yesterday I was doing my helping out on blah therapy and I got talking to this guy who was really suicidal
anyway, he asked me for some resources to help him, so I gave him some links. but on my way out of the site, i pressed the wrong button and disconnected from the chat with the guy despite going quickly back in to the chat, he'd gone and left- and I was then matched to someone else on this site we're not registered users- every day our names are different (the site chooses them for us), and I'm really worried that it was because of one careless mistake on my part that may have caused him to end it I don't know if he has, and probably will never know but I do worry about him- he was really desperate |

I feel like there should be a noticeboard where you can post "I'm worried about a suicidal guy from Indonesia" so that other people taking calls can pick up and explain to him what happened. Perhaps/ probably you are not encouraged to hold onto such stuff but in the old old days when I used crisis lines I would have been grateful that somebody knew about me and explained.
That's all you can do. Mistakes happen, and thank goodness you are not responsible for him living or dying. You are not a train driver making a mistake, just a person opening up on a crisis line and doing their best to be helpful. __________________ *"Fierce <-> Reality"* oh god I am struggling today, help me to remember how to stay connected and human! remember: the nut shell against human predators and my own fear! |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
