Vyktory Free Press Special

This is not a plea for attention at all. This is just making note of a serious problem I have, and that I need to solve.
I do apologise if this comes across the wrong way.

You're just saying that because it ruins the toxic mood in micronationalism even further, huh?Jack wrote:This has no business being here.

No, I'm saying that for the following reasons:Jonas Windsor wrote:You're just saying that because it ruins the toxic mood in micronationalism even further, huh?Jack wrote:This has no business being here.
1. This is not related to micronations.
2. I'm not interested in the ridiculous ramblings of a self-proclaimed "brightest kid on the block" (1)
3. This guy is clearly insane and potentially dangerous, I don't want anything to do with him.
4. It's clearly a plea for attention even though James insists it's not.

Re: Vyktory Free Press Special
Oh, I dunno, micronationalists have personal lives which overlap their micronational ones on different levels, so if he feels it's relevant to micronationalism, then it is. Granted, this might not be something you would personally do or agree with someone doing, but mental health issues aren't something that are particularly easy to empathise with; if it's beneficial to James and how he wants to deal with his personal problems, then good on him. It's his troubles that he's looking to overcome, not anyone else's.
If you believe it to be a plea for attention and also say you don't want anything to do with him, then the last thing you should be doing is making comment on it. In doing so, you're giving attention and also involving yourself with him. At least that's this self-proclaimed "brightest god on the block's" opinion

Re: Vyktory Free Press Special
Last time I ever open up about my depression... heh
Seriously though, do you have to be such an ass, Jack? I cope with enough shit from idiots on Facebook, I don't need it here. FFS, this hobby is pretty much my only repreive from it.
Now, let me dissect that post.
1. This is not related to micronations.
It is in the sense that I'm the only guy keeping Vyktory alive, and if I died, it dies. Then again, you probably don't care.
2. I'm not interested in the ridiculous ramblings of a self-proclaimed "brightest kid on the block" (1)
If you're not interested why comment? Seriously, that's just bringing attention to yourself and making you look like an ass.
3. This guy is clearly insane and potentially dangerous, I don't want anything to do with him.
Bipolar does not equal insanity, neither does Aspergers, ADHD or other things, all of which I have. Though mild schizophrenia might add some substance to the I'm insane argument.
As for dangerous, I'm not a violent prick like I used to be. I have realised that violence is never the answer, I can remove myself from tense situations and et cetera, I didn't say that in the article because I wrote it on a bipolar low. heh
4. It's clearly a plea for attention even though James insists it's not.
Help more like it, a plea for help. Help is a form of attention.
Anyway, those of you who actually care about my mental health, I sought help and was denied by the government for "not meeting their criteria". If I don't meet the government criteria for mental health help, even when while applying my mother made me sound like I was 1000x worse, and then they go on to say that my MOTHER needs mental help more than I do, I'm clearly not insane.
Now to make a mental note of the events that have conspired here, learn lessons from mistakes and move on.

Re: Vyktory Free Press Special
All the best to you Nexxus.
When you open up about it, it's usually best to consider who you open up to first. That might be to friends you trust, or a forum community you trust, like specialized forums. Forums like these are hardly ever the best place for sympathy.nexxusdrako wrote:Last time I ever open up about my depression... heh

Re: Vyktory Free Press Special
I'd like to say that it was a very brave thing to open up about, and you clearly wanted to share something with the community. I think this is certainly micronation related as we are a community of individuals as well as a group of fictional states.
I'm personally glad you have found a way through this problem, and hope you keep fighting on. Sometimes it feels like you are walking through a swamp, but there is always dry land ahead. Each of us have our own personal stories unfolding, with so many exciting things to see in the future (like a family, children, new Wii U games and so on). There's a lot to keep living for, and only we get to experience our own stories, which makes them special. I'm glad you get to continue with yours.
As for people who are dealing this in a dickish way, depression is pretty serious. Had it been cancer, I'm sure you wouldn't have been shouting that it was attention seeking. Depression is a killer, and I'm happy to see that another person has recovered.

Re: Vyktory Free Press Special
First to the people here who disagree with my approach: I think it's great that you feel sorry for James and that you can emphasize with his problems. I for one find it hard to feel sorry for somebody who has the urge to kill his very own mother. Am I an asshole for thinking that, whatever problems James might have, this crosses the line of insanity? I don't think so. I explained why I don't think this should be discussed on a micronational forum at all, but now that it's out here, I take the time to explain why I think that, so that these kind of uncomfortable, attention-seeking and ridiculous stories will not be shared with the entire community any time soon.
And no James, not everyone who reads this forum, comments on your posts and is a member of this community is a friend of you. I didn't really know you before this and to me, this entire article just made me cringe. Do I feel sorry for you? Sure, even though I don't know you, I can see that you are a disturbed young man, and that you need help. But I don't think that just shouting "depression" would somehow take away your personal responsibility over your own actions. If you hit people, or stand before people with a knife, that's your own doing and I cannot sympathise with that in any way.
So yes, here is the crucial difference between depression and cancer. Cancer is a process that happens inside the body, without anything the person suffering from it can do. Depression is not. In fact, depression is not even a disease. If a depressed person undergoes an MRI, nothing shows up. Depression is a serious thing, but it is a psychological problem, meaning that a person with depression can actually change his behaviour and thinking pattern. It may be hard, and it may be that professional guidance is necessary, but it can be done. For the sake of your poor mother, I certainly hope that you will get over this.
Now, allow me to disect your disection for you.
However, let me end on a positive note. I don't know you, really, but for what it's worth, I hope that you get over this and can develop the mental strength and responsibility that befits a person of your age.

You said it. However, my problem is not this, it's that OOC and IC cross lines here, which I think is a very dangerous thing. We are not secessionists and it is my intention that we will never become like them in any respect. Keeping OOC and IC apart is the first necessity for this.nexxusdrako wrote: It is in the sense that I'm the only guy keeping Vyktory alive, and if I died, it dies. Then again, you probably don't care.
You are not the first person doing something like this. I still cherish a small glimmer of hope that if I object to articles like this, I can avoid this from becoming commonplace.If you're not interested why comment? Seriously, that's just bringing attention to yourself and making you look like an ass.
This doesn't convince me whatsoever. I still think that what you wrote in your article makes it quite clear that you are a dangerous person to be around. For the sake of your surroundings, I wish that it weren't so and I hope that you are right.Bipolar does not equal insanity, neither does Aspergers, ADHD or other things, all of which I have. Though mild schizophrenia might add some substance to the I'm insane argument.

You know that nobody here can help you in any way, therefore this is a fallacy.Help more like it, a plea for help. Help is a form of attention.
However, let me end on a positive note. I don't know you, really, but for what it's worth, I hope that you get over this and can develop the mental strength and responsibility that befits a person of your age.

Re: Vyktory Free Press Special
Jack, you've previously shown your lack of knowledge of a wide variety of topics, but your basic misunderstanding of depression really takes the biscuit. Depression is a disease, but as far as I can see you've got no excuse for your ignorance.
