11. I understand how you feel.

I feel the same way.

The "unstable" ones, IMO, are the ones who are coming up with these knee jerk reactions claiming "the mentally ill" (I still hate that broad brush phrase) are the only ones who could ever do such a thing. Those posters are being ridiculous. THEY are the ones with the problems right now. People might call us unstable, but we are being reasonable as opposed to the supposedly not mentally ill people, who are being reactionary and posting their completely misinformed opinions as fact, then refusing to face the facts when those facts are researched and placed right in front of their noses. They have placed themselves firmly in a fairy tale world that does not exist and will not stop mass shootings.

In the meantime, a little time off from DU might actually be a good idea, but my Ignore List has grown substantially since this happened. Anyone who is being extreme in their views after this, to me, is not trustworthy enough to converse with in the future. We might be "the mentally ill" but we are the sanest ones on DU right now. That much is for sure.
