I think they’re just supposed to talk nonsense to keep you busy. You’re right they just say obvious stuff any decent computer bot could say. Even worse today I saw the news that the crisis support hotline was exposed for selling callers information to a for-profit company. Right up to the bitter end the world exploits our pain.
oh yeah, i saw that news post. i feel horrible about talking to people, yet alone my friends about my fucking problems, this just makes it fucking worse. im so tired..
It varies widely with our local hotline. The worst I’ve gotten was a guy who said “we’re really busy, so unless you are about to kill yourself, can you wait?”
I get compassionate/reasonably intelligent people about half the time. That’s high, because the mental health professions are experiencing a once in a lifetime staffing shortage.
I’ve got complicated feelings about that, because when I was able to work, that was my career. Which is why I know how utterly terrible those employers are. On the other hand, it really feels like someone should care.
It seems that whatever public health authorities are responsible for such things want to stress test how little they can pay and how many will actually kill themselves. Thus, I’m staying alive to see how badly or well that works out. So far, they seem pretty content to keep things as is; no one to fill new jobs, and a record number of retirements.
That shit makes me too nervous to even try.
I suffer alone because I’m afraid of it being too cheesy and awkward
Yes ikr here in India these are even worse. Either they don’t pickup the call or…
The only time someone picked up she kept on telling me to focus on my hobbies and paint and shit like that. I swear I didn’t kill myself out of fear for the stupidity I’ll leave behind. Stupid people.
It gets so dark so unbearable sometimes. Sometimes has become so frequent.
I dont even understand the point of so many things like
Why do we care for our family?
How can we trust stuff made by people 20 years ago, cos what surety is that the cycle I am on won’t break down in pieces the very next second, and so much morel
Then I start thinking about the weird thoughts I am thinking about are total tactless and non sense. I am non sense. Lol
What you feel and say is not nonsense they are your feelings and thoughts and you are entitled to them regardless of what others may think. Hotlines can never help people struggling with suicidal thoughts because they can never understand what you are feeling and how you see things and they can never be trained to do so only someone who is in your shoes can understand and I doubt that they would tell you that your thoughts of suicide are wrong so unless you really don’t want to die suicide hotline then can only help
they sign up to do the right thing… I’m trying to sympathize with the noob.
Maybe it’s harder to break the ice with a big “You’ve been suffering for years and years”
Some people are afraid of making other’s cry… so they tread lightly.
I mean, were you bawling? and then “I feel like you’re depressed”
because that’s just horrible…
