> If you are feeling suicidal, there are many resources available.

There are resources readily available to stop you killing yourself right now. After that the prospects for help tend to dry up pretty quickly until you boil down to the next crisis. Hotlines are a fine thing to have and to promote, but they're not nearly enough.

Well I'm sorry for trying to help others out. What are good resources then? Just HN comments criticizing others for not being up to some random's standards.

I upvoted your post as I found it interesting (albeit very disturbing). I interpreted 0xcde4c3db's comment as essentially agreeing with you – but also adding that suicide hotlines by themselves aren’t enough (similar to how, in the case of a physical health problem, applying First Aid keeps someone alive but in the longer-term, medical care is needed).

My point is that there largely aren't good resources for a lot of people. It's not a criticism of you personally; you're raising awareness of one part of the situation, and I'm raising awareness of a different part of the situation.
