If you have reached this post because you are feeling suicidal, please go directly and immediately to the first section on this forum.  We have put together a section that will direct you to PROFESSIONALS that can offer you the help you need.  We urge you to please do it now!  To forum members:

We fully realize that many members on this forum are at an early stage of recovery and are still quite depressed themselves.  Therefore, we recognize that many individuals are not in the proper state of mind or at a point in their recovery where they can personally offer help.

We only ask you to take one simple step.  Should you be the first person to come across a post from an individual stating that they are suicidal, please inform them that we have a special section at the top of the board for crisis/suicide intervention and that they should go there now to find the professional help they need.

It is totally up to you to decide if you wish to have further involvement at that moment.  All we ask is that rather than letting a post sit unanswered, that a minimal post with proper redirection is sent.

Thank you.
