[quote=Anonymous]I disagree that they’re all necessarily trolls and fake based on my own experience. I had a crazy messed up thing happen in my life and it was too much to discuss with anyone I knew, but I also realized I needed advice pretty immediately and that I wasn’t yet in a place where I had the energy to describe it all to a brand new therapist, let alone find one.

So I put it on DCUM, acknowledged it was pretty out there, and asked for practical advice.

I was told pretty immediately that I was a troll and the thread got flagged and I think Jeff deleted it and later referenced it as a troll thread on the website issue forum or whatever it’s called. In hindsight I don’t blame anyone’s reaction.

At the time I felt weirdly hurt and invalidated. But in some ways being told my story was so crazy it had to be fake did actually help because it gave me an explanation for my strong reaction and the destabilization I felt from that event.

I look at every wild thread and my reaction is relief that it’s not my life.[/quote]
