    Just woke up vomiting, choking on vomit, not drunk or on drugs, heart beating slightly off. Is this ER worthy?

  • I live in the US

    We have to weigh the cost of a medical visit versus the likelihood it's nothing

    If it's food poisoning and I overreact, that's a 20K overreaction in the US

  • No

    I could just get a cab

    The point is the ER costs a lot

  • Are you sure? It could just be food poisoning. I ate a lot of candy earlier before sleep.

    I want real world answer, not "always seek medical care answer."

    I can risk a 20 percent chance of death to avoid medical bills.

  • Yeah, I think I'll just go back to sleep and risk death. Tired of being fuxked over by hospitals, society, everyone. If I die, so be it. Peace out.

  • Because if there is proprietary code that is compiled, but can't be read, it's hard to know if there is data harvesting that people can't opt out of. And proprietary code being added paves the way for more proprietary code. If this is an incorrect understanding, someone correct me.

  • 30M After divorce I got literally zero support from anyone, why?

  • People who are depressed often are unable to adhere to unwritten cultural social rules.

    People in theory like to see themselves as supportive, but still will not react well to people violating unwritten cultural norms.

    Example:

    "i am so sad, this awful thing happen."

    "Don't worry bro, it will get better, just pump iron and time will heal all. Hey do you want to see a funny video of my dog trying to bark at a roomba?"

    (Awkward silence, breaking social rule of reciprocity) (long pause) "sure..."

    (Video of dog)

    (No laughter or comments, breaking rule that friends are supposed to be fun, react to things)

    Result: next time depressed guy calls, "bro" will be too busy to pick up

    Because people want to think of themselves as reliable and always there and supporting mental health, "bro" will never admit to himself the reason he is doing this, nor will it even be logically articulated. Instead he'll think "i feel bad but im so busy lately" and just not take the call or forget to answer

    This is completely in contrast with someone who is slightly depressed or dealing with something slightly difficult but not actually that depressed and able to adhere to social norms. For that person, they will get tons of superficial sound-bite support in between other normal acceptable activities and conversations. The "supporter" feels like a super hero for caring about mental health, and really it's just two people hanging out, neither of whom really have major mental health issues.

    I would suggest if you are really brutally clinically depressed, do not interact that much with your network until you are feeling a bit better because people are that shallow sometimes. Instead, do things like volunteer at community organizations in which more hands on deck is good, and if you cancel it's not a big deal. (ie making food for homeless people)

    Also the truth is many people are shitty in general. I don't think this is something caused by you. I also think that much of the advice about mental health and depression is about making paychiatrists and mental health professionals look good and people feel good.

    things like "talk about your mental health issues" and "help is available" and "prioritize mental health" all feel like lies that make other people feel better. But what if instead the truth was told? "Prioritize having food and being able to pay rent. Do not talk about your mental health issues ever except to trained professionals. Help is available and horrendously expensive; if you can cry and be sad 6 months and then go back to normal without rip-off doctors and professionals, you are much better off."

    So it's not you at all. People are assholes and the mental health industry gives lucrative self-serving advice to glorify and protect the industry while screwing over people who would be better helped by the truth.

  • Because religious people have criminalized dying by choice, especially with assistance, it is impossible to parse out impulsive attempts from those who have highly rational reasons for wanting to die.

    The solution to this, and many other problems, is simple: ban all religions.

  • Because there is no way to prove involuntary care makes suicide more likely (since those with a financial interest will always say the post-release suicides were hospitalized due to having worse mental health), the grifting of the downtrodden will continue.

    I long for the day a genius statisitcian finds a way to prove what all involuntarily treated people already know.

  • Never call 988. Choose life or choose death, do not choose the additional 25 thousand dollar bill, degradation, trauma, and suffering that comes from 988. It's a trap and the only people who win are big pharma, psychiatric inpatient facility investors or owners, and rich psychiatrists who sling drugs (that barely do more than a placebo), sling false hope, and sling financial exploitation.

    Just say no to 988!
