If your posts are a cry for help you can probably find some forums who will try and help you. Here people will be understanding and respectful so your not wasting anyone's time. From what your saying you want health services to support you? Can you afford private treatment?
I'm not prolife but I am pro choice and if you want help then you should be able to somehow get it.
Not a bad idea at all, Clover, but the problem I see with a lot of health services is how they can make a person feel crazy. Most of us here are not crazy, and we don't want to be judged so. We may suffer from mental illness or emotional distress or any number of issues, but we're not incapable of reason, communication, and a desire to socialize.
I definitely agree that Health Services can keep a person from committing suicide, but at the cost of a person's freedom, by taking away the ability to choose to Exit. They also would never validate our feelings that suicide is a legitimate personal choice (a basic human right, I'd argue), and that's extremely frustrating.
"Suicide is not an option," they'll say, and that, to me, would make me feel trapped. Knowing that Suicide is an option gives me some semblance of freedom.
Also, sometimes people just want to feel understood, not judged, as they share their pains. Sometimes that's enough. And maybe that makes this the better place to come cry for help.
"Suicide is a choice. We won't judge you for choosing it." To me, this sounds more helpful in liberate and validating someone who's at the edge. Who's to say they'll decide to live another day, knowing they can always have a valid backup plan if they choose.
