I did a lot of thinking that night and didn't know what to make of my actions. All I kept envisioning was this girl talking to her mom about what happened... having her mom say that crazy people are just "like that"....

Gah

> Well, you might have said something that you regret, but perhaps it was what the girl needed to hear. Craziness is subjective, and it makes me angry too when someone says something like that. Just because her aunt committed suicide doesn't make her crazy - and if the girl's view of her aunt's illness is indicative of the family's general view, then the aunt probably didn't have all the support she needed.

But it certainly is helpful when other people understand, especially people who are supposedly close to you. But anyway, I guess this is going off on a tangent a bit.
