Agreed, but anyone who has contemplated suicide needs to get proper counselling and support from their friends. Note that no one else has taken this 'attacking' perspective.

This kind of thing can really backfire.

i dont think it was a kick up the bum post somehow :(

Hard to say, Paul, I think I agree with Stu it would have been more appropriate in a PM.

Bug Infestation: If you post like that again you're gone form this forum okay.

Re: what to do ?
 

well that kinda covers it i reckon :tu:

Re: what to do ?
 

No matter what people say giving someone who is depressed a 'kick up the bum' to try and 'snap him out of it' is the worst thing you can do ever.

Re: what to do ?
 

That is quite right. Been there, done that, and got the t-shirt.

Re: what to do ?
 

Check out 'Bug's' previous posts (there aren't many)....he doesn't exactly come over as a 'caring' type IMO !! :shrug:

In any event a quick insight by Bug wouldn't go amiss into just how well he knows Kronas and on what basis he made his post. :rolleyes:

Re: what to do ?
 

Worked for me, why shouldn't it for others? I'm beginning to wonder if Bug Infestation is my mother because that's exactly what she sounds like at times and to be frank, I thank her for that, mollycoddling me would have done absolutely no good whatsoever and I'd have probably wallowed in self pity for even longer. But anyway, different people deal with 'depression' in different way's and I'd be quite surprised if there was anyone on this forum medically qualified to treat his symptoms .. having said that though, I do agree that it should have kept to a PM but then I also think that this thread shouldn't have been aired publically either, I'm sure he's been here long enough to realise who he can and can't send a private message to get advice over this.

sometimes it is best to deal with thoughts along the lines of

a)Is it fair?

b)Is it hepfull?

c)Is it true?

Re: what to do ?
 

i just felt it was time for taz to hear a proper solution to his problem. what he needs to hear is the truth, not people pussy footing around it.

i find it funny that some users, (not you scastle, not the mods either) can't accept a harsh response, or the truth though

Re: what to do ?
 

dont you think you were just a tiny bit over the top though :(

Re: what to do ?
 

sorry - I didn't mean I was condoning that approach, just questioning whether the intent of the post was as malicious as it appeared at face value? A mistake, but with good intentions, as it where?

Re: what to do ?
 

i see kronas just about every day and he is one of my best friends

there's a "small insight" for you :)

Re: what to do ?
 

It's not the harsh response that the more mature members are aghast at (I don't think), it's probably the sharing of his personal history.
