This is why it's a terrible idea in the US to tell anyone about your problems, especially mental problems. Help is NOT out there unless you're extremely lucky and rich. Most likely, there are a bunch of goons like in this article waiting to pick you up, beat you up, and drop you off at the nearest jail. That's if they don't just kill you outright.
And the uninformed still wonder why we have so many problems with mental health and suicide in the US, a place where seeking help--even by accident--is likely to make things worse or even lead to death.
- altendo 10y ago> Help is NOT out there unless you're extremely lucky and rich There is, for sure. There are crisis centers that don't respond like that. They may not be common - so maybe some luck is involved - but there are people out there trying to help others.
