The DU Lounge
In reply to the discussion: Thanks to my friends and supporters for everything, but I too think it's time to walk away from DU. [View all]solara
(3,894 posts)I haven't been on DU a lot lately but when I -do-venture here I find that I need to block some of the posters because of the rampant negativity and shrill hysteria that accompanies the torches and pitchforks that seem to be gathering here lately. Oh yes and the blatant FEAR -it feels good to be able to stop the whiny voices of fear and, really, I feel a lot better about being here.
I don't write much any more but I still lurk..though I did not read your post re: coming out about your recent psychiatric break. I salute you for your bravery on all levels and I believe I understand as much as I possibly can.. especially the estrangement from self.. and the feeling that you are absolutely alone.
I assure you that you are not alone no matter what it seems like. People are cruel to others because they dwell in fear, which is a kind of mental illness too. I truly believe we are all Bozo on this bus. ( And I use the singular 'Bozo' on purpose)
I am sorry you feel you have to leave DU, but if you do, please consider returning.
Again I apologize that you were treated with such insensitivity.
Take care of yourself and I look forward to hearing how things are going for you.
Peace,
Solara
