But what if certain people on this forum are able to physically intervene? And, what if we know for certain that this person is suicidal? I'm just very confused. I always thought the responsible thing to do would be to get that person the help they need because they are in a position where they can't do it by themselves due to the deep depression.

Personally, I can't just sit by while someone holds a gun to their head. I understand that people's reaction to these situations will vary. I'm just not one to say "oh well, there's nothing I can do". I think people should at least try. There is nothing malicious in trying to help someone (even though that person may think right now that she doesn't want help - but that's mighty faulty thinking).

Please, no one take that personally, they're simply my own moral standards, and we all have a different code by which we live.

Best,
Rachel
