What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

The thing about GoFundMe that I read up on last night is that it isn’t like Kickstarter where they have to meet a goal to get the money. You can take out money whenever you want regardless if you meet that ballsy goal of $5,000.

So anyone he cons into giving him money, he can just take out and use right away.

Honestly, considering that there are no photos of the family members, nor some transparency in why he needs exactly $5000 is more evidence of trolling and imo whoever gets duped into that deserves their monetary loss.

What the actual fuck?

Repo - if I was a mod I would perma-ban your account.

You’ve been seeking attention and pity for years on this site and when members offer up advice you just ignore them. For years you’ve had sympathy and support on this forum and you haven’t done shit to fix things. You are selfish and do nothing but drain everyone and everything around you.

I barely contribute to Racketboy but at least when I do it’s positive. (Well this post might seem negative)

Mods - can we please cut this guy? He’s basically stealing and has a perverse sense of reality and what is morally correct.

I do like this space for its minimal drama and overall positive attitude. Although I go on a discord server that is more fast-paced for talk about games, especially with the few users that are more ms-dos/retro windows sort of gamers (I'm definitely not as big on consoles). Perhaps contributing more might fix that?

While technically the post doesn't break any rules it's in very bad taste.

Ugh, whatever. Just don't interact with him about it. The mods will reach out.

Smile: Finally feeling settled and productive in the new job. Big demo of my work happening today.

Frown: I've been on an SSRI for a few years and I've started to question both the need and efficacy of it. I do weekly therapy, which is something I didn't do before I started taking the SSRI for anger problems, and I feel like I have a lot of tools to handle what I initially turned to medication for. I've been working to ween myself off of the SSRI (safely) but the physical side effects are a lot more significant than I expected. It's reminding me a LOT of how my mom had me on adderall in the 90s (most parents did, it seems) and I had to work to get myself off of it because I knew it wasn't doing what it was supposed to. It's one thing to feel kind of helpless about a situation when you're 17, it's an entirely different frustration to feel the same way when you're 38.

As someone who has frankly extreme mental health issues (psychiatrist said I might have schizophrenia as well as ocd and type 2 bipolar, but felt like a diagnoses wouldn't do much as the meds would be the same anyways), I will say that with SSRI's there's always a withdrawal issue. I'd say try to power through it, but ONLY when you are in a comfortable place in life. Definitely not with a new job. The withdrawal will make your depression and possible anxiety seem a lot worse than it usually is, and it'll dissipate over time.
