Mental Illness...
I've been diagnosed with moderate depression (aka dysthmia), adjustment disorder with mood imbalance and situational depression. I've been on quite a few support websites for mental illness. I even help to moderate a suicide prevention forum.
This is a resource guide for if you don't know what to say to someone that is suicidal:
http://www.reddit.com/r/SWResources/comm..._are_some/
http://www.reddit.com/r/SuicideWatch (this might be a good place to direct people if they dont want to call the hotline)
I guess that's all I have to say, but in my time looking around the internet, it's only become clear to me that people have no idea what to say to those with mental illness and say the exact wrong thing, so this thread, being a supportive thread is something I approve of highly.
