I don't understand it.

[Floogeldy]

1. I hope I don't understand it.

:smoke:

[auntAgonist]

2. me too !

i'm worried

[Mojambo]

3. It doesn't sound good

I hope they haven't done something rash.

[KitchenWitch]

4. dunno

hope the person is not planning something irreversible.

[Pithlet]

5. I don't either

I hope the person isn't suicidal. That was my first thought.

[LastKnight]

that dosent look very good...

i am concearned.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

9. The poster has disabled their profile.

[lenidog]

15. SHIT!! That is so not of the good!!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

6. One person has already alerted the mods.

[auntAgonist]

11. I did that immediately too ..

don't know if it will help..

[Duncan Grant]

7. Always best to send an alert to the mods.

Glad you caught this auntAgonist! :thumbsup:
(Yes, I did alert...)

[lenidog]

8. I am hoping that I am not understanding it

because if I am that means someone is going to try and commit suicide.

[Droopy]

10. That person sounds like he/she is in trouble

The post has a psychotic edge to it and an allusion to suicide.

[auntAgonist]

12. definately crying out for some help

I alerted right away, hopefully there's a mod who can do something .. anything ...

[Liberal In Texas]

13. Thanks....that weirded me out.

(just when I was beginning to have fun with the Simpson characters...)

[Crazy Guggenheim]

14. EVERYONE GET OVER TO THAT POST RIGHT NOW!!

PLEASE!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

16. I think we have her talking.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

17. I think we have her talking.

[orleans]

18. the thread got locked

i wanted to ask what she was either drinking or swallowing when she said "heads up and cheers"

she might need to go to the hospital.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

21. Yeah she did say that come to think of it. Hmmmm.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

19. The thread just got locked out! think the moda are taking care

of it.

[LastKnight]

20. i dont know how much taking care of

the mods can seriously do... i mean they gave them a phone number... but i think thats all they can do. i donno if locking the thread is a good idea... however within the guidelines it was.

[knowbody0]

22. she said "i have a couple of hours left"

man oh man, i hope she's ok.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

25. She said a few hours. But it still sounds about right though.

[orleans]

26. if the mods have her phone number

they could call the local police, explain the situation and request a WELL BEING CHECK be done on this person.

i'm sure the police would glad to make sure she is okay.

if there is a problem they could call the paramedics.

[LastKnight]

27. thats the thing, would they have the phone number?

i suppose they could go about getting it maybe, from an IP address. i honestly dont know.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

28. They can find out where she lives forn the IP address.

[lenidog]

30. I don't know how they would have her phone number

but she was a donor so maybe they could work her location through that.

[lenidog]

23. I don't know what the mods can do

I know we aren't therapists but dammit we had her talking and thats important. I mean just giving her a number could be like saying to her screw off now and leave us alone.

[LastKnight]

29. im not critisizing the mods at all...

they are just doing their jobs, and doing things by the rules. i just honestly dont know if there is anything they can do, thats all im saying.

[lenidog]

31. I realize that but it just seems wrong

I am no expert but I used to work the phones at a teen crisis hotline we would at least talk to them a while before sending them to the proper place for help. It wasn't like "Hi there go to these people for help please. We really can't talk to you."

[Droopy]

It could be some kind of legal thing

The admin may just be protecting themselves from possible lawsuits because they didn't deal with a person who is possibly suicidal in the right way. Or the person got some bad advice from somebody here that led to their demise.

[LastKnight]

34. yea, thats what i suspect.

i just wish there was something we could do, ive pm'ed the individual, as im sure many have... but no response.

[lenidog]

37. Very good point

Didn't think of that

[Liberal In Texas]

24. That was scarry. By the time I got there and realized what was up

it was locked.

Kind of wouldn't know what to say "type" anyway.

Wow....and wooosh....I wish them well, but man....

[orleans]

32. has anyone checked to see if she's posting something else

since this thread got locked? or if she's posted other stuff tonight?

i'll check.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

33. Unless she started a post it's going to be hard since she

disabled her profile.

[LastKnight]

35. ive kinda been pokin around, not finding much.

[orleans]

36. a thread asks what are you going to do july 4th?

and she said: "just crying"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=3917232

another one--more optimistic
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3917423#3917475

she started this thread
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=3917183

she has also posted a lot in the arizona and texas forum

[lenidog]

38. Again not of the good

Well I hope she does PM the mod and he gets back to us by posting a thread.

[LastKnight]

39. thats the only other thing ive found in regard to this...

other than that its just run of the mill GD stuff

[Crazy Guggenheim]

40. I found some posts by doing an advanced search.

[orleans]

41. look in the arizona & texas forums -- she's been posting there

[orleans]

42. check this out from a texas forum

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=180&topic_id=14903&mesg_id=15388

"I've lived in all the places you mentioned, I am a "transplanted Texan", (you will not know what that means), but for the life of me, do not ever come off on Texans the way you just have, especially to be so new to this forum.

I'm sorry, I've taken insult at your post. I'm sorry for your getting "ticked" at all our "woohoo" post/messages. BTW, I'm 47 and my husband is 38.

CHEEERS!~

Oh and by the way, can you get past the air pollution in Phoenix while you hike your hours away? I need a break!"

[orleans]

43. she was talking about going to a texas/fort worth meet up on june 4th

i'm guessing she lives around there
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=180x15011#15348

or dallas
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=180&topic_id=15520

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=180&topic_id=15586

[LastKnight]

44. anyone heard from her?

its been awhile since the post popped up, donno what the situation was but there was a time period mentioned, anyone heard anything?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

45. Nothing.

[orleans]

46. no

i've been looking at search results and that last post we saw on the goodbye thread was the last one she made i think.

from what i can figure out she lives in or around dallas.

hopefully a moderator can track her down a bit and call someone to do a well being check

the fact that she disabled her profile is a bit telling of the situation i would think

[LastKnight]

47. just sucks, wish i could help in some respect.

even if nothing is up... just wish i could make sure.

[orleans]

48. how do we contact the moderator?

[LastKnight]

49. as far as a quick way to do so im not sure...

maybe go pm the one that locked the thread? otherwise i dont know how/what to do.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

50. She just started posting again.

[LastKnight]

52. wheres that?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

53. GD. It started at 1:13 her time.

[LastKnight]

54. isnt that the original thread? nt

[Crazy Guggenheim]

56. Here's the link.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3917183

[orleans]

57. that was yesterday's posting

[LastKnight]

58. that was yesterday...

jun 22nd in the early am... means posted what would be the night of 21st.

[orleans]

59. i just p.m.ed the mod who locked the thread

to ask if they would be able to figure out who she was and if they would request a well being check from the local police

[LastKnight]

61. i think thats all that can be done really...

unless anyone else has any ideas?

[orleans]

63. it appears that everyone else is in bed!

which is probably where i should head off to soon.

thanks crazy & lastknight for keeping watch with me. don't know what else i can do. so i'm gonna sleep now. see you tomorrow.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

62. Thanks.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

60. That;'s right.

[orleans]

55. im in the central time zone

and her tell david & sara goodbye post showed up at 1:23

[Rabrrrrrr]

51. Probably should stay away from the soybeans.

Gives a person awful gas. Stinky, awful, smelly gas.

[DeepModem Mom]

64. kick

[In_The_Wind]

65. that didn't sound very good at all except that DUers wanted to help

what ever it was ... lets hope that everything can be worked out without anyone making it worse

[Sugar Smack]

66. I seriously have the chills

just now, after reading that. Fuck. I just hope we hear something positive.

[In_The_Wind]

68. I've found so much support at DU ... I hope something helped

life is too short to waste even one moment ... suicide is never the right answer to a problem

[Lannes]

67. Ive read news stories about people that post before possibly

doing something rash and the mods have called 911.

Im not into invading someone's privacy but if they are posting this kind of a message maybe the mods should call someone and try to get her help or at least try to see if they can get in touch with her if they havent already.I dont believe it should be locked and forgotten.

[Sugar Smack]

69. You're absolutely right.

It isn't privacy any more if someone blows open a door like that.

[Saphire]

78. just wanted to kick this up again......so sad.

[Sugar Smack]

70. If you do the advanced search,

you'll see she was still up & posting at six this morning.

[DeepModem Mom]

71. For some reason, I can't find her posts -- does she seem okay? nt

[DeepModem Mom]

72. I've now found some posts from early Wed. a.m. -- if you've found...

later, does she seem okay?

[Sugar Smack]

73. She was posting a few short replies,,

but I couldn't read anything into them. They were all in GD.

[Shell Beau]

74. Oh my! I hope everything is okay!

Has anyone heard from her or heard anything about her well being?

[Sugar Smack]

75. Recent Link Here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=3920998

[Debbi801]

76. That post came before the scary one.

I hope she is ok. Her "good bye" post gave me chills.

[Bossy Monkey]

85. Here's her latest; very brief

but sort of forward-looking (or at least refers to DU as "us"): http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3926304#3926323

[philosophie_en_rose]

77. I'm glad some jerk didn't flame her.

DU is usually a kind place for people looking for help. However, I would hate for some troll to hurt someone. The mods were right to lock this one.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

79. Everyone in this thread listen! ....................

I want everyone to PM her! She is able to be PMd. Now not all at once so she doesn't get over loaded. We'll do it this way. If your birthday is an even number PM her during the day. If it's an odd number PM her later tonight.

Thank you all for your help!!

[In_The_Wind]

80. that could help

[philosophie_en_rose]

87. That's good idea

:kick:

[Democracy White]

81. I hope this person is ok

and my prayers are with her.

Suicide is NEVER an option, I should know I attempted it three times in my life, once while I was in the mental hospital. It's a constant thought all the time and a constant battle.

I have a guardian who reminds me of life, his name is Kevin who happens to be my stepdad's brother who committed suicide when he was young. He had some kind of imbalance (bi-polar?) Anyways whenever I think of huritng myself or killing myself, his image comes to my mind.
He usually keeps me in check.

I know what it's like to be depressed, I battle it everyday.

So please whoever you are, don't do it. Get some help. I'm praying for you and I am sure that Kevin wouldn't want you to do this either though you don't know him.

Dee

[Crazy Guggenheim]

82. As far as I know she's ok. Just PM her and let her know.

[auntAgonist]

84. thanks for your heartfelt post

:hug: for you :)

[Democracy White]

86. You're welcome

Like I said, depression is a daily battle for me and when you got the type of family members as I do, well it's a vicious cycle.

Dee

[Crazy Guggenheim]

83. Bump.
