Talk to me
Today, I called the suicide hotline, only to get lectured by a very condescending man. I hung up and called back, only for the other line to pick up and hang up on me immediately. FML

You're at home here
Today, after years of struggling with poor mental health, my depression convinced me that no one would ever care enough about me to help if I reached out. I called the local suicide hotline anyway. They didn’t answer. Twice. FML

Waste of a phone call
Today, I called the suicide hotline after two months of recurring thoughts. I got put on hold by their machine, then was on call with someone who barely spoke English, got transferred to another building, so I was put on hold again, and finally got hung up on. I was already feeling pretty worthless, so thanks guys. FML

Some friends you've got there
Today, I wrote a post about how I was thinking of attempting suicide. Not one single person contacted me to see if I was alright. FML

Crisis
Today, I called the crisis helpline, and because my connection was cutting in and out for a moment, they hung up on me. When I called back, it was shift change, so they hung up again. FML

Today, a girl I've liked for several years gave me her number. Finally, I worked up the courage to call her. It was a suicide help line. FML

Don't know, don't care
Today, I realised that if I died, no one would care. I know this because when I called my partner distressed last night, he told me he needed to sleep and hung up in less than 45 seconds, and a friend told me to call lifeline. I haven’t heard from either of them since. FML

Old lady hotline
Today, I called the Suicide hotline. I dialled the number wrong and woke some poor old lady. She thought I was her son and kept asking me, "How come you don't visit anymore?" I told her I couldn't visit because of the Covid pandemic. I lied to an elderly woman I've never met. FML

Message in a virtual bottle
Today, I was feeling extremely depressed and worthless, so I decided to use the crisis chat. I told them I felt lonely and worthless, and had nobody to talk to. They never responded. FML

Owch, that's a kick to the balls. But don't let a phone line discourage you. Just keep swimming...

Do what Barney does, when he is sad. He stops being sad, and instead, becomes awesome. You should do this too

http://www.TeenHelp.org They have a chatroom, a Live operating system, and forums. I only put this at the top because I thought it may be a good option. Although, obviously you were just having a bad moment, since you're still around to write this FML.

I'm going to call a b.s. here. If you were seriously suicidal you would have been even more depressed that even suicide hotline wouldn't pick up your calls, thus sending you into a more depressed state, ending with your unfortunate death. Either it didn't happen, or you weren't seriously suicidal.

When I'm depressed, I go talk to my friends.. Their problems are liked 100 times worse.. And it makes me feel a little bit grateful.. ----- I got this one friend who watched 4 of his friends get killed and had a gun held to his head.. Another, has seen 7 random dead people, he watched 3 of them die, including a drunk lady fall from a bridge.. ----- Don't you feel better about your problems now? If not: FYL.. I'm sorry for you.. Go watch some Will Farell or Mike Myers.. And get better soon..

I think it's funny how people will tell a sad story to someone who is upset or even depressed, and expect him or her to magically feel better. oh ignorance. gotta love it.

well sometimes its like u want everything to stop, not exactly kill urself. and its scary knwoing what ur capable of, sometimes u dont rly want to follow thru with it. wen u r able to think this and find a way to stop it or get help, i think ur doing good. and i do know there r a lot of people who dont mean it, but in some cases its real, ive been there

right. because it's extremely simple to just "be happy."

not too depressed if you are willing to share with the world, if you were really suicidal you wouldn't be getting your attention fixes from fml, you would get a butter knife.

actually, think steak knife #7. but yeah same point. anyway, if ur telling everyone how depressed u r, im sure u'll b fine

Never take advice from people who don't spell out words.

Don't even joke about that my crew died a few years ago in a tragic butter testing accident.
daniel1_1 13
butter testing accident???
waywick 0
no, they meant butter knife, bc they know this kid only wants attention, not death...a butter knife will cause just enough concern for this young attention ***** to feel useful for a bit...people who want to die go off somewhere and die - they don't post on websites and then return to read the responses...

If you're suicidal, go talk to someone in person, and you probably need a shrink too. Not the suicide prevention hotline, which doesn't even pick up the freaking phone.

When i was depressed, i listened to nevershoutnever!, and it cheered me up all the time. On the brightside was the best, and like trouble and stuff. Whatever you do, don't kill yourself!
JHandAC 4
NeverShoutNever is the shit. If this person really is depressed and suicidal I definitely recommend Mr. Christofer Drew Ingle :) And OP, I really hope you change your mind. There's always a brightside, sometimes you just need to turn around to see it :)
