When I first arrives here I did not know Richard and responses to some of his posts triggered me massively and put a huge chip on my shoulder which I directed here and elsewhere those who I saw to be discriminating against Richard and mental health as a whole. Almost to the point of getting banned.
I am not pointing any fingers here just saying it how I saw it and see it and I almost triggered today due to my anxiety and my feelings on the subject. Imagine how that will look to others who may be browsing or looking to join? they come and see posts like this see like I did posts that could be taken as discrimination how will they feel?
Also look at the subject and what the government are looking to do. Imagine for one minute this site gets reported and no matter how innocent the intent is misconstrued (which is very easy in text) and some sort of action is taken.
I am not asking for miracles all I am asking is if Richard (or me) winds you up understand it could be because of his (or mine) mental health. I have come a long way (imo) since I joined and I bite my tongue as it were which is very hard as part of my condition is I tend to go off on one. If I can do it so can you

Oh yes, I have issues of my own too after a brain injury. After losing most of my sight on top I am now spending my second night in care.
Ii always try to be kind and understanding of others and their own personal issues. I believed that this was the decent way to treat others even before my diagnoses.
You're so right, communicating via text can certainly make interaction more problematic to understand correctly, without the additional burden of having to deal with cognitive issues on top.
I acknowledge that I can certainly get hold of the wrong end of the stick too. The best we can do is be kind and supportive of each other as there are so many people who don't understand (by fault or design) the difficulties that we face,
