> i read this post an my one brain cell ticked over . do you no how people view me an depression , they dont believe me, im great at hiding it,i put on the behind the mask face,an when i am floored with pain i dont let them see me , they say where have you been for a while.no i dont like reading these post when people want other people to be down with them so they can feel better,on one think i once went to a showroom to pick up a new car, there was people picking there new cars up to. all smiles an exitement. i feel nothing only depression , so i can relate to how you worded that part of the post.
I think i need to take a writing course, because my meaning keeps getting lost. I wasn't complaining about suicidal people posting here. I encourage it. This is the one place that you can share that information and I hope people feel safe here.
My problem is with posts about "meds can kill you" and the like on this board. Let's say I was suicidal and perhaps a Pdoc had scripted me a med, then I read here that meds might be bad for my health, real bad - what would I feel about that. I'm not saying "don't criticize meds". But I think that some posts are out of bounds.
Even on the recent thread about "meds can kill" etc., people got hot and words were exchanged. Other people who are in a fragile state of mind don't want to read stuff like that - I'm guessing? Am I wrong about this? Those kinds of threads don't bother me personally, I'm just trying to put myself in the shoes of a suffering person.
I invite any opinions, supporting or against. I respect SLS's opinion about it. I just feel that this board is not just "any old board". I don't know, I just want for this to be a board that people can feel at home in; a living room, not a public lavatory.
SLS can remember a few years ago when Dr Bob didn't censor the board at all. It worked for years, but one time a battle of words got going and many long-time contributers left for good. That's why we have censorship now on the board, even though many folks think it un-necessary.
