Hints and tips
  • To quote someone's message, first select/highlight the relevant text, and then use the Quote button that appears
  • To "mention" someone, type @ followed by the start of the forum name, and choose from the list; that person will get a notification of being mentioned

Finished, pt 2

I’m not going to put the same things as last time, because apparently someone thought that my last post, with the same title, was ‘abusive’. I was making a point about how people only notice me when it benefits them, and my point was f****** proven. You don’t give a single sh** about how I’m feeling, you only needed the post gone so that it can’t bother your delicate little thoughts. Lucky for you. It must be wonderful living a life like you do. Everything done for you and handed to you on a plate.

”let’s just ignore that this person clearly is in a crisis, and instead of giving them some reassuring words of comfort, I will report their post because it makes me feel uncomfortable whilst I am eating my third bag of cheesy fries from the chippy”.

  • Unfortunately such topics are quite difficult to discuss on forums like this. Being run by a professional charity, it is staffed by professional do-gooders who revel in generic copy-paste replies to difficult situations and don't actually participate in any of the conversation themselves (this is vastly different to the old days of web forums when staff were generally regular/experienced members/contributors). The NAS has to make itself look good and will not want people talking about k***ing themselves in public. There is also the new Online Safety Act which, in practise, pretty much forbids such discussion as it *could* be seen to be promoting it.

    I don't want to shoo you off but you might be better talking about such matters on a more open forum like WrongPlanet or Reddit.

    That aside, I know what its like to feel suicidal and to not have anyone to talk to about it (or indeed, about anything). It is very hard to be taken seriously by anyone else. Of course if you end up dead then everyone else would be devastated and would love the sympathy. But if you are miserable, who cares. Sorry I don't have any answers more than this.
