I never said I recovered. The hell is your problem? You come over here claiming to speak on behalf of people with mental disorders, and then when I come out and say "hey, here's what I suffer with", you make a point to mock my depression calling it "big sad" and putting words in my mouth stating that I'm claiming everyone else has a "skill issue".
The only issue here is your behaviour. I'm not taking anything you say seriously from this point on out because how am I supposed to trust that you're supposedly speaking on behalf of people like myself when you throw them under the bus the second you get the opportunity to over a disagreement.
At no point did I call anybody here any names, and yet hilariously I'm being made out to be the bad guy because I have a differing opinion. Get the hell out of here with this disrespect and never claim to speak on behalf of people with any disorder ever again.
Take your own advice and do the same. Your lack of empathy for suffering people is disgusting.
Saying I have a "lack of empathy" is rich when you mock a person with depression for their diagnosis.
Have a good day.
"Censor people you disagree with"
The modlogs are public. Anybody here can go to the modlogs to see what you've been saying and I encourage them to. I once again reiterate you mocked my depression diagnosis calling my PDD "big sad" to "make a point" when at no point did I insult you or anybody else on this thread.
I can disagree with people and be civil about it. You took something I suffer from (a mental disorder), claimed to speak on behalf of it, and then in the same breath, mocked me for having it.
You called me a "shitty person", but ironically enough you seem to be projecting saying things like this.
