I've tried to broach that topic myself several times, both with treaters, and with family/friends. It's still a very taboo topic. I still get sideways glances and that look of panic flash through someone's eyes at the mere mention of it. It's weird that you posted ths today, because I have seen three other posts on the topic just last night. It fascinates me, and I too would like to have a conversation with someone around it. Or, I would like to hear what others have to say (I'm not 100% sure I have fully formulated what I want to express on the topic beyond a few basic sentiments). I too worry that I might trigger someone or make them sad or scared or whatever uncomfortable feelings may come up. I would not want to be the catalyst for someone else's suicide, but then again, I don't think it's a decision people make on a whim if they have never felt suicidal before, never thought about it before...
I would say message me if you want to talk about it, but I am not on here reliably enough to warrent that. If you are ok with a long pause in the conversation, feel free to message me. Some days I'm here several times a day, sometimes not for weeks.
