Tryin to take a short break but I need this off my chest.
Everyone has their own perspectives, everybody makes mistakes, and I am a person who will always try to do right when I’ve wronged someone.
But I’ve been hurt by the ESO-RP community more than once in 9 months.

I don’t want to go into details here(dm if interested) but I’ve been driven to self harm, panic attacks and suicidal ideation at least twice. RPers are real people and you make real friends! But people may not see how their actions affect others (myself included). Please be kind.
Nobody should have to risk literally dying because someone online was being mean, IC OR OOC. You hear about it all over the news when a kid commits suicide from online bullying. There should be a clear distinction between IC and OOC, and please... just listen to people.
I’m not proud of how I’ve regressed in depression this year at all. I joined ESO last year to get back into the RP scene and had mostly great interactions with amazing people, but those two or three situations can make anybody crack when there’s no screen between them.
PTSD and Major Depression are not situations that can just be ignored or covered up because they will come back in full force when you don’t expect it.
TLDR; play nice, listen, be good people. You don’t know what the other side of the screen holds. #esofam

P.s. I don’t wanna say the community sucks or anything at all! I’ve made some really amazing friends who love and support me (and me back). I just really really needed to not be silent for a minute about my own struggles and personal experiences.
