There's a city in Poland called Hel, by the sea coast at the tip of our only real peninsula. There used to be an intercity bus line 666 that started in Gdynia and went to Hel.

Isn't the point of this subreddit to be for uplifting news specifically? I'm not sure why you'd complain about uplifting news.. in the uplifting news subreddit.

The same thing happened to me, she was like 'maayaam, what do you want me ta do about it'. With all the tone, it was an awful experience! I just couldn't believe this is the job she chose.

Wrong way to look at it. Those people already wanted to kill themselves. Its a 42% increase of people who actually got help, who otherwise wouldn't.

I end up giving out all my bills under $20 & coins. If there is a child, the family gets more. Sometimes $50 if we can...

I used to work at a call center handling legal cases, some involving sexual abuse. We’d often get people that mentioned being suicidal and we were instructed to transfer them to the hotline. Every single time I had to call to transfer I was out on a super long hold before being connected. I always felt so bad

Both deaf and autistic communities reject narratives about either being difficult (or, at least, unwanted). Speaking from an autistic person who’s spent a bit of time in Deaf communities as well :]

Therapy costs money. Lot of people don't have money and spending that extra cash could make their lives more stressful and make things worse. For the poor's like me out there. Exercise. Even if its a little bit per day, it gets you in a routine and that is super helpful. Not to mention, in time you will look and feel better, which will also help your self-worth.

You don't need to "choose" unless intentionally used to mask the truth.

That isn’t what I meant at all. Having a support system is about having people you can rely on to help you out of a spiral. They don’t have to be friends or family necessarily, but those are the most common.

Go figure, an easily remembered number is easier to remember.
