Help What’s the right place for vents???

[sohopelessandempty]

This sounds like a silly question but I will explain. I feel like this is a good place to vent without being forced in the mental hospital, but I'm not sure where to put my vents or if they'll be annoying to others. Also, I know there is a recovery section here. I have phases where I want to recover and phases where I don't, and where I put the vent posts influence whatever feedback I'll get on them. Like sometimes I want to be talked out of suicide, I know it is my choice in the end and nobody can force me to do anything but when I'm in a recovery mood it's comforting to be talked out of it. So then should some of them go in the recovery section? But I feel like if I'm talking about suicide it should stay in the suicide discussion forum. Anyways not sure, somebody let me know. Sorry, I'm new here.

Welcome, unfortunately.

The "rules" on this are lax (read: nearly nonexistent). Really it mostly matters what your mindset is, as you say. I've requested a thread moved out of the main suicide forum that both didn't seem to have anything to do with suicide and this was confirmed by the poster; it was denied.

Just don't talk about how great life is in the main forum if you don't want to be lambasted. Honestly that's about it.
