For those who answered my question, thank you, it was helpful to learn about the breathing situation. I appreciate you.

For everybody else:

May the negativity you supposed Portlanders spent your time on a reddit sharing with me be reflected in your well being on a daily basis until you realize how toxic you truly are.

I came on here genuinely excited and wanted to learn about Portland prior to moving. With toxic people like you I'm sure the city is full of awful energy and you can be so proud of yourselves that you were able to online bully a person with a health condition for wanting to understand how to navigate her world.

May people go up to you on the street and treat you the way you treated me in this forum. Peple csn go up to you and say, I can tell just by your appearance that you dont belong. Im coughing up a lung just looking at you.

What pieces of shit. But perhaps you never will understand because you're so proud of what assholes you have become. In which case, yeah. I guess. Be a bully. Be proud to know that you are part of what makes Portland horrible. That you are the bullies and the negative energy. That the negative press is due to what shitty people YOU are.
