TLDR:
I can't believe I'm saying this, especially after seeing the daily "Well, it's groundhog day" meme in discord and then posting something similar, and getting it removed. There certainly seems to be a clique and way too much drama and "in crowd" there. Dysfunction abounds and that's why I just read and interact here instead.
To riff off "Now, to be fair - mental health struggles are no joke.", I can relate on a high level: When my life is going to crap, or when it's going better than expected, my FB presence is always consisting of goofy (to me, ymmv) memes and photos of my cats and/or dog. I mentioned losing 150 lbs over the course of last year (mostly dietary cutbacks to human proportions and steady prescribed diuretics). After layoff in January beginning in Feb being unemployed, I put half of it back on. Apologies to "coming out" of the pantry, this is the first I've mentioned it anywhere.
BD may, in fact, be posting "Hey, I'm still here, and working on it" occasionally while completely submerged in whatever muck and mire he has in his life. We all (to my knowledge) would prefer to have a clean internet/public image, so I'm sure there are things no one here wants "out". If it's a case of "I'll just milk this shit until I have to find another income" or "Holy shit I can't seem to catch up", we'll never truly know what's what.
I just know that I have enjoyed the story to this point, and like the updates that are more in line with (my opinion) story progression as opposed to "Grandma's House" updates where the story is stagnant but he's notched a few more notches on his bedpost.
I'll go back to being silly now lol
P.S. I probably should refrain from posting pre-coffee
