I want to take the word "attention" out, shoot it, and hang it with its own bowels. Yes, someone to talk to is usually necessary. But what's really hard to find is people who will actually help. Like, look up psychologists or cook you meals if you're anorexic or take care of you while you're chained to the wall weaning off heroin.
