This sounds like the ramblings of someone lacking certain mental faculties. "I purposefully cut my leg open so badly I would have to go to the ER to get it stapled back together. " What? What?
You have the empathy of a pebble.
Great value add. Did you have any input or just here to assert your domineering intelligence? Back to reddit, maybe?
This sounds like the ramblings of someone lacking certain ["domineering intelligence"].
No, for real, I insulted you, because you did not show any motivation to understand how self-harm works and what Madison R. meant.
I'm sorry you feel that way, but we shouldn't jump on the bandwagon and entertain someone who didn't do the right thing. You're the kind of person who sides with the time blindness girl too, I bet. Then you run around accusing others of being insecure. ;)
I know that I do not know enough about self-harm, but I'm going to say that self-harm is super common (e.g. smoking), glorified, but its effects are at the same time shamed, which makes it difficult for people already facing difficult social situations (e.g. Madison R. at LMG). I don't condone self-harm. LMG's workplace toxicity didn't help.
Derailing is bad talking infrastructure, ADHD exists, TikTok sucks.
Please, for the love of everything good, do some reading on mental health. You're way off base.
Should I just google, "mental health," or should I take your word? I've worked in Behavioral Health for over a decade.
This was really weird to read. Self harm like this is normally associated with pretty severe mental illness.
Like what did she think they were going to do if she called in sick? Beat her up? Definitely a strange part of the story.
She probably should have kept that part to herself
Exactly.
Then, to combine that tidbit with the rest of the story, well... it just doesn't seem possible.
I mentioned it on another reply, but I'll say it here as well. I'm sure that the LTT facilities have camera and audio feeds everywhere. Pretty sure there was an episode about it as well. You mean to tell me that all of this happened in a technology company where everything is auditable? That none of it occurred digitally, where it's tracked?
This person didn't go to the police because the story is a fabrication. And they didn't say anything at the time, because there was likely clear proof of the false claims.
