How about too many IMSI catchers being deployed at the same time ? Like basically ~ all of them at the same time right ? Couldn't that cause some unforeseen disturbances ?
> I've heard other ideas like reaching out to a local university, although I'm not sure how that works.
1 ) I guess want you want to look for is research programs that take in volunteers. Those are usually at the cutting edge of what is being done to treat any given condition. Find the mental health institution that is affiliated with your local university, browse and see. I wouldn't let anyone test drugs on me though. Especially if you have an HN brain. But many of the new stuff ( for anxiety anyway ) revolves around psychotherapy variations. Like practicing mindfulness and just variants of CBT ( +/- medication that has been in use for a while and thought to be helpful ).
2 ) Attend a local suport group ( that in of itself can be good ) and you will hear plenty of good and bad stories about good and bad local practitioners. Online forums can't hurt but they may or may not help you find someone in your vicinity.
> say the wrong thing to the wrong person and you'll end up involuntarily committed to a hospital.
True. Those wrong things are limited to instances of imminent harm to self or others AFAIK / IANAL. I guess if you have those sorts of thoughts, you may still consider actually talking about it because, well, you apparently don't actually want to do any of that right ? And which is worse ?
I don't think that flirting with suicidal ideas in of itself would do you in if you spoke about it. I don't think they have the resources to take anyone in anyhow ... if you manage to show that you are ~ well organized ( work, education, activities, friends, a support network ) and downplay how bad of a shape you're in to just below the above threshold, the chances of involuntary commitment are like <= 0.06% ( made up figure )
Additionally, were you to be involuntarily commited, electro-convulsive therapy doesn't follow. It must be a shity situation to be in, but they won't lock you up for 6 months cause you were on the edge. I would still probably try to avoid that though.
Lastly, make sure you try everything else also ; excercise, eating healthy, all that stuff. It turns out it can kick your brain back to ~ normal : )
Hope that helps.

I was also going through the numbers recently and it does appear that there is no place for contrast in the media, both within the phenomenon of police killings itself as you point out, as well as how it relates to other unfortunate and troubling causes of death.
For example ; ~ 250k people a year die from medical errors in the US [0]. From this one could argue that doctors are far more dangerous than cops, possibly on a per encounter basis as well. Certainly something should be done about this. I don't know if a mega riot will do it though.
Also, just what proportion of those police related deaths were actually justified by any standard ? Like how many of those people actually pointed a gun at the cops before ending up as a stat ? Regardless of race. That would be interesting to know. Obviously some heads have to roll when something like that happens, but maybe we should still keep the baby.
I'm usually not quick to side with the cops on any given day, but I like to side with the actual facts on any given day. Policing is a hard, dangerous and ungrateful job. Certainly it has its ( grave ) problems, but just doing away with the whole thing based on relatively few ( albeit horrible ) incidents, is not a rational reaction to this real issue.
The best account of the current trajectory of the media landscape I have found is in what was meant to be a sci-fi story called American Goldmine by Paolo Bacigalupi published here ;
