Bless this thread. Your stories are amazing. Shine on, crazy anime-loving diamonds. I do have a serious question though: how does it feel for all of you to write about things that affected you so strongly? I understand for some of you, quite a long time has elapsed between now and then, but for others it's fairly recent. Asking because I've got my own story to share--it'd be good for the thread and it's pretty ridiculous--but I can't quite seem to get it written out. It's been several years since my story took place, but apparently it's still able to bother me. I guess what I'm asking is, has writing this stuff been cathartic for any of you? Did you start out feeling bad about it, but let go as you finished? I want to uphold  and I'd love to put some closure on it, but I didn't expect writing my weirdo saga to be so uncomfortable

I wrote a couple of stories in this thread, but the one that affected me closely that I posted a few pages back was very difficult to write about. I felt very weird and crappy for a couple of days afterwards. I think it's different if the person is just someone who is part of a friend group that you're only involved with sometimes but when you have to live with a person or they're a best friend, it's a hard experience to deal with.

Well it certainly wasn't easy, because I found the things that happened to me and my own actions pretty humiliating. But I'm glad I did since this thread got me to leave the situation. For which I really am grateful <3 Yes, it might be embarrassing and uncomfortable. But in the end, talking about it might be the catharsis you need to really let it go.

It doesn't make a good story for this thread because the "downhill" happened fast, I didn't see her much at all during that period and nothing very funny happened. We went from drinking and laughing at a lot of junk online like woowoo people to her deciding first that she had a brain tumor because she was having headaches a lot, but wouldn't go to the doctor because they'd just tell her she was going to die, then self-diagnosing with bipolar despite being the least manic person ever, to deciding she was actually a shaman who spoke with Animal Totems (capitalised) and heard the song of the earth. Because she knew I was a skeptic and I'd not said anything about her new spiritual journey she just one day decided she didn't like me anymore, had actually hated me for the past year and a half, was never seeing me again and was keeping all the stuff she had on loan from me.  I didn't take it too bad at the time considering we were really close, but I guess it hosed me up in terms of trusting people or making friends since then. So yeah, the crazy has a lasting effect. Hopefully your crazyperson will realise they're being dumb and snap out of it after a bit. :/

Also young/immature people often make the mistake of 'friends forever' and are less responsive to symptoms of severe problems, thinking 'they'll snap out of it' is a thing that happens often. It doesn't.

My friend, Jose, was a basket case for a year or two in his early 20's. I had known the guy since 1st grade, and he was always eccentric, but usually in a likable way. He had a huge, gnarly white boy afro, dressed like a homeless skater kid, and just said whatever was on his mind. Since he is a funny, clever guy, he managed to become one of the popular weirdos in high school. Sometimes I would have to tell him "Jose, what the gently caress, man?", and after that he would usually apologize and calm down. Then he started messing with hallucinogens. It became a serious hobby. And he wasn't just after your father's shrooms and LSD. He was getting into serious ethnogenic poo poo that made your mind argue with itself while your consciousness just watched, stuff that gave visions where you saw your mother rotting in the ground. This was extra stress on a foundation that was not up to standards to begin with. He became obsessed with the band The Mars Volta. He went and saw them live, and the singer threw his mic stand into the audience. Jose was nearby where it landed, and he was seriously convinced that the singer was trying to kill him. Jose's theory was that he was somehow responsible for the death of The Mars Volta's former sound manipulator, who overdosed on something in a hotel room, and the singer was trying to get revenge. Later, he believed that others were hearing his thoughts. I thought he was joking, and I told him to shut up. Looking back on it, I should have seen it as a serious warning sign, but I was experimenting with drugs myself, and I thought he would snap out of it anyway. Then he hitchhiked to California for seven months, where he got coerced into helping a drug dealer and ended up being homeless. When he limped back home, the DEA raided his parents' house for his association with the drug dealer. Luckily, the charges were dropped. Right now, he's rebuilding his life. He saw a psychiatrist and she convinced him that it is impossible for others to hear your thoughts. He's been clean for over a year, he's ditched his drug dealing friends, and spends his weekends at a Buddhist monastery. He's going to move into an artists' collective and become a music therapist. Namaste, Jose.

Since it came up on the last page, I want to put my two cents in about Disney Stalkers: It's not just Peter Pan. Any face character has stalkers, but the guys have it worse. I'm an employee in the parks, and over the course of working there I heard stories like those and then, started experiencing them for myself. The one I see most often in my location is the Mad T Party band stalkers. Mad T Party is an event started about two years ago, sort of a Disney-approved rave atmosphere based on Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland. That right there should give you an idea of the sort of crowd it attracts. Before Mad T was ElecTRONica, based off Tron, which also had its stalkers. When Mad T first opened I had them coming up to me all the time going "I can't believe they got rid of ElecTRONica. It was so much better than this" and wearing shirts saying "BRING BACK TRON" .....no less than a week later, they're all wearing Mad Hatter top hats instead and singing along with the band. The band themselves are harmless enough, they kind of suck in my opinion, but i'm sure it's just an easy paycheck for them. Come in, sing a few cover songs and jump around a stage, go home. I know at least one of them does 'real' music as a side gig. The thing that confused me is, they're just normal people who sing and play instruments. They're not celebrities. They wear tons of makeup and a costume and a Disney-instructed persona and are basically actors. Half of them are middle-aged and kinda beat looking, but I guess you can't see that from the stage. These girls would come EVERY single night they performed (during peak season, that's every day) and wait by the empty stage for hours. After, they would wait at the stage exit in hopes of a high-five or a hug from one of the performers as they walked backstage. They would chase after them screaming. They filled tumblr with shipping bullshit, plus of course, the performers as ponies. And then it got weird. I guess one of them found out where the performers parked their car at night, and waited outside the Disneyland gates and then tried to "walk them to their cars" as I heard. Not sure how that was resolved. Another case is when my co-worker was working the event and forgot what time he started, so he called up scheduling. They straight-up told him "we can't disclose the schedules of anyone who works Mad T unless you can prove your identity because there's been an issue with other cast members trying to find out who is working the event at certain times". Basically what that meant is - other cast members (a good number of the characters stalkers are, in fact, park employees) were calling up scheduling, pretending to be someone else, in order to find their schedule and go stalk them. Not even just performers. Anyone who works the event. It's gotten really out of hand. I think the thing that makes it appropriate for this thread is that not one of these 'fans' seem to be able to process in their head the difference between a character and a person - for a four-year-old, this is what Disney aspires to, that the kids will believe that the characters they see are really THE character. For a teenager/grown adult to do the same thing, is unimaginably creepy. (sorry if that was a lot of  for a boring story)

She just does some pretty irritating/weird stuff and it's kind of nice to just vent to the internet. In the end sometimes it's nice to just get it off your chest. tallest crocodile posted:
Not boring and very insightful and interesting. Have any other tales or have you been lucky in not running into many? It's terrifying the way fans can take hold of ANYTHING and twist fandom of any kind. I really feel for any face character because there is always weirdos out there that can make their life hell. Sometimes trading off being a nobody to being even marginally known isn't worth having to look over your shoulder and wonder if there is some creeper stalking your every move because they think you visit them nightly on the astal plane.

You Just don’t understand!/Cinderella’s dating tips: Just Faint! It goes without saying that Cinderella’s torrid love affair left many moments for me to groan about. This got worse when she suggested to Dick that he get a job at the Casino and lo and behold he did. That’s when things began to spiral into insanity. Nothing good comes out of working with your significant other when you are crazy as this girl. Well on the bright side at least I get to see what this guy looks like since apparently he’s so hot. (He wasn’t) Dick starts as a janitor and Cinderella is pleased. She gets to constantly see him and tell me how good his rear end looked in his work pants (they didn't) and I got to stare at him and see nothing but a sleazy, greasy haired, frumpy rear end, unattractive oaf, but if he makes her happy so be it. After his employment at the casino I start to see that Cinderella's becoming eerily obsessed with this guy to the point she became painfully clingy and all around possessed with knowing his whereabouts 24/7. She'd stalk his facebook, she'd stalk him, she'd always ask coworkers if we’d seen him at work, or she'd send him 20 texts asking him where he was because his shift starts in 2 hours and why wasn't he there yet. She was ridiculously bad about constantly checking her phone while in the cage - a place you not even supposed to have your phone - and freaking out when he didn’t text her back IMMEDIATELY. Clearly this meant he was cheating, ignoring her or dead in a ditch. Take your pick. Myself and girl-who-was-married-to-a-cheating-douchebag, who had since gotten over Cinderella's previous insensitivity to her very much real life drama of a cheating husband, tried to gently tell her that she was being waaaay too clingy and that if she wanted the relationship to last she needed to cool her jets and stick to one or two texts vs. her multiple texts in a row and give him some room and not freak out so easily. Having once been that clingy girl toward a guy I knew this lesson all too well and really wanted her to understand that you can’t do that poo poo and expect it to work out. I got over it other girls have gotten over it and she can get over it if you actively try to break the habit. Her response?  You don’t understand guys you just don’t understand my situation and it’s not that simple! (this was her favorite saying by the way)…ok. Whatever you say crazy girl. You keep on a clinging to that guy like snot on a rock and see what happens. So life goes on I get used to Cinderella freaking out about Dick not responding to her texts or how he’s ignoring her but then it happened. DRAMA. Cinderella comes into work almost in tears one night and me being her appointed friend I am there to console her and be there for her. Now I can’t remember what the exact issue was because it's been well over a year since this stuff all happened and my memory is for poo poo but I’ll use something comparable to what was really wrong. Oh Queen! It’s so horrible me and Dick fought today. I’m so sorry Cinderella! What happened? Well we went to the mall to buy me a Disney shirt when it happened… He told me his favorite color was brown! Oh that’s so horri- Wait…what? I KNOW! Brown is such a horrible color and I told him his favorite color should be magenta because it’s such a pretty color! Wait, you’re really fighting about this? But he got so mad at me and stomped off and when I tried to talk to him about it he wouldn’t hear any of it. Hold it, you SERIOUSLY are fighting over this? I knew you’d be on my side Queen.Ok so the fight wasn’t about colors but the real ordeal was on the same level of not worthy of fighting and crying about and was really just as stupid. It was dumb and easily handled but Cinderella was acting as if the world was coming to an end and I was unable to console her otherwise. And these stupid little fights-that-shouldn’t-even-be-a-fights kept on happening and she just couldn’t handle them. Mainly due to the fact that she didn’t want to face anything –be it little or big - and would just cry instead. So naturally with her crazy obsessiveness coupled with stupid fights their relationship ended up getting kinda rocky but it’s alright Cinderella had a plan for that. You see she had a sure fire way of keeping this boy in her life and it was fainting! Fake fainting that is!  Dick gets angry at her for spending all their money on Disney merchandise? She’d faint! Dick seems a little more distant today than what she’d like? She’d faint! Dick didn’t do anything to warrant anything? Hell, she’d faint anyway! Dick wouldn’t talk to her because she did something dumb? She’d faint! She’s driving down the road with Dick in her car and he’d try and talk about serious poo poo that needed to be said? She’d faint and nearly kill them both!(this really happened) You get the picture. Not only would she do this crap but she’d proceed to tell me and the midnight supervisor and girl-who-was-married-to-a-cheating-douchebag all about her many fake fainting escapades to win back the love of her prince. I was really too shocked by her idiocy to tell her to stop this destructive behavior but girl-who-was-married-to-a-cheating-douchebag wasn’t the type to hold back anything and told her up front to stop that stupid poo poo. As expected Cinderella just teared up and whined about her prince and how she adored him and would do anything to keep him with her forever and completely ignored the fact she was called out on her poo poo and ignored the advice. Because, y’know, we just… didn’t… understand.

I can see her go through the stages of not getting what she wants: Step 1: Whine in high pitch tone, potentially ending in near tears Step 2: Claim medical disability from shortness and/or no one could possible understand what she is going through Step 3 s (Fake) Faint. Claim no understanding of what just happened and how she got on the floor. Again.

drat I should have picked Sleeping Beauty that would have fit her so well! Alas Cinderella will have to do. I actually gave Cinderella the benefit of the doubt when she started her fainting spells because I'm not a total shrew who thinks there's no such thing as anyone fainting. I do hope I didn't give that impression if I did I'm sorry.  It was the fact that she TOLD multiple people on our shift how she was faking it to get attention from Dick that pretty much blew my original mindset out of the water and kept me from taking anything she said/did at face value. Also she was a really bad actor. When she "fainted" it was more like she was having a (really bad) orgasm while never actually falling to the ground. Not once did she hit the ground, I'm assuming she hadn't "perfected" that part of the act and nixed it. Probably for the best because she probably would have writhed on the ground while continuing to

Cause if she was standing and was all like "oooh, I feel faint" and then didn't fall or sit and just kept standing there then...well whatever, she's already proven to be crazy I guess. The one time I fainted I was lucky enough to be standing over a bunch of dirty laundry, so I didn't get hurt, but I was unlucky enough to be holding an opened cartoon of orange juice, which woke me up. Going from carrying OJ through the laundry room to "why am I sticky and on the floor?" with no in between sorta sucks. Also not sure if it was technically fainting as I banged my elbow on the doorway going in and I think I hit a nerve or something.

The one time I fainted in my life I was horrendously ill with a flu. I wanted to take a shower and stupidly ran it very hot. I stepped out and was over come with a wave of dizziness. I tripped on the shower, slammed into the counter sink, twisted, tripped and tangled my feet together and then flipped myself out into the hallway. I woke up naked and spread eagle, somehow not bleeding from my head. I then crawled my way back to bed and slept the rest of the day away. Sleeping-ella sounds like she has a desperate need for attention syndrome.

I faint every single time I get blood work done thanks to having a thing about needles, to the point they have to put me on this weird couch thing instead of a chair just to cut to the chase. You should "help" by getting some smelling salts and popping them under her nose every time she pulls that act. It's like getting punched back into consciousness... which is the closest you're going to get to punching her for real without getting fired. If she wants to act like a swooning, dainty lady, she should get the full experience. Anoia fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Dec 26, 2013 |

Of what I saw personally she was standing when she began to feel her fainting spell coming on. Can't say I ever saw her fall to the floor... though I did find her on the bathroom floor, clutching the toilet one night I was supervising. It was... well. I plan to elaborate on that situation a little later because it was just full of jackassery at my expense. I gotta get to the "selt insert into reality" before I get there. Excelsiortothemax posted:Sleeping-ella sounds like she has a desperate need for attention syndrome. Yes Yes and more Yes. Also the name Sleeping-ella had me cracking up. Anoia posted:You should "help" by getting some smelling salts and popping them under her nose every time she pulls that act. It's like getting punched back into consciousness... which is the closest you're going to get to punching her for real without getting fired. We actually discussed this at work one night after one of her orgasm/fainting episodes. A co-worker with some medical studies under his belt (he dropped out of his studies hence why he's with us at the casino) was going to get them but considering he is now engaged to Cinderella I don't think he plans to bring them in for our entertainment.  Since we're on the subject I think I've nearly fainted 4 times from what I assume is low blood sugar in the last few years at work. During my episodes it never lead to me knocking about and injuring myself so I count myself lucky. I tend to wind up hitting the floor pretty unceremoniously and getting just to the brink of blacking out and being unable to move my weak rear end for a while. The last time I did it I was lucky a slot attendant came to cash in his bank otherwise I wouldn't have been found for at least 40 minutes until I was relieved from my post. It very embarrassing. The poor kid wouldn't stop asking if I was ok for a week after.I guess I was lucky Cinderella was never around to see otherwise she might have tried to incorporate it into her act.

e:f;b but it's depressing poo poo like this that keeps me from telling more stories.Baronjutter posted:Ahaha god drat these stories are good but it always just makes me wonder why any of you kept talking or interacting with any of these people. I wouldn't so much blame the state of mental health care as the rise of Internet hug box communities that convince a person they're special, while doctors and other evil norms want to stifle their gift with drugs and make them a different, lesser person.  One of the people I talked about way back was actually committed as a teenager because "his [headmates]* weren't respecting his body". I later talked to his mom and what she described sounded like a full-on psychotic break: they found him banging his head against a wall and he wouldn't respond to anything they said or did, until they tried to forcibly stop him and he got violent. He never acknowledged any of this (someone else was in control, after all), and was very smug about his stay in the mental hospital. It was great watching TV and laying around all day, and when it came time to talk to the doctors he just lied his way to a clean bill of mental health. He believed himself to be more enlightened than any and all doctors, teachers, and bosses, so you can imagine how well he functioned even after getting released. So sometimes help is readily available, even forced upon people, but it means gently caress all if they're too wrapped up in thinking they're a powerful medium, as I'm the case of that guy, to even want help. *I don't remember his term for them, as this was years before it took off on Tumblr.

I cut ties shortly after I came out as a lesbian because, as luck might have it, that's when he declared he'd become permanently possessed by a woman. Thus the guy I considered a weird friend was gone, leaving a lesbian literally trapped in a man's body who really wanted to be with me... And was also very similar to my pal who had "left to wander the spirit plane." I was stupid back then, but not quite that stupid. And amusing as all that may sound, the resulting fallout from me severing wasn't pretty. He reacted so badly I legitimately feared for my safety for a while there. I have no idea where he, the walking ghost hotel, might be today, and I don't want to know.

Baronjutter posted:It also makes me sad at the state of mental health. These people should have all been in some sort of treatment way before the really good stories. Well, in the US, mental health services are pretty much treated as a luxury. Even the good insurance companies will only cover a small amount of mental health care, only enough for somebody with a one-time break, not the amount of care needed to treat somebody with a constant gulf from reality. And if you don't have insurance or it is insufficient, a simple one-hour talk therapy appointment is in the $400 range, let alone if somebody needs inpatient care, holy poo poo. teh winnar! fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Jan 1, 2014 |

Where do you live that therapy is $400/hour? In a fancy Park Avenue practice in Manhattan, it's $250/hour. Not that that's affordable for most people

I finally finished this thread after almost a year of off and on reading during my breaks and during my commute. It's such a rollercoaster of  ,  and to various degrees, and my heart goes out to everyone who's had a Denise in their lives. Sadly (though fortunately for me), I've had no such crazies in my life. The closest thing that I had was a guy who compulsively made up lies about things he'd done, but this was in high school and his home situation wasn't that great so it was pretty harmless. But this thread makes me so thankful that I had normal people around me growing up. Which of course means I had to be the crazy one, in hindsight.

This thread was so good that it inspired me to buy an account. I've read most of it; Denise is interesting but the Sai Baba girl story is wicked as well. Is it okay to still contribute to it? I have some stuff I could share. I used to hang out with this ultra-conservative lesbian spanking cult/religion/roleplaying game thing online, and a lot of interesting stuff happened with them. Would anyone be interested in hearing that? It's a little more sedate than either Denise or Sai Baba girl, and it breaks the format of talking about just one crazy person (there were twenty or thirty of them) but it has a certain level of crazy to it. If anyone's interested, should I start a new thread, or post it here?
