Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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

Suicide is a tragedy that doesn't solve anything, please don't kill yourself. I love you and God loves you, and bad times come to an end. God bless you, I will pray for you :)

i wanted to kill myself because something really bad happened to me when i was 15. i am 18 now and i have just started talking about it and i can tell you now, i am so soooo happy i didn't go through with it. i have worked through my problems. i don't have that many nightmares and i'm not so depressed anymore. i love life and i love that i got through this horrible experience. i was completely miserable and depressed for 3 years. i thought life was never going to change and that i was ruined because of one person that i had trusted. but that wasn't the case, and i'm alive and damn proud of myself today. i can tell you now that you can get through anything. i lost all my friends because of the one person, i had people picking on me, i was completely broken down. now i am starting to get new friends, i have gotten over the traumatic experience, i am out of horrible relationships and i am happy as hell. trust me, you will want to stick around for this feeling. the depression is bad, but once you get over it, it is the most joyous thing in the whole world. i appreciate my life more than most people do, because of everything i have been through, and it was all worth it. just to feel ALIVE again. you don't want to miss out on this, i promise you. my self esteem has skyrocketed. plus it is great because i can honestly say to that awful man, i don't give a **** about what you think and what you said and did. i am alive again. woohoo, that's the worst thing he can hear. sorry about this long post, i just feel free and happy again. wait it out for that moment. it might be a long wait, but it's worth it, i promise. good luck. :)

I wanted to kill myself because life plain sucked: no job, divorced & partner took me to the cleaners! 3 kids, no job, no money. Then my mother died and I couldn't afford the funeral. I had a stroke because of the stress (at 30 no less!). Does it get better? No way - it gets worse, and worse and worse. Neighbor's pitbull killed my cats, someone stole my car, burglars stripped my house 3 times, insurance company disowned me, Inland Robbing You a doing me for default, and people think there isn't a good reason to kill yourself? Just do it, and save yourself more misery!!!!!
