I meant find other alternatives to pain than threatening or attempting suicide...like finding therapy...or asking for help...or getting help...

I didn't stop to contemplate the 'adequate evidence' when I pointed Dr Bob in the direction of Deneb's thread. I saw a person in danger and thought it might be good to get her help.

???Could you explain to me what you mean by this? That others don't want to stop thinking about suicide? That some people threaten suicide and want to continue to keep doing so? This is news to me if that is what you are saying. I thought that being suicidal was a state of anguish that all or most of us wanted to be out of. Maybe I am wrong.
