I suspect that help and support is being offered but the person in question is unable or unwilling to accept help. I have seen it many times. And I have personal experience with such situations.

Sadly, I've seen it. There's a stigma with mental illness that needs to die out. Too many people see it as a defect or weakness or shameful, which translates into not knowing how to be a good friend/family member.

We need to end the stigma and educate.

ETA: Wow, look at the downvotes rolling in for .... calling out the bullshit? If you downvoted this, you're probably part of the problem. Do better.

A very popular local Portland musician is currently having a very public meltdown and nobody is supporting her at all. I’m happy for you that you have a healthy group of friends, but it’s sad to see people have public meltdowns and everybody’s advice is to turn away. I’m not talking about my friends. I’m talking about stuff I see happening in the community.

I think you may be short a few brain cells. But no really, I totally believe you are not desperately pressing refresh over and over on your phone waiting for my reply lol. Also not sure why you think I like lepage when I have several anti lepage posts in my post history. But you’re not reading this after all, so no wonder you sound so ignorant. I tried to give you a free education but I should have taught you how to read first!

Pretty sure quality of life must be code for boredom factor on this map. Is life in Iowa, Minnesota, the Dakotas and Arkansas really better than Maine? Hell, they don't even have an ocean to stare at?

Thinking about it, once I get settled I'm probably gonna make bespoke coffins for everything from hamsters to humans. People will be dying for them!!.
