Morning. And thanks for all the reports about this thread.
We do understand that some folks may find discussions of this kind distressing (((((hugs))))) and we hope that you will take advantage of the 'hide thread' button to hide it from your view of Active Convos.
We also understand that some people are worried about others who might find this discussion distressing but we do think the thread title is worded obviously enough to give folks fair warning of what the discussion is about and the sort of comments it's likely to contain.
That said, we do join others in strongly urging those few posters who've posted their own suicidal feelings on this thread to seek real-life help.
We know that many posters are immensely supportive and sensible in these situations, but, as we at MNHQ do not check the knowledge, experience or professional qualifications of anyone posting on Mumsnet Talk, this is not necessarily the best place to seek help if you're feeling seriously distressed or suicidal. Instead, we'd urge you to look at our mental-health web guide which can point you to expert advice and support.
Finally, we do need to remind you all that personal attacks do break our guidelines. We do utterly appreciate that this is a immensely emotive subject but we're sure you can all find ways to express your own point of view without attacking other posters personally.
Do please report any personal attacks to us and we will delete them (if they are indeed personal attacks).
Please do also report any posts that might concern you in other ways: we do, of course, welcome threads where ignorance/misapprehension of serious mental-health issues can be corrected/debunked but we would tend to delete posts that are beyond the pale (eg: "suicidal folk are selfish: we're well rid of them").
