Or maybe he doesn't. Maybe OP isn't religious. They should still keep trying, though. I hope they can look back distantly on this someday as a low point they barely member because life has gotten so much better.

Why would they want to though? It sounds like the people there aren't very nice.

There's a lot of ways to get around an IP block, but circumventing forum bans is shitty and going back to that forum would be even shittier.

You're ******* stupid

#68 Some people can't afford professional help, some are minors and need to go through parents, some situations are worse than you could fathom. If you can't be nonjudgemental, then get a trusted adult to take care of the situation for you, because you're obviously not mature enough to handle it.

Or you know sometimes people have lucidity between suicidal thoughts and realize, "**** I need help let me snag an actual adult." And if so many of your friends are trying to overdose in front of you maybe be a little more empathetic?

"If you're telling people about it it means you aren't going to commit suicide" is a common misconception which adds even more stigma to mental illness and drives people into a deeper depression where they're afraid to speak out in fear of getting told they're faking. so think before you say shit like that because you have no idea who is fighting a struggle and is desperate to ask for help but is too afraid.

Thanks for saying that. Sometimes I feel so ashamed for being depressed but i have absolutely no one to speak to because of how vocal people are about being "selfish attention seeking twat" when I actually get the courage to try to help myself.

I used to think like that until a friend of mine did kill herself. stupid and now I blame myself everyday because I didn't get her help. if someone says their going to commit suicide they need help either emotionally or psychologically.

Are you ******* stupid? Pardon me if I sound rude, but I lost my older sister to suicide. And she *tried* to get help. Our parents thought it was a "phase" and told her (I was there in person when she said this) that if she cuts herself, or tried to kill herself they would disown her and take her to a mental instution. The school counsler was no help, as she would only call our parents. And if you actually think telling someone that's dealing with depression or has suicidal thoughts that calling them an "idiot" and that their "selfish" then you aren't a real friend. You're that person who they avoid, for a reason. You may not be a "privileged little bitch" but you are most certainly a Bitch. I hope your friends get better and realize how terrible of a friend you are and move on. You have NO understanding of how someone with depression thinks or feels and the same is with anybody else that has suicidal thoughts

I find this so stupid. Obviously people want suicidal people to get help, but if they do they are taking or attention seeking. What? You are literally encouraging them to keep it secret, because otherwise they get belittled, mocked, and insulted. Which will make it worse.

Literally everything anyone does is for some type of attention. Posting a comment is to get attention. Posting a comment you more than likely knew was going to get a negative response is even more "attention seeking." Wanting attention is not a bad thing, it's something everyone needs. Attention is an important part of being a human, you asshat.

That actually makes sense, and if you think about it... suicide prevention forums are subject to attention-seekers because they want to indulge and, you know, get attention. It's not a good idea to go there regardless because it will likely be populated by people who are experiencing those problems, rather than people who have grown from those problems. LGBTQA+ and Goths are kind of likely to have a population of people who have survived depression and suicide, and know how it feels - but they have the benefit of having worked themselves out of it. They could give advice based on what they learned in the situation and help others get out of it.
