i know i’m new and i don’t know much stuff that goes around over here but listen ,
what do you think of a thread where people can tell the story of their life and maybe
open up a little bit , get out of their shells , you know , **share a bit **
there are lots of people out there who would like someone to hear their story , feel their pain .
have you ever thought that maybe , 1 in a 1’000’000 that someone out there dying inside and you can help by listening.
you know all of us had that little friend that always was a bit …sad
and she/he would always come to you and talked for you because they trusted you , and you would make 'em feel better just by listening.
for example , i was a kid full of darkness and fears and sadness…i used to cut my self
but than someone special listened to me , i got better
i said goodbye to my pills and shrinks and shit.
because my friend listened
he helped
and now it’s my turn.
i want to help
please think of this thread like a life saving matter.
please don’t ignore
it saved me from suicide
now we can save a lot of other people stuck in their shells.
think of it
and give me your most humble opinion and answer.
thank you so much.
That’s nice and all, but if you really want to help, encourage such people to seek professional help. While it might be personally gratifying to think you’ve done a good thing, you’ll be doing them a much bigger favor in the long run if they get proper medical attention from people trained to deal with it.
And you’ll somehow do a better job than a professional?
While I’ll give you credit for having your heart in the right place, the thing that will work best in the long-run and for the most people is getting professional help. Sure, you might get lucky once or twice, but you’ll also delay even more people from finally getting the help they need.
Welcome! I’m like you; I just like to get things out in the open. We all suffer; ain’t no shame in it. As for the details of my life story, well, that story gets more boring the older I get. Sufficed to say, having a past to heal from has changed me for the better. I like who I have become, and I don’t think I would be that person if it weren’t for the rough times. There is a hard lesson I have learned, though, and that is other people’s happiness is NOT my responsibility. I can try to give advice based on my own experience but everybody has to work out their own salvation.
Bastyna, have you considered volunteering to answer the phone at a suicide hotline? It sounds like exactly the kind of thing that you’re interested in doing and you could definitely do a lot of good there. There are a lot of people out there who just need someone to talk to.
I take issue with the snarky remarks being made about using all lower-case letters. It’s not considered rude, like typing in all caps, and this is a casual internet message board, not a grad school dissertation.
