Lost - What I hear is this...options:

a) go with family, maybe have good time, or maybe be annoyed or get bored, no time alone, aggravated, etc.

b) stay home, be completely alone, increase my depression, increase my chances of self harm, increase possibility of hospitalization, increase possiblity of suicide attempt/success.

Do you see how significantly different these two options would appear if they were presented to you as choices for your best friend to make? Think of yourself as your own best friend and pick one of the options above. Which would you pick for you, your new best friend??

Seems kinda clear to me. Does it to you? I say put the hotline numbers in your wallet for another day, and start packing.
