Deneb,
First, thanks for the **trigger** warning here. It's good and important you remembered to do that, but...
It isn't a license to express yourself any way you want. Placing the phrase *tee-hee* in front of a question such as you asked above comes across as pretty insensitive.
Suicide is NOT funny to pdocs, other T's, family and friends of those who attempt or complete, or for those fighting those urges all the time. Laughing, joking, or otherwise making light of it in any way just has no place here.
I know you struggle sometimes at understanding what's okay to post or not, especially around this subject. I'm sure you didn't even think when you typed *tee-hee,* that's why I'm pointing it out. I know you don't have bad intentions. But you have to be careful and thoughtful.
I read your posts because I like you and like to read ALL your posts, and because *triggery* subjects are something I can generally handle right now.
But even I can't remain silent when a poster appears to be giggling about the horrible situation of pdocs who may have had patients kill themselves.
Also, just say Dr. Bob had experienced this tragedy...are you thinking about his feelings when you write your posts? That's a really important thing to work on doing..imagining how the reader will feel.
Does this make sense? Are you doing okay?
I'm trying to help, Deneb.
