>>I don't care if I get a PBC but this Miller is a sick individual.
I agree that the post in question sounds as if it's from a very sick individual. I disagree that this is just someone playing, although I do agree that something seems very off about this individual.
Guess where I'm going with this?
I came over here to ask about the tina posts, wondering if the admin could or should respond in any way. The Miller post didn't upset me as much as it seems to have upset other people, probably because it really did sound as if this was from a sick person, that that's the sort of person who both needs to find help and is least likely to have any awareness of acceptable limits.
Dunno, I read the sort of stuff that used to tell us one of my fellow in-the-same-room groupmates was going hypermanic. (Saw him flip over during one session once -- scary as hell, and very much like that post. Started out close to suicidal, was ready to fly home by the end. Overheard the group leader calling their mutual pdoc later to see what to do.)
Tough thoughts for me. I hope tina's OK -- I'm not depressed right now, but this did add enough to my other current worries that I couldn't sleep and am here at 3:30AM typing this. Is self censorship on a mental health board an oxymoron? Should people who need this sort of support sacrifice honesty for comfort? I think that's what usually leads to my depressive episodes, during which I'm often unable to control that sort of behavior enough to censor myself.
And someday I'll learn to spell censor. Not tonight, though. I'm gonna finish my herbal tea and try to get to sleep.
