  How fucking ridiculous is it for putting us on a break for feeling suicidal WOW. 

  I used to think the same. But TheMix don’t just put suicidal people on bans. They put people who go against the rules or those who they feel will benefit from a ban. we have all signed up to the rules so should really follow them. And plus sometimes a break can help to find others crisis support & is with best intentions. Understand the frustation tho

  “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

  @Shaunie's bang on, here - we don't put people on breaks or bans just because they're suicidal. If we did, the community would be much smaller than it is. There are a lot of reasons we might decide a break is right for someone, some of which Shaunie has outlined. It's never something we do lightly.
  
  

  I'm closing this thread now as I know we've talked about this privately, too. It's good to have you back @Lostsense.
