Just read stories about how people were treated in psychiatric inpatient dtays to see why more suicidal people are afraid to get help. The “help” most of them receive just makes things worse.

I also hate hearing people on social media urge other people to go see a therapist, and act like stigma is the main thing holding them back, and not the exorbitant cost of it. In my experience, most therapists are morons that just waste your money and time by spouting hollow platitudes in condescending voices, or giving inane advice like sitting and “making space” for your feelings. Devon Price has an article about how, in their experience, too many therapists are from privileged backgrounds and not capable of helping people deal with more than the smallest and mlost insignificant problems. I would absolutely agree.
