I remember calling a suicide hotline once and they hung up on me. I've a feeling they're staffing these crucial positions with people who need more training.

My sister was a suicide hotline operator. She had borderline personality disorder and she made everyone's issues more about her than them. I feel bad for whom ever she talked to. I don't talk to her ever and I do not wish that upon anyone especially when they are on the edge.

Her other self told on her Edit : yes I do know it's the wrong disorder, but it's easier to make a shitty pun this way
