I'm Canadian if that helps. I'm not in therapy yet, but for as long as I can remember I've mostly not wanted to be alive. I've never been actively suicidal (except for a few very short, isolated episodes during a particularly bad time in my life) but I think frequently about it. I've always had the goal of going on medication to regulate my emotions so I will be able to live normally and be happy, and now that I'm an adult (turned 18 a few months ago) I assumed I would be able to open up about this to a professional. But, apparently they're required to call the police or a psych ward or something. Now, like I said, I have never really wanted to end my own life, but if anyone in my family found out or I was forced to go to a psych ward I might start. What am I supposed to do? Just tell them I'm depressed? This is seriously weighing on me, if I don't get this help without a big deal being made out of it I will not be able to go on.

Running Mario Kart Wii (wbfs file from Vimm's Lair) through USB Loader GX on an external HDD. At random, whenever I finish a race in the Grand Prix mode, either right after crossing the finish line or clicking "next race", the game will freeze and stop working. Why is it doing this? Is this an anti piracy measure or do I need to download a different game file?
