Disapeering thread and things we can't talk about

TheCatWoman

A thread on suicidal ideation seems to have disapeared, is this s subject that we're not allowed to talk about in case someone get upset or offended?

What if I get upset or offended by not being able to discuss something difficult, or dosen't that matter? It all feels like being back at school again and being the only person in the class who doesn't understand why I can't talk about things and is being ignored by the teacher.

My overwhelming autistic trait is being able to see the elephant in the room and not know it's an elephant thats supposed to be invisable.

  • Yep, just had an email from the mods telling me why my post had been removed and suggesting I go to other unspecified agencies and that it was removed in case it gave people "ideas".

    I think the thing that really gets to people about those in my situation is that they feel helpless, so I have to shut up, they know there's nothing they can say or do to help. Worst of all I said I wish that the assisted dying bill would go further and why is it limited to physical health? Big NO No's there, bad Catwoman.

    Should we also not talk about people stealing things or being attacked in case it gives people ideas? Good grief. I thought this was a safe space for discussion.

    In some of the ND spaces I've been in before this one people were advised to add trigger warnings about sensitive topics at the top of their post and then be free to discuss what's on their mind. Would this be an option here?

    I feel that again as autistics were being infantilised and shepherded away from certain topics because we don't know any better.
