Thanks for the input people. What you say makes a lot of sense. So, instead of posting threats I should post about the pain I'm in and that way people won't get angry at me?

That's the idea.

Here's another thought for you: you never have to go to extremes to get support here or There. You don't have to say that you're in the worst pain there's ever been, you can just say that you hurt. People understand that.

I know that in many situations people don't quite get the level of distress you feel, so you've probably learned to overstate it, to say that you're suicidal when you're really only miserable, if that makes sense. That won't happen at either of these websites, and they're both good places for you to practice understating it a bit to see what happens.

I do hope that helps.
