    Two ways of looking at this. Either you are smart, and you saved your own life for just $2000.

    Or, you’re an idiot for not calling one the free helplines to see if they could chill you out first.

    Either way, I would have retained my dignity, and not posted it on social media just to bash the health system. That’s actually fucked up.

      Yet, you have forfeited your dignity by posting support for that same health system on social media. 👀

        I don’t know how you bend your brain to interpret what I wrote as support for the US health system, because it’s obviously no such thing .

        But even if it was, I don’t think it’s undignified to quite same extent as posting about a personal health crisis for twitter clout .

        Edit: lol How many accounts are you running ?

          God forbid someone struggling with their mental health, who obviously has no support system, posts online about their shitty experience in the hopes of receiving any form of emotional support. Must be looking for clout

          The fuck is wrong with you?

          They don’t need multiple accounts. We all think you suck

              I think you are being quite cynical, jaded, and out of touch with the reality of people who are struggling

                You seem to have forgotten the argument you jumped in on was about whether I was supporting the US health care system.

                Some people aren’t happy unless they’re arguing I guess.

                  Nope. Didn’t forget anything. I was responding to both your original comment, and the second half of your second comment.

                  And my position stands. Not even an argument. Just telling you that you’re acting kind of shitty.

                  Enjoy your weekend! ☺️

      Have you considered that someone on the brink of ending their own life might not be thinking clearly nor care much about their future financial situation?

        Yes. Luckily they care about it again now it seems.

        More than the fact their life was saved.

        If you’ve just been brought back from the brink of ending your life, is your first thought going be “my goodness that cost 2 grand our health system is fucked”.

        Cos I wouldn’t. I’d be thinking “holy fuck that was close, if I hadn’t called I could be dead now”

          Wow, didn’t see this comment earlier. Truly spoken like someone who has never tried to take their own life.

          Note: I am choosing to respond here despite ending our previous conversation for the sake of others who might be reading.

          Surviving a suicide attempt or severe suicidal ideation doesn’t give you some newfound sense of appreciation for life. That’s TV fairytale bullshit.

          The same problems that drove you to feeling suicidal are still there, now with new ones on top (like, you know, an extra $2k of debt). You’re not better. You’re just not dead. And most of the time you still wish you were

      I was with you until the end. Speaking about mental health should always be encouraged.
