Last night I intervened in the alleged impeding suicide of a hw member.
Anyway the fear of my "friend" dying, triggered my PTSD, my BPD and my BIPOLAR. I was in a state. I went into chat and soon after a friend came in - and then very selfish individual came in. I was trying to talk to my friend about my upset but this other person was so insensitive that I decided to leave the room with a parting remark and went back after they had left.
It was later, during the night that I discovered that my "friend" wasn't who they said they were - and everything was likely a lie. The police advised that the person who this person said they were did not exist. Not just did their name, date of birth not check out, neither did any of the legal details that they had suckered me into believing.
This person gave me soooooooo much "information" about themselves and had me believing they were who they said they were. I thought we had a close friendship.
Can't be too careful when trusting people in real life - more so on line.
The site has this individuals ip address, it would prolly come under meeting duty of care if that ip address was forwarded to the police, so the police can work out the true risk level of this individual.
Isn't Healing Well is about healing well??? Not about lies, deception, betrayal, (oh and downright rudeness). How about the minority of people who are harmful lift their game - just a little!!! Be a bit more thoughtful to those of us who are actually taking the hard steps to healing. Don't try to drag us down with you!
