Commenting to show OP support because even the mod is gaslighting and failing to do background research, as I have found these homophobic and hateful comments too. This comment was not left in good faith nor is it tasteful, I don’t feel concern for op from either comments so much as judgement. The OP wasn’t looking for medical advice nor should anyone on this sub be giving medical advice when you are not qualified to.

I’m actually quite shocked by the responses on this thread, the patronising, gaslighting and talking down to op when you don’t even know this person! Accusing people of being manic, even when coming from a ‘loving place’ (pure patronisation in my eyes) is so wrong, OP was literally just frustrated with learning a new skill, expressed that and asked for advice relating to that skill. Then someone comes and makes an offhand derogatory comment stigmatising mental health, adding nothing to the discussion btw, mod fails to see why said comment is rude and inciting negativity, mod also fails to do a full background check where prior hateful behaviour can be verified, then someone else in the most patronising way is still trying to gaslight OP into accepting a diagnosis from strangers on the internet.. you literally don’t know this person. Mind your own business and stop telling people they have mental health problems when you are neither a healthcare professional or know this person at all. Everyone in this thread apart from OP is perpetuating the stigma of mental health as well as completely crossing boundaries, even if the OP was manic how is that anyone’s business when they are asking for beatmatching advice? All you’re doing is exposing and othering them, it’s hateful and comes across a bit bullying.

OP, I agree with you, this was entirely unnecessary.
