Heres an international resource that people actually can use: https://findahelpline.com/
They have an up to date list of prevention lines in a lot of different mental health fields. If anyone is struggling with mental health I recommend checking it out to see if there are any helplines you can use. They also have a nifty lite FAQ entry about how to start the conversation since it can be hard for many.

Might be a boomer take, but if you’re willing to go so far as to not exist anymore because the world is whack, I don’t think it’s an unrealistic ask to show up to a city council meeting some time, run for local office, break some stupid-ass laws and feed the homeless or go to a protest, etc. If we all woke up tomorrow and decided to make a different world, we could. I would appreciate your help in making this a better place to live for all beings, it would really mean a lot to me.
You say this but every morning I must battle my mental health to get out of bed. Only reason I’ll get out is because I have to go to work. In the days I don’t work I’ll just lay in bed until my bladder is on the brink of exploding and only then get up to piss. I don’t know how people find the energy to go to protests or do something with their lives. I only work, and I only work because I need money.
I have volunteered weekly for 4* years, have given speeches at protests, whetpasted posters against nazis, and attend most council meetings. Still have massive depression episodes.
Just saying that it’s not like both situations can’t be true at once, and I would argue that if you do the former the later is more likely then an average person.
We’re very isolated and feel powerless. You can do all that but there’s no guarantee you will see any change. In fact, you’re more likely to become even more jaded when you find out your local council is dominated by business and religious interests.
