There is a frustrating mix of terrible advice and good advice. Is that why you'd recommend not getting advice here, or is there some other reason?

(I upvoted you.)

Oh, absolutely -- I always worry when someone who's having emotional trouble seeks out the greater Internet for advice.

There are some very good reasons why it takes a high level of training to counsel people.

I mentioned this elsewhere, but I'm not taking direct action based on any comments here. Yours is an understandable concern, though.
