Have you ever been defamed and misconstrued to the point where you became a pariah? (self.mentalhealth)

In all the situations that it would not be a court case.

Not in a "single person did this" way but like I eventually get ousted from all circles when I let myself go. Since it went haywire way back in childhood and I am past the age where I can actually get to know people really well easily, I am kind of locked in to this state.

Since I am very distraught about coming after people (and these disgusting toughts poisoning my mind nor it helps at all) Im mainly considering suicide. That is something only I can do for myself. A gift.

Well, I've been through the mental health system, and I feel a bit like a pariah, because I disagree with the view of doctors that meds are the best solution to mental health problems. I think non-drug approaches are better. Allowing a person to figure out what has disturbed them in life, and what they need to do to resolve any worries.

If people want to take these drugs then okay, but I also think people should have the right to take other approaches.

@[email protected] I have, so I feel you there. Are you going to file a timely claim?

Yes, in March. They deserve what's coming to them.
