Mental health doesn't respect 'reasoning'. If your policy requires humans to be robots, you are a bad policy maker.
I followed the rules until it became clear that I was becoming psychotic as a result of extreme isolation and about to snap and hurt myself and others.
To avoid a 100% suicide rate, I will take a 10% death rate. If you're interested in convincing me why I should sacrifice myself for your benefit, I'm all ears.
Hyperbolic, 'holier-than-thou' messaging doesn't address the problem.
- objectivetruth 6y agoYou called someone "hyperbolic" after you posted: "To avoid a 100% suicide rate, I will take a 10% death rate." Your only feasible options are to kill yourself or to flout social distancing rules? If your behavior resulted in the death of neighbors, their survivors might not be consoled by the fact that you weren't willing to seek appropriate mental health treatment. And yes, if you are imminently facing a psychotic break and contemplating suicide, you ARE having other issues beyond just "haven't seen my friends or family in person for a couple of months."
