Just say you're not going to hurt yourself or anyone else.

@[email protected]'s thought process seems perfectly rational. Contrary, your continued belittling of and attempts to force OP into the role of a mentally ill person appears almost like a superiority complex or obsession, uncannily so.

You're likely a wonderful person who just formulated yourself in a very unlucky way, but OP would surely have spoken up if they needed help.

Wow. You are an enormous, condescending ass.

This hits close to home because it reminds me of a time in my life. I, myself, am mentally ill and am disgusted that you think that asking if someone is ok is a problem or at all belittling to them.

People very much do not speak up when they need help. I know I didn't.

Don't be a dick.
