innocuous77: How does one say no?
I really really mean that. It doesn't help that I'm a fucking psych professor. She just wanted to die and called me. Me?
I'd hurl myself off my own roof if my cats didn't need attention. I hate people that much right now.
Like I said, hug?
superstande: hugs for you!
if it helps, I believe that the best of the best have tried to, and failed to, help others.
Unless we are perfect creatures there's always room for error while trying to give our best to a someone who is having mad problems... It's the intention that counts in my book. But sometimes it's (probably) best not to try too much, if it makes you crazy.
I personally have some experience. Stopped a suicide once, when I was 17. But really, that was almost pure luck & happened to be around.
Hey, it's weekend, let's play som'!
Weekend? I forgot that! But yes, yes it is...
I'm thinking dragons are just like flies... and I'm in armor of honey.
Wait... that sounded better in my head...
Wait again... no, it didn't.
dammit
innocuous77: I've honestly tried that. I say that on day 1. Yet, here I am again... helping people.
Fuck humanity. I need to kill dragons...
And #4> The Rite of Spring? You've evil....
CarrionCrow: You have to have boundaries.
Hell, I'd be pointblank about it, tell the entire class that if they present a problem like that, I'm going to direct them to a suicide hotline and if it sounds severe enough I'll call the authorities.
Take control, don't let them drag you into scenarios you don't want to be involved in.
Honey... you know my cats. I've never had control of anything, ever.
innocuous77: For some reason, that makes me smile.
CarrionCrow: I just like the idea of some dumbshit making fun of them to their face, 2.3 seconds before they get laser Ginsu'd.
That makes me laugh so loud I scared Toshi. Ouch.
superstande: hugs for you!

CarrionCrow: I've been playing Anomaly Defenders. Can't say it makes me suicidal, but I
really want to drink to dull the pain of the experience. =)
Dear sweet CC... if I hated humanity as much as I think I do... two worlds. Worst voice acting ever. I might play it right now.
