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

Edited this because I said too much but thankfully didnt bring up 2 other defects I don't want others looking at me in different tone what meds I take. I learned about Blood Clots yesterday and effects they bring.

I read the articles and doctor instructions on TIA etc my mom cholesterol is very high her fatty liver is damage of years of eating such foods I tell her to stop with the cholesterol it builds plaque in her walls this is why I turned into salad about 5 years ago. My mom thanks me. But blood clots start in many places I noticed the bigger the calves in one leg is an indicator of premature Stroke even 40 year old men die quickly. Study is my weapon to combat diseases or when I inject some drugs in my arms I know which. I'm not like other people I study medicine without a doctors degree or going to med school?

How about you fuck off

Just relax.

In general don't tell people to f off.

I'm gonna try to put this the best way I can.

People come here to this forum mostly to talk about games. It's a place to relax and have fun. So when I log on here, I'm not in the mood to talk about the death of a user's relatives. You know it's not what people want to see.

That doesn't mean you can't talk about it. We all need to get things off our chest sometimes, and it's clear you have a lot to get off it. I'm sorry about your uncle's passing, and your mom's stroke.

Overall it's a place to talk. 
Gaming is definitely the reason pretty much everyone is here, but over the years we've had threads on probably everything: losses, graduating high school.

There have been some 26,000 non-gaming threads posted over the years.

Sega has several mental disorders (as he says above), and is overly obsessed with race and sex to the point where he seems to contextualize his entire life in those terms. He thinks he's unhappy because he's not asian enough for example.

Pretty sure he's not lying about anything though.

Absolutely know that he needs a lot of help.

It took until this thread to realize, I'm pretty color-blind socially but also again. Most don't talk about their own struggles openly here.

I think it has become less common in recent years, as people have left, and therefore have fewer friends.

I also have chronic disease which makes me extra careful since being diagnosed in my early 20's which contributed to wanting get the things I want before I die, Yup my life expectancy is shorter unless I drastically follow every step and eat the right amount.



I'm sorry for your loss. Life can hit us hard and fast sometimes, and not everyone can do or say the right thing when someone needs it. I do concur with a few others that maybe it's best to just take a breath, and take a month away from here. Trying to get permabanned might make you happy the first day, week, or even month, but I think you might regret that a year from now when you have something you want to share with the group.

I'll try also the max I can live for myself life expectancy if I did not take care of myself is late 40's like 46 years old if I don't take care of myself but If I take care of myself so much I might live more longer. I always try to have a happy ending before I go myself from this world too? Anyway my Younger brother is abit healthy.



Doctors report the usual, after Stroke, No processed food what so ever, no Sugar no Sodium over 1,200 I think? gonna have to read that again? No meat many kinds.Whats allowed are Chicken, Fish, veggies, I'll look into the list later. I'm taking care mom now.



I'm sorry about your Mom and Uncle. One thing that I recommend is drinking more water. Also green tea saved my life. Lost 75 pounds replacing pop and sugary juices with iced and hot green tea. Of course I'm no doctor. So consult her physician first, but that definitely helped me. Sending positive energy!



Very sorry for your loss.


Very sorry but going to close this thread. Sad thread took a not nice turn.
