Mental Health Awareness

@Mestiv, how is your signature stalking me? I'm worried.

@Firebug, awesome dragons. Humans are useless, except for when killing important dragons. Dragons kill each other.

Moonbli. And Cleril.

Read them.

Basically, whenever your computer wants to retrieve an image, it gets the info from the server the image is stored on. Mestiv's sig is stored on his personal server, but it's not just a collection of pixels: it's got variables in it, too. When your computer contacts his server to get the image, his server reads the data you contacted his server with, generates the image, and sends it, then deletes the data. His signature shows up different to everyone because everyone contacts his server with different data.

He's got a thread for it somewhere. It's called "Mestiv's Signature" IIRC

Learn how to code, buy yourself a VPS or fine some other place to host your sig, write the code for your sig and add it to your signature

 

If you want the part that tells what I listened to, make a last.fm account and connect it with your music player. I'll tell you how to use it then.

So, I’ve already got the green. 

I don’t know if I have any mental disorders. I feel like I might have depression, but I haven’t been clinically diagnosed. I was suicidal in the past, but I’m past that now (mainly because the idea of not existing terrifies me, so killing musket is a no-go). I once tried to explain to my dad what it kind of feels like, but he just wouldn’t believe that I could possibly have it. I would try to go to my mom about it, but she’d make it about me being controlled by Satan or something like that. 

I feel like I could possibly have some form of autism as well because I once read through the symptoms and about 1 in 3 of them matched me. 

Even if I don’t have any mental illnesses, I know people who do, and I’m willing to support this.

Today was the last day of May. But that doesn't mean thus thread should die, or that we should stop raising awareness for this cause. I will be changing my profile picture, but will keep it green. I want to encourage people to keep sharing their stories. Even though I personally have been doing... not well, lately, I do want to keep this strong. 

I am going to be buying a shirt that says, May is mental health awareness month. But to me, it is also Jan, Feb, March, April, June, July, Aug, Sep, Nov, and Dec.

I wish everyone the best of luck.

I will still be showing support, and fully encourage keeping this thread strong. However, I am going to change my profile picture and I don't know if it'll have any green on it.

I'm sure any number of people on this thread would be open to making it green for you. Just so you know.

I want to get a second opinion on this since I'm not the best at identifying mental disorders on other people.

One of my bosses is one of those who will be sweet as pie to you one minute and then pounce on you like a tiger, or Joan Crawford in Mommy Dearest, the next. My mom thinks she might have bipolar disorder and when looking it up a few symptoms seemed to match up (not fully thinking out consequences, not being able to sleep since we get emails from her at 3am a lot) but I'd rather not make the judgment call on this since I don't know if it's her being bipolar or having a power trip.

Just PM me a copy of your new PFP and I can make it green if you want.

I don’t know if you guys saw what Brandon shared on Twitter, but it was an article some of his beta reader wrote about mental health and the characters in Stormlight.  I really enjoyed the article and I wanted to make sure everyone could read it.

I saw that in the Tor newsletter, and instantly started reading it. I'm at the part about Dalinar. And I loved the part about Lift. I can relate. Very much so.

@Tesh, I'm just now seeing this post, and I want to thank you. Most people don't realize how many people struggle with mental issues, and this thread helps bring awareness to that (basically, good job, this thread is working) Also, Tesh, I struggle with some of the depression issues you're talking about. Feeling like you don't fit in, anxiety, all of that. I've found that having someone you can pour your emotions and problems out to help. And, just so you know, I think that you're a great person. Tesh, just know you are loved. You are accepted.(this goes for all the other people who struggle with depression and other mental disorders.)
