Did she call an ambulance? No. She posted on the Internet. Forgive me if I don't subscribe to the hysteria.

If someone’s that mentally ill that she’s even thinking about killing themself they can’t be expected to be thinking about how to stop themselves rationally.

From MY personal experience, since you seem to be calling her an attention seeker based on yours, someone saying they’re going to kill themselves is more of a subconscious call for help. They’ve normalised the action in their mind so announcing it is a non event.

Generally, people who tell everyone they're going to kill themselves are the ones who are reached and treated in time to save them. Because they've told everyone and caused a big hoo ha. I'm more worried about people suffering from depression who withdraw.

Is it such a problem to worry about both?

Maybe I've known and heard about too many attention seekers to take any of them seriously. Call a friend, call an ambulance... no - post on to a bunch of people whoa re going to make this into the tragedy of the year when there was no way she was dying in the first place. That's my opinion. People die in the world every day, some in really ugly ways... I'm more concerned about them, franlky.

You say you're more worried about the silent sufferers but the disdain you show for people who come forward can affect those that suffer in silence. If someone who is suffering hears views like yours which are basically shaming people for coming forward than that can cause them to withdraw because they don't want to be seen as attention seekers.

Cupcakke reaching out as she did can inspire others to do the same, posts like yours only achieve the opposite which makes your faux concern not only laughable but dangerous.

Oh please... reaching out my arse.

I think I'm going to start a drinking game, where people take a drink every time you post about somebody's "faux" outrage, or "faux" sincerity, or whatever you're accusing them of at that time, when actually, your own posts sometimes come across as didactic and hysterical.

Based on the tweet that Reece posted it would seem she was suffering in silence for a very long time, and calling out to social media saved her life. It's a bloody good thing she didn't continue to suffer alone or got to the point where she felt as though nobody could help her... she clearly thought people could - and that's brilliant. Hopefully the backlash she is inevitably receiving won't deter like-minded sufferers from speaking out, in fear of being called a villain rather than a victim.
