Hey chapos. I'm a longtime lurker and I should start off by saying I appreciate you all a lot.
I've considered calling suicide prevention before, but I've never done it, partly out of fear that I would get targeted ads for the rest of my life about depression, etc., and that' s really upsetting to me. Is there a clever way to contact mental health resources which avoids that issue, at least at the surface level?
As in, I don't care if the most dedicated NSA operative ever could find this out about me, only that it isn't super publicly traded information about my health between corporations, if that makes sense. Thanks
I don't think that's stupid at all, thanks for the suggestion. I'm playing some sekiro right now, and that's making a difference.
Anyway - my goal is just to talk to somebody I don't know. It's hard to explain, but it feels like everyone who know me personally has an agenda that I just don't want to interact with. For example, talking to loved ones doesn't work - they obviously, almost selfishly, want me to be OK. I need to talk to someone who's less invested so I can be completely honest.
I feel you there on people having an agenda. I totally understand, that's why I quit talking to people I know in real life when I'm at my lowest point.
None of us truly know each other here as we have a level of anonymity. I think your voice is more than welcome.
