I don't really understand what the problem is here...

If posters don't want to reply to her, then don't reply to her.
Her posts being here doesn't mean anybody has an obligation to reply to them, you know. If you find it hard to know what to say or whatever then just jolly well leave her posts alone and leave them for people who may be in a better place to respond to them. I have to say that that tends to work much better than posting things out of frustration or annoyance because one doesn't really understand what she wants or needs. Because posting out of frustration or annoyance tends to make the situation worse, and doesn't really help at all.

I also want to say that it is one thing to stop responding, or to put someone on ignore which is of course within your rights... And it is another thing to be so very vocal about how this is what you are going to do (which is unnecessarily cruel)

In fact... I wonder why people do it. Maybe the idea is to ostracise people... Be so very vocal about how difficult one finds it and hope the environment will be changed so all the inconvienient people who you don't know how to cope with will be taken out of it.

Is that really what people would prefer?

I find it really hard to take some of the posts people post.
They aren't supportive.

And FYI 'hysteric' isn't a term in current use anymore. Why not? Because it was considered to be a term that had extremely negative and judgemental connotations and there wasn't an adequate way of objectively determining whether someone met criteria for that or not... Basically... To label someone 'hysterical' speaks more of a transference reaction than it does about any intrinsic qualities of the individual you are labelling from a position of frustrated mental health consumer. Or maybe... You are qualified to diagnose? The implication seems to be that... 'hysterical behaviours' should be what? Ignored? What do you think?

I think...

People who feel frustrated should learn to own their own responses and quit lashing out at others.

Unbelievable...
