I often write that I am suicidal (and I am), but it doesn't mean that I am going to act on my thoughts. And if I have plans to act on my thoughts, I would NEVER write about it here.
I think there should be a policy re. this issue. One member had me really upset and if Phillipa had not posted that he was okay I would still be wondering and concerned.
