But, back to the eHelp system.
It's not quick enough.
What if I had taken a bottle of pills?
What if my boyfriend hadn't have called me?
I had no one to help me.

I'm having really bad problems right now, and I need to let it all out. I tried, I really tried.
But no one else did.

---

Last night, I was on the edge of taking a whole bottle of pills and ending it all.
The only reason I didn't was because my boyfriend called me, and we didn't even talk about what we needed to.
He has never called me before, we talked for about an hour about nothing, really.

This is a support forum consisted of teenagers. You can't expect an immediate response, though you needed help. It's flawed, yes, but you can't rely on it for immediate response like that. We all have lives too.

It was an emergency for a reason.

Other than the eHelp system, a lot of members on here are willing to help you and talk to you about what is wrong, including me.

by default we're told length and depth is better with ehelp replies because the issues with which we're dealing are complex. this when combined with the fact that we don't read and devote time to every single ehelp as soon as it comes in leaves you with the gap you see now.

your ehelp request looks like a normal relationship ehelp; i could start answering it right now, but if i had not read this topic, i would've taken my time.

Understandable, but next time, call 911 or something. The fact that you posted asking for help on a forum is pretty sad, and just makes it seem like a plight for attention, really. I'm not saying things aren't hard, but, suicide is hardly ever the answer, just an easy way out.

next time make it sound more urgent and see if you get any faster answers.

was the fact that i was on the verge of suicide because i have nothing to live for not urgent?

it isn't a 'normal teenage relationship'.
far fucking from it.

Are you literate? He clearly stated that your eHelp looked like a normal relationship problem, as in NOT URGENT. Had you written it with you know, URGENCY, the support leaders would've known a little more of your problem. Stop being so damn stand offish.

---

also, if you're in a relationship that puts you on the 'brink' of suicide, then why the fuck are you even in it? honestly people.
