As someone who has been there before I don't think i wanted to die when I called. Which is actually why I called.
I didn't want to die. But I had run out of reasons to live and needed someone to help me find them again in that moment.

did it work?
Nope, I'm dead.
On a serious note, they stalled long enough for me to be able to call my mom. It was the middle of the night when I called and I didn't want to wake her up. Not like my mom would prefer bad sleep over loosing me. But that's not how the depressed mind works. So they kept me on there for several hours until I called her.
That was many years ago and after therapy and lots more I'm doing really well now. Way better than I thought possible for a long time.
Well, I'm glad you're here, friend :D
I called them once in tears and said I was going to kill myself and I needed someone to stop me and they were like "do you have a gun?" "How do you plan on doing it?" "If you have a weapon I'm going to send police to your location" and I was like "what the fuck stop why would you do that." And they said "if you're planning on killing yourself I'll send police to intercept you, if you're not then Why are you wasting my time"
That was sort of so shocking that I ended up confused and didn't kill myself
So it...worked? 🙃
Sorry about all that, man. I'm glad you're still here and I hope things have been better since.
Obviously not...
i mean the phone call.
If you'd feel comfortable sharing I'd also be curious to know how the phone call played out for you.
The ghost of depression past
Given that you use this meme template which shows this bigot, yeah I don't think so.
You don't think so what?
I think they're saying they wouldn't want to convince Steven Crowder or whoever that is to live, because they disagree with the worldview he advocates
He’s also a garbage human being outside of his alt right views
Do I wanna know
Every time I see this meme format I come to the comments specifically looking to see who gets angry about it this time.
Instructions unclear, I'm inside Hotline Miami and can't get out.
Me when I talk to chatgpt
Certainly!
