My problem with a 'mental health department'
-
God Damn
-
In the YouTube videos about 988. when there's a disclamer about if you're feeling a way about... They don't even pick up? some safe call line.
-
Damn, this got popular. I kinda get the advice thing but yeah, just go to your friends not a random group of teens.
@YourAriesBestie But what if the friends are the teens? That could encourage people to contact. Apollo is a very well known mod. But that's just my opinion I guess.
-
The 988 hotline is TERRIBLE. From hearsay as well as my experience with them and the experience of friends, they don't pick up t'phone for ages and when they do, they often are disinterested/disengaged and will hang up. Either they reform themselves or a need for a new hotline arises.
@Melancholyyuga never used the 988 line. Back then when I was feeling down and having my mood swings. My sister would take me to the nearest mental hospital
-
maybe 988 was an excuse for a random dude to get a cool phone number
-
Whenever I crashout I just listen to music in my head.

is playing minecraft in my head piracy tho
-
mental hospitals are a fate worse than death. only worsed my issues.

the mental heath industry is bullshit genuinely lets say you have depression now your doctor gives you antidepressants guess what THEY'RE FUCKING WORTHLESS you get addicted to a point comparable to meth fucking meth and guess what they can worsen suicidal thoughts thereipests They're payed to talk to you nothing else and guess what all this shit is expensive money the only fucking thing that matters in life to the government in the end its all bullshit ask someone whos on antidepressants or getting therapy it doesn't help it makes it worse and costs cash
@phantemxtx I would like to jump in here, I have MANY friends who have received actual help from both therapy and antidepressants.
@YourAriesBestie Anyway, yeah, the mental health staff would be both untrained and hard to run. I believe I actually discussed the issues with you. If I had a therapist friend then maybe we could have a DNS therapist, but sadly I do not :C

damn they must be lucky

I struggle with MY mental health too. I know signs of mental illnesses because I was diagnosed and struggle with them. SOIACW is not a ''professional'' mental health source. But we try. I've helped MANY of people on this site. SOIACW is a place to VENT. We listen and try to comfort.
And in my experiences of mental hospitals, hotlines and other professional sources, they didnt work. The hotlines didnt pick up and never texted or called back. My mental hopitals i went to were shit. They didnt help with ANYTHING.
Also, some people CANNOT afford mental health help or cant go to one. Now, I'm not saying that I Don't agree with some of these, Some of these are reasonable. But, We are here to HELP and LISTEN to people who want help. My mom used to be a psychologist for 4years before becoming a lawyer. She teached me lots of ways to help and comfort distressed people.
''Idk if i can wait for u anymore... maybe its time to find a person who won't lie to me and will love me back the same...'' </3

@Apollo.Is.Silly given the hell I've been thru with the US mental healthcare system, i can say You've actually done more for me than any therapist, asylum, and psychiatrist has ever, and ever will. that's something most people ignore, or just don't understand.
