Dear super earth citizens, I just completed a whole round against Automatons on Helldive difficulty and I’m traumatized. There were just so many bots everywhere. Helldivers were dying left and right. Sometimes multiple times in a minute.

But we made it, after making sure that the oil pumps are running and information was uploaded, we have spread democracy through annihilating bots. In the end there were just two of us left. Some helldivers never extracted, I wonder what was their fate.

I’m having trouble processing the things I’ve seen. Sometimes I wake up at night thinking another dropship has landed when a space car is flying past my bedroom.

Is there any psychological counseling available for veteran helldivers? I tried contacting my democracy officer but all he could offer to me was freedom camp, so I apologized for being undemocratic. Obviously posting this from a throwaway account but please let me know if there’s anything you’d suggest.

    After having another talk with my democracy officer they have identified me in this post and I would like to apologize. PTSD is a rumor that automatons have spread and I shouldn’t have pretended it comes from activities that ensure the advance of managed democracy.

    I have voluntarily decided to give up my rank as death captain and will return to being a cadet, serving the interests of super earth.

    Permacura has sent me a yearly supply of stims and my democracy officer suggested one stim every four hours to cleanse my mind from undemocratic thoughts.

    After reflecting on my recent behavior I decided to donate 50% of my salary to the war fund and I made sure that part of this donation will go directly towards identifying dissidents. Like bugs and bots, dissidents will never destroy our way of life!

    Greetings fellow Helldivers!

    It sounds like you are experiencing a borderline anti-democratic lack of motivation. May I suggest seeing your Democracy Officer and requesting treatment via our Motivational Shock Booster program?

      Thank you for identifying me and sending in qualified super earth personell to manage my recent undemocratic thoughts. I acknowledge that it was my own fault not covering my ears when the illegal broadcast I was supposed to destroy was still running. It was the fault of the communist, deeply anti-democratic automatons that spoiled my previously free mind. I have posted a public apology as suggested in order to maintain a healthy and free discussion culture in super earth.
