I'm very glad people want to read my story but I think this comment makes my point. It's at the top because I carefully wrote it and purposefully kept it short and digestible. The long details of my life experience are linked rather than written out. People opt in to read more.

From past experience, the long, rambling, barely coherent rants I start with aren't effective or well received. :)

Note: This comment was eight times longer and took about 8 minutes to reduce to what I have here. And I seriously considered deleting it because it doesn't add much to the conversation. Only 20% of the comments I write survive to be posted.

I can relate to that, I would say 50% of mine survive, I usually stop just before clicking the submit button. Anyways you have your reasons and I respect that.

And here I was thinking I must be the only person who deletes their comments instead of submitting them!

Thank you. I cannot tell you how relieved I am feeling right now.

Well... I think long rambling rants from people who have a diagnosed mental health condition are about as interesting as long, rambling rants from people who do not have a diagnosed mental health condition.

Well, most of the time.
