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

I've been there. Pretty much the exact thing happened to me, except it turns out the number I got was one off and I got a message asking if I wanted to meet "sexy single women." I'm a straight girl, and a minor. I'm so sorry about how that must have felt for you. I know that when I didn't get an answer, it almost drove me over the edge. I'm very sorry that happened to you, that the absolute worst feeling thing that can happen when you call. I recommend therapy. It hasn't helped me much, but enough where I'm fairly certain I won't try to hurt or kill myself. And I apologize on behalf of all the insensitive jerks who comment that have no idea how much that hurts and laugh at you for it. I hope your life takes a turn for the better. :)

I've tried to hang myself before because, well I had no friends and my parents hate me because they think I set our house on fire in florida but it was my brother, and my parents both have jobs and my girl friend broke up with me because we couldn't see eachother anymore. things still are like that.. *sigh*

death feels like the perfect choice. I have really no other choices.

my best friend of over 15 yrs since 2nd grade died of stage four lukimea and I'm sure my parents wouldn't care if I did it. I have nobody to talk to besides 1 person, myself. nobody cares or loves me. suicide is the only choice I have unless I can get help. I never liked therapy because I never like to share personal stuff to people.

therapy isnt that bad unless u get the stereotypical kind, but it can be very helpfull. for a while it seemed like my therapist listened to me n nobdy else did n that was sad but u learn shit, and u get to look back and say **** that, and it will always hurt but once ur not with anybody who causes u peril (sounds like ur family to me) u wont have to please them, just screw them, and mayb ul find something good.
