Crying Wolf
How many times must a person cry wolf before it comes to the point where no one is willing to help anymore? How many times must a person say I am going to kill myself NOW before people look at it and just say yup, just another post? It's been getting to the point lately where all I've seen on the threads is I'm going to die this day, I'm going to kill myself now, or I'm going to OD in 12 hours. It's to the point where I've become skeptical of these threads and these people and I don't like feeling that way about other people, I want to feel that their feelings are genuine and that they really are in pain or really hurting. I don't bother reading these posts anymore which makes me sad. What happens when the time comes and you are really in pain? What happens when you reach out for help, will anyone be there? My feeling is if a person really wanted to die, really wanted to kill themselves, they wouldn't post they were going to off themselves on the thread, they'd go do what they felt they needed to do. I'll give an example, my dad's friend from work recently was battling a divorce, he didn't tell anyone, he didn't even leave a note, he just went and killed himself. I'm not saying that this is what I want for anyone at all, I'd rather you come here and post that you are hurting and that you are in need of someone to talk to or someone to even post to your thread to try and help. What I am saying is that post what you are feeling and why you are feeling that way, not that you are going to die in x amount of hours or that you are going to do it now. I feel that if you do post that kind of material you are looking for instant gratification that you are loved which clearly many people do care about you because they have posted numerous times. I don't know maybe it's me being my skeptical, paranoid self, always having to question why people do things, but think about hte question at hand, how many times can you cry wolf before enough is enough??? Thoughts and opinions please??
