| Jaicee said: As someone who lost my mom in the course of my stay here on VGC back in 2017, after reading the OP and some of the follow-up remarks on the first page of this thread, I was motivated to respond (not a common thing itself these days). Have to admit that it took me a while to get passed the disbelief and anger stages, but I think I'm in a better-equipped mindstate now. When I lost my mom, part of my response was to pretty much stop posting here for the better part of a year because it was all I could think about practically for a long, long time because she had been the closest person to me. Everything else seemed unimportant to me. It affected my job performance and my physical health too. I didn't think about volunteering her sex life to the entire internet. That wasn't a top-priority note for me in that moment in time. There were other things about her I felt mattered more. Neither did someone else close to me have a stroke within a month thereof. I guess that's why it's been difficult for me to even consider the possibility that your story is true; because I really can't relate to your response and find it kind of offensive. ...Okay "kind of" is understating it. It just felt so cold, childish, selfish, soulless, and frankly perverted to read, to say nothing of awfully convenient, that it just repulsed me. My original thought was to suggest that maybe somebody should accede to your repeated requests for a permaban just so that I don't wind up being subjected to any more of these kinds of threads on my lurkings anymore. It's wrecking my lurking experience. *sigh* Okay. Anyway, the more I've thought about it though, the more I've come to recognize that different people mourn in different ways. For some, attention-seeking behavior can be part of that just because maybe they feel more unloved than usual right at this moment in time without that special person or people in their lives, and you do seem like a genuinely lonely and depressed person. Maybe there is real truth to your story and I should be considerate and take it seriously rather than as a despicable slap in the face to those of who really do know what that kind of loss is like. ...Well okay, sorry, the unbelieving part of me came back to predominance there for a minute, but what I'm actually trying to say here is that I'm trying to believe you and that, if your story is indeed the truth, then just know that life isn't over yet, much as it may seem to be, and that you are not uncared-for! I do legitimately feel sorry for you. Like I said, I definitely do sense that you are a lonely and depressed person and those are very familiar struggles for me. I know what it is to need frequent affirmation just to make it through my day a lot of the time. Just...try to be a little bit more sensitive to the fact that other people process loss very differently that you (ostensibly) do I guess and might find your...method of communication...insulting. You're not the only person here to have been through this kind of thing and you're not the only person here with feelings. |
Bolded, Although I still haven't lost my mom yet I haven't hit that stage, I don't have a job to lean on and I can't drive a car . I don't have a normal mind I have 3 mental disabiliy that I cannot relate to others 1 is Bipolar mental issue 2 other mental defects I don't wanna bring up
