@Snowflake how can a crisis service be so dismissive of how someone feels. I honestly give up even reaching out anymore.

@Snowflake yes I did. I guess I really am just not worth helping.

@Snowflake it's not passing and being so dismissed like that has only made it worse. I've had enough.

Hi again @Former-Member, i have sent you a private message and we are here supporting you as best we can. I know you are aware we are not crisis so am encouraging you to call 000 if needed or try again Lifeline 131114. I know you said you felt worse when they didn't assist you earlier but if you try again, you will get another counsellor I'm sure. I am so sorry you are feeling so awful today. Some of the grounding exercises could be helpful? which ones have helped you in the past?
Warm regards
Traveller

@Former-Member good morning.
I don't really know what to say/what might help. I'm here though.

Morning @Former-Member
I managed a couple of hrs sleep.
I woke up thinking about you.
I hope you have managed.I know other nice people in the forum have been a saving grace for everyone having a hard time last night.
I hope the messages of support and friendship you need right now are making a difference for you.
I know you are worth fighting for. You are one of the first people I have interacted with on a forum.
Things will feel better soon.
I will keep checking in. I hope you’re able to get some rest. And a warm cuppa tea for your soul.
from @Today
