What If I Don't Want To Get Better

Anthony, I have to agree with Batgirl. FWIW.

What exactly is a troll? Assuming you're not meaning the mythical variety.

A troll is a person that makes false claims in order to get "in close" with a group like ours, with malicious intent.
They will make false claims and "fake" their way through. Then they'll use that information elsewhere, to hurt or make fun of those they "got in close" with. Seen that happen before. And in that case they did a lot of damage.

And those who have no other intent than to cause / make trouble... basically, bounce from one community to another causing mischief. From wikipedia:

In Internet terminology, a troll is someone who intentionally posts derogatory or otherwise inflammatory messages about sensitive topics in an established online community such as an online discussion forum to bait users into responding.[1] They may also plant images and data on networks that others may find disturbing (usually indirectly relating to the individual in person) in order to cause confrontation. While not necessarily related to hacking, such a practice is against the Computer Misuse Act 1990 in the United Kingdom, where mischief is caused in order to ensure chaos is spread.

And I think the key that told us he/she/it's a troll is when the line "What if I don't want to get better?"
Don't want to get better? Then don't come here.
Here get better. He we make improvements to ourselvs.
Here we rejoice in surviving.

Absolutely CJ, and to be honest, a person who outright admits they don't want to get better here, is a person who will continue to try their best bringing those that do want to get better down to their sick and twisted level of existence... well said CJ.

I don't want to be a nuisance in my first week here, but I think I undersand where the OP is coming from. What do we mean by "better" anyway?

Functional? Under control? Sure, I want that.

Normal? I don't think that's possible. Even if it were, would I want it? I'm not sure I would. I honestly think I see the world more completely than other people, and that I've been innolulated agaist fear for the rest of my life.

Hmmm. I am by no means not afraid anymore. Fear is a major component to my PTSD. Also, fear is simply being human. I don't think there are really too many "no fear" people that were not on or are not currently on a path to self destruction and taking inappropriate risks because they simply are at the phase of not caring if they live or die. It passes with healing. It is not what you call suicidal, but a lack of care for one's self and safety.

Hope this makes sense... trying to type and read with a headache.

You had asked what if I don't want to get better? Quite simple..........then don't.

What kind of world would this be anyhow, if everyone were well? Pure Fantasy!

Those who don't want to get better, cannot be forced too.

Imagine what a frustrating, futile, expenditure of precious time and energy that would be on others, and those who do want to get well. And, what about all the give-and take, and effort and time expended on someone who does not even want to get well.

That would make for less available family time, time with friends and support to those who do want to get well and are willing to work.... work.... work.... work.... continue.... continue.... continue.... continue and persist in their personal Life and Death healing mission. Those who do want to get better ought to be supported while those who clearly do not want to get better ought to be told, quite simply then don't.

Never heard of the troll expression before - I know 'real life' trolls too!

I agree - some don't want to get better, and those will just go on being happily miserable. I was going to ponder over what this person might have meant through their wave of anger, but then I realised there is no way I would sign up to a PTSD forum where I was asking for help and support as "love2hate". When I signed up I actually agonised over what to call myself, because I wanted it to be real to me. I couldn't think of anything, so I just came as me and my real name (imagination ****wit!). Naming yourself "love2hate" is never going to give a good impression. There is something boasting in that which I think says enough about a person's interest not being in getting better - but only in pushing fight after fight to fuel their own hate/anger/sense of power/control.

Help the people who need, want and deserve the help. Those who don't won't benefit anyway. Glad the troll was banned, I don't like that kind of negative presence.
