Taking a Break from The Mighty #triggered #invalidated #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #MajorDepressiveDisorder #ADHD #Selfharm #Admin
A comment that I spent quite a while formulating and typing was removed for no apparent reason. Even after being referred to the “guidelines”, I have NO idea what I could have said in violation of them, and with no way to re-read the comment that was removed, I have no way to even guess. I know that I didn’t use any profanity, and I truly don’t have any idea how I would have offended anyone, as most of my comment was sharing my experiences in agreement with the post, as far as I can remember.
So, I posted another comment in which I stated my confusion, hoping for clarification, and admitted that I was triggered into an unhealthy state, by the removal of the previous comment, but used what I understood to be a general enough term (which I won’t clarify, because then they’ll probably remove this post, too).
Now, I’m left feeling invalidated, confused, and yes, triggered, every time I think of The Mighty. I feel as though my experiences and opinions are not valid here, and I don’t want to spend my time and effort to be active here, if my comments that I’ve put considerable time and effort into, just get deleted with no explanation. Besides which, I can’t avoid making the same mistakes, unless I know what I did wrong!!
I’m feeling very hurt and angry, and I am trying to make this post as civil and guideline-respecting as I can.
I think it would be helpful if admin was expected to specify a reason for comment removal, as well as a quotation of the offending text.
