> 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.???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.
