> hi jerry,
> i am finding your thread titles to be very 'triggery' and a shock to my system for some reason..could you please change the thread title from the first person "i want to.." to something else, perhaps simply a statement that the post will be about suicide or something? i'm glad you're posting your feelings..i just think a less jarring thread title might be a good idea, for everyone's mental safety. just a slight change in mindset and i might become suicidal myself..thanks much, jer.:)

>HI -
Sure. I was unaware that the wording of topics can trigger certain moods. But I don't understand what the difference would be between a post topic that said:
"I really want to end my life"
vs.
"This is about my feelings of suicide
or
"TOPIC: Suicide?"
Please don't take any of this wrong - but if I am having a crisis with feelings of suicide and how should I post? If you know certain topics like suicide are triggers for you, then why read them (if you are reading them?).
I'm just trying to understand better.
Thanks
Jerry
