That’s... that’s an intense article.  But really good.

I’m actually worried about M r. Regular. Some of his tweets are,...concerning. Not that he is suicidal but I think he may be depressed.

(First, a joke: Thank you for burning up the last 30 minutes of my work day!)

Seriously though, that’s a fascinating, if difficult read. It’s intensely frustrating to me to read how legal concerns, s ecure portal communication requirements, billable hours and the like are major obstacles to a dirt cheap, apparently very effective and intensely human approach to suicide prevention.

Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for sharing, it really is such a massive epidemic, even here on Oppo.

So many people are just in intense need of real connection, and I’m afraid it will only get worse in this smartphone generation.

I don’t follow him. Does it seem like something’s changed? Send him a DM to let him know you’re worried about him if you feel like he’s really going through something.

That was intense! And very well written.

I've known three people this year that have taken their own lives. This makes me almost want to send a small, short Facebook message to everyone on my friends list, just to let them know that I'm thinking about them.

Very sorry to hear about your losses...

Just hoping that sharing it here will help someone to help someone in their life.

Can you DM someone that doesn’t follow you? I’ll have to look into it. Here’s a screen shot of some tweets about a week ago.

Maybe I’m over thinking it.

The only line that makes me concerned at all is “I feel lonely again”, but it does sound like he needs a real friend. Winters are tough for people without a family or close friends. At least you can tell he’s driven to get out and do stuff/try new things. If he was really depressed, he’d just be in bed all day.
