    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

Yeah I want to try to improve someone's mood despite the fact I don't feel like recovery. But there is still this tiny hope flickering.
Do you know any celebrity or maybe a good friend of you who lives/lived with suicidal thoughts and has not killed himself in the end (/yet).

Having suicidal thoughts must not mean that you are finally committing suicide. Some survive an attempt and then rethink their stance on it.
Winston Churchill was alledgedly suicidal. I made a short research it is not fully proved and there are experts who contratdict that. But from others I read they needed to stop him from committing suicide during his most horrible times.
Kanye West is bipolar and had psychosis as far as I know and talked openly about his suicidal thoughts.

Kevin Hines is kind of famous for his story. He survived jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge and explained his story and reasons. He says he regrets this attempt a lot and tries to give hope to others who suffer from suicidal thoughts.

Some are able to live with suicidal thoughts and can cope with it. It is pretty difficult.

Yeah this inspirational speech better belongs to recovery. I am sure sure some might consider it as annoying. I just wanted to give some people hope who don't want to commit suicide.

Sinead O'Conner is going through it right now. I'm not sure where that will go though.

Pete Davidson talks about being suicidal 24/7. Believe it or not, some of his interviews are pretty inspiring with what it is like to live with a mental illness.

I don't know if he's serious, but Oli Sykes (from Bring Me the Horizon) has mentioned suicide, addiction, and a failed marriage in numerous songs.

I think of Emil Cioran's "it is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late."

Macaulay Culkin, that boy has been through a lot. I happy to see him clean and off drugs now. But he was way down for many years.

Daniel Johns springs to mind. He said therapy saved him.

Just remembered another well-known example: Elton John. In the late '60s, he was supported through a suicidal phase relating to his career and sexuality by fellow musician Long John Baldry, and ultimately wrote a song about the incident entitled Someone Saved My Life Tonight.
