Please note that our current policy is that any discussion of suicide or self-harm is not permitted, whether that's writing about contemplating it, or discussing methods. It is important to note that this includes anything written in spoiler tags. The reasons for this policy are: We are not professionally trained to deal with serious, potentially dangerous issues like this. We feel that directing people to appropriate help is safer than posting on TSR about it. Often messages about these types of feelings end up getting replies which are at best well-intentioned but unhelpful and at worst downright malicious. We would never want someone to be made to feel worse for posting about their feelings. There is a real risk of both triggering other users and increasing dangerous behaviour by allowing discussion of self-harm methods etc. We do not want TSR to be seen to be a site which encourages or promotes self-harm.
NOTE: The Mental Health Support Society is a replacement for the Depression Society, this is to reflect the wide variety of problems that members who post face.
Unfortunately I created it before such a discussion.
It's not like any conclusion was made tbh, other than this thread is a hell of a lot more than a thread about depression. It's just also not a DSM wide thread.
