I was abused in a forum, specifically a relationship forum
The worst part is, I thought someone who was attacking me was helping me, and they just stomped me in the mud ;(
I'm in pain and I just don't want to live anymore

Ok. ok. I don't know what I am going to do to assist you, but it might help if we know in detail what happened. Especially since someone else probably can help you even if I can't.

What type of forum was it?

I'm only on this one because otherwise it's communicating with normal people and that's too much hard work (trying to read between the lines).

I've had a lot of bad advice from people I thought at the time were trying to help me. There's a lot of monouvering for position among normals that I don't see the point of.

I am really sorry this happened to you. I understand what that feels like. I have not had that exact thing happen in a forum but I have been brutally attacked in forums before and I have had close relationships treat me like s***. In fact, one of my close relationships is doing that to me now. And it hurts like so insanely bad. I also completely understand the hopeless feeling when you just don't see the point of living anymore. I have felt that way plenty of times. In fact, I was literally, just two hours ago, rehearsing how I was going to tell my psychologist that I don't see any point in trying to keep making efforts to sustain my life since I seem to be failing so miserably at every point. And even though the things I succeed at are great, they don't matter if I can't financially afford to stay alive.

So I totally understand what you might be feeling even if I don't know exactly what happened. I want you to know that you are not alone in this and I can now know that I am not either. We can hold on to each other and get through it together. I will keep checking this thread to see how you are doing and if you want to pm me that would be fine too. I am on the Eastern seaboard of the the United states so I am on Eastern Standard time. So I usually check the threads throughout the waking hours here. Feel free to pm if you like. I know you are hurting intensely. We will get through it together.

Thank you HG. I will have to pm you because of the nature of the thing. I can't speak about it publicly.
:heart:

Some people are jerks and some like to troll. If you come across an idiot online, they could just be trolling you. I just block them if possible.

I wouldn't say i was abused on NT forums but I was depressed & made LOTS of posts trying to better analyze, sort things out, get support, get advice I could actually apply that would help, & to find others who related. People eventually thought I was just a troll cuz I kept going on about the same stuff & not listening to their advice cuz it didn't work for me. They started attacking me in my threads.

I'm sorry that happened. Unfortunately there are a lot of nasty people on some corners of the internet. Try not to let their words affect what you think of yourself. They're in the wrong for attacking you.

Thanks
It seems I have been too believing in some people's advice
Unfortunately I find advice said completely based on the person's origins, so sometimes it's like a polar bear asking for ice from a camel

That is a real shame.

That is a real shame.
That eventually led to me joining this forum & I've been alot happier since.

Theres no such thing as "NT Forums". At least five members of a big online forum are autistic.

I meant to say fifteen members. And ok, that is true.
