I think that maybe in a weird way, a block can be a good thing...even though it is an unpleasant thing.
If I hadn't been blocked, people might have directed more anger and frustration towards me. That would have made me and others feel worse and worse. Things might have escalated to dangerous levels on the boards.
When I was blocked, my behaviour still escalated, but at least people here didn't get hurt because of that. I think it is like a time out for me...instead of throwing a tantrum in a room pull of glass, I end up throwing a tantrum in a room full of boxes. I sure hope I didn't bang the boxes up too badly...
My p-doc told me that when I get blocked for saying suicidal stuff, that it doesn't mean that people want me to die. She told me that it means the exact opposite...that people here value life. I have to remember what she says to me.
