Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Sorry to bring things down again but this post is for all those people out there who post 'crying wolf' threads about committing suicide.
Do you actually realise the damage you are doing?
I'm not talking about the ones who are feelin suicidal and ask for help, I am talking about those evil fuckers who cry suicide, create false accounts about 'suicides' and etc.
Do you know that hundreds if not thousands of people commit suicide everyday??
Do you not realise the hell this puts their loved ones through?
Do you not realise that, by posting these threads, you are planting more and more seeds of doubt in peoples minds about the real people who are crying out for help? And even if these people, CARING people keep going, you post a thread like this, a fake suicide post, you are taking time away from those who are really serious and really need help?
So next time you think about crying wolf, think of it in these terms. You make a prank call to the emergency services, you think it's a laugh because you're bored, but then something awful happens to you and you DESPERATELY need help, but the emergency services are too busy going to assist on your fake call and you die in agony because no one was there to save you.
Think about that.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
don't think red's sayin ignore neccessarily but try asking for help outright instead
i'm talking about eh threats of suicide posts, those should always be taken seriously.
I'm talking about the ones in the past (and some that may be thinking of this) that come out with 'I've slit my wrists/I'vetaken lots of pills/whatever' then come back onlien as some one else and talk about how this person did this or that.
I am talking about the people that do this purely to fuck with people.
They need to be made to realise the consequences of their actions.
We all have the choice as to whether we wish to engage in talking to a possible suicidal person or not and in doing so we also take the risks that go with it. For some, perhaps this is the only way they know to cry out for help. Can you really determine from the other end of your computer whether the person really wants to kill themselves or not? For the person struggling with the idea of suicide, it is very real to them.......
I am talking to, and about, the trolls who come on this site and post threads about sicide to stir shit up and upset people.
I am saying this because I believe that we should always take suicide posts seriously and it's trolls that do this sort of thing that take help away from someone who is geuninely asking for help.
