hello,

i don't think many people will see this thread... so, in the future, if you want the person to elaborate, you can post a reply directly to whatever they've posted, and ask for one.

also, sometimes when people say things like "i want to die," if they really feel that way, they might not have the energy/desire to say why... because they're not in the mood. if they want to die, why should they have to explain? if they feel this way, offer comfort. a post like the one you've written here will only create more distance, and will likely make them feel worse.

thanks for wanting to help. i do understand your point of view... but don't forget that others have their own... =)

take care*

The only mentally ill people, who can rationalize their problems in a discussion, would probably be ones that are, already cured.

Just my opinion, though.
