<font color="#4169e1"> I was having a crappy night to begin with...so I decide to make my first call to a national crisis line. The first one I called, the guy was watching tv, didn't listen to what I said and after approx 7 minutes said he had to wrap up and go.
 I proceeded to call a different line, got a lady...who in the middle of the convo hung up on me  I called back and this time she didn't say anything, but hung up again  -sighs- I can't get anything right or have anything work for me </font> |

I'm so sorry you didn't get the help you need. I can't believe they actually did that to you! That's so insensitive and uncaring if you ask me! Good thing you have us to go to for support!
Hang in there...we are all here for you!

Folks here show up and care.

((((((Beauti)))))) I know how that feels, I've had them hang up on me on suicide hotlines too... but I guess they could say See? since I'm still around....
Sorry there wasn't anyone around here for you right then! You can have the trophy for keeping yourself safe!

Bautiful Pain....sorry that when you reached out for help in a time of need you didn't meet with success someone who would listen and be supportive and direct you to keeping safe.
I hope today is a better day. I hope you are out of your "crisis" time and can try and do something that makes you feel good inside. |

Good! However, those hotlines are for when we ARE down and need shoring up duh! I guess they either use volunteers or low paid or overworked people? IDK. I directed one for a short time... I quit because my standards were higher than what they wanted to give? IDK that either.

{{{sky and jax}}}
Sky--I think my standards and expectations are higher than the hotlines are capable (at present) to provide as well. I wasn't feeling completely suicidal...but was told that I could call even if I wasn't...guess not o.O *bitter laugh* Thank you Jax At least I learned something, next time I feel that bad I will come HERE, where I've gotten support from people who truly care already--during down and Really down moments. =) |
