I don't have insurance yet because my work was unclear about how to apply for it and I kept forgetting to ask. Due to that my anxiety is through the roof and I'm finding I also have sensory issues. On the bright side I'm in two DnD groups and I was able to get a used VR headset for my birthday, as well as a new desk!
Not sure where to reply to this but at the very least this brought my attention to discord alternatives (which I hadn't even considered). So even though the article was unfinished and unpolished at least it expanded my view, although indirectly.
