Social media use restricted to low res file max 184 x 128 pixels and 72 dpi While camp Trump was celebrating his win in the presidential election, a shocking number of Americans were calling suicide prevention hotlines. (COREY SIPKIN/NEW YORK DAILY NEWS) A record number of anguished calls flooded suicide prevention hotlines just before and after Donald Trump secured his shocking presidential victory.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline received 660 calls between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. Wednesday — 2½ times the average.

“It clearly is and was an indication that there’s a lot of anxiety and fear around the election,” director John Draper told the Daily News.

The hotline often receives an uptick in calls during major events like natural disasters or even elections.

Suicide prevention hotlines shocking spike in calls after Trump’s win<

So is this mostly gravy-train bureaucRATs...or some other kind of parasite?

Seems like a self-solving problem to me...

Sorry. If lines are busy, call back another time

Suicide prevention hotlines shocking spike in calls after Trump’s win: ‘We’ve never seen this'

The millenials are incredibly fragile - many of them still live at home, they've never really had to face reality. The future is not exactly in the best of hands.

Wonder how many times she has called in?

[doorgunner69]

I bought ammo and a new lower a couple days later.

IMO...any caller to the help-line, who *happens* to be as registered gun holder, should have their firearm[s] confiscated, for their own good, of course.

[Jarhead9297]

Hopefully it “dies” down as more are successful. The call center management has built in workforce attrition the more that off themselves

[dfwgator]

Unfortunately one of the phones was manned by R. Lee Ermey....

I think it’s awesome. Suicide sure beats them going to Canada and being an obnoxious bunch of ***holes up there. The Canadians never did anything to deserve that.

In Berlin, the preferred method of suicide was cyanide.

[pissant]

I encourage them to jump off a high bridge

[Dallas59]

Im all alone in my neighborhood...all the Mexicans ran off.

[grey_whiskers]

I think I'll just leave this here.

Christmas morning

theme song for the desperate and dejected SJW snowflake

[MIchaelTArchangel]

I hope they are telling the snowflakes how to tie a plastic bag over their heads.

[bigbob]

it’s the home version of “Drain the Swamp”

[Conservative Gato]

We are raising a generation of people who can’t deal with reality.

Nobody is going to pamper them like Mommy and the University. They honestly don’t know what to do. Nobody ever said NO before.

It’s so unfair!

That's no lie. I know a 30-somthing that was raised like this by his liberal parents and counts on the liberal culture,(big gov't, the media, entertainment industry, academia, etc.) for all his information. He is such a mess but he really didn't have much of a chance with all that going against him.
