    True, but 1,000 years ago it sucked a lot more. Now we have some advantages. Even access to the internet is a good quality of life improvement compared to 1025 CE.

    So maybe instead 1,000 years the inequality still exists, but technology has made things a little nice for the working class. It’s all about perspective.

    Or the climate crisis and subsequent environmental collapse lead to a Mad Max hellscape





  • A mental health crisis doesn’t need to be emotional. You’ve described acute depression.

    If you aren’t seeking it and can access healthcare do so. Things can get better. A lot in the world sucks, I won’t pretend that it doesn’t. But it all can be better even if it seems like it’s not.

    I’ve definently cried and held friends after a suicide attempt and cried when taking them to the hospital and cried again numerous times through the process. It was worth it at the end.

    Honestly I’d rather have people like you that realizes the flaws of the world around than people who think everything is great. Only those willing to acknowledge the flaws can work towards changing them. Doesn’t even have to be big just little stuff.

    Take care of yourself. I know it’s hard to believe a random person cares, but I do. I’ve seen this all play out too often in my short time here to not care


  • You’re likely part of the mental health industry. Only one of “them” would think 30K in additional debt (paid to mental health workers/doctors) is always better than death.

    Not even close lol. A lot of other people can think suicide is bad too.

    I’ve seen a lot of loved ones and friends struggle, but they got through. The debt was definently an issue. I’ve seen friends worried to get treatment due to the fear of lost wages and the medical debt. It is hard, but they got help and it all worked out. I do agree that medical debt is terrible and shouldn’t exist though.


  • No you dumbass they are going to be sent to get help.

    Nearly everyone that attempts suicide and survives regrets trying and are glad they’ve failed.

    Sorry for my strong language, but I’ve had friends and loved ones struggle with mental illness. A few have attempted suicide and either failed or have been stopped. I once took a friend’s gun the day before he tried to commit suicide. If I had not done that he would be dead today, but today he is happy. He has a life worth living and is doing infinitely better.

    Suicide attempts are a mental health crisis. In that moment that person is not of a sound mind and incapable of making that decision.

    This is nothing like going to a doctor and seeking a medical procedure like an abortion. If anything this is like a woman throwing herself down the stairs in an attempt to end a pregnancy. They don’t need to be allowed to throw themselves down the stairs. They need to be stopped and given access to proper medical care.


  • This hits way too close to home. In my time I have known many friends and loved ones that have dealt with suicidal ideation and a few attempts.

    Every single one of them is doing better now. They’ve all built lives and are happy. They are all so grateful they failed or were prevented from killing themselves.

    You don’t turn a blind eye when someone is having a mental health crisis. You help them.

    To your point in that moment they are not of a sound mind to be making that decision.

    Nah that was their time. If you gave the average group of humans 40,000 years ago and an average group of modern day humans spears and told them to hunt a polar bear, the group from the past would be much more successful.

    Obviously our technology today makes it an easier task, but I’m very impressed at what our ancestors were capable of.

    Look up cave bears for a treat.
