But what I was trying to convey, is somehow a way to help people understand blocks are not punitive.
To maybe have others understand WHY some stuff just can't be posted here. Its all about feeling safe.
I wish it could be worked out somehow...This a mental health board and is meant to be a safe place for all. That includes you.
That being said, only certain behaviours can be accepted here in order to maintain the safe feeling for all that is so important.
Blocking is not meant to create a feeling of being punished or ostracised, this is meant to be a place if support, up to a point only of course.
Blocking may be necessary to maintain safety overall.
If you are in a place of crisis, this unfortunately is NOT the place to find support, there needs to be IRL supports in place.
We would LOVE to support you in crisis, because so many of us understand, but it cuases many ripple effects and often ends up cuasing a great deal of trouble for the many that are here. So sadly, this is just not the place for this.
If there is nowhere that you can think of IRL to turn, try your local crisis line, often listed in the front of the phone book. Or if you are in danger, please call 911 or proceed to the nearest emergency room.(or insert a link to a good crisis page)
This is in order to maintain the safety of this place for ALL, including yourself.
This is a place for hurting people disruptions are very hard to the many that are here.
You contributions valued here and hopefully we will see you back when you have been able to settle some.
Please take care and seek IRL support.
Oh crude effort, but I wished there could be an easier way....
