The Place to Go for Emotional Support

Like I said, suicide cases need to be dealt with by trained professionals. No one can just say the magic words and make a person stop considering suicide. Even if you cheer them up in one instance, the root cause hasn’t been addressed.

This I disagree a bit with.

You don’t need to be professionally trained to talk about suicide. To raise the subject. Often this is the first step to suicide prevention.
Every geographical area has their suicide hotlines, The Samaritans etc. I go around with a half a dozen cards with helpline numbers on them.
If you see someone looking distressed say hi and chat with them a bit and don’t be worried to raise the subject of suicide. If it’s something they are thinking about already you talking about it will not promote the idea. If it’s something they aren’t thinking about you won’t be putting the idea in their head. If they want you to mind your own business respect that too and walk away with the knowledge that you bothered to show an interest (sometimes you may be the first or only person to do this and may make a difference just for doing that).
In the long term professional help and trained voluntary services are the way to go but in the very short term don’t let a lack of training get in the way of daring to show an interest.
If you feel like you have a bit of free time look around for suicide prevention training because it’s usually free and interesting and could save lives.

Sorry to see you leave the forum Ady, but to quote Obi-Wan, “You must do what you feel is right, of course.”

Given that Obi-Wan says that as a passive aggressive guilt trip, I’m not sure that’s the best quote to use. Lol

Particularly as it only worked in the context of a slaughtered family and dozens of murdered innocent used droid salespersons. I’m no expert on tact but… 😄

One is reminded of Tommy Cooper’s arm.
TOMMY : I’ve hurt my arm in several places
THE DOCTOR : ‘well don’t go there any more’

Don’t feel extra pressure to finish anything.
It will just suck the joy out of your success, those who have waited will still wait and those who can’t wait will still wait and will be the first to download the final product.

When it happens you will doubtlessly get more people helping your hobby out with the occasional donation.

Just do a little bit each day so you know you are progressing but stop when it gets weary making.

Change down, man. Find your neutral space. You gotta rush. It’ll pass. Be seated.

Sure, but DE is specifically referring to the KJV-only people. There was a church not far from my (Bible) college that had a sign that insisted if you weren’t reading KJV you were going to hell.

Ha, that’s crazy. Do people who don’t speak english have only an eternity in the fiery depths of hell to look forward to?

It was misprint.
It was Hull which is a bit grim but nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be.
