Reporting rules work as intended, to discourage people from reaching out for help

How do you know people who come here are not "at their end?"

What are the outcomes of people who come here "at their end," knowing to themselves they tried everything & in the end, the 15-min of compassion still leaves them with the "core" issue that triggers this action.

Research people who did it. There was a "why" and it was not all mental health related.

The system is designed to label it as the cause bc it isnt designed to help everyone for a reason, hence the reporting requirements that silence sufferers.

Look at all the homeless people. It has increased much more, more than what I saw in the 80's.

It has gotten worse, because 'resources" are not in abundance, and cant "save" everyone.

Those who like to "help" people do it for themselves because it 'feels good.'

They may not be qualified to dig into the root cause of the person's distress like suicide hotline people.

Band-aides and quick fixes are temporary.

Sometimes people's triggers have valid reasons that are too complex for a social worker, doctor or lawyer to fix.

There are "reasons" and it is not always a mental health issue.

I am one of them. I could not for the life of me get solutions for my issue no matter how many people I talked to. Because they had no frame of reference, the conversations wore me out more than them because all i did was "teach" them something they didmt know of experience first hand.

End result: 'I dont know what to tell you."
