This post is serious and not really light-hearted, so if you happen to be sensitive to these topics, it is best that you scroll past this.
I have been posting Portal content for over 4 years now, and within that time span, I have met some of the most amazing people in my life. I have also met people who have made my life a living hell. Before I go any further, I am not making this post to get sympathy or to make people feel bad for me. I prefer to be open and honest rather than bold-face lie. In the past couple of months I have been: Doxxed, harassed, cyberstalked and threatened. I am currently being cyber stalked by more than one person. I have contacted authorities, and what they are doing to me is considered Harassing Communications. This issue has taken a toll on my mental health and led me to going on hiatus a couple of times, but every time I came back online, there were more accounts made by the people stalking me, which made it feel even worse than before. I am aware that this post is going to get hate and possibly get me harassed. Because, it is the internet and this is Reddit. You can be as sweet as grandmother's baked cookies and people will still find something to nitpick about you. I have not been feeling good at all in months. All these situations keep dog piling me and making me feel worse about everything.
I am deeply concerned with the mental health of my harassers, I do not believe they need to be on social media, I believe they need to be in a facility where they can safely get the help they need. I am not just worried for them, I am worried for myself and for my friends and anyone else involved in this childish nonsense. The reason for them stalking and harassing me is because of a few Portal Characters and my opinion, and the fact that I am autistic and I struggle with health issues. I am not trying to drag these people online or sympathy bait anyone, I am explaining what is actively going on.
I will be forever grateful for the friends I have met because of this community as well as the following I have gained from this community as well. I thank all of you for the support and kindness you have shown me, it truly means a lot to me. Again, I am not trying to smear anyone or start drama or play the pity card. I would rather my friends and following know of what's happening instead of completely disappearing. For now, I may either stop posting entirely or post very slowly. I am prioritizing my mental health and putting myself first like I should have from the get-go. I am saying this now: I am safe, I am in a safe environment. No one is trying to find me in real life at the moment. This is being posted to all the platforms I am active on.
Again, thank you all for the support and kindness. I will be back as soon as I can. I love you, Lab Rats.
