Why the block?

I was having a very serious discussion with [redacted] and then suddenly before I could respond to one of her messages, she blocked me. I thought we were getting along. And talking about something important, no less.

Maybe she thinks I'm trying to get info on her or something? I understand the worry but I wouldn't. I've been here on SW for ages. You could ask anyone.

Considering what we were talking about I'm honestly heartbroken. That discussion was important to me.

You know she is s ùì cidal.

She is not in position to have any expectations placed on her my dude.

When people are in that state, no point in holding too tight or attempting to rationalize their behaviors.

@Miram That's why I'm heartbroken. I just wanted to help or at least let her feel heard.

@SinlessOnslaught

She needs professional help to detox and a home to live in. We cannot offer either right now.

It is now the responsibility of the admins to do something about it.

@Miram But they won't do anything.

We were in the middle of a real discussion.

I thought I was helping. She was in the middle of telling me things.

I don't understand.

@SinlessOnslaught

It is not your responsibility, nor is it within your control. You're not trained. You don't have access to her information to report directly. You don't have the resources to shelter her.

Insisting to look at this as your responsibility is only hurting yourself. That part is something you can control.

You don't need to understand why she blocked you. It is unnecessary. You have done your best.

@Miram Just. What. I can't

@Miram Okay, who is this person

SinlessOnslaught · M

@Miram Why do so many people sit around and watch these things happen to people and how does any of this make sense... there was no sign I was gonna be blocked. The whole thing I just don't know

Stop internalizing other people's problems. I am telling you this as someone who cares about you.

You're not trained to deal with this.

It is very much to be expected for a suicidal person to push you away.

Even more so when they have had several traumas and have many addictions.

Attaching expectations to people who are going through extreme difficulties, and clearly unstable, only harms you.

This isn't how you help anyone.

@Miram Goodnight.
