Yes I agree wholeheartedly, if one was to use steemit to try reaching out for help I would never frown upon it. The problem is that it is so easy to overlook things like that. Especially at steemit. Most users have maybe 8 views, and those are maybe not capable or willing to support.

I would actually recommend the discords for that type of pledges. I have noticed depressed people writing on discord asking how to cope with their situation, and they get support and talks on dm. It is always fine to ask for help.

Thanks for your input! : )
