By the way, the poster you replied to was Cobolt not, Cobalt. (I forsee future confusion)
I'm shocked that the situation came to this, particularly when I was inclined to support your case. Given this development, your new post should now be doubted on most counts. You appear able to meticulously construct detailed, interweaving, convincing lies, and there's no real reason, aside from reported repayments, to think your new story any different.
I've dealt with depression for nearly four years now. I've attempted several medications, often believing I could take shortcuts in treatment to cut costs, and making incomplete starts with psychology to avoid financial burden. Ultimately I paid the price for this in relapse. Only now am I taking the serious, expensive steps to work past depression once and for all, because I can't afford not to.
But never -- never -- have I blamed my actions on an illness. Your ready willingness to do so make me extremely skeptical of any claim that you have ever sought treatment, let alone been in it for years. You know damn well what you were doing. Someone working with mental health professionals would treat their psychological problem as something within themselves and ultimately under their control, not as a complex, external scapegoat.
Your enthusiasm to sound convincing, and to bring suicide threats into the conversation, make me doubt the validity of your entire post. Both are red flags of a heavy deception groaning under its own weight.
And Prozac? I'm extremely skeptical that you would be on Prozac, or any SSRI, after several years of psychiatric treatment. Even if you were to be on an SSRI after several years, I question it being Prozac, which is prescribed less often these days compared to related drugs. Prozac is also the most commonly known antidepressant brand name to the general public, which would support the idea that you needed a convincing name.
Your sudden and wordy willingness to be sincere is either very unusual or clearly another set of untruths. Convincing claims to provide photographs, reveal personal difficulties, and tell the "real" truth are common techniques employed by pathological liars.
I may have given you some credit before I read this passage:

I just hope that eventually, you guys can all forgive me. Realize it was a mistake. I am going to pay for that mistake, but like I said to my friends today before I decided I was going to shoot myself…..The more people slag me and call me a criminal, the only more of a criminal I will become. |
This rings very hollow.
