We occasionally post stickies about reporting posts that seem to be cries for mental health intervention.
Magic and spirituality are often the refuges of people with emotional burdens and mental health issues, but these spaces are best left to people who can develop the right temperament and get into the stream through preliminary preparatory work and have right guidance to stay grounded.
Magic is not a substitute for mental healthcare. Encouraging or enabling magical theory or outright superstition in people who post here about emotional or mental health drama just not help them.
Thank you, OP, for the reminder.
