The article is here, and feel free to throw this graphic around as much as you like.
Since I'm posting this in GD, let me expand on the article and reddit thread above:
We pick on one another here in GD. We poke, troll, and generally argue till we're breaking keyboards (up to 5 here). And, maybe, some of us go too far sometimes.
The point is, though, that I bet if I contacted anyone here in GD and told them I was depressed and thinking of hurting myself, they'd be there to listen and would get me the help I needed.
If you need help, broadcast. Let someone know.

Pass them off to the professionals and disengage before you become their primary contact, because once that happens, you need to be available 24/7 for months.
This is actually true. Although it feels selfish or harsh, the most important thing you can do is make sure you get the person into the hands of professional folks as soon as possible. You are not passing the buck - if someone truly is on the brink, get them trained help.
That said, Rowell's comment is equally true: if someone reaches out to you, don't drop the ball and expect "someone else will take care of it". Stay with them till they are in pro hands. http://www.thecoffeerocks.com Twitter: @thecoffeerocks |-áSteam: CoffeeRocks-á https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&find=unread&t=327221 |

This entire thread/article/reddit-naught spurned a conversation when a newbie asked "What is Plex for Good?"
Holy hell, they stopped at "can we do this again so we can see the devs get shot with paintballs again?!?"
I'm so proud of our little newbie nuggins. http://www.thecoffeerocks.com Twitter: @thecoffeerocks |-áSteam: CoffeeRocks-á https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&find=unread&t=327221 |

I've had depression all of my life, and while I've never been suicidal or one to self harm, the point at which I would have been closest to that was when I had no friends to speak of because I had become so withdrawn - rarely leaving my room or interacting with anyone. Well I've been far deeper than you and let me tell you, it ain't worth it. **** everyone and **** everything. If you ever change your mind, here's a thread full of people you can talk to. It may not be much but it's better than nothing, in my opinion.
+1 - to you both.
Riot Girl, I'm not here to change your mind. Just to say, f***, I've been there. A few times. I'm way better these past few years, and it's only because I have a few close people that anchor me. I don't know if I'd be here without them.
James is right, this thread of white-knighters and cutthroat bas****s - we'd all be here to listen. http://www.thecoffeerocks.com Twitter: @thecoffeerocks |-áSteam: CoffeeRocks-á https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&find=unread&t=327221 |
