Hey Usagi!
I get that creating alts is fun and all, but I think creating accounts named "anxiety" or "depression" comes off a tad insensitive, especially when the mental illnesses are misrepresented through these accounts or played off like a character, rather than an actual real and serious mental illness.
It's totally fine to create vent accounts or even alts when you feel like it, but please be aware of what you're doing with these accounts and what you're choosing to name them. I don't think it's right to create accounts based on mental illnesses so you can roleplay them either, (although I'm not sure if that's your intention.) And I'd strongly recommend you rethink your actions if that is the case. I'd even recommend creating a different alt. I should also let you know, that if you create an account after depression and use it to "threaten suicide" like you stated "she" - your caricature of depression does- the moderators will have to take action on that account.
If you're going through these things however, I'd strongly recommend you tell somebody you trust, so they can help you overcome your struggles and get the help you need. Or call a helpline. There's people out there who can help, and we're all here to support you through it too -
I didn't make Anxiety_ June_Roses did. But I do have anxiety and depression. And your right I don't roleplay with them. But take this seriously. I have 4 mental illnesses that I can't control.

I feel so hopeless.

I understand. I have mental illnesses too. They're controllable with medication and therapy. Its difficult, but they can improve and become more controllable. Mental illnesses are also different for everyone and something very complex, which is again, why it is so important to not misrepresent them through stereotypes or characters. Especially harmful ideas, like threatening suicide. Threatening suicide is an abusive tactic, not a symptom of depression. Anxiety does not = smoking. Things like that, you dig?
Also, It doesn't matter who created the account, it's the person behind the account who is using it in the end, and making all the posts after all. Which, if I'm not mistaken, is you. If I'm also remembering correcting, you asked them to create the account. So you are responsible for what you do in this account. I just want you to understand that these accounts may make people uncomfortable and may be risky to use, it's not something to be taken lightly -
Ok.
-
I could make you a better alt instead, if you still cant create one. And you pass me over the anxiety_ account, so I can take care of it for you, but not have it used for posting. Hows that sound? :)
