As someone with depression who has been on the receiving end of a welfare check (cops showing up and poking around your personal space and just being rather a bother when one is so damn down--and this has been on more than one occasion in my life) I can relate to the anger that a.v.l.s. is expressing.
I agree threatening someone isn't productive but it appears there is a very ill young lady here who is in a bad state of her illness.
I'm just trying to muster compassion for someone so ill and so angry.
I do not think PBC'ing or blocking would be helpful to someone so in need of support when it appears she isn't receiving it in her real life (as opposed to this cyber one).
Just my opinion. We're all entitled to have em and often do not agree but that is the beauty of this space. We can be of different opinions and still try to understand and support one another through the ups and downs and cycles of our illnesses (often very angry and ugly but illnesses nonetheless).
I hear what you have to say and read what you and Noa wrote about sar. Indeed this is a triggering thread that many will NEED to avoid for their own well being.
Take care and my prayers are with all that need them.
respectfully,
zenhussy
