I have been in a crisis for over a month now, and I would like to remind everyone the effectiveness of suicide prevention.

First off, I have been scared to call the suicide hotline, as I was afraid this was a part of the government, and that if I called, I would be taken away. After research, I can now clearly state this is not true, as the suicide hotline (tel:988) is run by a non-profit charity, and in no way relates to the current government. Although I didn't use the hotline this time, I got help from locals. You probably can too, there are places in most towns and cities that will help with this (some even have physicians who will help) and if you don't live in one, it is definitely worth traveling to.

I know this is really hard to see, due to decades of institution level issues in countries like the United States that have brought us here (I am reminded of how this has been going on for decades, during the Vietnam war, there were lots of people holding signs that said "the world will end tomorrow" that was roughly 60 years ago. Humanity as a whole also survived World Wars I and II, society, while doing bad things at times, has historically always gone back towards the path of civility and reason)
there is so much we don't know, so we cannot say with complete certainty that this is the end. We can still act, we need to be brave, and we need to stand up for what is right, and not give up without helping the cause. If you were to end your life, you would be weakening the movement, and imposing your suffering on others, setting the world back.
