->''"Now I should mention that there are users on [a forum that reinforces and encourages suicidal impulses] who are ''not'' toxic, who are just looking for a place where they can speak freely and feel listened to. And the reason they're on the site is partly due to an unhelpful stigma surrounding this topic. People are very often ashamed to discuss feelings of wanting to end their own lives openly, which is a poor reflection on society as a whole. Now to name one stigma, mentioned by Professor Rory O'Connor, it's way to commonly derided as a 'selfish' act, which in turn makes it far less likely that people will bring it up for fear of being chastised or shunned. Instead, he suggests, the act is '''way''' more likely to be carried out in a moment of desperation by those in crisis, who can no longer withstand severe mental pain and who are unable to see beyond that pain in the moment."''

Because the people you want to strike back at are the very same folks who won't even remember you a week after you're gone, while the people you want to spare most -- the people who love you -- are the ones who will have to live with the pain of your suicide for the rest of their lives."''
