I'm hearing that you came across a post on Facebook that mentioned ways to die. That sounds tough. I agree Facebook isn't meant for that, and it must have been difficult for the person who originally post it to receive those replies. Id say instead of posting that sort of things on social media, its better to use services like The Mix, where you can get support from other people who are going through similar things.
It sounds like it was a pretty intense page to come across, and I am wondering if you feel like it has affected you at all? xx
Did you feel like the posts impacted you in anyway? xx
stay off tht one. youtube's better
It's important that people like you are there to take a stand. I reckon sometimes people make posts like this in an effort to communicate their own pain and try to make that clear to others, nevertheless, that doesn't mean it's okay to inadvertently 'help' other people in harming themselves or in dying.
huge well done Ellie, truly, and glad to hear that YouTube is better! xx
