Everytime I have gone on the mental health subreddits, there is always a comment like "YoU neEd to go 2 the hOspital nOw" when I express my mental health problems or health concerns.
I know resting heart rate of 140-150bpm isn't normal, but even with health insurance, my last psych ward visit gave me a $1000 bill. If I went to the psych ward as often as the people on Reddit told me too, I would be a homeless man.
I hate that whenever a situation is out of their wheelhouse they say "Hospital NOW" like it is the solution to everything. A hospital visit will just make things worse.
Why aren't online resources better? The internet has a bunch of people on it. It shouldn't be the responsibility of you guys to help me when I am on the middle of an episode and needing help, yet I find the hotlines to be inadequate most of the time.
It is also wrong that I have to come up with my own unconventional therapies to help, like when I make up imaginary conversations or scenarios in my head.
