I beg to differ.

It's not my view of the Samaritans, but the way clinically depressed people see the 'interference' of strangers.

I have nothing but praise for the work they do, but people with my condition cannot face the idea.

Sorry if I gave the wrong impression, but I do know what I'm talking about.

Advice 'from the inside looking out' is just as valid, if not more so, than advice 'from the outside looking in'.

It all depends on whether the person in question is clinically depressed, or suicidal for some other reason...
