Here is what I posted some time ago about discussion of suicide:
Quote:
We do have members here that are feeling suicidal at any given time. If they post that they are feeling that way and what emotions they are going through at the time and looking for support, that is one thing. For a member to post that I'm going to do it xxx and this is how I will do it.....that is against our guidelines.
Our guideline states -
Quote:
Inappropriate Content
Messages containing suicidal threats or suicidal actions
|
A threat would be along the lines of "I'm done, tonight's the night" or "Goodbye cruel world, I won't be back PC".
If you are discussing that you are wondering why you should continue....that leaves the door open for conversation and support.

Because we are a supportive site, discussion of plans, dates, threats, how you wish to accomplish it, go against our mission of supporting people through their mental health issues such as this one.
For our membership to read what specifics we are thinking of or acting on is extremely triggering, especially when no one can do anything to help someone from going through with it on a website and IRL help is then needed.
As manwithnofriends stated, you can discuss suicidal ideation, why you are feeling like you wish to end your life, but nothing more than that is allowed.
