Like under the influence of alcohol, drugs(including prescription), or just being mentally unstable.

For me yes.

First, I was in a manic state. I told a girl I loved her and that in didn't matter who I was unless it did to her.

And then I think I remember sending her one more message, but this time I was upset and I said somethings that were confusing. I forgot exactly, it was a long time ago.

And then, on a message board, I said somethings that was just totally whack. I was on prescribed drugs, and I guess I was kinda delusional at the same time.
 
I guess it depends on how wide your scope would be of mentally unstable. I've had an extended period of being unstable, back then i pretty much lived on the internet, so most of the things i said or did were on there. I've definitely done things that i wouldn't ever wanna do again as a result of the state i was in. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for?
 
That counts as well. If you wouldn't want to do it again. Even if you regret posting a video/picture/message/etc.
 
I used to post drunk ALL the time, but I'm a very happy (if slightly unintelligible) drunk, so I didn't tend to offend people. I have posted many times when I am mentally unstable, but over the years I have become very adept at faking 'normality'.

I did tell someone that I loved them just 2 days after meeting them, but I'd drank 24x440ml cans of Boddington's and a 5 litre bottle of cider... and she didn't mind either way. I like to look back on the embarrassing things I've done online and just have a bit of a chuckle.
 
Yeah. Here.
Some inner thoughts I don't show in real life. Both faces are part of myself but here is where I can express my demons.
 
I just remember posting some random stuff on my facebook when I was in a manic episode.

My cousin did too. He was triggered by doing drugs though.

I'm glad I'm not alone, makes me feel better. He is ok now, good thing.

It is some thing you can laugh about now lol. What can you do? It's not even embarrassing compared to other things.
 
^ You're definitely not alone! I would genuinely be surprised and interested if someone honestly said no.
 
Let's see:
  • posted extremely pitiful status updates on social media when I was depressed many years ago.
  • wrote two poems while I was drunk and posted them on another message board. They were not depressing though, they were just drunken philosophical nonsense.
  • almost everything I've ever posted here...oh wait, that's more myself than I've ever shown in real life. Anonymity be blessed.

Buzzkill. They're in my native language.

it won't be a buzzkill if you record it in your native tongue and share. I think it would sound wonderful
 
Yes. Posted things. And other things I've regretted. The internet is a hazardous place when you're not altogether yourself.

Harhar...don't get optimistic. You've yet to find out how my voice sounds like at all.

what about you stop being sissy and show us what you sound like?
 
Every winter during the Christmas season I get a little bit crazy and last time I chose to ventilate some of my own psychosis on someone in a pm. It was a really nasty message. Wish I could take it back but once you hit "send" it's too late. It was a learning experience in the area of personal responsibility.

Now quit your shaming. I show what I intend to show at my own discretion.
 
Being coy does not suit you. Show us the harsh and brave man inside you

You know neither what suits me nor what's inside me. You'll have to get some of those delicious gender rolls elsewhere.
