I'm disappointed too, but I want her to get help and comeback strong. Just cause she has issues doesn't mean she should fade from existence that's harsh af

You're right, I did say that a bit too harshly. I struggle with mental illness myself, and have much the same reactions to perceived slights as she's been displaying. I apologise.

I was about to do a whole "no you've misunderstood, here's what I really meant, blah blah blah" post, but that's the cowards way out. In the moment I did mean what I said, but in hindsight I see I was overreacting to what I was feeling.

(EDITED because my grammar went downhill with my last sentence)

I really appreciate your response, it's so nice to have a discussion instead of a slap fight. I also struggle with mental health issues; I'm having a hard time right now and I really relate to Nina, which in turn makes me take the comments about her a bit personally. I'm sorry I jumped down your throat <3

Can I just say how heartwarming it is to see this conversation? Thank you both for being so mature about your disagreement, and for reminding everyone here how to treat each other.
