Thanks Alex,
I think people mean well too. It is just hard when my manifestations of distress are so distressing to others.
I think I need to realize when I am having thoughts of ODing etc. that I need to stop and dig deeper into why I am having thoughts thoughts. Then instead of posting that I want to OD or whatever, I post about what it is that is upsetting me.
Writing about ODing just alienates people from me. It's just the way I express my distress, but it is distressing to others.
I am working on it. I tried out writing out my distressing thoughts in a cipher form. Perhaps I should do that instead so I get to express my distress but no one will understand what it is I am writing about.
