Sorry I have just seen that I can’t DM.

Basically I’ve been going through a really tough time (not an excuse to do what I did I’m just trying to give a bit of background), I lost my mum and never really got over it and I went from being a pretty happy person to in a dark place.

This summer I went on social media and I got so angry at seeing all these happy posts so I basically turned into a troll and I was very nasty to two people for absolutely no reason whatsoever. No violence, threats etc but I was very mean and made things up. I thought me being mean would make me feel better in some way but it didn’t. Please don’t judge me on this, I am really struggling. Rather than see a therapist I lashed out anonymously social media.

Police came to my door, no arrest, caution and I didn’t sign anything. They said that a complaint had been put in and was the number registered to my address which it was (even though I didn’t register with my number) so I’m assuming there’s a fancy police way of getting it!

I said I had done it (I didn’t want to lie) they gave me some stern words of advice and said not to contact them again.

A couple of days later I had a phone call about would I be willing to send an apology I said of course and I wrote a detailed email (ie not just I’m sorry). I also said there was someonelse I had done this too and the officer said he had no idea about that so I’m assuming they haven’t put a complaint in.

I will never go on that social media again, I know that sounds dramatic but honestly this has given me such a fright. But what I wanted to also know was this, if at a later stage the other person wanted to put in a complaint could I be in even more trouble? I had stopped the messages before the police came to my door (to both) and if that other person was to complain I would have thought they’d have done so by now?

I have always had a certain degree of anxiety but this has just blown it through the roof. I know I deserve to be suffering for what I’ve done but I do need and appreciate any advice
