It does no good to tell someone to "not think that way." Taking something all the way to the conclusion and aftermath is a very effective reality check.

No, I'm okay, thanks for your concern. I feel pretty good tonight. I just knew there were several people on the forum who have depression, and that it's okay for us to discuss it openly if the need comes about. I'd guess people who feel that way need a safe place to get support and not feel judged, and this forum has been awesome for expressing less than desirable feeling. You all are incredible!
(((((((HUGS to you all)))))))))
