Should I carry on ignoring the thread?

I usually invest in a good weather radio in trying times like this.

I'm down with DwnWthVwls on this. I usually tend to keep my Internet postings separate from uber-personal threads like this because I don't like getting involved in others' personal problems, even if I want to tell someone to stop engaging in self-destructive behavior. It's not my place, and what is it really going to do anyway unless that person takes direct action to fix his/her problems? To even try to help Frownland like I did is causing me anxiety. If you're only recourse is strangers online, something isn't balanced in your personal life, and I don't think that's healthy. It's kind of like a doctor/patient relationship where you have to maintain a separation of interests. The sentiment was relayed earlier in the thread, but you have to look within yourself for solace. You can write that off as a cliche, but then what happens? Nothing, unless you make whatever it is you want to happen, happen.
