    The mental health crisis is more complicated than just "go get help, see a therapist." Society is sick. Our lives are sick. Our minds follow the sickness of this cultureless materialistic reduction of humanity. Meds are not the answer except in extreme situations. Talking to a therapist will only get you so far when the world is crumbling around you. Depression isn't inside YOU. It's inside US

      I hope the sentiment of "I want you to move in with me" can give you a bit of hope. Because I don't know you or anything but I want to take you in. That sentiment exists now and as long as humanity is around. It extends to our love of animals as well, especially when our fellow humans and ourselves are trying to work through our issues with fear and greed and can't or won't go easy on each other. Go easy on yourself and adopt a pet if you can. Even an animal as insignificant as a rat can bring you some solace.

      Its the same everywhere. I live in Ontario, Canada and am on disability. Our government, Doug Ford if I'm not mistaken, decided to pay out $2000/mth to those who were out of work due to Covid. $2000/mth the government decided is a suitable living wage while that doesn't even cover rent for most 2bedroom apartments in Toronto. Doug Ford's from Toronto; its not like he's unaware of the rent situation when he was working with his brother, Rob, who used to be Toronto's mayor. (May Rob be resting in peace.) The rent situation is barely any better outside of Toronto. In my city, most 2 bedroom apartments go for about $1600 and up.
      Did people on disability or welfare see their checks go up? Seeing as we already receive barely enough to scrape by, and job prospects are more dismal than ever. No. (I still receive less than $1600/mth as a single parent of one.) I am not alone in this struggle, despite being very much on my own. Same for millions across my province, and billions more across the world.
      Unfortunately, this is all part of the new world order that politicians and "conspiracy theorists" have been talking about for years. Also part of the depopulation agenda written about in several languages on the Georgia Guidestones. This is why Bill Gates had his Event 201 or whatever it was. This is why our governments are not helping the little guys and why cops are doing more harassing than helping the public, like they WANT a Defund the Police campaign. I could go on, but its way later than I realized and I've already written a novel. Everything happening right now is all about bringing in the NWO aka One World Order, though they may go with a "nicer" sounding name by the time its publicly official and the world will look more like that Songbird movie trailer that blasphemied Bob Marley....

      Knowledge about the woods and country living reduces fear of the unknown to where it becomes fun hardwork because you can just copy other's success. No reinventing the wheel. Watch all the videos and you learn alot then buy some books. Pray and meditate on the truth for wisdom about your questions. Country land with creeks flowing across it is just 3-4k an acre, slightly sloped, trees 1-2' diameter and 70' tall. Carries you away. Get a private library, a red phoenix rooster for an alarm clock. Third level of heaven where no demons allowed to go. Peace of Paradise. People laugh.......just stay with the computer cubicle job up in the sky, waiting for that phone call to stay on for months or if that big sale falls through, so do you. Your women will probably leave you, more will show up, dog is in it for a 15 year commitment. Life is good. You didnt build the cabin like the cabin rebuilt you. Country people dont really care if you are good looking or not. Every backwoods guy in NC is a welder, carpenter, roofer, plumber, auto mechanic, hunter, fishing bassboater who walks around bored waiting for crops to grow before harvest. Completely different world. You own expensive crap, with no country skills. They have great skills you think are for crap work. Savings.....in what form? Farmland, cattle, Ummm and Uh huh, with plenty of Yup, yeah and jars full of jam and real meat no spam. Nothing fake and the babies get the real thing. I hope your phone rings.

      Figuring out that I had no real friends and that my family has no true friends began when I became a caregiver for my Dad. We helped so many people and had so many "friends"/family before his stroke. If you're sick too long or help the sick too long people dont care beyond a few weeks, so the years spent taking care of my Dad showed everyones true colors. Same if someone dies, life goes on for most and your grief better be brief or you'll be sitting in it by yourself. If it's not something people can glamorize on social media or receive outside attention for, they flake. Self serving population of peeps.

Initially I increased my communication via text, cell calls, company email, and company Slack (Basically instant messaging and video calls) to people I thought were friends. All went well for about two months but after that people started ignoring each other. Suddenly communicating was inconvenient for them, whether it was a text, cell call, or anything. People just started "Leaving people on Read." If you are unfamiliar with LPOR look it up on Google. They would read your message and never respond and definitely never answer a phone call. Took me a few months to figure what was going on with people I thought were friends or friendly coworkers. Turns out these people only care in the moment (Going out for an event: Dinner, Show, Etc. / Physically working in person at a building) but don't care the rest the time. They don't even want you to communicate with them 😂😅🤔. I wised up pretty fast to people's true feelings. I started ignoring people, leaving them on read, skipping meetings, and definitely not answering their calls. I doubt the even notice the change but they are getting treated for what they are, fake people.

    Before Covid I thought my life finally was going in the right direction. I was just accepted to a 4 year university and was trying to obtain a job in law enforcement believing that I would be helping others. Last year around March during a peak outbreak I broke down. My school fell apart academically and I struggled to pay for school. I was put in a 5150 after confessing to the campus police that I’ve been having suicidal thoughts. I was taken to a mental ward in hand cuffs and was given some meds and was let go after a few days. The hospital was extremely shady. It was a run down ward that and based on what other patients told me they were making up excuses to hold us 4 extra day (because they have to show evidence on court after 5 that we were being held with good reason) collect some extra insurance money then let go. I only saw the doctors once and all he said was “how do you feel” and left before I can even give a proper response. Came back to my recruiter and they basically told me no agency will ever recruit me with my medical background now. Just like that 4 years of effort gone to waste. The hospital in question didn’t put any effort in helping me. It was pretty much “we’ll lock you up for longer unless you say you don’t have these thoughts anymore” and found another patient as soon as the my time limit for holding me without evidence ran out. I thought I was getting help but all it did was give me two month of lexapro and a career killing medical background.

      MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE FLAKES HELPS ERADICATE THE CORONA VIRUS AND BUILD IMMUNE SYSTEM Magnesium CHLORIDE CRYSTAL BY ANCIENT MINERALS.. Magnesium has a strong relation with the immune system, in both nonspecific and specific immune response, also known as innate and acquired immune response.
      Dr. Raul Vergini says, “Magnesium chloride has a unique healing power on acute viral and bacterial diseases. It cured polio and diphtheria and that was the main subject of my magnesium book. A few grams of magnesium chloride every few hours will clear nearly all acute illnesses. I have seen a lot of flu cases healed in 24-48 hours with 3 grams of magnesium chloride taken every 6-8 hours.” Dr. Vergini wrote, “I was looking for a solution to cleanse wounds, because Dr. Delbet had found out that the traditional antiseptic solutions actually mortified tissues and facilitated the infection instead of preventing it. He tested several mineral solutions and discovered that a magnesium chloride has a great effect over leukocytic activity (Increases leucocytes to fight infection) and phagocytosis; so it was perfect for external wounds treatment.”
      In 1915, a French surgeon, Prof. Pierre Delbet, M.D wrote, “From a practical standpoint, please remember that only magnesium CHLORIDE-and no other magnesium salt-has this ‘cytophylactic’ activity. The solution to be used is a 2.5% magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2-6H2O) solution (i.e. 25 grams in 1 liter of water) Show less REPLY drsircus.com/general/dosages-and-treatments-for-coronavirus-infections/?fbclid=IwAR317ocZ45eduGpT7uoq225hW0smUQLi1cbgbun-iLc3oCnJynIf1x7H_XU

    "A suspect threatening suicide," is the exact reason caring & competent mental health providers need to be the ones going out on these calls
    It's simply not fair to the police officer or the person in distress for law enforcement to have to take the lead

      Social support is key. Literally knowing someone else cares about you is a life saver, and can help people help themselves. Unfortunately, those that need it the most tend to be behaviorally menacing in one way or another so people feel justified in not reaching out. I think everyone has a little bit of the cure, and we just have to figure out how to bridge the gap between each other in order to administer it.
