WHY IM NOT HERE
Im not here because I want to be here
Im not here because all my friends are here
Im not here to be anyones punching bag
Im not here to be subjected to your poison PMs
Im not here to be a social butterfly
Im not here to conform to anyones ideals of how to act
Im not here to take lessons in life and etiquette
Im not here to take anyones abuse
.
WHY I AM HERE
Im here to find coping methods
Im here because I feel like shit
Im here to offer my coping methods
Im here for the camaraderie
Im here because others here understand and are empathetic.
Im here to find reasons why I feel this way
Im here because Im tired of being alone
Im here to offer a shoulder when Im strong enough to do so.
.
Now that Ive made it very clear I will say this to those who sent me poison today...you are right about one thing it will never happen again because I blocked your sorry butt. Im so tired of being stepped on and I thought of all places it wouldn't happen here...I was wrong.
To those who send me hugs and messages of support I will say my responses are tardy at best most of the time I just hurt too much to respond. Im tired of hurting and being hurt...Im tired of being broken.

There are facilities on DS to EFFECTIVELY deal with this kind of thing.
If you preserve evidence, and can present it to DS and 'make your case', DS will take measures. Keep offensive PMs and your replies to them if any. Keep offensive hugs .. do not delete them. Guide DS to this evidence via abuse form or feedback form (as appropriate). You can use 'links' to the 'evidence' within the forms so DS can verify the abuse. Do not commit an offense in response to an offense. Remain innocent of any infraction ... usually by ignoring the source. Report and Ignore is the advice.
I'm sorry too that someone harassed or hurt you in any way. Please do take what WV said if this kind of thing ever happens again. I hope it doesn't. I know you are in a lot of pain and please please don't feel like you need to return a hug when I send you one. It certainly isn't expected and I know you do what you can to get through each day.
Thinking of you.
