Need someone to talk to? - General

This looks like a clever and useful site. I just hope there isn't some jerk who tells people wrong things and make them suicidal or something. The concept might be good but it's also easy to abuse when most people there already feel depressed and mentally down.

some girl was feeling down cause she was gay and anxious about it and i helped to cheer her up and and said she is just overthinking it and in the end she was happy and then i was happy

I love this kind of stuff, gonna check this out when I get home.

It's really tough when you get people going through the same things that you are. [editline]11th September 2013[/editline] Holy shit I just talked someone out of suicide and convinced them to go back into therapy.

You realize people on the other end are probably not who they say they are..... please dont be naive. its more like 70/30. 70 percent are lying. edit: but its a nice thought. and who knows who is helping who.

70% are lying really? i mean if someone comes up with a fake story about getting bullied and sticks around for a hour telling me im sure they must be getting off on the excitement so im still helping them :I

Well that was fast. test run and made a new friend. Aighty then.

Snip sorry

Holy shit this girl cuts herself. [editline]12th September 2013[/editline] ...jesus because her father hits her repeatedly and her boyfriend is cheating on her. sister died when she was little, mom left after that, no other siblings. [editline]adf[/editline] Yeah this is a definite case of physical abuse. [editline]adf[/editline] [I]It physically hurts for her to walk because of it.[/I] [editline]adf[/editline] [I][B]Its been going on for years.[/B][/I] [editline]adf[/editline] I'm getting her to email a teacher or something. this shit needs to stop [I]yesterday.[/I]

Aight this is getting fucked up and I'm becoming unsure if I'm being trolled or not. I'm starting to lean towards yeah, but goddamnit if I bail I could be making a bad move. [editline]adfasdf[/editline] So, same girl. apparently its more than -just- physical abuse... if you catch my drift. She's emailed her teacher, but she doesn't think she'll make it to school. Teacher wants to see her though so she's bugging everyone she can for a ride. Please be fake. [I]Please.[/I] [editline]adfasdf[/editline] I don't think she went to school. regardless she says the police are at her place now. the hell have i started. ohfuck they're gonna start compiling evidence soon if its going that route. which means our email conversation is gonna get found by them. :ohdear:

I worry too much. I worry about my girlfriend, I worry about my family, I worry about school, i worry that I worry too much and I'm going to lose it all because of it. I'm worried that I'm making this all up and I'm worried that it's very very real. I don't want to be worried i dont want to be anxious all the time, i want to be happy. But i'm worried that wont happen.

Never thought I'd end up helping a married woman with 4 children decide how to behave with her husband spending 2 hours in conversation.

why do girls like discussing their shit with total strangers on the web. most the time they know what the right thing to do is. they just want to hear someone else's command to do it so they can end up in a resolved state of mind but end up doing nothing about it

[QUOTE=ozzypozzy;42188502]There isn't much to worry about with the police seeing the conversation is there?[/QUOTE] No, not at all, its just that "Holyshit I'm about to get involved with the authorities aren't I" feeling. This whole situation is fucked, but the typing style has been consistent and none of the information has conflicted. She was taken to the hospital and tons of tests are being done and getting patched up and stuff. She had to take medication to get to sleep, she told me she didn't sleep much these days because she didn't want to wake up to him being in her room. They're still looking for her father. This girl is making me cry.

helping people is fantastic.

help i agreed to this [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raksha_Bandhan[/url] with someone on that site. i dont even, um, yeah.

I wish this site got more traffic. It's fantastic to vent for a bit to a stranger and hear their opinions and their support. I always help somebody else once I start feeling better. I'm bookmarking this and I'm going to try to help somebody at least once a day. It'll help me with my own problems, just to get some perspective.

Okay so they found her father, her mother that left when she was little died 5 years ago, Grandparents 2 years ago. One uncle is in jail, and she has an aunt in Texas somewhere. No other information on the rest of her family. So that means so far she has no idea where she's going to end up after the hospital. The authorities apparently don't know about my involvement yet, but I told her that if they ask, don't hide me. I don't have a thing to hide from them and I've done nothing but help. I'm perfectly willing to talk to them. But she says she's finally eating and sleeping again, which is good. At this point, if this person is a troll, then they get the president's award for trolling excellence because this level of effort is incredible. Frankly, I'd be relieved as hell if this [I]was[/I] a troll, because that means that there is 1 less girl being physically and sexually abused by her father. I'm debating asking for a picture, but I doubt she'd go with that.

I joined.

[CODE]You : Hello. Venter : Hi! You : How are you today? Venter : I have been better!! You : What seems to be the problem? smile Venter : I am sick and have a lot of homework to do, and I miss my boyfriend :/ You : The sooner you finish your homework the sooner you can see/text him. ^.^ Venter : Good point smile thank you! You : Also, you've been sick? Aww, I hope nothing too serious. Venter : It's nothing bad, I have a fever and strep throat. Thanks very much for the concern! You : Not a problem lass, now disconnect and get back to that homework! razz Venter : Thank you! [/CODE] I should do this for a living.

[QUOTE=Kiririn;42228445]I should do this for a living.[/QUOTE] I had a similar situation while venting, only the other person (I'm inclined to say she) would drop her advice and then disconnect. It kind of felt weird, but nonetheless it helped saying what I had on my mind.

I'm too scared to help someone because I don't think I'm qualified to deal with major depression

So i decided i would try the listening half out, got someone who just said they were depressed and disconnected. Figured I was going to get a lot of that, but ended up talking to someone dealing with bullies, depression, suicide, parental divorce, no friends, etc. We've been holding conversation for over 3 hours. oh god she just said she likes talking to me.. these feels

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;42239102]I'm too scared to help someone because I don't think I'm qualified to deal with major depression[/QUOTE] This. I've got nothing else to do and I'd like to try help people out with anxiety after suffering through it myself and I've received help from somebody else before on a similar website. I'd like to help but I'm afraid I'll screw somebody up worse. Should I have taken a course or something?

Wow this is a brilliant site, I'm always open and happy to assist people with issues they're having so this site is ideal for me. Although I'm not too experienced I can still offer solid advice and I've met some really nice people. Thanks OP.

Not being able to help is the most painful thing ever. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/7ZgmRyR.png[/IMG] [editline]22nd September 2013[/editline] oh for fucks sake [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/hyjBPHO.png[/IMG]

I just told some kid that dragons don't exist, I kinda feel bad about it now.

So, update on the one I've been talking to since last post. She's in a temporary foster home, they let her go get her cat so now she has a companion, first therapy session is next week. Things are finally looking up for her. This feels... good.

My favorite thing about this site has got to be the aliases. "kind-hearted toothpaste" is my all time favorite.
