Ok! Can we refer to you as both? Or do you just want us to call you Aislynnlynx? (also, can I give you the nickname Aislynn?)

Um also, I really do not want to sound rude but I would just like to point out that it can be hurtful to some people to use "psychotic" as a word for "crazy", because it actually means "someone affected with psychosis"! Which is a medical condition.

Anyways thank you for making a thread to tell us instead of just randomly changing it haha. 

i dont think its very nice how most people are just commenting only about the "psychosis" thing. one comment is quite enough, okay? bc words hurt and as an irl friend of lynx, who is the best friend youll ever get, theyre going through quite a lot. ive gotten perms to post this, so here you go: 

- lynx is diagnosed with adhd and bipolar (that is what you call it, right? idk.) 

- theyre stressing over middle school rn. as in, calling every night and panicking abt what theyre gonna do. 

- their parents are literally stressing them out,

- they cried for more than 2 hours on a call with me. 

so please stop commenting on lynx's post, unless you're actually acknowledging that youve seen it/whatever. 

think about it. lynx is a human. lynx doesnt do well with criticism. she tries to hide it until she cant and it all comes bursting out.  

i do like how pinkaxolotl actually commented on th3mysticw0lf/aislynnlynx's name change. 

sorry you had to deal with this, lynx. <3 love ya (platonically, ofc.)

Ooooh! Cool name! It's so awesome! Thanks for letting us know, aislynnlynx!

I love your new name, and I'm really sorry you're going through everything you are, Lynx. (Aaaand here's where I decided to go anon) And I relate to so much of this. I don't know exactly what's going on for you, but if you are willing and able to post about anything, I will listen and see if I have any advice or such. You have all rights to be ranty. I'm really sorry.  

As for your parents: You definitely want to tell, say, a counseler or someone if they're stressing you out. I don't know the extent or anything, but if your parents are doing anything that's stressing you, that's definitely important. Here I'm cautious; again, I don't have any information, so I don't really know. And I know that telling anyone about anything like that is, well, excruciatingly difficult. But it's definitely important.

I can't say anything about bipolar disorder, but ADHD can be hard :/

And if nothing else, I want to say that it's okay to feel bad. Not pleasant - not at all. But you don't have to be happy all the time.

I want to say that I look up to you. That I love your spirit, and how real you are. That you're a really cool person. 

And I want to say that you should try to get help. For all of this. Your school might have a counseler; that might be helpful? Or, as you've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ADHD, telling whoever diagnosed you could work. 

And again, if you need to talk, you can rant here. I'll listen :)

(Probably going to find a bunch of things I want to add and change later, but I think I'll post this)

Hey! Nice new name, I like it a lot.

I don't want to make the situation here worse and/or bring it back up, but I want to make something clear.

To Lynx: I'm extremely sorry that it felt like people were ganging up on you. I know how stressful that is; how it feels kind of like falling (at least in my experience) and the person you thought would catch you just... isn't there. I'm also really sorry about the stuff you're going through. I know it's really hard right now, and I really hope things get better for you.

I do want you to know that people weren't intending to make you feel like you were being ganged up on. I think that Ax, Kitten, and Bakerloo were trying to respectfully point something out but since they all did it, it turned into a bit too much. I know this doesn't change much in the way of how the words made you feel (which is very valid, if you didn't already know), but they weren't said to hurt you.

I think that being called out can hurt, but in the end we're better people for it. If, in the past, I hadn't been called out on unintentionally saying racist and homophobic things, I might still be doing that. I still find myself assuming people's genders and pronouns and thinking/saying/doing heteronormative things sometimes, and I'm working on not doing that and being aware, but if I'd never been called out on it in the first place, I would still be doing and saying hurtful things by accident.

So I guess long story short, I'm really sorry that Ax, Kitten, and Bakerloo's words hurt you, but they were not intending to, and while it's hard to call out someone without hurting or embarrassing them at least a little bit, I do think it's possible to do it respectfully and minimize the hurt/embarrassment, and that's what they tried to do.

To anonymous: thank you for standing up for Lynx and making a few things clear about Lynx's life outside the CB. You're an awesome friend <3

To Ax, Kitten, and Bakerloo: thank you for pointing this out. I actually wouldn't have known that if you hadn't said anything. Thank you for being respectful, as well.

I really hope this doesn't come across as me being annoyingly precocious/having an annoyingly large ego/incites more drama. Admins, if you feel that any part of this isn't necessary (I am the first to admit that I share my opinion sometimes when no one wants to hear it) and/or would escalate things further, PLEASE. Do not post it/parts of it. thank you :)
