Oh, I forgot, I have to allow the toxicity which comes from the top, so I can take it on the bottom.

To get back on topic:
I donāt know yet how to move forwardā¦ my life seems a bit stalling also. I am close to midlife crisis (in my 40ās) and already feel it. There suddenly is this void, plus my mental health issues are exacerbated. Also have bodily health issues, which makes it more difficult to do much. I have no answer, besides taking things day by day and hope for some change. I have tried many things to return into normal life, but I am practically unable. Perhaps that changes, but I an not certain of anything anymore.

Forum mods failing to take adequate action against trolls while coming down hard on those who react badly to it is an internet wide problem . This forum is easily one of the better ones when it comes to this issue. The worst experiences Iāve had have been on forums run by mental illness charities.
I think improvement is achievable. Actually using the already existing rules against bullies, by suspension, as they commonly do to the bullies victims here, isnāt a stretch or too much to ask for.
They are certainly capable of taking such actions. They choose not to. They choose to side with the bully, the instigator. When they should not side with either party, and have all involved face the repercussions.

I get attacked and if I stick up for myself I have to suffer. Mods never consider that I suffer too with unjust bans. Itās just certain posters get breaks NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO. Itās nonsense. They donāt consider the individual. I donāt (always) wanna leave this toxic cult. But thatās what it is if you donāt be consistent with the members. Imo.

Or maybe they consider the individual toooo much. But itās not based in any reality. Just agenda.

Failing to punish the bully only encourages bullying. We see it time and again, here, and outside of the internet.
It allows toxicity. It allows people to feel unsafe, and harmed, and shown that they deserve to be bullied.
This is a mental health support forum for people who face bullying in every part of their lives, even inside the walls of their own heads. To look lightly on this issue is just another failing of the mods who donāt care to correct it, because itās uncomfortable to do. Nevermind the discomfort of the bullied victim.

I remember my brother just to win in a badminton game he used Sledging against me, as he knew my weekness ,
And I lost the game. Recently.
Not to trigger anger in people but just, letting my thoughts out.
Game of life, people use tricks to over power and win, and as i have sz, it get wose and coil into the shell.
I know its there in me somewhere hidden, the courage to play back the game.
But the misbalance chemical and meds makes a stop.
Does not allow me to over think.
I have forgiven my teachers who punished me for two years of isolation and still cleared my exams.
Never had an experience to decide at that age what was right and wrong.
Its all I have recollected now after sz where did it all start.
By the way its just my story.
If you guys are going to trash talk me the least you could do is tag me.
Itās just rude not to.
Iāve been suspended.
And I agree it hurts your mental health.
I hate that so many of you, including @NotSeksoEmpirico feel that I am a troll and a bully,
But youāre free to think what you want.
Also, your revolution sounds awesome,
Canāt wait for the uprising!!

Closing this because ironically the ones claiming to be bullied are bullying.
@Joker Iām sorry you canāt seem to have a real discussion about this without people turning it into an opportunity to make jabs at other members or staff. Weāll just have to not reopen this topic until another date.
