I had to call the suicide hotline last night.

  1. Be honest. They can’t help if they don’t know what’s going on.
  2. Wording yourself a certain way is gonna be the difference between them feeling afraid and “angry” vs. them joining your side and helping you get help. Example: if you have any urges to self harm, saying really intense things and yelling/screaming at them isn’t gonna help. If you act a little bit calmer and say something like, “I don’t feel like I’m in a safe headspace, I feel like I could harm myself, and I really need help to get through these feelings”
  3. Please reach out for real medical help. Unfortunately, a lot of the people at hotlines work as volunteers and don’t get paid for any of this. I’ve heard a lot of experiences where people didn’t receive any help or relief. Visiting a doctor or therapist is going to fare much better in the end

I don’t know if it’s just me being over dramatic, but I feel people treat each other so bad (myself included. I feel I’m always the punching bag or the one being bullied repeatedly) that it usually makes me ponder if life is really worth living?

America is a terrible country for mental health! Jumping off the bridge tonight. I have decided I am going to kill myself. Why antideprassant caused me more problems? Busted with CP I deleted TikTok and my life has gotten so much better I get the urge to punch my roommate in the face when he chews with his mouth open I can't figure out what's going on within me, It's the Strangest feeling EVER. Everyone wants an obsessive, mentally ill girl until she actually shows her mental illnesses and obsessiveness. Why are psych wards identical to prisons and apparently made to punish people with mental illness? Is this just part of my OCD or is there something more wrong with me? (23F)
