In my experience, depression doesn't mean you're likely to put on a show.

As I said to Adam, who also spoke in utter ignorance on this matter, people react to suicidal tendencies in different ways, some reach out and others don't. What we don't need is people like you who call people reaching out in whatever ways they can attention seekers. We should encourage people to come forward in whatever ways they can because garnering the world's attention is a better option than dying in silence.

Posts and attitudes like yours are just plain dangerous and way more hazardous to prevention than anything else.
