I lost it last night

I was on the Newshounds forum last night, reading a thread about a comedienne who said that Bush is evil, etc. All was fine until a troll posted, saying that the woman deserved to be 'gang raped by a group of raving republicans'. Normally, I do my best to ignore what trolls write, but that got me. I was crying while i responded to the post. I wrote "Normally, I ignore trolls, but as a gang rape survivor, I find this trolls remarks to be extremely uncalled for. They show a contempt for human life, and should be grounds for banning."

In true troll fashion, it attacks me, calling me a whining liberal who is playing the 'victim card'. I don't feel that I was 'whining'. If I wanted to 'play the victim card', I would have writen about the suicide attempts that followed, the hospitilization, and the medications and therapy I'm using to get on with my life.

I said fuck it, took a Klonopin to fight off the panic attack, and went to bed.

And I didn't wake up screaming at three o'clock in the morning, amazingly enough.
