I use to browse r/suicidewatch, and someone had mentioned this forum. I lurked for awhile, as I have never really participated in forum discussion before. I'm shy, and am always afraid of saying stupid stuff. You know, that awesome low self esteem. But everyone here is so genuine, caring, and welcoming. It has actually helped me mentally to be able to express my feelings and thoughts to people. It's nice to be able to say "I wish I were dead", and not get preached to about how great life is, if I only tried.
