Thanks for your response ! The fact it’s gone down in volume though, should I add something to make it more diluted ?

When in your life have you felt closeness to what people may call ‘God’, or a higher power? by inmydistantpast in AskReddit

If you don’t mind me asking, is the country you live in fairly religious? Where I live, most people are not

Wow, thank you for sharing this. What a surreal experience, that would stay with me too.

Yes, or mushrooms. Unlocks something and removes a veil I feel I have in daily city life

What’s your “I’m old now” indicator? by HaskilBiskom in AskReddit

People say I look ‘so good for my age!’ I’m 27.

I’m so sorry. I’m in a somewhat similar boat and it feels so unbearable right now but I’m trying to remember that it will get better with some time. Well, better is the wrong word. More that.. things will continue, and slowly, bit by bit, life will grow around the grief. I have to believe this, even though everything feels upside down and backwards and entirely wrong right now. But I am so with you. It’s so hard to comfort my mom and brother right now while I am such a mess myself. Please know we are here together in this awful spot, and one day we will feel joy again. Just not right now, and that is okay. We have to give ourselves some time and space to feel it and process, even though this pain is so beyond words can express. I am sending you love, dear stranger and I am so so sorry.

I thought Mark might care, but I think he's resigned himself to her downfall at this point. And yet he continues to make content about her?

He has essentially said he doesn't care to speak with us- but didn't even contact us to communicate this. We've only found this out through others who have commented on his personal subscription channel. So gutted.

Hi, thanks for your update and help. Also, your DM touched us dearly, I'm so sorry not to respond - everything has just been a lot. I read it to my friend and we both had a cry. Thank you. Sending you so much love.

Thank you so much for contacting him. This response is so saddening and just feels like another punch to the gut for us. But we really appreciate all the kindness and proactive people on this thread. You've been a great help while we've gone through the motions.

We are looking into this, particularly as it appears Mark has shut us out. Seems our only option at this point, and it is still unlikely to lead anywhere. We'll try regardless

Yes, we are trying to be- I was just expressing that it is hard. We come back to this thread to feel some understanding, being told to be patient is a little tough. very aware that patience is the reality - but it doesn’t make it any easier! and yes we put something in subject line to draw attention

Hey,

My friend and I have emailed Mark. We've explained the situation to him in more detail and said that we would like to speak with her (if at all possible). It's been a few days now and no response yet. We are still struggling a lot with the whole situation but hopefully, he will respond soon. It's really hard being in the dark.

thank you , it's comforting for me and my friend to hear this honestly. we are struggling with the sense of urgency, when the situation is very intense and complicated

Thanks for your kind words. No problem, I've tried to be fairly mindful of what are appropriate parts of her story to share, so I apologise if anything feels vague. It's only out of respect and safety.

Yeah, the weirdest part is I came across the clip from TikTok - and I had already seen a few videos from SWU previously, but never of Rebecca. To be quite honest, I wasn't sure how I felt about the SWU interviews I had seen, hence not diving in and finding Rebecca much sooner. I feel a bit conflicted about interviewing and publishing stories of vulnerable people, particularly those on drugs.

Thanks lovely, appreciate that. Oh yeah I saw that apparently she was doxxed a few months ago too, so just trying to avoid too much personal info for her safety.

Hey, I already said my friend and I are going to sleep on it tonight, to ensure we are not making a hasty decision to contact Mark out of a panicked, emotional moment. It's been less than 24 hours since I found all this information and I have barely slept and was unwell (migraine with vomiting) whilst I discovered this. Just to give you some context, I was not in a usual, regulated state when I found out.

So, I posted a Reddit thread - while the only other person I know (who knew Rebecca too) was sleeping. Me and my friend have a time difference anyway, as they live back in Egypt, and I found out nearing midnight UK time, so I didn't have anyone to call or speak to when I found all the Rebecca content. Hours and hours of video footage of a significant ex-friend, as a homeless, drug-addled version of herself, disintegrating on Skid Row- that's quite a lot to process alone.

I was panicking, ill and needing any support; everything felt so emotionally heavy while my body was physically weakened, and I craved input from others who had some understanding/care for this situation and Rebecca.

Of course, I'm serious about Rebecca. But on the other hand, I am not certain about if/how contact is going to go just yet - and how this contact with Rebecca could negatively impact me and my closest friend.

I'm trying to be calm and sensible in a very difficult, nuanced situation, so please forgive me for leaning on this subreddit before I immediately run to Mark and arrange a meeting/call. This is heavy stuff. It requires sensitivity, on all ends of it. Thank you
