On BT1, we used to warn each other if we were going to talk about something that we knew might trigger someone on the board. Or even if it sounded like it might be trigger-y. *Whitti's idea. *

Nobody seems to like it when people come in trying to peddle their wares or convince people to go off their medications without doctor support. Sometimes it is nice to hear what people have to say, yes. But sometimes it is dangerous.

If somebody is talking suicide, they need the numbers to the national and international hotlines and lots of support.

When some one is feeling dangerous, sometimes they just need to say it in front of people who understand and won't go running for the men in white coats.

Just like the other neuro issues, people here just need to know we are here for each other. Sometimes just a simple warning (privately please) may be enough to let someone know they are taking things too far or violating some rule. But we tend to be on the extreme end in here and it might take a bit to find out when things really are too far.

And we will yell for you and Whitty if we need help. Promise.
