Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member

Just to answer your earlier query, if you're working on a phone I don't think it's possible to see who has liked your post. On an iPad, and I presume it's the same on a desktop computer, you can click on one side of the likes bar and it will show you who has liked the comments.

There is also a tick-box for an "email me when someone replies" function.

Do you have facility to receive emails ?

Just got onto Lifeline - useless support,

Fobbed me off - what the hell, why do I bother? there's no point in even trying anymore.

can't get anything right. how can they fob me off? they must hatge me too

I'm going into hospital on Moday and I am freaking out

Hi @BlueBay

I'm sorry to hear you got fobbed off on Lifeline ....

Do you want to stay on here and chat for a while ?

Otherwise maybe email the mods and ask some questions about Lifeline ... maybe if you call back, or go on their online chat service, you might get somebody else to talk to who doesn't fob you off ...

I'm making some guocomale to go with Nachos for dinner at our house tonight - is still quite early over here in the west - but I have my iPad right here and I am happy to listen and chat for a while if you want ....

@Former-Member, don't be scared of going into hospital, I've found it really helpful in the past. They're there to help you get better and if it really sucks, you can always leave!

Hi @BlueBay, sorry to hear that you arent feeling great tonight and that Lifeline fobbed you off. I know that it can be hard sometimes and you may feel like they dont care. I'm just wondering if you've ever given the Suicide Call Back Service a go?

@Former-Member Going into hospital can be scary. What about it is freaking you out at the moment?

Hi @Former-Member

What is troubling you most about going to hospital ?

Hi @Former-Member

Yeah ... that can be a bit daunting when you open your email and see a high number of responses, but some are repeats in that you will get a notification that a thread has been responded to generally, then you will get another one if you have been responded to specifically, and another one again if someone has liked what you posted.

I take it as a general cue .... if there are a lot of emails pertaining to a particular thread, it's easier to just open the first email for that thread and read ahead through posts from there. Then when you go back to the emails you can just delete all the ones that you have just read on the thread itself and it clears you inbox much faster that way.

I have a folder that I just drop emails into that I want to come back to, say at bedtime, when I have more time to sit and go through them, and just delete the repeat versions in the moment of filing the ones I want to revisit later .... does that make sense ?

Others just jump on and off as they please, with a hi and a bye, without worrying too much about what they "missed" in between, rather than responding to or reading through the whole lot.

I am sure you will work out what is comfortable for you .... 😊

Hi @Former-Member, I wanted to respond to you last night but was freaked out by something at the time and couldn't. I don't know if you made the call or not. Happy to let you know my experiences if you still want to know. I hope you are doing better💜😊

@Former-Member it's sounds like it could help. As @Former-Member said you can only try and see how it goes. I've always found hospital to be a complete circuit breaker for me personally. 💜😊
