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 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.
