I would love to talk to you. If you are an AC I could upgrade you. Hang on friend.

A kind and uplifting word could make a very big difference.. could it not? I would like to think it could...and it is very thoughtful for you to care so much that you would even post a thread to try and reach him. That being said, it ISN'T a suicide hotline...but, I think that people can feel a close attachment to the people on the forum, and feel that it is the only one's they can reach out to. It is a tough call. For those who are being unfeeling...please remember...that is what is happening to our Government, and the closer you get to being unfeeling, the closer you get to being just like them. :) |

A kind and uplifting word could make a very big difference.. could it not? I have yet to see a suicide thread saved by Jesus. What happens is: A) Person says they are going to kill themselves. B) A bunch of concerned people respond with various methods. C) We never hear from OP again and either become immune to it or wander through the day with this sense of just having been to a funeral. I can understand that. I have only been on for a short time, and have read a couple of suicide threads. It left me feeling quite empty when I didn't know what the outcome was. It is hard to deal with. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 32980376 Spain 01/25/2013 03:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am sure many would volunteer to help suicide hotline is rather a negative choice of words I think more like a help and support hotline |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 32810663 United Kingdom 01/25/2013 03:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | To the person this thread is about: Please know there are those who care and understand. I know something of how you feel. Those who have never experienced bad depression might not understand how desperate you can feel. When you feel like that, it is hard to think clearly and logically. Like a dark, thick, cloudy fog descends on your mind, on your very spirit. Sometimes, I have a strong feeling that there's a greater picture. It's as if we're trying to travel along a wild river with dangerous torrents, and thinking that this is all there is. But then rising high up in the sky and looking down on this long winding river. Seeing where the torrents end, and a calm begins. And then seeing more torrents and more calms. But most importantly seeing where the river is going and understanding why, and it all making sense. I feel right now we simply, for whatever reason, don't (consciously, at least) have the whole picture. A bit like, when you have formed a negative opinion about something or someone, and then more information comes along and you gain a deeper understanding and realise what you previously thought was not really how it is because it was based on a limited understanding. So I think maybe that is how it is about life. And this can bring me a little hope in those dark moments. I hope this helps a little. If not, try to find comfort in knowing you are not alone in those dark momnts, and that others who truly care are thinking of you, like I do you now. Thinking of you and praying you get through this. |

Seriously does that matter? It is quite simply a real flesh and blood human being reaching out hoping to make contact with another flesh and blood human being. It is not a tough call for me at all really. As a Christian my feelings are .. If I stand by and do nothing and God forbid something were to happen.. that individual's blood is on my hands. No brainer. I would much rather error on the side of being conceived as being improper as opposed to turning my back on someone who was feeling so desperate they were contemplating taking their life. Forgive me if I sound harsh.. I certainly don't mean to. I'm just frustrated is all. I can't believe so many are so willing to compartmentalize on a life and death situation and say "sorry... go call 911.. this isn't the right place for you to reach out".

Angelic_Warrior (OP) User ID: 23290196 United States 01/25/2013 03:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think maybe we should have a help hotline or thread here on Glp..for those that need even if just a kind word.. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32980376 I am sure many would volunteer to help suicide hotline is rather a negative choice of words I think more like a help and support hotline I was thinking that too .. but Lisa Lisa has her prayer request thread.

Ralph--a house dog User ID: 25802009 United States 01/25/2013 03:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I understand the reasoning; I have seen horribly cruel things said to such posters and cringe to think they may have been pushed over the edge by something they read here when most everyone else is trying to comfort them. BUT is it possible that perhaps mods &/or people they ask to help could respond to the distraught person after taking down the thread? For whatever it is worth, at least an effort would have been made.

I can't believe so many are so willing to compartmentalize on a life and death situation and say "sorry... go call 911.. this isn't the right place for you to reach out". I agree with you. What i offered the person who was feeling that way, was for them to personally contact me, and I would talk to them about it. This place has alot of emotionally "retarded" people, who will give really bad advice, or joke around with them, and that can be a really good reason to not have them come here. I think in situations like this, it would be good for GLP to have the names of a few sites that the person could go to. Not everyone here is going to be educated or feeling enough to say the right things. Thanks so much for your caring ways! |
