Hi Deneb,

I think it’s OK to say all these things. But it REALLY helps if you put a trigger warning in the subject line whenever you talk about suicide or self injury.
People here are very supportive. But (speaking for myself) it’s hard to be supportive if I’m freaking out because the words in your post triggered me.
If you put a trigger warning in the subject line, I can take a deep breath and prepare for what may be coming before I click on a post.
If there’s no trigger warning in the subject line and I see words about suicide or self injury I might feel suddenly shocked and then it’s hard for me to reply.
As far as I can tell, there aren’t any subjects that are prohibited here. The important thing is that everyone is sensitive to the feelings of others.
I’m sorry you feel doomed. I hope you’re feeling better soon.
