I’m posting this because we regretfully had to remove recent posts that implied the need for 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 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! Is there any follow-up, or are they just sent on their way with resources? I'd just be curious to know.🙂

Thank you for letting us know. Will you be following up? What is the intensity of your help?

Thank you for your comments/questions. We do provide a list of resources and encourage community members to take advantage of them. Unfortunately, because of the anonymous nature of this community, we are limited in how we can follow up.
