themutedtrumpetRemember, 988 is always there for you ❤️
So, I have a question. Were you reaching out because you were experiencing a personal emotional crisis and looking for support, or were you simply trolling a crisis line?
It appears to be the latter.
“Appears to be” yeah how dare I reach out for help. I should be grateful for the “help” I got. I’m a huge ass fucking faker because I’m not brave enough to walk into traffic.
hazelYou established in another post that this help line is unable to provide the support you’re looking for. If you strongly feel that this is the case, and if you are sincerely seeking support, stop contacting 988. Continuing to do so is a waste of your own time and the staff’s, and further increases the wait time for others attempting to use the service.
The help line is unable to provide any help. They don’t hire therapists, they don’t hire trained people, they hire people with psych BAs that read a script and call the cops the second you go off of it.
But no one wants to hear this. Everyone wants to feel good about themselves when they post a 988 ad or say “there’s no stigma in asking for help.” But there is, 988 is a joke.
