Innocuous facebook update = suicide watch

joeydubya [Edit] [Delete] 12:52, 25 March '09

I was talking to a friend's brother at the weekend, and he told me about an incident a few weeks ago in which he had taken the day off to prepare for a job interview. His preparations didn't go too well, and he was struggling to get his head down, dithering about online. Eventually, he conceded that he had to get on with it, and signed off of Facebook with a status update along the lines of 'I don't really have much time left to be wasting on here' so he could continue with his prep.

Hours later, he gets a teary call from his ex-girlfriend. The police showed up at her house saying he was a suicide risk!
