Why do I even bother calling what is the point trying to fight so hard when it just gets me nowhere there is nothing left to do I might as well just give up at least then it wouldn’t hurt so much.

Hey @Eden1919 I'm sorry to hear you've had that experience. The lines must be busy tonight!

I'm wondering if there is anything here that can help? 

If it's an emergency I would urge you to call 000. I'm so sorry you feel alone tonight. We are here with you 💝

hi @Eden1919

@outlander  I am sorry you have also struggled with helplines. 

@hanami  today i feel worse. 

today i feel terrible i dont know what to do anymore everything is too much i am trying really hard but i honestly dont think i can do this much longer i suppose it doesnt really matter if i choose to go then it is what it is. it isnt like anyone can help me and i have done everything i can so if that is what it comes to then so be it i guess.

Hi @Eden1919 I'm hearing things are really hard for you right now and it all feels like it's too much. I'm really concerned for you. 

I understand you are trying really hard to reach out and it feels hopeless because the helplines aren't working. Is there anyone else you can reach out to for support? 

I'm hearing the level of distress you're experiencing and you don't deserve to go through this alone. Did you reach out to any of the other services I sent to you? I'm also unsure of which helpline you have tried but perhaps a different one? 

Lifeline 13 11 14  
Suicide Call Back Service 1300 659467  
beyondblue Support Service 1300 22 46 36

I'm wondering if it would be helpful to speak to your psychiatrist or psychologist? 

If things escalate for you I would urge you to call 000. 

We are sitting with you. Please let us know how we can best support you right now 💝

Please take care.
