Goodbye

[The STE]

Okay, this is going to get worse before...the thread gets locked...so I'll do one more post in this particular discussion and leave it at that.


I haven't read her say that it was a suicide attempt, so I will assume it wasn't. Which means it was just cutting.
I don't have a problem with cutting (hell, I used to cut). Whatever someone wants to do with their OWN body, I don't care one way or the other. Same with drinking, smoking, piercings, tattoos, S&M, black tar heroin, coat hangers, anything like that. I don't know the reasoning, whatever it may or may not be, for what Haunted did, so I can't judge or say anything about it. All I know is that she cut. I assume that there's a reasoning behind it, but for all I know she could just be a masochist. I agree, however, that cutting doesn't actually help problems. But neither do things like having a drink after a bad day, but people do that anyways and nobody bats an eye.
And I don't think this was for attention either. She didn't go on about it, she didn't give a lengthly diatribe about the reason for what she did, just a simple "this is what happened, I'll see ya later" not really ASKING for support even. This would all have gotten out anyways no matter how it went down now. Either she just goes away for a while without saying anything:
*Haunted comes back*
Some poster: Hey, Haunted, where ya been?
Haunted: Personal stuff.
Some poster: Sam has a limited amount of space for posting, so lets just pretend I and others have asked about the "personal stuff" a lot.
Haunted: *first post in this thread*
Or she just says that she'll be gone for a while and leaves:
*Haunted comes back*
Some poster: Sam has a limited amount of space for posting, so lets just pretend I and others have asked about the "personal stuff" a lot.
Haunted: *first post in this thread*

I don't think discussion at any length taking any side is going to do any good, be it support or getting in her face, cause in the end she's gonna do what she's gonna do. So, I'm gonna try and stay away from the main argument that's going on.

You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave.

For starters I dont think cheeba is coming back anytime soon. I dont blame him either. As for the banning that was just out of boredom right?

For some reason many of you dont seem to understand why he said what he did. Have none of you seen the way she acts??

I for one know she has gone over the top in expressing her mental issues, calling attention to them at any given opportunity. This thread is the same. " Look at me, look what other stupid shit I can do to myself, sympathise with me".
If it wasn't a cry for attention she wouldn't have posted it in a public forum.

Im glad cheebs said what he did. Maybe it will help Haunted in some ways..

Haunted not here to bitch at you, stating some facts that I have seen firsthand from you on the forums ok. I know you have been a bitch to him, ( and dont dare tell me otherwise).

Its over, cheeba aint coming back yet. Lets see who the assholes are now hey.

As for you trippin, Fuck you.

My apologies if I went too far, but I will stand up to people who wanna bitch at Cheeba for his comments.

What you don't know about me could fill volumes of books. O' course I'm not saying that you'd want to know that much about me. So, for you to make blanket statements is preposterous. Not only that, I'm tired of you making assumptions about me.

The reason Spallalala, that I make a big deal about mental illness is because I'm something of an activist. I want people to know that it's like any other disease. I want people to understand that it's genetic and strikes at random. I caught from genes. Nothing I could do about it.

(Understand the difference between someone who is psychotic and someone who is a psychopath. Two totally different balls of wax).

I would like to know how I've been a bitch to Cheebs. I reamed him ONE time...count it, ONE time. I thought, and still believe that he was having a go at me so I reacted. I will DARE tell you otherwise, thank you so very much.

This is the point, Spallalala, where you need to step out of the conversation. Cheebs is gone, go with him. One of our US presidents (Abe Lincoln) once said, "It is far better to sit and silence and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." My point, nothing you've said has indicated that you know anything about what you're talking about, and I'm tired of it. Bugger off.

From now on, anyone who maliciously insults someone (including spammers, new members..) or tries to start a fight for ANY reason, it's goodbye. No ifs, No buts. You can come back with a different name, but do it again and you're gone again. No matter WHO you are, how long you have been here or what your reasons are...No more bullshit...We're ALL sick of it.

I'm guessing that's why he was banned. I don't really think he should have been banned, but according to these new rules... It's just that the way Cheeba posts does seem insulting at times, but it's how he gets his point across. I think he was just trying to help aswell as make you feel stupid for attempting to kill yourself, Haunted.
(which is what he thought you were trying to do, I'm pretty sure)

Not everyone can be educated on mental illness, nobody without depression can understand depression etc. At the core of things that sound ignorant to you, might be someone who honestly cares about you, Haunted. I hope Cheeba decides to come back and I hope you can understand eachother better.

Anyway, I don't think this was a cry for attention. If you were going to the hospital with a physical injury, you might post about it, no? Same thing to me.

Haunted, this is the first I've seen this thread. I'm so sorry I'm late in replying.

I feel for what you're going through - I can't say I know what you're going through because I don't, I've never done anything like this. However, my 16 year old niece has and has had a history since she was a small child of emotional problems.

For what it's worth, I'm here for you. If you ever need to talk, cry, laugh, bitch, whatever, I'm here for you, I have a huge box of Kleenex and a drip-dry shirt. Know that, believe it. I'll be saying many, many prayers for you sweetheart. You're a good person and I care about you. Granted, I don't really know you, but you've helped me in the past and you didn't have to do that. But, you did, and in my book that makes you a person worth knowing.

This is exactly what I was trying to say in my previous post. Mental illness has such a bad stigma attached to it...people usually assume that if a person wants to, they can just stop their behavior. That's just not true. With the right help, sometimes they can learn to control their behavior a bit...but it never truly goes away. Also, like Haunted said...alot of these illnesses are inherited, like schizophrenia, psychosis, etc. People inherit them because of genetic and/or a combination of environmental factors...again, not all...but in Haunted's case, genetic factors along with her life experiences seems to be the cause. Like she said, it runs in her family.

Again, I like to think I know something on the matter considering I actually studied it. I'm not just throwing out information that isn't true, I've done the research and know that it's backed up. I'm not trying to side with anyone. I respect both Cheeba and Haunted and their opinions. I may not always agree with what they say, but that's okay. That doesn't change the way I feel about either of them, and I can sympathize with both of their viewpoints (aside from the actual name calling).

If Haunted WAS looking for attention (which I honestly believe she wasn't), perhaps it's a good thing. Why do you think alot of times, people just THREATEN suicide, when they really have no intention of doing it. Attention? Yes, that's part of it. But the other part is the fact that they NEED HELP. They're asking somebody to help them get better. They're asking for support.

I have to imagine that...after a while, of course you would get angry if you loved somebody who consistently put themselves in harm's way. However, there's getting angry and then there's just being mean...huge difference.

I'm actually glad this topic was discussed at length...I wish it hadn't spiraled as out of control as it seems to have...but I think it'd good to talk about these types of issues. If more people took the time to understand the CAUSES of mental illness...perhaps they wouldn't be so quick to judge it.

[Spallalala]

You say im assuming shit Haunted, yet look what you just did. You ASSUMED that I was talking about your mental state, when it seems that it was everyone else doing it. NOT ME
And dont tell me to keep out of a conversation. You have no right to tell me to step out.

As for the whole bitching to cheeba. Im not going to answer that. Dont want anymore fights started in here.

All I have said is the truth. Things I have seen on here since cheeba first made an appearance.


Im not sticking around. Please go ahead with the assumptions about me.

Bye all.

Might come back when things arn't so Psychotic around here.
