Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

They aren't too good anyone. I called one and the lady was a parrot the whole time. "God, I just feel so bad!" "So you feel bad huh? Have you tried committing suicide before?"

everyone has downs in life. it's normal. and sometimes the downs seem so overwhelming you just don't know what to do. but nothing should be so horrible that it's worth losing out on the rest of your life. there's always hope.

Wow...I'm amazed at all these heartless comments. First of all, I'm glad you had the guts to call the hotline. I didn't and ended up in the hospital and in the process emotionally wounding my family. Second of all, to those doche bags that simply thinks this is for attention back off. Suicide is serious and some people call for help with telling others.

suicide is never the answer, but at least you tried to get help thats good, but seriously suicide is just a permentant solution to a temporary problem everyone has problems but i always find that in time your problems will go away

Music. Music is a way out. Try listening to tech n9ne as an example. He raps about some real shit.I've known of plenty of people who have been on some down low dark dressed shit that found comfort in his lyrics and were able to get over it.

You probably call then to much hot lines like that if you call to much they start to think your just trying to get attention and they put your number on basically what's a don't answer list cause they can't technically block you but you know... if no one answers no one answers...
