First off, repeat threads ARE allowed. I know all too well what it's like to have a problem, then people just give the same advice as they did to someone else, or to be told to just look at another problem similar to mine, and the advice the people gave.
Second, you can post any problems here, not just guild topic-related ones. I will try to give the best advice I can, but I do count on fellow members to help.
Third, no judging. Don't judge someone, don't condem them just because of their problem or who they are, or if you think they need proffesional help. Just try to help them, they came to us. Whether you like them or not, they are a human life, and life is precious. In the end, it's all we have. In turn, if you the advice seeker know your problem is huge, don't expect a huge amount of advice, but rather simply people to listen, to acknowledge you, and sometimes thats all you need if you have a problem, is someone to be there for you, the shoulder to cry on.
Forth, regarding suicide. The same thing goes as in the real life issues forum, do not encourage it. But also don't just be like, "You're a coward/idiot/weakling if you think suicide is an answer." Because you are being the idiot by saying that. The only people that can truly know why suicide sounds like a good idea are the people who have been so far deep into depression that it's sounded like an option. So just listen. To you, it may be a stupid thing to do, but to them it's a smart thing to do, and you have to acknowledge that that's their opinion, not just shove your own into their face.
...Sorry, I know that was prolly a little harsh... But a kid in my grade commited suicide just last wendesday, valentines day... And I.... I was pretty depressed... Not so much because of who it was, that part I got over after the first day... But the fact that it was a life, a person my age, in my school, in my grade, thats close enough, I didn't have to know him, even tho I did, which added to the pain...
But anyways, yeah, just go by those rules, and remember, if you need help, theres ALWAYS someone you can talk to. If your problem is kind of personal, feel free to just pm me about it, or someone else. Just tell someone. I know figuring things out on your own can be considered "strong," But so can asking someone you love for help. I know that first hand.
Oh, and fifth, they don't even have to be that big of a problem. If it's bothering you, come here.
