Removal of Recent Posts

I’m posting this because we regretfully had to remove several recent posts that implied the need for immediate professional or medical help. 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 misjudgement and harm, however well intentioned. We have to stick to our rule of taking down these types of posts for safety of the poster and the community.

Some of you have inquired what happens in these instances. We have contacted the members 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.
