I took out my phone to call the suicide hotline, and I saw that I had gotten a text from the girl who I really really like, telling me that she couldn't ask for a better friend. I have never had a friend before, and it made me so happy. I am really upset that she is moving away.
congrats! although i'm sorry she's moving away. but this is quite an accomplishment. I'm in the same boat, honestly, and I know how much that would mean to me. There's hope
I was going to call the suicide hotline because I was deeply depressed and thought about how easily I could just end that. And then I realized that I think this a lot, and then I realized I should probably talk to someone about it, and then I realized that I had no one to talk to, which made me even more dpressed, and so I decided to call. But I didn't actually end up calling, and I've been going through a range of emotions all day.
I have received training to be a Crisis Counselor. Depending on where you live I have a book of resources that I may be able to offer you. If you would feel comfortable PMing me I would gladly lend an ear! Oh just read your location. I would definitely call that number.
Yeah, I know the feel. I used to use helplines like that a fair amount (before I realized that I totally suck at human interaction). They would almost make me feel worse afterwards. And being told by someone that you're valuable--even in the slightest bit--can help you in a bigger way. When it's not just a voice over the phone that says the same thing all day, it means so much more. Hopefully you guys can stay in communication after she's gone.
