Meh.

Meh. Today wasn’t a very good day. Low activity on this blog today and I got absolutely nothing done. I started to read but only got through about 2 pages and then fell asleep. Then I just slept most of the day and didn’t even go outside even though it was beautiful and sunny out. Now I have too many things to do tomorrow. Then back to work on Monday. Ugh.

I didn’t even post much on this blog today. Just one article, but I don’t think it’s one of my better ones.

I got called out by another blogger for an article I wrote in November where apparently I gave some misinformation about MPD (not NPD). I could have argued with this blogger (who suffers from that disorder) to keep it up by updating my outdated information (MPD is now called DID–Dissociative Identity Disorder in the most current DSM) and correcting the misinformation, but the blogger told me I also insulted all people with DID by saying their personalities were “fragmented” instead of calling them “alters.”

It seems like I’m inadvertently insulting a lot of people lately. What’s up with that? I hate insulting anyone.

In spite of pointing out my Disclaimer and explaining my blog focused on NPD and to a lesser extent on other mental disorders and conditions, this blogger snarkily questioned me about what made me qualified to even write about NPD since I didn’t suffer from the condition myself? (I guess my Disclaimer wasn’t enough). So I just deleted the whole thing. Like the one I wrote today, that one wasn’t one of my best articles anyway. (I checked and this is a legitimate blogger, not a particular other person whose recent anger at me might cause them to want to troll my site or sneak attack, even though they apologized. I’m always so damned hypervigilant).

I’m inexplicably depressed. When I’m depressed I just lie around doing nothing at all. And sleep a lot. And there’s no food in the house because I’m too lazy to go out and get any. I wonder if there’s a can of soup or some eggs or something.

I did get my W2 today though, but every year I worry that I won’t get a refund or have to owe, even though that’s patently ridiculous since I make next to nothing.

  2. ah don’t let some butt muncher with a grammar nazi or semantics fetish stop you from blogging and writing your articles, terms for various mental disorders and other issues seem to change almost daily, it’s hard to keep up , it can be frustrating to say the least. you write exceptionally well and your articles and subjects are extremely informative, if a simple word offends anyone, they should grow a pair of balls and just suck it up buttercup and get over their self righteous selves! Don’t stop doing what you do or start deleting posts because someone’s feelings got hurt, if they don’t like it they don’t have to read it.

    • Good point. If I thought the article was good I probably would have kept it up anyway, but I just hate confrontation and having to deal with trolls so it was just easier to delete it. I didnt care that much honestly.

      Don’t worry, I’m no going to let that one malcontent ruin the blogging experience for me or keep me from posting what I want to post. But he/she had a point–I really am not up to date on certain mental disorders like DID (as fascinating as that disorder is).

      Thank you for your continued support. 🙂

  4. My stats are dismal too and it makes as much sense as over 600 views earlier this week. Not everyone will understand us, not everyone will like us but I understand how disheartening being attacked can be. I like to think that the person had a fight with the boss (wife, husband etc) and was taking it out on me. After all how could anyone be mad at anyone as charming and humorous as I am. It will be better some days are just like this. Plus January isn’t the most cheerful month of the year. Do something for yourself. Buy a wonderful bubble bath and some good wine or chocolate and spoil yourself. You deserve it.

  7. Bloggers are not the authority or ever claimed to be. The fact we go on about it is because we do know stuff about it as we do have internal knowledge of it from our life. I hate it when I have to watch everything I say or someone will attack me. I think ACON’s need to be expressive and let it all out. Its part of recovery. Do what you want.
    Sorry to hear you are depressed. Please don’t worry about what others say or about your stats much. It’s quality that counts and that don’t always give us the numbers. But I see the same commenters on here time after time so that counts more. JMO

    • I know I shouldn’t get too bent out of shape about the trolls and complainers. This blog has been a godsend to me and has helped me so much. I am sure as hell not going to let some dumb troll ruin it for me.

  8. I know what you mean about stats. I thought I didn’t care about such things, but I end up checking them frequently and feel disappointed if I don’t see a change. If I’m having a bad day the low stats really get to me. I like the above ideas about a bubble bath and yummy chocolate! You should totally do it!

  10. Hope you feel better today. What a great help you are to someone like me, rebuilding their life after a MN dismantled it. Real help is what I get here, that changes my life and my sons life for the better, I know stats have their place, but I wish I could communicate to you the impact this blog has, the quality of your posts…
    I have to say thank you, I have learned much and have much more to learn yet. thanks!!!!

    • This means so much to me. Thank you. I feel like all I do sometimes is complain about everything, but I guess a lot of people who have been victims of abuse can relate–and then see how I’m working it all out on “paper.” And it is working.

  11. There will always be someone that you just can’t please. Ignore them its their loss. If you spend time and effort writing a post and someone doesn’t like it, delete them not it! I would guess one of your lost followers was this person anyway so be grateful they removed themselves instead of continuing to attempt to have a certain level of control over what you say. You have never pretended to be an authority on the subject so blow em a raspberry and keep typing 😉
