To anyone who's feeling down around this time of year, call 911 or 988. Nothing is better than having you around.
Edit:
I really feel strongly about this and I misworded my message. Get help if you need it.
You matter to me. I mean that with all of my heart.
I get what you're saying here, but it strikes me as funny that this sentence could also be read to mean that having nothing around is better than having you there.
Oh, wow. That's a different take that I hadn't considered. I'll be anyone's something. Even for a single comment... and that's way better than nothing.
People like you always say that, but you don't actually want/need that kind of responsibility. There are suicide hotlines for a reason; let trained people handle it.
People like me?... I don't like to reveal a lot about myself online. That being said, I've talked many people out of committing suicide or self harm. I've said before in other comments that I'm in the medical field at a high level.
Positive mental health treatment is an extremely important subject to me. I stand by what I've said because I've been there when people have been in crisis.
Kneeling down and talking to a newly diagnosed schizophrenic 18 year old in an isolation room or a suicidal 16 year old girl is not easy and sometimes even dangerous.
All I'm trying to do here is give people immediately available resources if they're feeling unwell.
Uhhhhhhhhh, very funny to recommend calling the police in the comments on a post about a man getting killed by the police because he called for help.
Given the context of the post, might not be the best idea
I love your energy, friend. Thank you for caring about strangers. In this world, that means a lot. However, I think this advice is very region-specific. In most of America, for instance, this isn't good advice. This is closer to calling the Army than a crisis counsellor. In other places, where police have the resources to help someone in this position, this may be excellent advice.
There are probably better places to direct people for resources like this. Don't stop fighting; fight more effectively. If you can't find anything better to link people, @ me and I'll try to help

Can't you ask for an ambulance when you call the emergency line? That's how it is in Australia.
Please don't suggest that people call 911. Not in the replies to this article.
911 doesn't just activate police. It activates Fire and Emergency Medical Srvices aka ambulances if your life is in danger for any reason.
