The thing is. When someone is mentally ill, their sense of reality is often skew. I know that i have posted some dramatic tosh at my lowest and then come back the next day and been mortified.
What did it cost me to post on wombats thread?? Ten minutes of my time that i would have been wasting elsewhere on the site anyway. It is triggering for me but its fibe.i CHOOSE to open the thread and offer some words of support. Is she genuine? Well she is certainly quite unwell isn't she?
I have health anxiety. I don't read general health threads as i find them too upsetting.
I couldn't give a shit whos shagging who on eastenders street farm and who said what in x factor so i don't open the threads. I rarely open a bfing thread as my dd is 9 now. I wont open a thread about rape as i have no experience and therefore cannot offer support.
So it really is easy - don't open the thread.
Maybe the folk posting on these threads feel a sense of support for posting on them.
I just wish the troll hunters would fuck ooff actually. I can make my own judgement and if its a troll ffs report and ignore.
This is worse than fucking school prefects who ime were nasty bastards at school.
