Well, careful with words, because I don't think it would be better for her to stop posting things like that. I don't want her to stop posting about anything, I just thought she was asking for help. I'm really sad that she's been blocked and she can't talk here right now. That's really scary and I'm hoping she has someone to help her right now.Would you argue against that??? That she would be best off getting help? We can go back and forth about this until we are blue in the face, but I don't understand the point anymore. Any way I look at it, I still come to the conclusion that a suicidal person needs help. Am I forcing my worldview on that person? I guess I am, but with the intention of easing their pain.
