Every time I think about calling a suicide hotline I stop myself because I’m overwhelmed by the concept of having to explain my life to a total stranger. It seems like the first 3 hours would be spent just catching them up. Why bother?

I’ve called, multiple ones, multiple times. Never seemed to help. So far this is the best therapy crisis prevention support group I’ve found.
Same here.
No hotline ever helped me…
And at least one of them put me on HOLD and left me sitting there.
Jesus Cordless! Is there anything we don’t have in common?
jesus cordless, is this what we call u now
They put YOU on hold too????
@alan: There’s plenty we don’t have in common. You have a Y chromosome and a license that lets you drive huge trucks.
License?
Yeah… I’ve also been told, it’s 3am go to bed, it’ll be better in the morning…. what’s better? My problems? Or is suicide better in the sunrise? I may never know.
@alan: No license?…..?
I guiltily admit I laughed at the part about how suicide is better in the sunrise.
Possibly it’s because there’s always the chance that someone is cooking bacon in the background.
But, honestly, if there’s bacon cooking in the background, that alone is a reason to live for at least 24 more hours.
We don’t have hotlines over here (i think we don’t), but from what sp members have said lots of times… yup, those don’t work for most people, but for some they do. Giving it a shot costs you nothing tho, who knows? maybe it might help.
3 hours? How long is a normal session? I’ve never called one before… I attempted to use a chat based one, but they were offline, of course.
I was gonna make a hotline bling joke but nah. You know they’re actually considering charging for calling hotlines over here… I called one once it was awful got someone who really didn’t like their job and who actually told me to go kill myself and stop wasting their time… -.-
wtf
wow.
Fucking government can’t believe they plan on charging for calling the hotlines isn’t it bad enough they’re trying to change our flag >.< apparently they made their decisions about it which I haven't read -.-
Odd thought…
If life support was malfunctioning. You call customer service. Would they suggest unplugging it, wait 5 minutes and plug it back in?
Yes.
After you’d already been on hold for 40 minutes.
Or would they charge $1.00 per minute you use for life support -.- Or even tell you to stop wasting their time seriously if you don’t like your job quit -.- XD I tried calling a hotline just now and hung up because they literally charge $1.00 per minute -.-
Suicide Hotline: our times valuable, your life isn’t…
Suicide Hotline: Give us your money then fuck off….
So, I just did the math, I make about 24 cents a minute at work.
*flies on jetpack* Sorry I don’t know what to say here…
@alan: So what this means is that you should start a phone hotline of your own, where people pay a dollar a minute.
You could say anything you wanted, really, as long as you kept them on the line for at least a minute.
Them: “I’m in a bad mood today. What should I do?”
You: “Here, listen to this song about strippers….”
