Severely bullying someone with adrenal insufficiency is assault.

That’s how I see it, anyway.  That’s undoubtedly how my friends and family will see it if I get hospitalized or die of an adrenal crisis related in some way to deliberate personal attacks on me.  So just be aware of that, if you feel like starting a fight for no good reason at all.

And yes, I know the difference between disagreement and attacks.  Disagreement can be stressful, but that stress is partially my responsibility to deal with, because people have every right to disagree with me.  People do not have every right to attack me for fun, to bait me, to taunt me, to bully me, to abuse me in any way.

If you do any of those things and it contributes to an adrenal crisis, I will see you as responsible and so will anyone who knows me well.  My friends.  My family.  Everyone.  So don’t fucking do it.  And don’t do it to anyone else with adrenal insufficiency or other diseases heavily affected by stress, either.

Seriously here’s what Wikipedia says about prevention of adrenal crises:

“Adrenal crisis is triggered by stress and hence people with adrenal insufficiency need to avoid stressful situations.”

Not all stressful situations can be avoided.  But you can sure as fuck avoid personally attacking people with adrenal insufficiency because you get off on twisted fucked up things like that.  It’s like deliberately putting a strobe light in front of an epileptic person: dangerous and potentially deadly, and with no point to it at all other than cruelty.  So stay away from me, and stay away from anyone else you could kill with your little games.  I’ve got enough going on in my life right now, I don’t need bullies in addition.  And if you have even a sliver of a conscience, consult it before pulling this kind of shit.  Because anything that happens to me as a result of it will be on you for the rest of your life.  And if my friends and family see that bullying had any part in putting me in the hospital or killing me, they will become very vocal about who did this and what the results were.
