>tfw one of the suicide hotline's tips is to breathe slowly and count to 10
Wow! That cured my depression!

the job of the suicide hotline is not to cure your depression. It is to prevent immediate suicide. Curing depression is not a thing that happens through 1 conversation on the phone, no mental health professional would claim this either.

It was a joke, the point is anyone who is willing to contact a suicide hotline as a last ditch effort to keep themselves alive would probably not need breathing tips as their go to advice

It's good advice though. I used to volunteer for the suicide hotline, when I was still studying to be a psychologist. Now I advise people to call in if they're actively suicidal. Suicide tends to be an impulsive, spur of the moment decision. Really anything that can postpone it, sometimes just for 10 seconds can make all the difference.
>not making a citizen's arrest until police arrive so they can be sent to the hospital for reeducation
Everybody deserves to live as long as possible no matter how miserable their life is.

Everyone has two most basic rights:
>right to live
>right to die
I will leave how darn long I please and you should not dictate it.

I know you're memeing, but something similar literally happened to me. If you're going to kill yourself, tell NO ONE.
