I don’t understand how if we want to talk on the phone with someone we can privately message them to see if they are available.
Words on a screen are one thing but it would be nice to talk to someone.
I have other suicidal friends and I talk with them sometimes, but for me, scheduling of need is always an issue. Â When they call me I am not available, and when I call them, vice versa. Â I have found that I go out of my way and then have no one when I am in need.
I am so tired of being tired.
Things are hard for me from an internal aspect and it is so hard and taxing to explain to people what it is like. Â Some people don’t understand and some people have an understanding of the struggles but not the details.
I wish that life and this world were so different and I am so tired. Â I am 38 and on east coast time. Â Is anyone available to exchange support over the phone?

About the only suggestion I can make is the SP Chatroom: http://us5.******.com/46986429532639
I think this site serves a useful purpose. Many of us have thoughts that we just need to get out there. Having somewhere safe to share these thoughts is helpful, as is the feedback that those reading these posts can provide.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I strongly prefer actual conversation, don’t get much out of typing on a screen. Also that website looked just as confusing.
Thanks for trying though. The older people like me, like actual phone conversations. I just thought since there is many people suffering that we could move to support on phone, but maybe not.
I don’t usually post my phone number, but

Call me when you can and I’ll talk to you. Anytime, any day. 🙂
I’m in your age bracket and I find the online interaction has been very helpful. However, I can appreciate that talking to someone on the phone may be more appropriate for some folks.
Maybe try phoning one of the suicide hotline providers in your country?
