I just woke up ..I was really looking forward to DS like I always do. And now im sorry that I did.
There were 4 posts about suicide. Why the hell is today the day that everyone wants to die ..I do certainly want people to come for help and support ..but why the hell is anyone supporting suicide. I am going to let Doug know that this is happening and it's such an enourmous trigger for so many. I think that another community can be started for suicidle members. Just so they can get better support.. we need a safe place to come to get away from those thoughts because we have them all by ourselves, I worry more about the silent readers that dont post ..but they now think it's ok to take a bottle of pills because everyone else did. I hope not to upset anyone ..not my intention. I just cant stand one more post called "This is my last day"..it's so hard and many times we feel so much pressure to help .. I firmly believe that anyone who wants to commit suicide wouldent talk about it. What do you think ?? I need to ask what you all think about this before I contact Doug . Thanks guys ..I hope you werent thrown into a depression like I just did..Thanks guys :)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
One opinion only, friend. Have a great day regardless, KD!!!
I never found it to be a trigger. It's just part of bp, another aspect to discuss. I've never been affected by posts on this subject. I'm curious about other people's experiences but it doesn't make me want to go out and do it.
If someone is affected by it, I think they already have suicide on their minds.
....but I still love you KD!
Do what you need to take care of yourself----there will come a time when you will be able to jump right in and do what needs to be done, I promise!!
Good Luck to you and good job for taking care of you.
peace, teresa
When I see those posts they aren't necessarily a trigger for me. If I'm in the same state that they're in, feeling like I want to die, then I don't even read the posts. There is nothing I can say to them to make them feel better. I'm feeling the exact same way. But if I am feeling fairly strong and I know they just need some words of encouragement, to let them know that the sadness will pass, then I'll write to them. I also agree that most people that write about wanting to die are just looking for some help. I've never written about it on a forum, but I have reached out to certain people when I knew I was dangerously close to doing something I knew I';d regret.
It makes sense cos there's only so much we can say without it destroying any positivity that has pooled together in DS.
I do find the prospect of having a Suicide Forum quite funny.Anyone that finds that in bad taste doesn't know the full effect that suicide has on other people's lives.
It is tragically funny.Hilariously tragic.
