I know that as an emotionally fragile person if it weren't for some of the guidelines here I wouldn't feel safe.

But if you make it "safe" for others, you make it unsafe for others. I have been told to shut up few times in chat when I was distressed about terrorist attacks on MY continents, in towns where MY friends are. Or about war in my backyard, basically.
These issues affect us and our mental health. I have PTSD from strong involvement. And if I cannot discuss it openly... than I don't feel safe or right.
So some feel safe when real world topics are done away and we pretend they don't exist... but to some it feels strange and even unsafe.
Again, I can pretend I cannot use my vacation house and vineyards cause flock of bears moved in and another flock of bear ruined the coal shed and that somebody said something mean to me (I can even pretend it was something mean about my "mental illness")... but what advice I can get?
