I've been on TBT for 12 years. Started as Mayor Aimi, then changed into my artist name Pixori for a while and now we're here due to a fandom I love. All that to say, I have never had an issue on this website or made waves in all of that time. I've made many friends, seen many people come and go and have generally enjoyed my time here. I've also had playful relationships with some and also have happily drawn for many. I loved my time on this site.
As completely silly as it is, it seemed like a getaway from the more harsher internet sites.
To get personal, I'm a physically disabled woman on SSDI. I don't make a lot of money other than through what little artistic talents I have, because I am absolutely house-bound. The government money barely gets me through half the month. I can barely walk anything more than short distances.
On top of which, I do suffer from CPTSD, have also been diagnosed first with ADHD and then in my 30's, I was pushed by my autistic friend to go get evaluated and was diagnosed as autistic as well. I also have OCD... am OCD..? Honestly, Idk how to word that lol. sorry.
As you can see I don't have a lot going on in my life. I can't go out and work like others can. I don't have the privilege, unfortunately.
It's depressing and I don't talk about it ever bc of that but sorry, I'm just going off about everything rn even if it's a little embarrassing.
I won't speak much of the situation at hand bc I want it to end and know that this person may come and stalk me even here since they've been making me feel paranoid, unsafe and harassed. If you are reading this for whatever reason-- I am NOT mentioning your name or saying much about it. So please for the love of God, leave me alone if you are reading this. Leave. me. alone. I'm literally pleading with you, leave me alone.
If I don't talk, I might crash-out in an unhealthy way. I want to vent in the place of my sadness. Anyways.
I am being shorted money I can not afford to lose for defending my wife from disrespect. It is what it is but unfortunately that money was for medication and I did not think I would suffer and I did not account for this happening, as I could not predict this happening. My money is very stretched already so losing any bit unexpectedly messes me and my wife and my animals up much more than you could imagine. $20 doesn't even cover the box of cat food I get, so losing double of that is going to hurt. I hate talking about money issues, it's humbling, embarrassing and awful to be forced into this position.
I've also felt harassed and stalked for days now unnecessarily. My blood pressure has been up and tbh generally I just need to be free of everything. I don't know how I'm going to make up for this person's vindictiveness bc I know that paypal has a predisposition to side with buyers, even if you have all the proof in the world. It's been a common problem for artists but people only ever like using paypal. It sucks.
I'm really scared and hoping for the best but it's up in the air. I've hardly slept because of this. It's been six days since I've really gotten rest, my anxiety is through the roof and I just want to crawl under a rock and disappear. I'm a big crybaby, everyone in my family knows this and I can't stand confrontation, even if I have to deal with it as well as I can and can appear that I'm fine, I'm not.
I would never do anything to put someone in harms way. I may say things when I panic and am threatened but I'm not a person who would ever do anything to anyone. Even if it is justifiable, I will not speak this persons name. So please leave me alone. Even though they SAID they would NOT do this and thus I have every reason to call them a scammer-- I just want to be done with you forever. No matter what the result is, leave me alone. You've done enough because of your vindictive behavior, have lied, pushed things beyond reason and I'm tired. So tired.
Because of how I do feel now, I'm probably going to be taking either a hiatus after all of this or completely leaving this site altogether. I just don't feel safe, or happy. A safe space for me is gone and that really sucks. All for protecting myself from abuse. lol. I don't even know if this site will let me keep this post up. I'm just really sad and venting. Sorry if I broke any rules somehow. I ask for some grace, if so.
Sorry, I'm extremely longwinded haha;; orz... Who knows if I'll feel safe to even leave this up for long.
