Genuinely frustrated right now.

Put my projects on hold yesterday and most of today because somebody told me that they felt like they needed to call the suicide hotline but instead called me.

Turns out they've been talking about suicide for decades and this is just kind of a normal behavior for them When they are in a depressive cycle. Seriously, you don't throw that shit around lightly with me. There's a joke with some people that I'm emotionless and cold, but I actually care very deeply about the people I consider close. I come off cold, probably due to my trust issues and the fact that it takes me a while to warm up to people(Thanks, Trauma).

So now I'm sitting here in the rain, blinded with fucking anger. I was supposed to go check in on this person tomorrow, but now I kind of feel like blocking their number and punching them if I ever fucking see them again. Definitely feeling insulted.

Hey there, it sounds like you've been through a tough situation and your emotions are running high. Dealing with someone who casually mentions suicidal thoughts can be incredibly challenging and emotionally draining.

It's completely valid to feel frustrated, angry, and even insulted in this kind of scenario. Your emotions are valid, and it's okay to feel the way you do. It's clear that you care deeply about the people in your life, even if your exterior may come across as cold or emotionless at times.

Remember that setting boundaries and taking care of your own mental well-being is crucial too. If this person's behavior has crossed a line for you, it's important to prioritize your own mental health first.

Take some time for yourself to process these feelings, maybe step back from the situation temporarily if needed. And remember, it's okay to seek support for yourself as well during challenging times like these.

Sending positive vibes your way amidst the stormy feelings – take care of yourself!

i get this.

the fastest way back is forgive, release, do something you enjoy.

Unfortunately, the next thing I have to do is go to the restaurant, but I'm probably going to cook myself a decent meal tonight, even if it's late.

Oooof tough one. All I say as someone whose struggled with this before, I'd never call a hotline, but I would call a friend.

So, it's nice to see you taking it seriously.

Yeah, I understand not calling the hotlines. They probably don't help as much as people think they do.

I try to be there for friends. I've had too many people I know die from drugs or suicide. So it's not something I take lightly.

Hotlines can be a joke.

I would have no problem communicating to them the degree of disrespect it takes to pull that kind of shit.
