Reply to comment by PM_ME_UR_TESTIMONIES in TIL that calls directed to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline rose by 27% after the release of 1-800-273-8255 by American rapper Logic. by Sun_Aria

>I’m not the biggest logic fan, but he has a line in his most recent album: “Speak on mental health, the people laughed at me, that's why I tapped out.”

It's what happened to Andrew Luck (retired quarterback for the Colts)- one of the reasons he retired was because he was "mentally worn down" - and people ridiculed him for it.

Rich sports stars basically aren't allowed to be depressed/anxious in some people's eyes. Such a backwards view to hold.

Or just rich people in general.

Money makes it easy to live with lifes many obligations - rent, loans, mortgages, food, material needs etc etc.

But it doesn't make you happy, not on its own. Money doesn't buy you love (platonic, familial or romantic), perhaps one of the most crucial aspects of mental well being. A lot of people fail to understand that, probably a lot of people who also take the important things like family for granted.

Owning three Ferraris is probably quite cool but if they're just collecting dust in a garage while you sit alone in a dark apartment, how happy are you really?

Disagree a little, seems to be particularly rich AND famous people. Fame is just not good for you at all.
