Two days ago, I made the worst mistake of my life. I’ve not only insulted my friends, but I’ve insulted those who are struggling with severe mental issues and I’ve insulted those who work with struggling people. I want to apologize for that. I had no place to comment on such matters. I was uninformed and had neglected to do any sort of research before saying the two comments. I have always heard mental asylums talked about in a negative way, and that’s what influenced my previous view. But two people who are struggling mentally set me straight in the toughest way they could. They informed me of what these facilities actually do for people while rightfully cutting me off. To those who have suffered or are suffering now, I am sorry for insulting you so horribly. To those who work at those facilities, I’m sorry I insulted you so horribly. Now that i am informed, I know now that these people are in good hands and are getting the help they need. They don’t want to be there, but a kind soul told me that if they had their way, they would be six feet under instead of getting better. And I can see that it is the honest truth. I’ve been informed of what these facilities do, and what they do is important, even if the people they help don’t think so. If you’re suffering and you’re headed to a mental hospital because the people you love would feel that you’re safer there, give it a chance. They have staff who will help you and protect you. They will help you recover until you find the strength to live on. Again, you may not want to, but it is better than suffering alone. To everyone I’ve hurt with my comments, I’m truly sorry. It wasn’t my intent, but that doesn’t change the fact that I did it. You deserve so much more than an uninformed Internet jerk trying to help you. You need experts who know what they are doing and who are trained to help people with their suffering. To Marionette and Mae, I’m sorry. I wish I could take back what I said so we can be friends again. You deserve so much better than what you have and what I’ve given you. I hope you two find peace in your lives one day and I hope you can forgive me. I love you /plat and I send a thousand hugs to each of you, even if you don’t accept them. Even though you hate me now, I’ll always care about you guys and look out for you. Even if I can’t contact you directly.
Thank you to Marionette and Mae for setting me straight. Thank you to the people who are helping those in need.
