It didn’t snap them out of the meltdown. That’s not how any of this works. It would be like asking somebody eating ice cream if we can agree that ice cream is bad. People who are suicidal are rarely under the impression that those around them would be worse off if they were gone. Asking somebody who has convinced themselves that killing themselves would be a good thing this question is out of touch with the situation at best.
Thats my point though. Asking someone suicidal if killing themselves is bad is a nonsensical ridiculous question. In this case it made the OOP stop crying (and maybe spiraling, we dont know).
