Well, it's just a bunch of hostility and Islamophobia stuff I had a problem with that started all of this. Truth be told, I was a barnacle brain and forgot my meds today. One of the behavioral things I'm working on right now is impulse control. I have been struggling not to just go and spend money, engage in conflicting posts and what not. Forgetting my meds just turned the odds against me. It isn't an excuse, but it is something I need to work on.

when I disagreed with this.

this was the reply I got. that turned into a very heated argument.
Honestly, Dylan, people like him think it's his way or the highway and he feels entitled to ramrod his opinion down everyone's throat just because he was in the military. I imagine if he was that belligerent and headstrong while he was there, he was probably reprimanded often. Try not to let an insignificant blowhard affect your mood. They are everywhere and there opinions carry only as much weight as you allow them.....in other words, worthless.
yikes. making threats…someone should contact the police and ban him from mermaid events. what a lowlife piece of shit. not sugar coating anything, he's just purely an asshole.
I, personally, don't want to fight about this. I just didn't want to hold it in. I had to vent, but I'm starting to feel better.

Alec, that guy is a flat-out troll. The best way to shut him up is to not engage him at all. I've seen it tons of times before. I know what he says is hurtful, but he is only lashing out at you because he gets enjoyment out of your reaction.
Here, enjoy this video.

I will remember this. I don't get as bad as I did normally, but I also don't have the social skills. I think he might be my first troll.Quote:

I want to thank everyone for listening to me vent. I'd imagine I'm exhausting to listen to with all the problems that I get involved with. I feel like I'm learning how things work and how to better manage myself with each mistake I make. Hopefully, I continue to get better, and I no longer have to use this thread to vent. If I ever do need to vent, I hope becomes only the small stuff. Cheers to hoping for things to get better.
So I'm with my husband's family for the Fourth of July. We went to see the fireworks at the waterfront and when they started we realized we couldn't see, so we moved forward a few feet and had to stand so we could see over the people standing in front of us. We didn't realize that we'd blocked some people who were sitting behind us by standing. Now I don't know how long they'd asked us to sit - maybe they asked us nicely a few times and we didn't hear because fireworks. Regardless they started yelling at us to sit - they'd been sitting in that spot for two hours and we'd come and blocked them as soon as the fireworks started. I get it. They didn't swear but they were a little rude in yelling. Again, they might have asked nicely and I didn't hear. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Well my husband's uncle was drunk and got belligerent. I just sat down and they said thank you (impatiently). Like okay. We blocked you, sorry, we sit and problem is solved. Well we decided to move to get away from the problem and the uncle remained there to be rude back. Now I was raised to turn the other cheek - no need to be rude back. It's not my responsibility to call them out, and even if I needed to stand up for myself, the Fourth is not the time. Everyone's just there to do the same thing you want to do. No need to start a war; we're all there to celebrate FREEDOM. Well, later everyone is still upset about it and I voiced my opinion that I understood why they were upset and we WERE in the wrong because they were there first. I quickly realized that no one - not even my husband - agreed with me. Add to this my anxiety (I literally JUST had a panic attack last night cause many of them got drunk and loud and sweary in a family restaurant), and I was about to hyperventilate. And the uncle does NOT know how to just give me my space so I can calm down, mostly because he is drunk. Now I definitely don't want to start a battle here or anything. I just needed to vent that I'm frustrated that I'm the outsider in my opinion. Is it that hard to meet anger with peace and walk away?

canadapost just shut its doors on thousands of workers and is holding our mail hostage until the public caves into their stupid demands.
which means my top that lily sent me and the package I paid extra for to be delivered in two days will not make to to me what the fuck. And i paid extra for nothing???
I am a mess maker, but I have everything usually in a place where I can find it. We had people over yesterday and my mom cleaned my desk and stuff for me. I was really pumped to work on making more clay scales, because had rolled out a few sheets of clay a week or two ago but didn't use them because I lost my mojo to work on the tail. I looked for them everywhere, I even called my mom to double check that she indeed put them in the closet in the guest room. Yet I am unable to find them. Figures, as soon as I get excited and get my mojo back to work on this the thing I need the most disappears! Oh well, I'll keep looking, most likely it's right I front of my face and I'm oblivious.

Oh my gosh! That person is insane, I don't see any reason why he would threaten you, you were just stating your own opinions. That guy need some help! Please be careful Dylan, I would hate to see you or anyone get hurt. Some people are just scum bags, last week or so I got verbally abused and cussed out by a old guy who almost ran me over in the parking lot at my work. Any way it's not you, it's that guy who has a problem, but if he tries to extend his threats from online to in person I would contact the police immediately!Quote:

That's the one thing I can count on with Bipolar for as a last resort. I can use my own anger or emotions like that plus what rubs off of other people to fuel the fight response in the fight or flight area. That is something I've never had to do except for the moments when I've had to defend myself from my brother. Most of those moments only happen because bipolar feeds into both of us and the two of us put together on a bad day makes for an even worse day. Even then, I hold back. Still, the last thing I would ever want to do in this world is let that switch flip. I mean, there are a million or billion different things I would try before that. Getting into a physical fight is my absolute last action I would take. I'd rather have the police involved if I felt like I was in real danger or find another way. Letting loose in a fight would almost be like letting go of control, and I know that would hurt more people than I'd want to. The fact that a demon like that lurks inside me is probably my biggest fear.Quote:

Yeah. If he seems to be serious about the threat, get tge police involved. Straight away.
Because if you fight him, you could both end up in legal trouble.
If you won the fight, he could sue you for all you're worth EVEN though he's the instigator.
And that would mean that he's won. Don't let it go there. Let the police deal with it.
This guy seems like a real piece of work.
Good luck, Dylan. *hug*
I'll do that.Quote:

So, after 2 years of my 16 year old sister changing her mind about selling her horses, my dad has pretty well had it, and is selling them reguardless. She agreed to sell one, but refused to even check on them or anything.
Not to mention he is FURIOUS over her refusing to even exercise mine for just an hour a week until I deliver.
I asked her since I'm not able to ride as I'm too "front heavy"? And I'm not able to exercise my older gelding until after my son is born, and my husband doesn't feel comfortable riding him seeing as how his horse rides so much differently than mine he's scared he might mess up.
I asked her if she would ride him while I ride a fourwheeler to make sure she's safe (though, she has ridden him before and is not scared or worried about anything) she just said no that I could ride him myself if I want him rode that bad.
I just took her horse to the vet for 3 hours without so much as a thank you, and she can't spare an hour-if that to sit up there and make him walk around and stretch his legs?
I don't know if I'm being selfish or petty, but if that's the case-my dad agrees with me that its selfish of her to not even ride him for an hour.
This post is all over the place, I'm sorry.
Anyway, because my dads Pissed at her for not even checking on her own, or not riding a tiny bit for her pregnant sister who was told by a doctor not to ride until after delivery. He told me to put BOTH of her horses up for sale online for the price of one because he is beyond done.
I am happy that he wont be so stressed about two horses that aren't being messed with, but really sad and angry that She is so interested in everything else that it's come to this.
I'm also worried that as soon as we get her mares sold, she's going to want to ride mine or want me to let her friends ride when She asks, and neither me, my dad, or my husband want her on ours. Ours are for slow riding, and for pulling wagons, and she likes to teach them to run constantly and if I'm riding with my son, or My dad is wanting to ride in a wagon that could be really dangerous if they want to run constantly.
