If I was suicidal, I'd think the last thing I'd want to do is chat with some phony jagoff. How effective can these hotlines really be?

If you called I'd propose phone sex.

Now this conversation just became strangely awkward. I apologize.

*shrug* Same reason why usually guys shoot themselves whereas girls OD on medication. Whether you want attention, or whether you just want to kill yourself.

They should call 'em "Desperate Attention Hotlines." They can also install those Futurama-esque suicide booths around the same time.

We were told to expect a few calls like that, and also how to handle them.

So...how would you "handle" it?

Someone wants to help, and those of you who probably don't do anything yourselves but try to bring others down jumps down their throat... what a community!

(but don't worry, if you call I'll still try and assist you through your crisis)

That's cute, except I'm not going to reply with everything I do for others because firstly I'm not petty enough to do something like that and secondly I don't want to steal your thunder as being the biggest attention whoring waste of forum cycles this website has ever known.

And if I was in a state of mind to kill myself, talking to you would make me paint the walls with my brain.

Classic

1. If it seems they've been abused/traumatized and that it would help them get something off their chests, let them talk...

2. But if they say things like "What are you wearing?" and use very explicit language (you should be able to tell a "please help" call from an "I'm trying to get off on this" call), then you should ask for the reason why they called, etc. and try to get to the issue at hand (if there is one).


CorporateRecreation = Worse than any attention whore, he's a groupie! *pats groupie on the head* Now go run off and play silly one... I have no more time for the likes of you.

Except that everything he's said thus far is the complete and utter truth, and your thin attempts to veil it have so far been nothing more than a couple one-liners trying to attack his character, while it is well known that he's one of the most selfless and modest persons on this board.

 

You just need to know how to use a phone, and 34% of the english language.

How about you make a thread with a story and how you helped save someones life. Instead of making a thread just for attention and post count++.

When it comes to suicide, just say no, ok?

"Give me one good reason why I should live"

......"No"

MadTV is great

I passed my written exam and oral interview today, and was accepted into the training program at the Los Angeles Suicide Prevention Center. The training looks particularly vigorous: 9:45am-5pm, every Saturday, for seven Saturdays in a row.

Upon completing the program, volunteers are committed to work for one full year, 4 hours/day, one day a week. Available shifts are offered every day, from: 8:30pm-12:30am, 12:30-4:30am, 4:30-8:30am, and 8:30am-12:30pm (phew!). Since I work from 9-6 M-F, I'll either have to work on a weekend or take an 8:30-12:30am shift.

I was told the phone traffic is quite heavy in the LA area (we also accept calls from around the nation), and to expect 5-6 calls/night, from 20-40 minutes each. It's a big committment, but I think it'll be one that will be a positive and rewarding experience.

It will be a depressing and unrewarding experience. My Step-Dad did it for a few years and I don't recall him ever saying positive about the experience. I'm sure he helped people but damn, your talking with the most depressed people on the planet. I imagine being a police officer would be more uplifting.
