this is pretty sad.

i agree with madamez. if you cant cope with it, hide it, dont look. but dont try to cut the possibly last/only ribbon of hope in some peoples minds. its not fair to say 'take your misery elsewhere, its bringing me down'. i bet youre nowhere near as down about it as the person feeling it.
ouch.

Ummm, pardon me for butting in on this very lengthy debate, but one actively suicidal person has now cancelled her MN membership thanks to this thread. So there is one less avenue of support for someone who needs it.

Was the timing of this thread really wise? (regardless of whatever is decided here).

Sending an email to posters who are feeling suicidal is not helpful, in my opinion. And I am speaking as someone who has posted on here with such feelings. Chances are that someone who feels that way will have thought of seeking help (ie the Samaritans) before posting on here. Posting on here is easier and can be more helpful - you are anonymous and usually get a sympathetic and friendly response. I understand that it might make some people feel uncomfortable. In that case, don't read the threads. When I post on here regarding such issues it is to 'speak' to people who have felt similar feelings, not to be told to go elsewhere or to be partonised by someone who hasn't been there or doesn't understand.

wotulookinat · 30/05/2008 23:03

DG is right. Somebody was really in need of some support tonight.

ScoobyDoo · 30/05/2008 23:04

Oh no sorry my post was purly from reading the whole thread i was not in anyway replying to dumbledoresgirl, her post was not there when i did that arghhh sorry

ScoobyDoo · 30/05/2008 23:05

Blimey lapin i am not that nasty you know, god you really must think bad of me to think i would say that to DDG post

DumbledoresGirl · 30/05/2008 23:05

LOL scooby! You saved me writing a very acid reply!

But anyway, I just wanted to say what I did. I don't know if it will matter to anyone here, but it matters to me.

ScoobyDoo · 30/05/2008 23:07

I actually after reading the whole thread & it has taken me agggges! thought Ohhhh in my head so i write it before i replied.

One thing which is totally playing on my mind though thats those in need are now not going to come here, which is bad & sad news.

Now after reading your post it confirms it ddg because i have seen what your friend has written & i feel upset by the fact she feels she has to leave when she is in need of support

I think it is important that posters knows that mumsnet is here, and will be here when the struggle the most, and that the support will NOT stop when they struggle the worst.

I was wondering if this would be the outcome of this thread.

berolina · 30/05/2008 23:10

Nappies, I really don't think anyone is saying 'take your misery elsewhere, it's bringing me down'.

ScoobyDoo · 30/05/2008 23:10

Ah don't worry, no it was a response to the whole thread as in a very silent "oooohh no" & not really knowing what to say or even if i wanted to say anything.

In fact i think i may have to give mn a bit of a miss for a while because all this stuff is grinding me down a bit, no i don't mean these threads i just mean the "whole" of mn.

whats going on

QuintessentialShadows · 30/05/2008 23:11

berolina, that is exactly the undercurrent I sense is coming from some posters.

ScoobyDoo · 30/05/2008 23:11

Cod you sure started a mega debate here but i prey to god people don't feel they can't post because of this thread!

CodGuevara · 30/05/2008 23:15

wotulookinat · 30/05/2008 23:16

Cod have you been drinking???

expatinscotland · 30/05/2008 23:16

my advice is to step away from the PC now!

berolina · 30/05/2008 23:17

no QS. I really don't see it. I am very much in two minds about this issue - see my posts - but I really feel it's unfair to represent posters such as FIS and slubber, who have made a great deal of very thoughtful and considered posts on this thread, as uncaring and inhumane.

This kind of immensely sad and worrying situation is not best served by MN, for all sorts of reasons. When we are faced with it, however, it is our responsibility to respond with care and compassion. This thread has had a for the most part very thoughtful discussion about how best that might be achieved, and tbh it has reversed some of my current disillusionement about MN.

CodGuevara · 30/05/2008 23:17

er yes
one kir royale
two glasses of sauv blan

QuintessentialShadows · 30/05/2008 23:17

Cod, what are you saying, it is entertaining to the newbies, but serious stuff to the old timers?

I think that is what she is saying.
