personally, this thread makes me uncomfortable as it seems to.. trivialise what is such an extreme emotion.
I can understand people posting daily on a bpd thread, they are living with an illness every day. I find it sad though when members are posting on this 'feeling suicidal' thread daily.
It is indeed sad that people feel suicidal everyday- but sometimes that is their reality. Just like BPD and depression, this is something they struggle with in their daily lives. It by no means trivialises suicide. But it also acknowledges that suicidal feelings are not fleeting. They can last a long time and increase or decrease in intensity.
There of course are also the people, myself included, who do not feel suicidal, who post in there daily in order to try to offer support, the same way as any other support thread. I just try to offer an ear and a heart to those who feel they don't have anything left to live for. I'm sorry if you feel that trivialises the subject of suicide, but i think it does the opposite.
