I used to belong to an online depression support community. The admin of the site let's call her A she suffered from severe depression, anxiety and experienced postnatal depression in her 3 pregnancies. I found out she died suddenly last year due to suffering from an illness she also physical health problems. It has been so hard seeing all the regular online tributes saying how she was a "compassionate" and "loving" person who helped so many people in their most hardest times if their lives and the joy she brought peoples lives. She even on her LinkedIn mentioned she is the admin and does volunteering with a homeless charity.
In the online world and in the real world everyone saw A has an amazing, loving and gentle person who helped people but to me she will always be the vile woman who builled me at most vunlerable time in my life along with her legion of members. In fact she is the reason why I do not trust mental health campaigners, advocates etc.
I was a member of the group during the Covid19 pandemic in the group I mentioned on the forum as truthfully as possible that sometimes "i wished I died of covid19" instead of the young doctors and nurses who died because I don't really "deserve" to be alive in this world. The moderator of the site she attacked me and she said my comments are "insulting " and she talked about how she has been shielding during the pandemic due to her physical health problems. Another site member she was the biggest bully lets call her K and she criticised me on the site. K mentioned her cousin who died of covid19 and how she didn't get to say goodbye. She called me " selfish " and said i didn't "understand "what i was talking about. She is in her 40s and also she said " I wish I was young, had a law degree and a caring family " She attacked me on the site the moderator along with all the site members sided with K as she builled me. A and the other site members ended accused of attacking K when I tried to defend myself. The whole community turned against me.
The same month on the site when I wrote a post about how if you kill yourself people seem to care more about you and really appreciate you than if you were alive. I made reference to the suicide of a famous UK celebrity who killed herself who got loads of massive public outpouring of love A responded with hostility and called my comments "offensive". She imposed restrictions on my posts which were every post i wrote had to be all manually approved by her before it got posted. I couldn't post anything anymore even talking to members I couldn't do. She was soo rude and mean when I decided to leave the site. This experience led me back to Sanctioned Suicide.
The admin has suffered from all kinds of hardship in her life and out of all people should know that depression distorts how a person sees themselves and the world around them but instead of being compassionate like she is to everyone else she was judgemental and cruel even defending her followers who builled me at my lowest.
I feel sorry for her young kids she left behind and family but not her.
