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.

Can you send me more information? I'm not in Portland but perhaps I can help share some resources

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.

Or the people that you associate with.
I don't know of a single person that doesn't support the mental health of their friends.

Probably has a lot to do with some pseudo-Puritanical ideal of independence combined with years and years of family trauma and psychological abuse.

Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes. Plus they have professional sports teams, world class health care and Ilhan Omar.

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!

It's for the $450 and whatever you decide to do with that $450 is up to you.

$700 is likely over 2500kWh for the month which is about 4x what the average home in Maine uses according to CMP. Do you have electric heat?

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?

Yeah they offer personal training and group classes. Sorry, I haven't tried either though, I just did my own thing so I can't vouch for anything beyond the gym environment and equipment which are great.

Yeah there is nothing to do in North Dakota other than drinking. Just all farmland.

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!!.

Well deserved! Everything my wife and I have had is awesome there, the spicy chicken sandwich in particular is insanely good.

I don’t qualify since I moved here in Aug 2021, but I’m glad for my neighbors. Last winter, the heating bills sucked.
