I apologize if I have offended anyone but this place is supposed to be somewhere you can feel OK to say what's on your mind maybe get someone who may just listen or even make you feel a little better, not someone to make it worse by attacking and name calling.
Suicide is a topic I know that is requested not to be discussed here and I understand WHY now, it's a bloody minefield.
Responses like that are what make people like me edit and reedit my posts so as not to offend/upset anyone. Not this time.
Delete my response if you feel necessary Mods but I just couldn't ignore that response, it made me Angry. I took a few hrs to think before I typed and I am still angry.

Nams, thank you for that. I had a similar reaction when I read the comment by Sewerrats (actually part of it was shocked disbelief) but didn't have the courage to say something (call me cowardly) or wasn't sure whether I should become involved. This was so not helpful and I'm glad you pointed that out, Nams. I'm glad you had the courage to do it. Making another person feel guilty about others and also to some extent a failure because they have 'failed' to kill themselves is unbelievable and outrageous.
I know I might get some hatred now for saying the above, especially from Sewerrats, but I feel I should have spoken out in the first place like you, Nams, and at least had to do so now.
