Sweden Suicide Helpline GoFundME Viral CrowdFunding Exposure Campaign

In Sweden, approximately 1500 people complete suicide every year, and it is the most common cause of death in males aged 15–44 years

All it has now is a vague and overly clinical way of dealing with people, by talking to them as you would a child using scripted replies, created by people who have no idea of how the mind of a suicide person works.

Discussion and Training should be done by people who have suffered, not simply studied suicide in university

The Problems in Sweden
Unless you suffer from alienation, suicide thoughts, bullying and so on, then you are not really qualified to have subjective comments and even less qualified to help people.
Even the local Psychiatry is done in such a way that it dehumanize a person.
Mind.se first problem that you can see, just by visiting the site is the complicated website that has a person signing up anonymously and assigning a username which is a sade of color, thus removing the users identity completely.
This is ridiculous as it strips away the identity of a person and creates a chasm that the person cannot cross over to ask for help as the website appears more a carnival ride, rather than a spot where people go to for real one on one help.

It doesnt take to long to realize that you may as well be talking to a recorded information screen that tells you something positive and then leaves you to realize you have been lied too!

The other issue is that it is very hard to get in touch with mind.se and its even worse if its after midnight, as they close at that time.

It is no wonder why Sweden has such a high suicide rate, when the people are treated as nothing and have their presence online stripped away by a feeble attempt at leaving the patient to believe anonymity is good.

Mind.se does everything to make a person feel helpless and alone!

What I want to do
I want to offer a completely independent service that understands that people can feel suicidal after midnight and can express their anguish via a username that encompases how they feel.

Volunteer staff, will come from ex-suicide patients who understand the intricate feelings people have when they are trapped in a dark and gloomy situation.

I will…
Build a website and forum where it is easy to navigate and where people can identify the situation they see themselves in.

Create a Phone App that connects people together so patients can also be helpers and in turn get self help by helping others

Offer a call center that runs during the critical times of the day, when times are the hardest for people

For people who simply need a break, I would like to in the future have a CAMP where people can learn to make things, try things and be comfortable in their own minds.
This is WAY outside the scope of this gofundme but is something that Sweden needs

I know for a fact, that if mind.se was 10% competent, that I wouldn’t have been admitted to hospital. At 53 years of age, I was treated like a spoilt brat that didnt get my own way and that is why things need to change in Sweden, for the sake of all those people who need a shoulder to cry on, by someone who has cried on others shoulders 🙂

My Story
I was admitted to Hospital for the first time for a Suicide Attempt when I was 17.
Over 35 years later, I have been hospitalized many times and even institutionalized 2 times for over 1 month periods on each occasion.

I am BiPolar and I have some phobias, which prevent me doing many things that other people would take for normal.

Having moved back to Sweden, after being away for most of my life, I thought I had gotten over suicide attempts that would have me in hospital, but I was wrong.

The problems started when I knew I was having a bad day and contacted www.mind.se to speak to someone that understood what I was going through.

Instead, I was talking to someone that must have had a sheet of paper in front of them with “keywords” to say at certain intervals.
It was so obvious, I asked the person, “are you giving me canned responses”?

Sweden needs a better system t run alongside the government run disaster and offer jids and adults a real person on the end of the line, who has been there and conquered their demons.

Please help as just saving 1 person will be victory in itself!
