If someone says "you guys are better off without me" should I be worried she's suicidal? I checked a suicide prevention website and didn't recognize any of the other signs.
Laga, don't be embarrassed to ask if your friend has a plan.
Contrary to popular belief, thoughts about suicide, and even talking about it, is normal. Making a 'plan' for killing oneself is the line crossing beyond which is a problem.
If you feel your friend is in danger of developing a plan, give her this link (http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/).
If worse comes to worst and you believe she is in imminent danger of harming herself, consult your local mental health services. The numbers are in the front of your phone book, or of course, on the web.
As long as I'm giving stuff away, does anyone want a reading-chimp bookend like the one in Wonderfalls? I have two, and really, one is all you need.
Laga, I was in a press to get the info typed out for you, and forgot to say that it is good of you to care about your friend and to want to know how to help. It's a tough spot to be in, I know.
I've been through it before, with other friends, so I may be overreacting. But I think it's better to care too much.
Actually, Zen, I bought a pair and gave one to a friend. But I have wishes for another. I know, I know. I just have more than one room that needs one. So I'd love it but if anyone without a Brass Monkey wants it, they deserve priority.
But I think it's better to care too much.
Yes, absolutely.
I need writing cheerleading. Should I request hairpats and encouragement in GWW, or is it okay if I whine here?
Jilli, Jilli, she's our Goth
If she can't do it, go to Hoth!
Bwah! Thank you, P-C.
I have 292 out of 4K words written. And we have a social commitment for this evening. I know I work well under pressure, but wow, I don't know if I can magic up 4K of steampunk adventure by tomorrow night.
