How many ended psych ward imprisoned and pumped with drugs till they're basically brain dead?
When all they really needed was time and genuine respect and understanding which should be coming from their community, if communities were healthy and not sucked dry from greed and survival power struggles.
One day I'm going to be shot and killed by cops. God is dead. Nations are dead. Ignorance is heaven. Reality is purgatory. And war is hell on earth. I was shown this by everyone I grew up with and national politics.
People will make charity after charity to push aside responsibility of creating and maintaining proper healthy community and lifestyle within their microcosms.
True change is up to each individual, because too many lives and lifestyle are unseen and disregarded by the "mainstream" world.
Work in marketing and see how bullshit the world actually is. All of it. ...the entire nationalistic narrative(s).
If you need support after reading this comment dial 988.
(But for real, I've been through some shit... Keep your head up and learn to understand and live within the chaos. A body in motion stays in motion... Keep that motion positive the best you can. When you're deep in it... Make a change for positivity even if you feel like you don't believe it. Do something new... Even simple... Take a different drive/walk home. Make something different for dinner. Change is key. Find the right change and build. There are authentic people out there... You may only meet a few in your life.... But real genuine people exist. Sometimes they aren't who you think they are. All different types people can offer you what's needed to move forward and grow. Wether you agree with their lifestyle or politics or not. Open minds open doors.)
Came here to ask just that question.
Amazing, glad they are introducing easier ways for getting in touch and also removing the tax for psychotherapists and counsellors.
I understand that a lot of people crank call suicide prevention lines, too. How did CAMH qualify fake from real calls?
