I need to vent 
It’s not as simple as:
There are MINORS on this app and vulnerable people of all ages, dealing with a spectrum of mental health issues and/or mental illness. It’s all well and good giving logical advice but a lot of passing/audience people are not neurotypical.
Freeze/fawn reactions are genuine trauma responses often triggered in events such as this evening. Personally, when I am confronted with self harm without warning, I get severe flashbacks and freeze. I then often go into a fawn response of trying to help (to my own detriment), a trauma response often linked to trauma from appeasing a past abuser. So, offering suggestions like the list above are useless at best and fing offensive at worst.
I’m sick and tired of this woman endangering other people and turning down the many health professionals who’ve tried to help her. She needs off the app, for her own sake and safety and that of the people she influences.
