"It’s the day each year we’re supposed to ask people we know if they’re
okay, with a view to starting conversations and offering support, thus
reducing mental health issues and suicide. I hate it."
Via Muse, who added: "Good article. Just understand that their advice
at the bottom, if you are having problems with suicidal thoughts, is not
helpful. Don't call Lifeline. They have the same problems as the other
organisations mentioned. They use a script to sort you out. The people
on the phone are suffering from compassion fatigue. You may wait twenty
minutes for help and then feel worse after going through assembly line
care."
