HolloweenSkye...I did not reply to your active suicide post last night because of these notices here in the depression forum by the administration of the site...

"Just a gentle reminder... No suicidal posts, please. (What does this mean?) Thank you."

What We Mean by "No Suicidal Posts, Please"

when you click on the link in the notice you will find this post..

We're okay with people discussing their somewhat vague thoughts or feelings they have about wanting to commit suicide. Such posts should be marked with a trigger icon when made, and usually posted here in the Depression forum.

We're not okay with people discussing their specific intentions, plans, methods, or such in a way to suggest they are currently in crisis and in need of immediate assistance. So we do not allow talk of specific plans, methods, or intentions. We're not a crisis hotline, and are not setup to deal with people in such immediate need. We believe that when a person is at that point, they should reach out for a real-world resource in getting help.

Further Suicide Resources

If you need more support for feeling actively suicidal than our community can provide, we maintain a list of online and community-based suicide resources. We keep all of our resources in indexed lists that are regularly reviewed and updated under the "Resources" main menu item (under our logo there). Scroll down and you'll see a category called "Suicide and Crises."

Best,

may I suggest you use the resources that Doc John has posted and also suggest like others have stated contact a treatment provider.

here on psychcentral we cant do much to help a person that is doing things to commit suicide while they are posting. for some people it can trigger their own suicidal actions (which is most likely why we are not supposed to post while trying to harm ourselfs.)

to give you an example I was so upset and feeling so helpless that I could not help you I reported the post using the report button and I located a moderator that was online at the point where you were planning and acting on your suicide intentions, letting them know there was an active suicide going on on the forum and then I got off the internet and contacted my own treatment providers, others here may not be able to take the self care steps that I did.

please contact your treatment providers.. we are not allowed to act as another members treatment providers making sure they come out of their suicidal states and to put it bluntly imagine how others here that did reply to you or have read your post would have felt if they had woke up today to a notice that you had succeeded. if you cant imagine that you can read about when other members here have died in the grief forum.
