I said she was similar to me, and she hides a ton of issues. Also, have I done something to offend you in this group or the other one? Because it honestly feels like you're completely attacking me for ranting in a RANT chat
Will both of you please. SHUT UP! You are both able to dk this Amanda stop judging thus is a place you need to let your stuff out if your stressed stop always taking things to another level
Evelyn it's okay I actually just finished thus strange version of summer school and you can di what you want but if someone retailiates like that just walk away you are both old enough ((and hopefully mature enough)) to understand this right?!

Stuff like this is why I'm thinking about leaving

Sigh. Do you ever just play a conversation out in your head? Like all of the things that went unsaid or all of the reasons why you had to leave someone you cared about behind without an explanation? Maybe a letter, so you could say everything you needed to say without the other person interrupting or shutting you out first? Sigh. I have written so many letters in my head during the last few months. Of course, none of them have found their way on paper and into the other person's hands, but still. Sigh.
Just ranting need no replies. This is the fourth month I have been behind on all of my bills I'm losing my phone Tuesday for good which I have grown very attached to. I am three months behind on rent and I cant even afford a sedative to put my,mind at rest during this trial of our government being shutdown. I'm practically put out of work scraping coins just to get by. I know I'm not the only one struggling, but I cant say that I havent thought about just ending the stress altogether. Sleeping forever with no worries over bill's or what my next dollar goes toward seems way better than the life I'm living. I feel so blah and I am ready for it to just stop. My car got the brake line cut when I got off work Friday and now I just have another bill and another worry to endure. Bipolar depression sucks.
I am excited 😆. I joined a new group today!

I miss roleplaying with Sumehra and Ivaaninja- my best friend that I met on here about four and a half years ago. I miss my best friend. I miss talking about our roleplays, books, poetry/drawings, dating, and Halloween. We went through breakups and hopeless crushes together. She was the first person I came out to. We were there for each other through both of our periods of depression.
I don't normally share it with other people, but I have a morbid sense of humor. Lol It only comes out when I am among my immediate family, because I know most people won't understand it. I was able to share it with her though and she understood it because she had a similar one too. That sort of made her like family. God, I miss her. I don't feel like I will ever have a friendship with anyone else quite like ours.
Mod
Aww, I’m so sorry about that. I also understand that feeling too.
And I miss this group during that period too, I feel like it was so much more lively back then with everyone always engaging with each other, no matter if they’re new or old or have known each other before or not, and plus how the notifs were always constantly popping off. It’s a shame that slowly people began becoming inactive and everyone started doing the same thing. sigh :((
Mod
Thanks. Yeah, it was. I actually have talked to a couple of old roleplayers here and there and I know that at least one of them is waiting for there to be more interesting roleplays. I also remember from my time on here that many old members only come back when they saw people they recognize or have roleplayed with before active in the group. Once in a while, one of the old members might see someone whose roleplaying they like and pm them rather than going to the Find Someone to Roleplay With thread.
It would be great to revive the group again. It's amazing that this group has lasted as long as it has- eight years, I think. I think it is still great, but it needs more members and a good, active mod to organize events that will attractive more active members.
Mod
Yeah, this group lasted for so long. I agree we totally should revive this group again but I literally have no idea what happened to all the mods. It seems there's no active mod at all.
Mod
Mod
You can do that if you would like to.
I'm not sure if I can be a mod of a group this capacity. Hahaha
Mod
That doesn't need to be a first action though. I can pm Beth first since we have roleplayed a lot over the years.
Mod
Same, I’ve been trying to be active as often as I can but I’m only active this much because my classes are all moved online so I don’t have anything else to do home. Plus I just started my first year of university so it’s a bit stressful.

That was not the subject that I touched on and people would fall silent. Perhaps their silence is an awkward silence in some instances. Okay. Lol There I go again, overthinking. The perks of anxiety. Lol
Hey, what the f***?? If you wish you had ADHD or dyslexia you need serious mental help.ADHD and dyslexia are not fun quirks to throw around and joke about. As someone who is constantly struggling with ADHD, it is sickening to see it simplified to a goofy stereotype or romanticised as some sort of game. That's f***ing messed up . ADHD leaves people prone to anxiety, depression, and ostracizes them from society. It is f***ing exhausting how many people ask me if I have autism because I'm jumping around or I keep making noises or I'm stimming because I'm stressed and I can't help it.
There's nothing cute or quirky about sitting in a room for 2 hours so your family can pay hundreds of dollars they don't have to hear that you need to swallow down even more chemicals so that you can have an education and a job and be respected by other people. There's no fun in always being alone because no one can handle the days you forget to take your pills.
I cannot speak for people who have dyslexia, however, I guarantee they don't want their dyslexia simplified to a fun quirk either. Just because they're not as scaring or debilitating as other things doesn't mean they're not real conditions that cause problems and even abuse. It doesn't mean they're not struggles people have to cope with every day or pay hundreds of dollars just to seem normal.
I am not angry or trying to insult anyone here. I'm sure there are plenty of members of this RP who have ADHD, dyslexia, or even both. I'm just trying to make sure people are aware that this isn't some goofy joke or fun talent you wish you had. I love Percy Jackson and all of Rick Riordan's series' of that nature. His inclusion and explanation of ADHD and dyslexia were fascinating, creative, and awesome in-universe. But wishing for ADHD or dyslexia is like wishing you were blind or deaf (having either of or both ADHD and/or dyslexia does not compare to being without or severely impaired of a sense, it's an analogy). You're asking for life to be more difficult than it needs to be.
Additionally, if edits could be made to the description of this RP reflecting that, I would appreciate it immensely.
Thank you,
Geo

Hello, we are immensely sorry for any harmful connotation that it can potentially cause. We certainly would never endorse the romanticisation of disorders as I myself have personal experiences with other disorders. I genuinely agree with all the things that you have said and understand the exhaustion and frustration regarding the idea of others simplifying such disorders to goofy stereotypes.
However, this bio was written a very long time ago by mods who are no longer active in the group. As a result of this group falling into inactivity, that problematic phrase is left unnoticed for many years and unchanged because no one was able to do so. I am actually a new mod who was appointed very recently. The new mods have, in fact, just recently discussed about changing that bio because we understand the problematic nature of it. We apologise that we didn’t change the phrase sooner, as we should’ve.
I can reassure you that I am completely with you regarding this matter. I am very thankful that you brought this serious matter up because I truly believe in the importance of spreading awareness and ending the sickening misconception about ADHD and dyslexia. I will strictly ensure from now on that the idea of romanticising disorders will never ever reflect our group’s views and values again.

I get that feeling as well.

Sigh. I don't know. Is it odd that I think that way? Lol I feel like River from Firefly now, talking about how long it takes for a human to be completely drained of blood- given adequate vacuuming systems, of course. Lol Huh, I feel better. I guess pragmatic, sometimes morbid thinking can be a strangely helpful coping mechanism.
Mod
Oh, right, now I remember. Many women in my part of the world are not really with men for their more charming qualities or forced to be with men because we can't provide for ourselves. In many cases, it's because there are still women who are straight, bi, or another sexuality- that involves them being attracted to men- and don't want to be lonely or want just someone to fool around with. Of course, that means that men are being used, but I don't know; it seems like sometimes, some of them like that anyway.
Okay. Now, I am done.
Mod
Well, of course, not all gay couples adopt either. Some have surrogates or use donated sperm. Sigh. I am just self-correcting. I am such a perfectionist sometimes. Lol
Sigh. I don't know if I actually feel better or not.
Mod
haha. one o my charicters almost got choked to death and i broke 3 o my fingers. so just peachy!
hehe. they gave me a asprin for the pain. im tired now...
haha. i donkt wanna but i goona get worst typing so u guys wont bebaale to tell hwat i saying...hold on...ok...gota go now. it already messing withme. sorry
Mod
yeah, both genders suck, it just depends which one you like more or the one that you think is the right one for you.
to be honest I like both just swing mainly to girls because easier for me.
Mod
Ah make sense, you don't need to rush though take sometime think about it and relax if you find someone you like like really like then try them and see how it works, if it works it works. ironic coming from me since I don't date much but it's just that I have very high trust issues.
