Reply to "Anthony Bourdain"

CJ, it's never that easy.  What we see and what they see in that moment are vastly  different.  They weren't cowards, they were buried under their perceived past sins and couldn't see anything else.  I think if either had the briefest of human contact at those moments there would've been different outcomes.  

Mental health continues to be stigmatized and it's deeply ingrained in our culture.  When they immediately associate a moment of unavoidable pain and despair as a perceived failure it just adds fuel to the fire.  If they can't see beyond the darkness piled on with immense perceived failure and shame how easy is it to call the "Suicide (I'm a failure) Prevention line".  Stupidest name ever.  You know what would be a million times better?  "We Get It line".
