Don't let the bigots win, just put them on your ignore list. that way you can start enjoying your time here. let the bigots stew in their own hatred.

Sounds smart.
If you can't keep from reacting to their bullying and harassment, only thing you can do is either block them or ask for a ban.
You could try signing out and self-regulating if you're up for it.
At this moment, though, you're in an emotionally reactive state and it will be tough to bring back the cold, hard, logical, regulated Scribs. I'd wait to make any decisions until you're able to find that version of you again. Then make a decision.
But, if you get nothing but stress, anxiety, and emotional panic from this site on a near daily basis, just sign out, leave. You can try blocking people so you don't have to read posts but people will quote them.
But how will asking to get banned prevent you from creating a new account and signing back in? Band-aids for lacerations? Or is this the right medicine for the disease?
This is why I think you should wait a bit until you can bring that other version of Scribs to the decision table.

I really wish this approach would work. Scribs is great when we talk about stuff. I enjoy Scribs perspectives and comments even if we don't agree on stuff - it's always nice to have a well-thought-out perspective on the stuff we find interesting.
It would be a shame to lose Scribs perspectives but I am not too selfish to demand Scrib keep posting here when it's toxic and Scribs is struggling.

sure i do. but i can still differentiate between online bullshit (which no one should really give a **** about) and real world bullshit.
When I am treated like shit, lied about and manipulated, I tend to react as if I've been treated like shit, lied about and manipulated, regardless of whether it is online or not.
You do not have the first understanding of mental illness.

It's rather sad that the mods will ban the victim, rather than doing their job and stopping the harassment.
Originally posted by dadudemonI have tried self-regulating — it went well until all of that Eon stuff, which although I dealt with it better than I would have in the past (just imagine...), I am in way too much of a manic and compulsive state now. Drinking a lot more, smoking constantly, always jittery and shaking / fidgeting. Compulsion just takes over.

I asked BF to ban me for two months. By then lockdown will be over and my therapy will have started again.

Okay, homie. I'll support your decision, then.
Please don't mistake the next words as emotional manipulation to trick you into staying: those are my genuine parting words to you and I don't want to trap you to stay in a place that is toxic for you.
Love you.
I'll miss you a lot. I'm a hugger. If you were near, I'd hug you.
So take this, instead:
hug

the internet is not the real world. the sooner you realize this, the better off you'll be.

didnt you rant about people making presumptions about your personal life/mental state before? dont expect something to be given that you dont give yourself. 😉

They should ban the people harassing you for two months.
