I’m sorry Lifeline did that to you.

I believe that if society actually wants people to open up about their problems and seek help, it can’t pull this sort of shit on them.

Sadly, that's exactly what society does. I can only speak for Australia, but if you have suicidal thoughts then it is a very bad idea to talk to any service even partially funded by the government. ChatGPT, in the absence of strong safeguards of absolute privacy, is as good as anything.

As an example: Mark Cross, who was on the board of SANE Australia, stated that whenever people were put into seclusion would be reviewed. We know now that this was never the case, and still is not being carried out fully. This lauded psychiatrist didn't seem to even known what was happening in his own unit or EDs.
