Reminds me of the day I called one of those.
It took ages for them to answer and when they did well, let's just say I ended up more suicidal than before the call lol

This has happened to me several times, well I must have called at the wrong time.

I've called before. Ended up with police on my doorstep. No hospital, thankfully. Thank God this place exists so I (and many others) can talk honestly about it all

Suicide hotlines don't want to listen, they want to "save" you, lol.

 

[wait.what]

I've called a few of those. One reminded me of someone's exasperated mom who got dragged out of the shower: "Are you shot in the head? Are you bleeding out? No? Then why the FUCK did you call me?!" I called one of the newer ones this summer, and I could have sworn the hotline worker had fallen asleep at points. Looooooooong awkward pauses. Maybe that's the next step beyond "not judging"—"offering no input whatsoever." Most of the time it's just someone triaging you for the hospital, which I guess is useful. Saves you a trip to the ER if you're not the sort of case they would admit. (Although let's be honest: nearly anybody can be the kind of case a hospital does or doesn't admit if you know the Magic Hospital Words.)

So yeah ... I don't think I've ever had a hotline actually not pick up on me, but I haven't found them very helpful all the same.

The hotline is an illusion

How about this one?

Me when the interviewer asks me where I see myself in five years:



Jokes aside, I have no idea what to do with my life.
