We regretfully had to remove a post that implied the need for professional or medical help (severe crisis). Although an incredible level of support and advice exists in this community it is anonymous, online and not professional in nature. In a critical situation, anonymous, online advice carries the risk of misjudgment and harm, however well-intentioned. We have to stick to our rule of taking down this type of post for safety's sake.
We have contacted the member with advice and contact details for services that can provide the appropriate level of advice to get through their situation. From the bottom of our heart we wish them well from the whole community and hope that they can get through this situation as quickly as possible. Thank you to those who responded with support. We are grateful for all of you.
