J - with all due respect your post read like unsolicited, unqualified psychiatric advice. Other than the closing line it was mean spirited and not up to you to define whether I feel worthless or not. As a long time depression sufferer and someone with bipolar, you should take a step back bud

Further more I know my worth and other posts otm-Ing the post is just sad. Thanks Adam for saying it upset you too

I know all-too-well how a wobbly frame of mind can make any old thing sound like an assault on oneself but it helps, I find, to be occasionally reminded that this is not always or even necessarily frequently the case.

veered on a predictable schedule between soliciting pity and validation to bolster your self-confidence, and acting out to provoke hostility that would confirm your self-judgments of worthlessness, then 'storming off'

mean spirited and not up to you to define whether I feel worthless or not.

All your posts are snarky, sarcastic and nihilistic

That’s to J

Dreadnought of chicanery (Ross), Wednesday, 8 August 2018 19:13 (five years ago) link

I would leave Ilx never to see your dumb mentally ill slandering ass again.

Dreadnought of chicanery (Ross), Wednesday, 8 August 2018 19:14 (five years ago) link

In fact I’m done, you’ve shamed me and I hope you never experience genuine problems cuz it seems like you’re clueless and out of touch with anything other than the tip of your dick. Mod delete my account I’m out

Ross, my post was an attempt to empathize with where you're at. I said nothing to warrant that response. You might consider that in light of the reactions you're seeing itt.

I don't know if there was a well-meaning message behind what j. wrote but the delivery of said message was completely fucking wretched

I know this is a messageboard and tone can be hard to suss out but, jesus christ

mh, Wednesday, 8 August 2018 19:48 (five years ago) link

ross is trying to protagonize every thread he is on in a way that seems unhealthy and should probably be temp-banned for his own good imo.

( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 8 August 2018 19:50 (five years ago) link

and we used to actually bully on this website

( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 8 August 2018 19:50 (five years ago) link

semi-regular reminder that ilx is a terrible place to work on one's mental health, which doesn't make it different from anywhere else on the internet.

call all destroyer, Wednesday, 8 August 2018 19:52 (five years ago) link

I'd never recommend it for anyone else, but getting really tweaked on caffeine and writing a long screed that completely misses the point in the conversation, only to never open that thread again is my horrible form of catharsis

now the cat's out of the bag

mh, Wednesday, 8 August 2018 19:53 (five years ago) link

xpost A terrible place in general, yes probably, but there are dedicated threads which are treated as safe spaces and can be genuinely helpful.

This, notably, is not one of those threads.

Caddyshack III: Back to the Shack! (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 8 August 2018 19:54 (five years ago) link

Is all of this happening on the secret messageboard because there is a lot of peoples' reactions here that is confusing.

Yerac, Wednesday, 8 August 2018 19:56 (five years ago) link

Also, I don't recall bullying on this website really. People seem a lot more aggro now. Except I know some of us used to follow orbit around saying "twoooooo weeks" after her posts and I think that scared her.

Yerac, Wednesday, 8 August 2018 19:59 (five years ago) link

Doing that to orbit was pretty mean

But I'm also clueless why ppl are upset here but I also have hardly posted in the last 5 years

homosexual II, Wednesday, 8 August 2018 20:11 (five years ago) link

Yeah, it's regretful now especially since it was supposed to be innocuous at first. It was so long ago I can't even remember much about her.

Yerac, Wednesday, 8 August 2018 20:15 (five years ago) link

there is a lot of peoples' reactions here that is confusing.

do you mean people's reactions to Ross' months of flying off the handle and wishing violence or death or illness on people, then saying "peace" afterwards, or do you mean Ross' reactions to people suggesting that he might be going through a tough time as evidenced by his actions

16, 35, DCP, Go! (sic), Wednesday, 8 August 2018 20:21 (five years ago) link

Is this happening on hidden threads? I've posted sparingly for a decade so maybe I am missing historical stuff.

I never wished death on anyone?
I’ve definitely been an asshole and I’m sorry for that.
As a former addict I did post while in frames of mind that were counterproductive to peace. Anyway I’m sorry for damage caused and yeah temp ban me or delete me, it’s cool
