Re: not coping

i tried to connect to a helpline but theywere the least helpful yet. i tried to talk and the person changed it to asking if i had dinner, what id had and then said if i wanted to connect again later i could.

Re: not coping

hard to reach out when you get responses like that @NatureLover @Eve7

wasnt really sure what i was suppose to say to that so the conversation was ended after 10 minutes

Re: not coping

I'm sorry to hear you had that experience @outlander and it's hard to know what other peoples intentions are, but perhaps they were trying to be friendly and distract you in some way? I'm not really sure, but it's a shame to hear it wasn't helpful for you and I hope it doesn't discourage you from reaching out in future.

Re: not coping

im not sure @Paperdaisy it wasnt overly helpful to dismiss someones response to their question and then change the subject though

Re: not coping

That must have been so frustrating @outlander particularly given how difficult it is to reach out in the first place. I hope that you have better experiences in future. I'm wondering if the SANE peer support service would be useful?
