I am in depression so sometimes I get very cynical and very sick I go on FB to vent. I wrote multiple status posts the other day, some mentioning suicidal tenancy. In one of the posts I said I hate my life, my life suck. Well, the next day FB deleted that particular post, but left the rest untouched despite the survivors clearly are more serious mentioning suicide. I don't mind they deleted it I was going to anyway, but it's odd they would consider my own cynical comment about my life being suck as a violation of their community rule, but the rest aren't.

It sounds like you are going through a very difficult time. I hope you can get help soon. In case you get down again, below is the website and phone number for the suicide prevention hotline: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/

  Thank you. I have been struggling with this for a few months now. I have had multiple depressions in the past. I am better, with family.

    It's excellent you're feeling better, but depression with suicidal ideation is unfortunately a medical problem that doesn't go away on its own. Please consider seeking professional help right away — the sooner the better, because it will be much more difficult to motivate yourself to get help if and when the badness returns.

      Yes I do but I am actually scared to tell them. Because my last therapist said in his practice he has to report it which means I have to go back to hospital. Last time I went (well back in Feb) I was admitted under voluntary terms and while the place isn't bad it did feel like a jail because I would miss being out there hearing people on the street. I probably should write a blog post when I recover...

Not saying you are lying but if that's true there is a serious flaw in this algorithm: https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/01/facebook-brings-suicide-prevention-tools-to-live-and-messenger/ https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/01/facebook-brings-suicide-pr...

  I am not sure if someone on my friend list reported it, but yeah the rest really didn't get flagged. In multiple posts I mentioned the word suicide and the sentiment (with some good NLP) it should score a high depress/sad sentiment. BUT, my account was signed out! One other interesting factor is a friend commented on the flagged status post with the suicide prevention hotline number. I don't know if that added any weigh to the overall decision making.
