T/W suicide attempt

Hi everyone

Thank you for thinking of me

Im really sorry I haven’t been around much. I’ve been getting into trouble a lot on here lately and I’m not really confident in posting. I don’t feel I’m worthy of being on here and I’m not feeling overly comfortable here. But I’m going to write this anyway. I need to get it out.

@moderator please put a trigger warning box as I don’t know how to on my phone. Or delete if inappropriate.

My CM and myself believe the only reason I made it was because Pixie licked my face and nudged me. Pixie is my saviour. I think she saved my life. I’m not sure whether it was a good thing or not.

I do feel really selfish and thoughtless of others in my life. It was inconsiderate of me to nearly put everyone through that. Especially at such a difficult time for my family.

Just an update as to where I’m at.

Hey @Captain24 ,

Thank you for the update. We are sorry to hear how hard it has been for you, but we are glad you are here.

As for posting about suicide, you did the right thing by adding a trigger warning and asking for a spoiler to be added. This can be done by highlighting the text you want hidden, and clicking the spoiler icon at the top - the triangle with the exclamation mark in it.

It is okay to share about SH and suicide as long as it doesn't specify details and it is not something that is happening in the moment.

One thing for everyone to remember is that when you cannot guarantee your own safety, then it's time to take a break from the forums.

It's also a good habit to let the community know you are safe by adding, "I'm safe for now" at the bottom of your post. This means readers will not be left concerned about your safety. Once again, if members are not able to let the community know they are safe (because they perhaps aren't safe), then it's time to take a break from the forums.

This is not to push people away when they are in a difficult space, but so that they can reach out to services that can help including Lifeline, Suicide Callback or 000. As a peer-led forum, working with crisis is beyond our scope which means we end up having to contact crisis services as well.

I hope this makes sense to everyone.

Feel free to email us at team@saneforums.org if you have any questions about safe-posting.

Hugs, Captain!

Did I do something wrong again? @tyme

Thanks for the update @Captain24

I'm sorry you had to go through all of that, but glad you are still with us.

I hope things turn around for you soon and that you are safe.

Have been thinking of you 💗💗

Thanks for the info @tyme I am sometimes unsure too of what I can post.

I hope your day is going well.

No no! You did well! Nothing wrong at all @Captain24 🙂

Hey @Snowie ,

So good to see you. It's great having you.

I had a relaxing day today. My hayfever is playing a bit of havoc, but all good otherwise. I went on a very long walk this morning. It was great to catch up with my neighbour because usually I'm so busy.

Then what's better to spend my afternoon and evening with you all! @Snowie @Captain24 @outlander 🙂
