Hmmm… I don’t often talk to feministlestat-inactive, I was saddened by their most recent post, and sent them a message. They haven’t answered me, if they do, I’ll update this post. Does anyone here have info on this person?

You know, I’ve seen alot of ppl archive/go inactive during my time here on tumblr and it is especially worrisome when someone leaves a post like that. We just don’t know what a person is going through on their side of the screen, and it’s even harder here bc ppl often post about themselves in the exaggerated language of tumblrland hyperbole, so how are we to know when they’re being serious and really struggling?

If you, or someone you know, is struggling, there are help lines. 

I put some helplines under the cut. Thanks to festeringfae for this info, [http://festeringfae.tumblr.com/hotlines] If that link breaks for any reason, the Main Portal is http://www.selfhelpgroups.org/
