Hi Merry - When mguspixi25 wrote "I volunteer and work from home on the suicide crisis and prevention text and chat service", I thought the service referred to was an unrelated suicide crisis prevention service, separate from Mayo Connect. When my challenges have felt overwhelming in the past, I have telephoned suicide prevention lines. Based on mguspixi25's descriptions of his/her challenges and creative solutions, I thought the only way to connect to him/her without monopolizing the Mayo Connect group was to connect through "chat" to one of those services. I knew the chances of that random connection was slight, but I wanted to acknowledge my appreciation of his/her Mayo post.
My misunderstanding. I appreciate the clarification. I'm a senior who leads a rather isolated life. I hope my explanation makes sense.
