Hi @Former-Member,
You are right, it is world suicide prevention day. I heard a bit about it on the radio today. I'm not sure why it hasn't come up in conversation here in Forum Land. Perhaps it is because it is Sunday and the weekends tend to be a bit quieter around here compared to during the week. I'm glad you raised the topic.

Hi @Former-Member,
I'm glad you raised this too. It's a good reminder to check in with a friend / family member who might be low and thinking about suicide. Or that person may be ourselves.
Suicidal thinking and behaviour is a regular topic here on the forum, and the community is amazing in supporting members through those dark days. Getting comfortable with talking about it to others enables one to seek and accept help.
If someone on the forum is talking about suicidal thoughts or feeling unsafe, we always recommend they call a helpline service straight away, such as Beyond Blue: 1300 224 636 or Lifeline: 13 11 14.
Let's keep everyone safe 🙂
kind regards,
Froginthepond
