I don't agree with you at all. I don't think think acting on impulse is somehow an indicator of deeper feelings that we only feel a shadow of.
For me trying to get help for someone who announces he's trying to kill himself isn't really a choice. He takes the choice away when he announces it on a public forum.
I suspect this gesture relieved a certain amount of pain and anxiety and that what he feels now is probably only a shadow of what people who struggle with the same feelings and resist are feeling.
I don't really have anything further to add to this discussion. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, AprilA has left the babble.
