Volunteer or Paid Staff?

Do you feel sympathy to your callers?

Looking into paid options but I might go back to school and become a therapist instead

Always when I'm in the call but sometimes the real fucked up stories and things stick with me

Any green text stories

Most fucked up story you're willing to share?

How do you keep yourself from getting depressed after hearing that all day?

Hello OP
Im currently going through terrible hypoglycemia from alcohol abuse that gave me seizures. Tell your customers they are fucking snowflakes. Fucking pussies act depressed but don't even know what it truley is! Everyday for the past 2 months has been a painfull struggle, and im still here because i am not a pansy.

Any prank calls?

How long have you been doing this?

Take some insulin

literally nobody cares you fucking alcohlic loser

please kill yourself you scum addict, end your fucking life

Never done it but sure

What's your preferred method of suicide?

Also lost all my friends through life after highschool, my only love cheated on me with a douchbag who i hated before hand, and im songle, alone, dealling with pain struggling to even work a job the past couple months.

Literally almost every night

Almost a year

I was a volunteer hot line operator in SoCal for a year and a half

Hey thats like the opposite of my job, you are the worst person. Honestly I have heard children die, please go be a productive human

Has anyone said they're still going to kill themselfs then hung up?

Yea, sometimes even while on the line

My body is producing too much insulin
I've been clean for 2 months and quit without the knowledge of alcohol withdrawls that i somehow had in 1&1/2 years of drinking. Sooooooo ya.

This

Do you ever feel burned out?

You being clean doesn't justify you telling me to inadvertently kill people

So have i you special little snowflake. Have you ever been in crippling pain? I'll tell you now its worst then emotional trauma.

What are you supposed to do if someone kills themself while on the line, and dopeoe call in just to talk to someone while they're dying/ about to die

Have you read Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk? Ever want to do like in the book during one of those calls?

Kill yourself then???

If I do then I take the night off. Like I said, it isn't full time so I can just not go sometimes

And besides, most those pussys are wastes of space.

You report it and they try and find out who it was, I dont know what happens beyond that

Never heard of it, maybe I'll take a look

Not our fault you're literally retarded and don't know how to not fuck up your life, gay retard. My fuck this board gets more retarded with every second

google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://english4success.ru/Upload/books/1720.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwiEjfno7dLTAhUH2IMKHWAEBEUQFghcMAY&usg=AFQjCNHQuZFmKtjMuJKpOm0OGZx3CxYUTQ&sig2=oOJA6pFY4pYkdjM6-lrLuA

It's not those peoples fault they killed themselves too right? You gay retard.

If I felt that way why would I be doing what I do. Your argument is so null, you aren't changing anything. I'm not just going to suddenly think low on these people. If anyone is a waste of space its you, the person who thinks that they are above those in need even though you were once there.

What do you do to unwind from it?

...

I smoke, or sleep, but sometime the bad shit just gets to you and you have to fight it. I admit sometimes you cant help but cry

I don't think im above anything but a little snowflake who can't help themselves, sorry user but your job is shit tier at best. You talk to people who are weak mentally and given up without trying. Suicide os for the weak.
Nothing more, only less.

"I'm yelling at this girl: has she had enough?
I'm yelling: I'm not going to stand here and listen to her complain.
To stand here and try to fix her life is just a big waste of time. People don't want their
lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions.
Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left?
Just the big scary unknown.
Most people who call me already know what they want. Some want to die but are just
looking for my permission. Some want to die and just need a little encouragement. A
little push. Someone bent on suicide won't have much sense of humor left. One wrong
word, and they're an obituary the next week. Most of the calls I get, I'm only half
listening anyway. Most of the people, I decide who lives and who dies just by the tone
of their voice.
This is getting nowhere with the girl at the dance club so I tell her, Kill yourself..."

You ever get a caller then cover the receiver with your hand and say "hey guys I got a live one here. Place your bets". Then place odds on caller survivability?

I tried calling a suicide hotline once but they were busy with other people. I hung up after about 30 mins of waiting

who do you call?

Well I mean its not my job, and you really sound like you need a hug jesus fuck

not op but i know youre full of shit

Im usually ok lol, but I do have a therapist

I'm pretty sure you can sue for that

Hugs are for pussies too, user. I don't think you talked to most these scumbags. Most are weak, I've been through alot of shit in my life and im here because i, again, am not a fucking pussy.

Ah no, gonna pass on trying that too

They act like this world isn't filled with pain. They act like no one could be as depressed. Unless you have a medical condition that gives you depression, you can fuck off with the "i want attention syndrome".

> You can fuck off with the "i want attention syndrome".

The irony truly is lost on you, isn't it?

I see. You ever browse the suicide threads here on Sup Forums and try to help?

I have had 30 people kill themselves not related to the hotline. I cut for 2 years and almost got killed paying back drug dealers. My girlfriend killed her self and said I was the reason. I have been through shit too, but instead of being el macho tough guy and calling people pussies like an incompetent baby asking for attention I decided to save lives you cock twiddling fuck, now go do something productive or let your kidneys fail you alcohol abusing fuck

That can legit happen in like small towns. Happened to me before too.

Sometimes

This is your thread, im simply responding, Im not seeking shit moral fag.
And the reason im depressed is because of a medical condition. Having breakdowns for no reason. But guess who isn't dead???

respect

Is it? What if you're no good to anyone? Everyone's life would be better without you. Your girlfriend loves you, but you're just holding her back with your bullshit. You're parents adore you, but you'll always need them 100 times more than they need you. You're just a waste of resources. What little you contribute to this world is just a redundancy. You're not unique. You might as well just be a ticket taker at movie theater or a librarian. Soon you will be replaced by a robot. All that debt from college is the only thing you're really slaving away for. To pay off your degree. You and the thousands of others with the same degree and aspirations. What are you really living for? Do you really owe the world that money back? They promised you hoverboards. You got Netflix and chill.

Is your favorite game Shadow the Hedgehog?

You know how else isn't dead? The people I've stopped from killing themselves

...

I don't drink dumbass, and a alcoholic and excessive drinker are two different things. Have fun fag. Your acting like i haven't dealt with suicide from pussies. Shit, they where all weak in the head.

How do you know?

You sound pretty weak in the head too. Especially with all of that compensation.

>Waaaaah i have a shitty life because I'm a pathetic sack of shit
>im not a pussy guys!! Honest!!
>youre all a bunch of special snowflakes!! Waaaaaaaaaah!!

Shut the fuck up.
Kill yourself.
You have no value whatsoever.
End your existence.
Nobody likes you, nobody will remember you, and nobody will ever feel any kind of pity towards you.
Your life is a mistake. You were an accident gone horribly wrong.

Die in a fire, you fucking waste of sperm.

That alcohol scrambled your brain lol

Some of them have given me a way to contact them. Just to watch over them. Like a personal therapist, and they are still alive

But have you really? At best you delayed it, or they were never going to do it. When I tried to check out I didn't first call a hotline. What would be the point? Waah the world's a horrible place and I don't matter.... You listen to wankers and think you're saving them. It's like a murder hotline. If I was serious about murdering someone I wouldn't call you to have you talk me out of it. That's just silly.

This, to be honest familia.

You missed out on my response to

Should I kill myself? A corpse can't disappoint anyone.

Why even bother? World has a severe overpopulation problem and if enough people off themselves this problem would be solved already.

The second thing is. Do we really need the genes from these depressed failed humans that only eat up our recources and do not benefit us in any way?

What do you think of those Psychology with Alice threads?

Yes. Please do. Nobody wants you here, you miserable sack of shit.

Yep. Just for school credit/volunteer? Right. Had a cunt end the call because I was too "aggressive" and talked too long. So, I called back. Supervisor was put on, and I unleashed my rage on him. Said I knew where they were located and would be there shortly. Nobody cares. Fuck people.

What parts of yourself do you find disappointing? Or do you believe you are disappointing someone, if so, who? how?

Did you have to do any special training / have to pass any background checks to be able to get the job? Also, are you alone or with other people on other calls (room wise)?
You are doing god's work, keep it up, they need you.

I'm not looking at this from a world view. I just want to help people.

How often do you get Sup Forums users calling?

You're retarded. Depression IS a medical condition. It's something in the brain that doesn't work like normal people. Like any other mental illness. I guess psychotic people are special snowflakes as well.

do you honestly believe everyone's life has value?

They asked me questions on my morals and how I viewed people, and they asked about previous work, and experiences with deaths, and I had basic training

Everyones life has value, some just dont have enough

...

Well I can't pick out Sup Forums users but if you're asking about prank calls I get about 5-6 a night

Those are the wankers I was talking about. The ones who were never intending on doing it. They were scared they might, but that's a completely different thing. When you try to kill yourself you're not scared of doing it, that happens later. A "what the fuck was I thinking" moment. It's not like an addiction. Although it sounds like those people who leave information with you so you can "save" them are a sort of addict. Co-dependant little attention whores. It's no better than people who go on Sup Forums to threaten to kill themselves. If they're serious they're going to do it. If they're not then they just want attention. As opposed to witnesses.
Does this job make you feel less useless? Like you've accomplished something with that liberal arts degree?

>myhousehaswheels.txt

I have no will to live, that in itself is a disappointment to anyone who has ever invested anything in me. I make $11 an hour and i suck at my barely-above-minimum wage job, disappointing my boss who's bent over backwards to help me with everything. I don't have any sort of social life, so I'll never have kids, disappointing my parents. There's nobody else in my life. I've disappointed them all. I even disappoint myself. I have 2 overdrawn checking accounts, but my anxiety is bad enough that i can't even call the banks to resolve it. I haven't had hot water in my apartment for more than a week but I can't call my landlord to get that sorted, either. I honestly feel like everyone who cares about me would be relieved if I was gone.

I have an engineering degree lmao. But anyways thats kinda the point of a suicide hotline. To help defuse those moments of fear people get because if they aren't then they go through. Man you are one big fucking idiot aren't you. Why even bother with this thread. Not a single person supports you just piss off. Go to the shed and grab that rope

That jpg is just lazy

Nobody likes the truth. But this is it.

Nobody has any value. We are all just bags of flesh. Humans have deluded themselves into believing that they are something special, but we're no different than insects. I have no pity for others, either. Death means absolutely nothing. Life means absolutely nothing.

so a rapist or a pedophile's life has value?

Keep in mind that you have a job, the bottom isn't upon you yet. Cut some spending sort out your money problems and fix your tangible problems before your social. It will be hard but I believe in you. You probably don't believe me but most everyone misses dead people forever even subconsciously. Once you fix your money work on your life, find someone who cares but be wary of those who exploit you. I believe you can make it through

Yes but not enough to be passable, and enough to deserve anything good.

Artificial value and value we create is still value

...

Right, but I don't want to do any of those things. I want to die. I would contribute more to the world as worm-food. At least that's a contribution.
