In my opinion censorship of any kind renders the discussion useless and precludes honest exchange.
If WP practices it I can't imagine it having any value for people in crisis. |

| I use Exit International for information on this topic. I have been considering hastening my death. I'm 72, almost 73 and find it increasingly difficult to find a reason to continue living other that the expression of family and a couple of friends that it would somehow be difficult for them. I was ... |

Suicidal ideation is just that, the idea of suicide.
Please don't confuse that with the earnest desire to end the pain of depression.
I suppose every thinking person from Hamlet on has had the idea of suicide occur to them with more or less thought or even study resulting. |

| Such idiots. I wouldn't wish real depression on anyone, however, anyone who says something stupid like "it is the easy way out" just has not had a very serious depression, that is one thing I am fairly sure about. I shouldn't say stupid, ignorant is more to the point. They are not idiots either, I j... |

| Most of the time I don't talk about it, especially to NT types. I write all the time, journal type stuff, nothing that I would imagine anyone would want to read. I write because it seems to help, it fills up my mind and I don't think of other things. Even in my writing I get tired of repetitious mat... |

| Unable to be around people without anxiety, depression, wanting to get away by myself, no clue how to have social communication. I do ok if I have a "role". General tendency to overdo whatever allows me to not think about my state of consciousness. Little or capacity for "balanced" life. Cyclothymia... |
