This Is What Your Unsolicited Advice Sounds Like

man this is a bad...comic? It seems like the author has gone through a lot, but I bet they haven't been in any of the life threatening situations they portray, and I think equating mental health crises to imminent doom is doing a disservice.

Do you know that a person can commit suicide due to mental health[1]? That sounds pretty serious if you ask me.

I do understand what you're trying to say. But sometimes the threat is imminent but you cannot see it, and many people will not talk openly about this to others. Somebody being dismissive of your problems can be exactly like person pushing you off a cliff.

I do, thanks for reminding me! I guess this comic is a portraying someone who has attempted suicide or is crying for help via suicide then? It would be nice to have that clarification.

I think it's disingenuous to equate death with people who aren't facing a life or death situation, like suicide.
