Sorry But I Have Hit Tilt

[shy_magpie]

Edited to add: I am 80% back to normal. You all have been so wonderful, and I even got some help from one of the critics and an apology from another. I will leave this public in case someone comes here wondering why I am spamming everyone talking about my old reblog method but not directly addressing people in comments.

I think I mentioned I have ADHD and depression in my intro post, both of these mean I need to beware of reacting with disproportionate emotion to normal interactions, especially criticism. An idea I had posted and clearly marked as "testing an idea" got more attention than I expected. A lot of people were really sweet to me and some suggested it to others. I am being vague here because I do not want them to feel blamed for my emotional tenderness. As the idea took off some valid points were raised. I accordingly have written a new version of the post that originated the discussion and linked to it everywhere I could find the idea posted.

I am however having a real hard time dealing with the tone used and not taking it as a personal attack especially as they knew I am very new to DW and have no way of being up to date on all the norms. I am not going to be leaving for Pillowfort, or taking my ball and going home; but I will also not be responding to any comment regarding "reblogs", "blockquotes", "HTML", or whether former tumblr users should be on dreamwidth until I can do so calmly.

I want to be clear that I do not blame anyone, especially those who were just trying to say they liked something I said, for my emotional reaction. I am working on taming my brain weasels but part of that is knowing when I need to back away before I respond. I am sorry if I failed in that and replied harshly to anyone who tried to help me before I spread a bad idea all over dreamwidth.
