    That’s awful. I’m sorry the local resources available to you are horrific. I’m sorry I sound like a fucking robot. I’m treading lightly. I’m not an expert. I don’t know what you or people reading this may be going through.

    If the crisis line is going to send a psychopath with a gun to your home, do not ring that line.

    There are international resources available that don’t dispatch armed units to your exact location. I haven’t used any of them, so I can’t vouch for them.

    There is no one size fits all solution for a crisis. As I understand it, the main goal is just to get the person in crisis talking to another human being. Apparently that helps a lot.

    It doesn’t have to be a crisis line. It could just be someone who might care.

    Please go well, friend. I truly hope you have brighter days ahead.

      I’m honestly better. I’ve worked on a game plan to get the fuck out of this state.

      I just want to raise awareness of how absolutely shit mental healthcare is in southern states. We absolutely need a federal investigation into how behavioral health care crises are treated. Oklahoma City cops and jail guards have probably killed at least a dozen people this year, and there are no eyes on what’s happening.
