Sigh. Do you ever wonder why you bother?
This is what I got for my trouble:
"I've read your posts, seen your pictures on your blog, and have heard about your mental problems from you yourself, the first day I became aware of you. I've got to admit, and being in the Psychiatric research field I see some severe cases, but you really REALLY take the cake for messed up in the head. What makes you think I would ever take ANY advice from someone as messed up as you are?! Maybe you're bipolar because that is one GRANDIOSE idea!
Now, scurry along I have never been impressed with you and the only thing that becomes more and more obvious without every post from you is how mentally ill you really are. And my dear, THAT is a professional opinion.
I have a life, I have friends, I have family, I have a great career and plenty of people who love me both on the boards and MORE IMPORTANTLY . . . IN REAL LIFE!
Spend some quality time with yourself . . . I know that's hard because you can't stand yourself and hate yourself . . . but the time will be well spent as you need a LOT OF WORK!
Stop wasting your time/effort on me. You will NEVER pull me into the morass of problems that YOUR life has become for you!
After this message you will be permanently blocked."
I'm slightly confused because I do not have a blog, so I am wondering if maybe this person got me mixed up with someone else. But that seems like kind of a big mistake to make.
Honestly, I'm more confused than offended. But I do find it offensive for someone to say that they would not want any advice from someone that has a mental illness. I have been pretty open on this forum about my mental illness. And I know there are a number of people on this forum that have depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, etc. Anyone that refuses to accept any help or support from anyone with a mental illness is really denying themselves a lot of help and support. And it's sad that someone that claims to work in the mental health field would be so prejudiced.

PS - If it happens to be that woman from yesterday, then I can't say I'm surprised.
Between stuff here and at work, this has been a doozy of a week as far as "WTH?" and "WTF?" stuff. It really has been a weird week.
