have had a couple noobs put some serious posts in the pinned thread here.
this one just appeared from lost in america

i have a thought that, since this seems to happen here, where someone signs up to post, but cant start a thread, maybe we can have a newcomers thread.
i could pin it, but i think i will let it bounce a bit first.

perhaps the oldtimers can check in, then when someone new posts, it will show up for as many people as possible.

1. so- lost in america

hope you are out there, and feeling better in the morning light.

please get some serious help.
i know that we had a conversation here one time about hotline numbers, and i remember it being informative, but not much else.

i hope that now that we have reformed so much of the insurance rules for mental health that people are not afraid to go to the er when they really feel they have no where to go. personally, i feel like this would be best, and that it is immediate. you might get a 3 day stay, unlikely to be more, at least until new insurance rules start to leak down that far.

we are all good talkers here, but it is always difficult to when you see a post like this, as you just cant let people think that they can get rescued here.
you just never know what the night clerk is doing when he is supposed to be sitting this desk.

but please do talk.
everybody.

3. Oh dear. I didn't see that post.

A "welcome, introduce yourself as you are" thread is a good idea.

Take good care of yourselves, everyone -- you too, Lost In America.
