you don't have to cope alone

The Support Group Meme


Per Wikipedia:

In a support group, members provide each other with various types of help, usually nonprofessional and nonmaterial, for a particular shared, usually burdensome, characteristic. The help may take the form of providing and evaluating relevant information, relating personal experiences, listening to and accepting others' experiences, providing sympathetic understanding and establishing social networks. A support group may also work to inform the public or engage in advocacy.

And now you know. And knowing's half the battle.

• Post with a character.


• Unlike most memes, you'd probably be better off by providing a general theme for people to respond to. You know, have your subject or post read "People who got turned into animals in their respective games" or "Time travelers and keeping the space/time continuum intact."


• Respond to other people and support them through their trials and tribulations.


• NOTE: While you're welcome to post whatever the hell you want, if you delve into triggery whatnot (i.e. abuse, suicide, things which tend to actually evoke real life support groups and therapy) please label your posts with a nice and blatant warning so someone who was looking for Time Travelers Anonymous doesn't accidentally stumble into your suicide thread instead.

Trapped in an alternate universe for far too long

Like Narnia. Nobody else knows it's there, but it is.

[softreboot]

Well... more like I was stuck looping through a couple hundred alternate universes for way too long...

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Could be in the literal family sense - could be in the government sense.]

[havenomercy]

Going from the watched to the watcher is a hell of a thing.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Is it? I wouldn't know.

[His tone might indicate just how disgruntled he is by that.]

[havenomercy]

Someone has to keep things in line.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

You said, you were watched and now you're the watcher. How did that happen?

[havenomercy]

I took my power back.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[He chuckles wryly.]

The Government always holds all the cards. It's like a casino - it will let you win to a point, but in the end, it will trump everything.

[havenomercy]

The government? Those fools?

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Indeed. As an organisation, it leaves something to be desired. But there are usually very cleaver people within it.

[havenomercy]

Certain individuals? Sure. But I'd bet on me against them anytime.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Oh? And what makes you so special?

[havenomercy]

I'm working on a much more universal scale.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[That gets his attention, besides talking about others is much better than talking about himself.]

"Universal". Not global. So do you somehow mean that literally?

[The things he's encountered the past couple of weeks, it's not entirely out of the question any longer.]

[havenomercy]

Well, the Earth is in the universe, so. Yes, I mean it literally.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Point.

[Though he still wonders. Because global would have been more accentuate if she had meant just the Earth.]

So you had your power taken, you took it back, and you're special because you work on a gross scale.

[havenomercy]

See? You were paying attention. Good boy.

Making Amends for Unforgivable Actions

[ridofthethrone]

[Or trying to, at least.]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Were you the one who performed the unforgivable action, or are you the one who needs to do the forgiving?

Re: Making Amends for Unforgivable Actions

[thesunreturns]

How are the amends going?

[ridofthethrone]

They aren't. Or it feels like they aren't. It's difficult to tell.
