Re: [Flightgear-devel] Leaving

Despite our differences, I mean the following in sincerity out of concern for your well-being.

Not agreeing with your political opinions and requesting you to refrain from lecturing us on them especially in such an abrasive manner in our community is not an "attack" on you, and it's concerning that you think so. It doesn't matter what anybody else's politics are, we're all have our own opinions, and we don't need to discuss it here, we just want to work on our sim.

We are not psychologists and we cannot help you with a mental health crisis.

Please seek therapy for your own well-being.

I've been through my fair share of mental health struggles (as I'm sure many remember from my many "leaves and returns" from FG, and even though they were for different reasons (my physical health/the isolation it caused), the ONLY way I improved was by working with a professional that yields results... and if there are no results, change the professional.

I strongly encourage you to do the same. It works, but only if you let it.

Bests,
J

Subject: [Flightgear-devel] Leaving

Hey folks,

sadly I must say that I'm leaving this community behind, after another
attack on me cause I'm openly queer and stand by those values on the
forum today, and my attempts at getting a positive change in the
community failed, I'm leaving... I just don't feel safe here anymore.
I locked my self out of the forum with no way to recover, left the
flightgear group on gitlab and will also set this mailing list up in a
way for me to be unable to respond to any of this anymore.
I'm heart broken, but I must leave, it's the only way that keeps me from
repeated desires to self harm or commit suicide due to attacks on me.
I loved flightgear, I've sunken so much time, love and also money over
the past 9 years, it's been my main hobby, for some times my only
hobby.... I don't want to leave what I love but it just causes me too
much pain!

in deep sorrow,

Nia
