Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Stop. It doesn't matter that vile people say vile things. They dislike themselves and misdirect their contempt and rage. What matters is being the best you you can be. Work on getting to know you underneath all the layers, loving yourself. Never talk to those people again. They're poison.
Other people may lose patience, but they're human, and if you haven't noticed, there's a lot going on in the world that has almost everyone stressed out and on edge. In short, everyone has problems. I'm sorry that these people added so needlessly to yours. For right now, you need to focus on loving you. Take a warm bath or shower, imagine all those vile things that were said and done as black, toxic gunk as you wash clean being washed away and going down the drain to the sewer where they belong. Be patient with yourself and the people who care about you (unless you're in immediate danger) because they're human too. I'm going to sleep, now and am sending you my best wishes.
