Crisis line told me to help myself. no other support for suicidal ideation.

I reached out to my therapist and she wasn’t able to talk today. I see her Tuesday anyhow.

I ended up calling a friend and I’m staying with them. They don’t know what’s up, not really... I’m not in a place to try to tell them. They just know I don’t like the holidays (true) and really needed to stay with someone tonight (also true.) She is studying and I’m doing a few work-related things.

It’s helping to be here. Far better than a crisis line or ER.

@Justmehere...I am here...and I too care...and I'll be daily checking in to see if...by chance...you need me. Hugs.

The Suicide Call Back Line in Australia is very different, and I have had good experiences. Life line is a mixed bag - with 50% okay and 50% like the responses you are talking about. Beyond Blue is beyond a joke.

So sorry to read you are getting such poor responses @Justmehere.

Crises told me that they did not have the time for me and asked if I could check back in the next...

Asked you to call back the next day????? Wow. What a bunch of twits.
