The support chat room provides that hon. There are no sanctioned psychotherapists here to work with suicidal people... that's for you and your therapist to work through (those horrible feelings) or a hotline (lists are provided to help you find someone to talk with) and emergency rooms.

I think also that some members have additional disorders that would cause them to use the 'suicidal ideation' as a tool for attention... and no one is really able to help here with that....

Plus other members, imo, would be triggered by the discussions and still others would be frustrated and overwhelmed by trying to help a suicidal person. The site just isn't set up to help much in that area....

If one is truly suicidal they need to be talking to someone IRL, not posting or chatting on a website imnsho.

But you know you can post in depression forum about your low feelings and receive encouragment.
