doesnt excuse that behavior

[@Numberi]

Agreed. It sucks they have problems but it’s obvious the entire experience was revolving around this one player and their never ended list of “issues.” Some times you have to accommodate someone who has issues but the other side of the same coin is that constantly accommodating someone risks never giving them the opportunity to develops the social skills to handle the situation. What about everyone else’s fun?

[@marquisealexander1371]

The fuck, OP sounds like they have everything under the sun. I get that sometimes when you suffer one mental disorder, you tend to get more but damn.

[@ketsuekiuki]

this is a horror story for everyone but the author. imagine being so damn broken that you passively destroy everyone else's experience and refuse to just leave. clearly you're not suited for the event so just go away. DM made the right call by removing the problem player.

[@starbird3939]

The DM sounds like a bery accomadating person. Too bad the Bard does not and they seem to be the actual issue. OP should tell DM that so they can univite bard to future games.

[@kingwildcat6192000]

Except for the fact that the bard did nothing wrong... He treated her like a normal person and continued to play the game like how they were even stopping with the jokes at her characters expense after being talked to. Only thing he did wrong was not follow 1 "trigger" that seems made up on the spot because out of everyone hes the only one that didnt bend the knee, for a lack of a better phrase. She even said that his character following her was within CHARACTER and the NORM for the group. Yet she made it into an issue and demanded an apology when he did nothing wrong.

[@liberalistbat6352]

No such thing as ADHD.

[@Undomaranel]

Yes there is lol. Same way colds and cancer exist, so to do neurological conditions. This is not an excuse for misbehavior, but instead it explains proclivities.

[@JamisonthaBRO15]

It's been well-documented since the late 1700s, being first described by a Scottish doctor (Sir Alexander Crichton) in 1798. Just because you don't believe it to be real doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

[@PlagueRunner]

Oh yes limit everyone elses fun because they have to be weary of your triggers, I am not for excluding people but if getting followed by a party member is a trigger for you in game and outside game play something else

[@Kino_Cartoon]

Sounded like the others still had lots of fun. limitations don't equal less fun the same goes for excluding sexual scenes or remarks for those who had bad experiences, sounds of firearms with a war veteran etc.. The people were ok with accomodating the only person who appearently had a problem with it was the bard's player so it sounds more like a "you either have to suffer or leave because I wanna do that stuff you said will send you spiraling." . l
