>I’m not the biggest logic fan, but he has a line in his most recent album: “Speak on mental health, the people laughed at me, that's why I tapped out.”
It's what happened to Andrew Luck (retired quarterback for the Colts)- one of the reasons he retired was because he was "mentally worn down" - and people ridiculed him for it.

Rich sports stars basically aren't allowed to be depressed/anxious in some people's eyes. Such a backwards view to hold.

Or just rich people in general.
Money makes it easy to live with lifes many obligations - rent, loans, mortgages, food, material needs etc etc.
But it doesn't make you happy, not on its own. Money doesn't buy you love (platonic, familial or romantic), perhaps one of the most crucial aspects of mental well being. A lot of people fail to understand that, probably a lot of people who also take the important things like family for granted.
Owning three Ferraris is probably quite cool but if they're just collecting dust in a garage while you sit alone in a dark apartment, how happy are you really?

You kno why I didn’t like it? There wasnt actually any heart in it. It was obvious that it was made to try awareness. It wasn’t made with a reason other than for the artists to feel good about themselves doing something to help others. No real pain or passion tied into it. No story as to what drove them to make it.
The “ I want you alive” seem so fake. Like i was seriously depressed at one point because people around me bullying me all the time and I didn’t have anyone at home to speak about it with. What stopped me from actually following through was the thought of my parents pain.
That type of inclusion would have felt raw and real. Instead they kept it super generic. That’s why I think people felt that it was cringy and a way for them to feel better about themselves.
If each had shared a verse of them being on the eve and what drove them back, with the chorus remaining generic, that would have been magnitudes better.
And the Grammy for it felt like the the industry patting itself on the back cuz they did a good thing by doing that. Just get Fake all around.
Could have been done much better imo
A great example of truly sobering and suicide related song is swimming pool by Kendrick. That has his personal true raw material that he ties so perfectly into the subject of addiction and suicide
Of course no Grammy for him for that album. By far deserved album of the year but Grammys are racist af
Still tho, I wanna thank logic for doing it. It clearly helped the world and that’s what matters. My personal opinion on the song doesn’t really matter if it genuinely helped saved lives.
I’m just trying to shed some light on to why there were groups of people who didn’t like it.

I guess I'm pragmatic like that. It's like corporations supporting LGBTQ only once a clear majority of consumers do. Yeah, it's fake as fuck and they would not do it if the issue only had 30% support. But it still has a positive effect. So did this, apparently.
I don't see anything wrong with doing good things because it makes you feel good. That's how humans work. It's beneficial behavior, and such behaviour will be evolutionarily rewarded with dopamine.
BiblioPhil t1_j28yghc wrote
Yeah, I struggle to understand why people get so worked up over the possibility that someone is getting satisfaction from doing good things. Why does it even matter why someone is doing it, as long as the end result is a good in itself?

Kind of sick that a project around awareness can be disregarded because the audience can't enjoy a painful connection between the artist and their work. That sentiment is in the same vein as the enjoyment of blood sports.

It's not that, it's that pussyfooting around the topic can actually make it worse IMO. The root causes of our mental health epidemic is the way we structure society and the economy. There are fundamental ways that we've set up the world (and everyday things like jobs) that do not jive with our biology or ecology. The solution is systemic change.
Corporations and virtue signaling celebrities have found a comfortable middle ground where they can put the onus on the individual and shirk any need for collective change. "Don't be afraid to speak" or "Take care of yourself, nobody wants to see you go" or "we need to stop the stigma". These are meaningless phrases that do nothing to address the epidemic. It neuters any attempt to get to the issue at it's heart, because the agreed upon solution is now "just get some health insurance and pay hundreds for a therapist, or tens of thousands for inpatient care! The system works great!" That is the spectrum of options we're given when everyone just parrots the accepted "take care of yourself" line.
When you actually suggest systemic solutions, or talk truly honestly about your struggles and what would solve them, all of a sudden people can't make eye contact and they change the conversation real quick.

Yeah virtue signaling that has a positive impact on society is still a good thing. We always act selfishly when trying to help others, because it makes us feel better about ourselves, or we know we'd feel guilty if we didn't do it. But it's still a good thing.
I just wonder how many of those calls were just non-suicidal people either ignorantly, or curiously, calling the number and took up room that ppl who really need it could've used. But i doubt that represents the majority of the additional calls.

If your country isn’t listed, that doesn’t mean someone to talk to isn’t available, it just means I couldn’t find a single national hotline for your country. Many countries have support numbers by region or city; search for help in your location using any search engine. But please, spend a few minutes talking to someone before you make a irreversible decision- you have nothing to lose by talking.

This is another lie. It may be true for specific 'hotlines', however in many countries admitting that you've considered suicide can lead to your rights being torn up and you being incarcerated against your consent.
Please consider what you're saying in future.

Have either of you had any professional training in counseling a suicidal individual? Have you any credentials in supporting people at risk ? I have, and do., and speak from experience.
These are not lies, but rather proven trends. A Gallup Research Poll of individuals who have attempted suicide clearly indicates that 96% of respondents indicate they were at a low point when considering suicide, and things rebound for the better shortly after they pass that low point. “Things will change” is not only a viable promise, it is also a certainty. (One could argue that change is inevitable in any state, but besides from that, >95% of those who attempt suicide state that this is exactly what they experience after the attempt.)

They're lies. Things may get better for some people, but that doesn't mean they're guaranteed to improve for everyone.

So for 4% didn't rebound, thus proving the original statement to be false.

I stopped working for that company for other reasons, but one thing that made me happy to work for them was that they allowed me to make outbound calls to customers for any reasonably purpose, and allowed me to share my company email with customers too.
I was always above the average handle time (how long my calls last) most months, but never got in trouble for it.
If I wasn't allowed to go the extra mile for customers that genuinely needed support and help, I would not have stayed there nearly as long as I did, it would make a 12 hour shift of being shouted and screamed at feel worth it.

I would get messages on my answering machine about once a week from people saying they were thinking about committing suicide. I had no idea why people were calling and leaving me these messages. It was really freaking me out!
Then one day I saw my (almost) phone number on a billboard for the suicide prevention hotline at a bus stop. Right then I realized why I was getting all those strange messages on my answering machine.
I called the telephone company and changed my phone number that day. I felt really bad for all those people who were reaching out for help and ended up just getting my answering machine.
BTW I’m not trying to make light of suicide at all. It’s a very serious issue. I’ve contemplated it myself when I was in a really bad place in my life. I honestly just remembered this after seeing this post. Please reach out and call them if you are having those type of thoughts.

As someone who's volunteered on a similar hotline for several years, they account for that and don't count those.
I worked on a crisis hotline for sexual assault issues, and we definitely got a lot of what we called "inappropriate use calls". That included anything from prank calls, to people calling for issues completely unrelated to what we did, to people calling just to chat for some reason. Basically, any call that didn't match the purpose of the hotline and organization.
It was important for us to have accurate numbers regarding how many clients we actually served, for our reporting for things like donations and grants. The executives running the organization took that very seriously, of course.
So while I don't know how this group records their data necessarily, I have no doubt that they know how to filter real calls from fake ones and report accordingly.

I like to promote people call other, regional crisis lines that aren’t so trigger happy with calling the police or trying to get people in a psych ward when they’re looking for someone to talk to when possible. 988 is semi-regional as well, but they typically use more standardized training that is largely a “CYA” style than it is about providing support for people.
Looking up alternate crisis lines in your area is likely a good move instead if you’re not immediately suicidal. Whenever people see these posts they often think it’s a good resource to contact but if they’re not acutely suicidal it’s probably not going to be as beneficial as contacting an alternative crisis line
Cosmic_Hitchhiker t1_j2dka1c wrote
I wish so much that I'd known when I was suicidal last year to call my local psychiatric intervention center over calling the suicide hotline.
The suicide hotline called the cops. I was humiliated and dropped in front of a hospital, that didn't even have a psych ward, with no wallet or ID of any kind. The hospital treated me horrifically, only asking me any questions after pushing ativan on me so i was deliriously tired. They misplaced an IV line that I didn't even need and then left me for 12 hours, going so far as to tell the next shift they didn't need to pay attention to me.
When an ambulance finally came to pick me up to transfer me to a different facility, they got into an argument about where I was going. No one asked me where I'd like to go, so now I also owe $600 for ambulance transfer.
I called the SH at 630am. At 1230am the following day I was dropped at my local psychiatric intervention center who got me set up with outpatient care, a psychiatrist, a therapist, and a hot meal within 30 minutes and then paid for a taxi to take me home safely.
I don't mean this lightly: I will absolutely kill myself before ever calling the suicide hotline again.
I have the psychiatric facility number saved instead.
And this isn't counting the time i called them in college after being sexually assaulted and having the man tell me I just "didn't want it to happen that way. Doesn't mean it was rape."
RDS-Lover t1_j2fxbso wrote
I’m really sorry to hear you went through that. Negative experiences receiving care, whether it be mental or physical health, can make people want to avoid care when they really could use help. Losing your sense of autonomy and ability to make decisions for yourself while being made to do things you disagree with against your consent is also really traumatizing.
I’m glad you have the psych facility number saved instead, got connected with a therapist and other resources, and that the people there sound as though they treated you with respect.
It’s also appalling to hear how they acted when you called in during college. That is definitely against protocol these days but awful they ever thought that was appropriate.
I hope stories like these help people realize the risk. And I don’t mean this in a minimizing way as your story sounds like it was a really upsetting experience, but a lot of people aren’t as “lucky” as to get out of the hospital that quickly or end up with absolutely astronomical bills.
Thank you for sharing

I like this kinda information because you can spin it multiple ways. Obviously one way is that his song spread awareness of the suicide hotline (most likely). Another way is to look at it and say “this song increased suicidal thoughts by 27%” (likely wrong). Another way is to assume that US logic fans are both unaware of the suicide hotline AND at a higher risk of suicide (probably also wrong, but less wrong than option 2).
Just a good reminder that data is subjective, and needs to be backed with a solid hypothesis and sufficient auxiliary information.

I'm not a fan of Logics music, just not really a fan of Rap in general, but the man is a genuinely good human. Few of those at his level of fame nowadays.

Man, this is too much a legitimately good thing to make lame jokes about.
But there is a very lame joke in my head, About a rap so bad people had to call for help.

Coincidentally, logics streams fell by 73% after dropping this album.

In America you can call 998, the national suicide hotline. You can also Google "suicide hotline chat" if you'd rather type than talk.
Search for "suicide hotline" anywhere in the world for a local or nonprofit international hotline.

There was also a big surge after that MMA fighter Paddy won and talked seriously about it instead of having a gloating speech. Really commendable.
I hope more people use their platform for compassion.

To clarify, people diss on him for ‘acting black’ but being light-skinned enough to look like just a white dude.

Can I? It's a big deal because having more recognition for suicide prevention by one person is phenomenal.

When is a person old enough to decide for themselves?
Maybe not age then some immeasurable level of real maturity?
Maybe a prerequisite terminal condition, or state permission with proof of suffering.
Seems like it's the only thing you truly own or does that even matter? Im not encouraging the practice.

If they're calling, don't you think they're conflicted and therefore it's better to err on the reversible side then the irreversible?

I’m not the biggest logic fan, but he has a line in his most recent album: “Speak on mental health, the people laughed at me, that's why I tapped out.”
I felt that one in my bones. It sucks when you try to do a good thing and get demolished for it. Glad he’s got this statistic, at least.
