I would say "get (professional) help!" is advice that always sounds good and can be good for X percent of people and not so good for the rest.
I am part of project that offers food and resources to unhoused people outside the usual state and regulated private agencies and without conditions. So by that fact I see many people who the mental health system fails to help for one reason or another. I can't tell you what percentage of people that is but I can tell you it's more than zero percent. I have no advice about what works but I can't see what's wrong with creating a structure that could help you.
Sounds like you help people. Unless the OP edited their post, they said
> close HN, reach out to people, get help
that seems like perfectly compatible advice. I'm not sure why you're inferring a "professional" in there and then quibbling about it.
