We need to talk about this

I am a streamer
This is my role
Boundaries are important

Regardless of my education, background, or the sharing of my personal stories, I am a streamer

I am not your therapist.
I am not your on demand help.

I care about you.
I want the best for you.

I am still not your personal mental health resource mid-stream.

I just cut my Friday night stream in half because we stopped halfway through to have a very heavy talk with a community member that needed help.

I& #39;m glad we had that talk and gave that help.

This shit is important

It& #39;s also important to know that a dude online drinking with his friends is just that. I am a guy entertaining people.

I& #39;m not my degree right now. I am not a mental health professional now. I will help you find the people that will be your resource, but I am not it right now.

These are boundaries that need to be set. They suck. We care about each other. But they are important

We are streamers that want the best for you. We will help you find the appropriate resources

WE ARE NOT VIEWERS& #39; THERAPISTS. Stream is not the setting.

I want the best for you

I truly do want what is best for you. I want you to be healthy, happy, and full of love

My boozy stream with my friends is not the place for me to be forced into a crisis counseling role

Regardless of what Ashni says we are just people on the internet that want the best for you

We love you and want you to be happy and healthy. Most of us will make the effort to help you get appropriate help.

We are not crisis counselors, and our streams are not the hotlines.

I& #39;m sorry if this seems insensitive, but this is like showing up at a comedy show and expecting the crowd/comedian to be a therapist.

Of course they want you to be okay. We all want you to be okay. But streamers are not the professionals to look to.
