> I meant that if there were consequences to threatening suicide, she might have to learn and GROW and GET HEALTHIER.
And 'growing' and 'getting healthier' would mean what exactly?
There is not adequate evidence to show that intervention assists one 'grow' and / or 'get healthier'.
There is also some evidence to show that intervention can be harmful.
If by getting healthier you mean stopping 'threatening suicide' or posting about suicide on these boards. Stopping thinking about suicide. then you might want to think about how these may well be things that you value, yet they might not eb things that Deneb and others value.
Deneb has said that she doesn't want anyone to interveane.
Do you presume to know what is better for her than she does?
If your concern is for Deneb...
Then how about posting to her and being her friend.
Accepting who she is
And not trying to modify her behaviour so that it conforms to other peoples values....
