Gaslighting and Suicide Prevention Information

Information from a now-removed post (at contact's request).

I don't think JM has owned up to any of his mistakes; I don't think he regrets anything he's done to hurt other people; and I really think he needs to stop running events. But I still don't think suicide is an answer. (Yes, I am also aware that he has threatened suicide before in order to get attention, but every suicide threat should be treated as credible and professional help is never a bad idea). 

3) Two images to help handle gaslighting: 

Responding to Gaslighting

• When possible, don't engage
• "We remember things differently"
• "I hear you. That isn't my experience"
• "I'm stepping away from this conversation"
• "If you continue to speak to me in this way, I'm not engaging"
• "I'm open to discussing a solution with you. I'm not open to debating my feelings."

Responding to a Gaslighter: 

• We remember things differently
• If you continue to speak to me like this, I'm not engaging
• I hear you and that isn't my experience
• I know my truth and I'm not debating it with you
• I'm stepping away from this conversation 

I hope that information is helpful.
