Hi, I'm relatively new here (have already done the member introduction). I wasn't sure which forum to post this on, so I decided to trust my instinct - to post where people who go through experiences most similar to my own, can answer them. So, that is what I did.
(I'm sure mods will move it if they deem it necessary)

First off, please note that I have read all the formal guidelines, but still have these questions.

1 - I know that mentions of s**cide are not allowed, but how about just death ? I love the idea of death. Death to me is like candy to an average 8 yr old child. Is it ok to talk about fantasies of death ? To what level of detail ? Examples, please !
2 - Is it ok to talk about self-harm ? Again, to what level of detail ? Examples would help illustrate.
3 - Is it ok to swear, but mask certain letters of cuss words, as in $#!T ?

I can't think of any more questions at the moment (must be the Clonazepam), but I will post more as they enter my head.

Thank you

1. You can read the full detailed description of what we mean by no suicidal posts here:

http://forums.psychcentral.com/depre...resources.html

2. Talk about coping with self-harm and trying to stop this negative behavior are okay on the self-harm forum. Talk about it on other forums is only for limited purposes (e.g., should not be the focus of your post) and should always be tagged with a trigger icon.

3. No profanity is allowed (hence the reason we have a profanity filter). You should not try and go around the profanity filter, no.
