Yes, it's true that the OP came to seek us out but there's no guarantee that he will be able to successfully receive the emotional and psychological support that he wants ... Therapy and drugs aren't always the solution. He could just be in a "slump" and that he needs time to self reflect ... |
This doesn't make much sense. There is no guarantee that random people on a message board will successfully give emotional and psychological support, either. The reason everyone is saying to seek professional help is that when someone starts talking about suicidal thoughts and a general loss of interest in life, about feeling empty inside and losing connections with people who were important to him, most people don't see that as a slump.
Therapy and drugs aren't always the solution, but they are sometimes. Inaction, however, is never the solution. Instead of derailing the conversation, why don't you give your support in your own way if you don't agree with what others have stated?
