At the moment, I would not hesitate for a single moment to take rebirth in the world of FIM right now. This very moment. No hesitation.

That's awful, I am sorry to hear that, I was up late last night and about to go to bed so I was not sure how to respond to this one. I don't know if I'd feel the same, the real world is hard to deal with sometimes yes. I would not be in any hurry to die just for that even if that fantasy could come true, which it will not. In fiction becoming a ghost even awaiting reincarnation, can be upsetting for people. I'd also be banking on the idea of rebirth "medicating" the pain of loss in that imaginary scenario. The pain of loss would be the one thing that would make it hard for me to adapt to a place like Equestria, becoming a Pony there like in that fan fiction would not be the issue, but being disconnected from individuals you knew would suck. It's not a terrible afterlife in this fantasy by any means, however it would come with irreversible consequences, I would consent to this rebirth if I could but that would not mean I'd commit suicide.

It has been a long time since I've ventured into forums. I missed the individuality of profiles as well as the graphics people had for their avatars and signatures.

Sometimes things are hard, but my heart is stronger.

When you take the time to reflect on the littlest things in life, like the little miracles, yes I call them little miracles (things like the gift of sight, speech, touch, love, etc.), these things can help remind you that while many things in life seem daunting, they are just really minor things that you are turning into big things. 

The tear is finally closing.

Im sorry but I don't care what world you live in or what you think will happen. I am a medical student, and suicide is the dumbest thing a person can do. I didn't even write it on this page because it is so stupid. I don't want to hear that word again, I tried it twice and my life fell to pieces. 

I am furious right now, story or not I don't care. You are putting your loved ones in misery. I have seen this shit happen enough times to know. Suicide is a thing that rubs me the wrong way because it means you have no appreciation for your life. Your past, present, and future don't matter anymore. You have no care for what is beautiful in the world.

I already said I am not a MLP fan. But I want this forum to be positive. NEVER say that word in front of me.

This is also a thread about saying what we think. Don't tell others that they should not be allowed to share what is on their mind.

Then I'll quit this forum. I already said in the past that this thread is a bad idea. Such a shame too, because it really was a kind place.

It still is, most people here don't tolerate berating people for fan fictions, even if they think the real world is a cruel place, which, it is. You say you're a medical student yet you seem to think the real world is without problems. Beautiful is not what I would describe our world has, there's a lot of people out there who treat us badly, either through policy making or something else. That causes us stress, which we sometimes come to forums to vent about, with the hope that some people, would be understanding of our plight, and not everybody, is, but most people I've seen on this forum at least try to maintain civility.

Expand  

No, the world is a good place. I never said it didn't have problems. I am a medical student and I am only trying to help. However you are just neglecting civilization. My series isn't/barely known to mankind. You have people to be with, share experiences with. I don't. You have people that love and care about you. If I hear that word one more time I will leave. I have tried to do the same thing twice in my life and both times I felt worse and worse. Just because you like MLP doesn't mean other people don't suffer. I have Epilepsy and because of it my shoulders may never be usable again. I respect your love for the series. I do very much as mine is borderline impossible to watch. I try to respect people with passion and this forum has more. But life always comes before fiction, if you don't like that I'm sorry.

If I did not think other people don't suffer I would not have described our world as a cruel place. Some people may care about our well being, including family, but that is not the same for everybody, people in power very rarely care about our well being, and are escalating tensions with foreign nations. I don't have hope that our world will change for the better, that is my opinion of course, but an opinion I have a right to, as you have a right to be optimistic if that is how you feel. But I've lived a long time and I have seen on more than enough occasions that people repeat the same mistakes, such as thinking trickle down economics would bring down inflation, economists have told them it has the opposite effect and people don't listen. People as a collective, have made bad choices, bad choices that could very well end up ending civilization as we know it. What I'm doing now is living with the time I've got with family, with the solace that one day our suffering will end, when we die naturally.

Wait! thanks I guess? Also that wasn't my medical suggestion. I just really hate that word.

WHERE DID YOU FIND THESE GLORIOUS EMOTES 

[Mlaatr fan2 225]

I am trying to end this argument because I respect MLP. I said this a few times.

Thank you @Dawnshine Wonder. I appreciate it.

[Mlaatr fan2 225]

You are still my friend, so I want tell you what happened in a private chat. 

I don't think either of us was completely right.

[Mlaatr fan2 225]

Sorry everybody. My medication side effects kicked in at a bad time. Before my medication I never would have got so heated.

A long defunct forum from almost a decade ago, I sensed its imminent demise and archived a few folders worth of emotes.

It's good to have a place for them to finally see the light of day again.

I mean, if people truly think they can salvage what's left of the situation, be my guest. They can do whatever they feel they are capable of to see to it that the worst does not happen. However living for such a long time, I have witnessed a pattern of negative behaviour with the population being repeated that it's almost impossible to see a valid case for optimism. However if people do nothing, they cannot expect good things to happen and no good can come of that, so there's that. Division will only be defeated if people fight for justice. I appreciate the fact some people boycott Tesla cars and all, but the truth of the matter is it's not enough, to stop the cruelty being perpetuated by wealthy people in power, it will take a massive uprising or protest, and we don't have that, instead what we have is a large number of people going along with things like transphobia, antisemitism and all the other forms of bigotry, or at least oblivious to it and treat this as if it doesn't even matter, same thing with bullying, bullying is widespread and oftentimes it is victims who get blamed not the other way around, so it does feel like a lost cause to some people.

 

I'm just saying not everybody feels like they have that potential to bring positive change in the world, that is when disillusionment sinks in and it dawns on people that perhaps what people are fighting for, is an illusion. I will be out of my misery when I eventually leave this world, but other people still in it, won't.

I don't get those side effects with mine, however, when I fail to take my medication on time, symptoms usually manifest into things like insomnia, staying awake all night more often than usual, as cortisol levels spike, I'm pretty sure blue light from staring at my monitor contributes to that, but even without my computer, not taking my medication is not helpful, another issue with failing to take my medication is panic attacks, which I used to experience frequently. One of my medications is beta blockers, which reduces that problem and helps me sleep, that I have come to appreciate because staying awake all night is not only bad for health, it can make depression, much worse. Another one of my medications is a mood stabilizer.

I have been told to seek therapy but I doubt there is any therapy that would remedy what I'm going through. That's not necessarily true for everyone else, I do advise that they try therapy if they need it. But what is going wrong with my mental health is far more complicated than take "meds, sleep well" etc. It's disillusionment about the world and feelings of powerlessness to fix what is wrong with it, and not even my MLP fan fiction helps, because it's not reality. I don't have all of the answers and honestly, nobody really does, not even a scientist. However I'm so far out of it that I don't believe I'm coming back. Still, whatever happens, I wish all the best to everybody else here.

I don't know what you're thinking or going through. I'm sorry if something terrible has happened or is happening. However therapy or personal counseling is exactly what I would recommend. I was annoyed because I felt exactly the same way at one point. I felt so useless in the world, only thinking about the negatives. 

I want you to come back and you're right I don't have all the answers. But after being stuck in my dark room for 2 years, I realized learning is important and something I still want to experience. I have had so many panic attacks just doing my work. I was sent to a hospital for one. Your mindset is what will help you live on. Please take some time to relax. Try new things and find something you enjoy. If you are still here, please talk to your doctor about this. Certain medications have bad interactions with other medications. I consider you as a friend, a lot of others probably do too. But I am just trying to help that friend, not force.
