Hello visitors from Google, please read this important message from the Shroomery Staff:
Suicidal thoughts are common during different phases of life, but even in the deepest depths of abysmal despair and utter hopelessness, people emerge to find a sense of peace and a gratifying life worth living. In this day and age we have great means to alleviate mental or physical anguish and suffering, even compared to five years ago. We implore you to consider less permanent and devastating solutions.
Acute suicidal thoughts and concrete planning constitute a valid medical emergency and should preferentially be dealt with by medical specialists. A web community lacks the professional attitude and effective strategies to handle such emergencies. It is of little use, and perhaps unfair, to lay this situation on strangers who are powerless to help. If you are in this kind of emergency, please reach out to your friends and loved ones and get trained assistance. It is legitimate to call 911 (USA), 112 (Europe) or your regional emergency services if necessary.
For non-acute matters of life and health, please feel free to post here (anonymously if you like). We have members and moderators who are eager to listen and provide support. Many people find it therapeutic just to honestly discuss their problems with an empathetic audience.
Please be safe, and if at all possible, stay with us for many more years to come.
-- The Shroomery Administrators & Moderators
