Another Crisis Line

So glad you are here! To allow time to accommodate all those that want to talk with us we reserve up to 90 minutes for each person. What would you like to talk about?

J:

Hi, I'm J-----!

Me:

Hi

Me:

I am more depressed than I have ever been in life. The more I look for help the worse I feel.

Me:

I spent my life caring for other people and now I have no one. I don't know what happened.

J:

I'm so sorry. :/ What happened to them?

Me:

I don't know.

Me:

They have their own lives to live.

Me:

They have families, and whole lives.

Me:

I took care of my nephew when his drug addicted mother abandoned him and his alcoholic father couldn't take care of him. His mom got sober and came back into his life resentful of me.

Me:

That's when I lost him. I recently asked him to go to dinner with me for my birthday and he slammed the door in my face.

Me:

I ended up with no children, no family, dead end job in a dead end place.

Me:

My life has always been challenging but I carried on. I can't do that anymore.

J:

That's heartbreaking. Hey, my shift ends in about 5 minutes. Would you like to be transferred? I will update them on what's up.

J:

What is keeping you going?

Me:

nothing

Me:

sure

Me:

you can transfer me

J:

Okay, hope your night goes better and you find something that is worth living for!

Me:

doubt it

The next guy wanted to pray for me.

I don’t believe in god.
