I was on the thread, it's really awful, poor lady. Does mn ever try and contact the poster?

I’m guessing there would be a lot of similar posts, not many of them genuine. Also, we aren’t generally speaking qualified in the best way to support people.

Why is it policy for deleting? I don't understand.

I understand why you have deleted but I would like to voice my unease
She reached out to us and we have turned her away.
I will feel dreadfully guilty if she now reaches no one and ends things.

It would be helpful to understand the reasoning.

You deleted it???? What???? She was reaching out. She was talking and this might have been her last lifeline. I'm fucking speechless Angry

I struggle with the fact these threads are deleted. I really do. If someone really is on the brink of suicide and using this site then I doubt they will phone the help lines recommended and the deletion could push them over the edge. It’s one of the few policy decisions I struggle with on here, because I do believe in some instances a life could be at stake.

Hi everyone. Thanks so much for flagging this here and for the reports. We're on that thread as we speak. Thanks again Flowers.

There are some people on the thread holding her hand, hopefully we can give some support. She seems to be chatting. So sad for her, wish we could help in RL, but it's the best we can do.
