This is a very common statement that is espoused by pro-lifers/anti-choicers, and those who are MHAs (Mental Health Advocates), MHPs (Mental Health Professionals), and CTBP (CTB preventionist) people.
The truth is: No they don't! What they actually care about is how you (proverbially speaking), the individual, affects them. By this, I'm referring to how they would be inconvenienced by the individual's actions, rather than actually caring about the individuals' struggles, troubles, and issues. They could virtue signal and claim how much they "care" and would work towards a solution, but again, most of us know, it's all just cheap talk. Real solutions really come from the individual's own homework as well as their own efforts (for the most part).
If they (the normies, anti-choicers, and all the people against CTB) really cared, then they wouldn't be pushing platitudes, interfering with your bodily autonomy, and perhaps even offer 'real' solutions to real problems! But instead, they do none of those things! They do everything but helping you, they help their egos. It's such an insulting, degrading, and belittling statement to hear from those people who act like they care about people when in reality they care about their ego and atavistic morals more than they care about the individual's problems! To be fair though, they aren't superhumans, they also don't have all the solutions. However, the least they can do is not to intervene/interfere if they cannot (or are unwilling to) provide aid in relieving one's suffering. The quote below by existentialgoof summarizes this point up succinctly.
Anyways, even though most of us already know this and I may be preaching to the choir about this, I thought I'd vent a little bit but also expose the lies that pro-lifers and anti-choicers like to spew. So in the end, most people don't (truly) care about our issues, and we are unfortunately alone in our struggles due to the fact that if we say the wrong thing, or reveal too much, we end up with outcomes that we don't want, are unprepared for, and/or in worse circumstances, but that's for another thread.

"If you're opposed to the right to die in case of some hypothetical case where it might be abused; then you're essentially saying that we need to deprive the innocent of their fundamental liberties in order to protect them from the criminals (even though the 'protection' on offer is worse than even your slippery slope scenario). At minimum, the government should be required to curtail its nanny state suicide prevention schemes; which are an overt violation of the negative liberty rights of individuals. "
"If we can't have assisted suicide through the NHS for everyone who wants it; then we have to demand that the nanny state restrictions on accessing those suicide methods elsewhere be curtailed."
