I think this is a great idea.
If you visit OCAU, they have a similar thread in 'the pub' which seems quite popular.
Anyway, +1 for the idea.
Hi,
I know what you are saying/requesting... but....
... this is a public forum and we always see the all too common short-sightedness and lack of consideration that is often displayed in peoples posts. So, not sure how it will survive without some ridicule from someone.Originally Posted by 4DaDrift

I suspect that people will modify their own behaviour in that kind of thread and be more sensible and constructive in what they add to it... also, maybe the mods' tollerance for allowing such ridicule should be lowered accordingly.Originally Posted by river
I'm sure it could be made to work. It'd be sad if you canned the idea before looking into it.

No offense intended, but don't you think there are enough Emo haunts out there if you want to have a cry?
The only value i see this forum contributing to this very serious issue is a thread that would have a single post listing the number for Lifeline. It is presumptuous, not to mention dangerous, to assume that a random collection of misguided advice is going to help anyone.
Dud advice, however well intended, provided elsewhere on this forum will not (generally) lead to someone's death.

You seriously give me neg rep for a harmless little joke? lol.
Mate look, yes everyone has thier problems and i admit that yes, right now i have a lot of problems. Yes, it's a good idea that you want to do something positive..
...But a PUBLIC forum is not the place that I would be airing out my dirty laundry.
You have completely misunderstood my post. My exact point was this is a serious issue and what you have proposed, to my mind, trivialises it. I also believe it would turn into a "cry over frivolous garbage' within 6 posts. The small % of serious issues that might arise would best be dealt with elsewhere....you clearly have proposed a senario to replace professional helpOriginally Posted by 4DaDrift
As for my own mental health, that is my business and you have no idea what i am capable of.....a perfect example of where your well intentioned but misguided assumptions could do more harm than good.
I understand you propose this with good intentions but i am of the view they are naive in the extreme.

I'd go for it, but i'm a bit of a soft cock!

The few times I've been involved with serious mental health issues, I really don't think chatting publicy about it over an internet forum would have significantly changed the outcomes. But hey, I could be wrong.
