I hope she'll be ok...

Give her time. It's a ridiculously impossible situation to be in, and the reason why my signature is what it is. "Intervention" won't help, this is something she needs to figure out on her own...live, or die?

Life is so hard...but I know all too well the feeling that is having death as your last resort. Funny, while I may accept it for myself, it makes me so sad to know another is going through it...

Don't know what else to say, don't know what else can be said. I just hope she graces us with a post soon, it's so awful to give yourself a death sentence...

Here's a thought I had.

We need to get her out of that situation for awhile, to somewhere where she can clear her head and get her mind around things. Someone in a nice, relatively stress-free environment could offer to put her up for awhile. We could put together some money to get her a ticket there, as well as getting her to and from the airport.

I'd offer to put her up if I wasn't in Australia and it didn't cost a fortune to fly from the US to here. It is, however, an example of a perfect place. It's a good 3 hours from the nearest major city, it's not quite rural but not exactly urban, and, as Dr Seuss would say, "it's not very big but quite big enough, for buyers and sellers to sell and buy stuff".

My father was just the same as this in his youth. He was depressed and suicidal. The doctor gave him anti-depressants, and that night he got drunk and took the lot... woke up 4 days later. The doctor then sent him to the country for awhile to clear his mind. He fell in love with the place the moment he got there. A week later he went back to the city, transferred out to the country and never looked back.

So I say we start a collection for SpaceCase to get her to a happy, quiet place. Who's with me?

(BlueSummers: I know you say intervention won't work, but I want to try this. The spirit of Murphy's law implies that if there are two outcomes and one is undesirable, the undesirable outcome is more likely to happen. I say we don't take the chance. We need to come together to the aid of a friend in need.)

I'm with you! Someone should start a thread. The Help SpaceCase campaign or whatever.

Please don't do it! What if when you die there really is a next life & you're punished because you commited suicide & life only becomes permentately stressful? Anything can happen.......

Maybe it's alright, but I don't know if it's kosher to threaten her with punishment or try to use scare tactics, even if the punishment isn't from you.

I just want you to know, that I'm thinking about you, and that I hope that you're doing okay.

Please hang in there...my experience is that people's lives do change for the better...

Ok folks, here's the thread for my plan of intervention:

please dont kill yourself

hey.. I spoke to you a few times before, don't though, that's not the way, it'll make it worse for yourself and others around.

Spacecase, I don't know you, I just kinda got here myself. I would like to know you however. Even though I've only been on this site for a little while, I consider everyone here a kindred spirit. Just because the people around you don't care, but I care. I know that sounds like an NT insincerety, but its true. Through the power of mighty Internet, I have formed strong friendships with people I have never seen before (normally from gaming clans/guilds). These relations have held me through times when it seemed everyone around me didn't like me.

I hope to see you post on this thread soon.
