An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
A complete stranger walked past me and said, "You'd be pretty if you were makeup."
I also saw one of my best friends from college. The first thing she said to me was, "What happened to you!" (I used to be extremely skinny and now I'm now.)

It would have been better if you had died giving you birth
you don't deserve friends because you're not cheerful enough
...and a lot more situations in which I realize I don't belong in here

That I shouldn't kill myself because I'm important to them because of [insert BS reason here].
Even a lot of the verbal abuse my dad threw at me doesn't compare to these complete lies that I get fed all the time whenever the topic of my CTB even comes up.
Platitudes are often useless, but most of the time well intentioned. But then there are people who treat people with depression or similar illnesses like shit. What is the worst thing someone said to you, because of your problems in life? What was the most hurtful comment youve ever heard?
Maybe it's a lack of words…
A mother who never said "I love you" or hugged her child. A person that abused and lied and abused and lied and abused and lied.
Maybe it was the LIES.
"I'll help."
Yeah none of them ever fucking did.
And people glorified the abuser(s) and the abuse.
They ignored my screams and pleas for help.
They ignored my boundaries.
They ignored my cries for help and said too bad.
They IGNORED the word STOP.
They screamed in my face and fucked with me.
They lied to "sweep it under the rug".
They stole everything they could and kept stealing.
They did it to make me fucking miserable and then everyone said they get away with it.
They left me empty pocketed, empty hearted, alone, miserable, and repeatedly fucked with.
They wasted my time. They wasted my life.

"Even if you emigrate away, they will never accept you as one of them" said my dad
"You are a traitor." said my dad on another occasion regarding identities/liberty.
I never cared about those people's sideline commentary,
although shocking to hear,
what I care most is to remove myself out of those harmful situations. I don't need toxic people,
and I don't need tyranny from a communist authoritarian state.

An authority figure I looked up to as a teen told me that if I didn't get my shit together I'd end up a homeless bum. He told me that he worked with homeless people and met many people that were very similar to me on the streets. I know that he meant it well, but I just can't see it that way.I always knew my life would end in the gutter, and him saying that kind of reinforced thatbnotion and turned it into more of a prophecy than a fear.
"I'm glad your brother is dead"
Said by my ex-friend. Who said many horrible things throughout our friendship. She mentioned my brother the last time we spoke, after she realised I was done and cutting ties.

Once when I tried to ctb via overdose, after failing my friend who knew about my attempt told me "So this is a cry for help".
It really hurt me and made me feel they see me as an attention seeker. I genuinely wanted to die, but at the time I didn't know that overdose was a crappy method. That's when I realized I was truly alone.
can't really remember, my parents have said a lot of awful things to me throughout the years.
i think i just kind of forget or block out what they have said/say so i can somewhat deal with still having to interact/be around them or something? i don't really understand it but oh well.

one of my personal favorites was "you're boring and you have no personality. the only good thing about you are your tits" when I was 12 years old, by a friend of a friend who I'd never even really talked to. I don't understand why neurotypicals say autistic people have no empathy when they constantly say shit like this.

So I have a brain injury from overdosing and once a staff member where I live was talking to my friend who had been threatening to overdose (she did it a lot, it's complicated). But anyway the staff member was like 'oh don't overdose because you'll end up disabled and then you really will want to die' and I was standing there like hello???? Thanks for reminding me how shit my life is lmao

Girl at work pointed at me and said to another girl, "is that your friend". Girl #2 says "HELL NO, she's crazy". It was 2018 and I was unstable all the time. I think I'm over it by now but they were pretty mean. Getting diagnosed later on really helped with getting over it because I was very ashamed of myself for being unable to keep it together back then.
Not related to me being mentally ill but prior to any of my crazy breakdowns I was standing 20 feet away from girl #2, talking to a few other women there. I was putting tags on clothes and just doing my job. The three of them were going to go to a bar together, and one of them says something like "Oh maybe [OrcWitch] could come?". I remember feeling shocked and perked up because I didn't have any friends online or irl back then. Then one of the other women went "yeah... we'll see about that..." and giggled with this sarcastic tone. That hurt my feelings a lot. I am fortunate to have a few friends now who are nice people.
