Weird experiences with crisis lines
Hi… I have been having a pretty rough time lately and have tried ringing beyond blue and lifeline and the suicide callback service… I don’t know if I have just been unlucky, but I feel like the people on the other end of the line are just going through a checklist and not really listening… I feel desperate to talk to a human being sometimes… I know they are probably limited with what they can do, but it sometimes actually makes me feel even worse, and more isolated. Do other people struggle with this? These forums have actually been the best place I have found for talking to people about this stuff. I know I have been on here a lot lately, but I just need human contact so desperately at the moment. Feeling lonely and just needing kind people to respond. Happy to be a kind person for someone else, too…
