Well, I have two options going forward:
1. Despite my bad experience, recommend suicide hotlines in the hopes that they work even though they didn't for me.
2. Recommend against suicide hotlines while explaining why and cautioning that my experience may or may not be representative of the norm.
I'm going with #2 for the time being, yes.

- mitigating 5y agoRecommending against anything because it didn't work for you isn't good, even with the disclaimer. Antidotal evidence is the worst.
