what this group is NOT is a substitute for real life mental health care. we know it can be therapeutic to find people who can relate to you when you are suffering from a mental illness or emotional distress, and that’s why we are here. but no one here can be counted on to provide professional care.

if you are considering suicide, please go to the nearest emergency room immediately. if you don’t have the means to get there on your own, please dial 911. if you find yourself waiting for help, please dial 1-800-sui-cide.

Or dial 988, as new poster Xxxfffyyypppi suggested above.

On a personal note, the last time I landed in the E.R. they eventually got me into a better place.
