poor skills drama

[drewkitty]

1). I did not delete my post. I assume that the moderators did although I have had no communication from them. Presumably this was due to some of the comments.

2). I will be reposting it in my LJ tomorrow. This is for tempers to cool.

3). A positive attitude is a poor_skills trait. Really. That is all that was meant by my post.

4). My post was not intended for or targeted to the mentally ill. Threats of self harm do not move me. I feel no special reason not to give good advice to the many who can use it just because a few broken souls might misunderstand it.

5). California Penal Code makes "terroristic threats" a crime. Don't do that in my LJ. (I posted the troll's prior words below in a comment, so that one is a freebie on me.)

6). I am not a troll, I have had this LJ for some years now and actively post.

Feel free to ask questions, post comments, etc. here.

Thank you! I don't know drewkitty at all and they're being incredibly irrational and I'm trying not to let their words bother me, but I just can't believe anyone would be like this.

Do you not know how lj works? Kensan is replying to Drew, not you. Unless you are thanking them for calling you irrational.

Yes, of course I get that. Again, I'm trying to prove a point. The only person being irrational is drewkitty, so I'm being sarcastic. You have no idea what hurtful and mean things they said in other areas that were deleted.

I wish I had never came to this place to get help in the first place because I'm MUCH worse off than I had been before.

Stupid me for trying to reach out.

Well, you fail at "proving a point" because there is nothing in that post to indicate sarcasm.

If your feelings can be hurt by a stranger in a lj community, than there is something so wrong with you it can only be cured by never taking part in internet discussion communities ever again. Christ, your acting like he raped your kitten or something. No one believes you're as butthurt as you're making yourself out to be, especially on Drew's personal lj since we KNOW him and that he's a pretty rad guy.

But it's pretty funny to see you wank about like a 5 year old who want's attention, so *thumbs up*, keep at it champ. Maybe if you moan about your deep emotional lj-caused trauma long enough we will all see the light and believe our friend is a kitten-raping monster.

It sounds like you're in a great deal of pain. I'm very sorry for that. I've struggled much of my life with severe depression, and I know what anguish it can cause.

I didn't see the original post, although I am a member of poor_skills. It sounds as though drewkitty said something about the usefulness of maintaining a positive attitude. And it *is* useful. There's a difference between saying that and asserting that people who are depressed just need to buck up and all their troubles will be gone. I know how hurtful and infuriating that can be -- when I was 14 I had a doctor tell me that if I were a better Christian, I wouldn't be depressed.

I hope you do get the kinds of help you need here -- you might check out the depression support community. Good luck.

Yes! Thank you. I have friends who have battled acute and clinical depression, and it is no fun at all. People don't "buck up" from depression any more than men without legs "stand up" from their wheelchairs. Thanks for linking him over to other communities that might be able to help him better.

Drew is one of the more rational people I've ever met, and this is coming from someone who is often compared to Vulcans in terms of logical thinking.

Your journal was created yesterday. Interesting how you manage to create this much dram in under 24 hours. How's life under that bridge?

Let me offer a few words of advice.

Go, take a nap, and try again in the morning. No retorce mi palabra, por favor.
