Crisis line cried hearing my story

People on hotlines are just people. It's not that intense a training. I did it for a long time.

Ted Bundy volunteered at suicide prevention call center. Apparently no red flags were spotted by his supervisors.

Yeah, I think it was a work-study program for his psychology degree.

He also saved a boy from drowning.

It seems odd that a guy like him could talk someone down from the edge, but serial killers often are masters at compartmentalization.

I heard most of them volunteer just for status or to be seen as "helpful" to the society when they have no freaking clue what they are doing. Especially when you tell them you are suicidal, they would push you into answering what they want and never accept "I don't know" or "I'm not sure" as an answer (they'd rather you make things up)

Just wonder what could be the question that they push you into answering. Nevertheless i believe you, just asking. From my experience talking to hotlines is like talking to chatgpt, they mostly offer no advice and simply sympathize because its their job. Not sure if it could be improved tho

The last bit of the sentences referred to when I was in the hospital, after attempting and I believe while I was already hooked up to an IV (or was going to be) and this MH nurse really wouldn't leave me alone at all and kept on being in my face and pushing for information so I had nowhere to go and nowhere to escape anyways even if I don't want to answer her...
