I have googled drug interactions & overdose symptoms for meds I am *prescribed by a doctor* and had Google offer me suicide prevention sources. It's *incredibly* frustrating to try and research how to safely take meds I'm on and instead get "don't kill yourself! there's hope!" for multiple pages. Like thanks google, wasn't where my head was at, I really just wanted to know if I can have some wine with dinner or not???

Need to get some reference images let's see if google decides I'm gonna kill myself.

#idk i really don't think this strategy of having helplines come up instead #when you search certain things #is actually the best harm reduction strategy #given it makes it so difficult to do *actual research* and get quality info #like oh thanks for 3 pages of helplines + treatment centers + quora results #that doesn't actually answer any of my questions or provide actual harm reduction info tho #like genuinely if someone who cuts is trying to do so in a harm reduction way #but all the results are just 'noooo!! it gets better!!!'#who does that help?#the person is still gonna cut #but now they don't have good information on how to minimize risk doing so
