This is not directed at anyone specific. This has happened many times in the past with many different people.
There are some concerns we and others have regarding some venting posts.
When venting, you may talk about things that happened in the past, bad things happening in your life, and/or things youve thought about or are thinking about. This is fine with a proper trigger warning.
However, making a post just flatly saying you are going to harm yourself is extremely triggering, disturbing, and scary. Even with trigger warnings, it still can be a very heavy experience.
DISCLAIMER: I am by no means trying to say you are a bad person for thinking of harm towards yourself or even acting on it. This post is being made in regards to the fact that the way many posts are written can cause panic.
The LGBTA wiki is not a mental health site. The venting/ranting section isn't made to announce to people that you are planning on harm. It is made to vent, rant, and ask for advice or comfort. Please don't use it to announce what you do to yourself.
If youre planning on harming yourself, please dont post just telling people you're going to do it. Instead, post something along the lines of 'I'm thinking about _, can someone talk to me about it?'
I am not saying vents related to suicide and self harm are not allowed. What I am saying is to please not use this site as a way to announce how you plan to harm yourself.
