Hey, thanks for taking the time to create this post❤️! If I could ask, how often do you talk to your friends?

But it feels like im just talking to myself most the time cause I’ll be waiting hours just for a couple responses cause they busy doin stuff

#

Sometimes people close to us are not there at the right time

#

Get annoying sometimes, it great that you are taking initiative ❤️

#

If you need anyone I'm here, but have you tried finding new friends to talk to or making a plan when you need to talk to someone?

I know you said that you wait a while to get support, so maybe a plan of action might help you if you need to talk to someone

idk i feel unstable when talking about my emotions and how i feel and i feel like it puts a burden on the people i talk to and i honestly dont know who to talk to if i tlak to my best friend who i havent talked for a while ima get a mouth full which is fair i kinda ghosted everyone after the overdose execpt the 2 people i talk to but i know they may understand how i feel but the trauma that i have with it i feel they dont understand how deep the attachement issues go so i really do feel i have no one

Ofc you don't have to say your location or go through with it, I'm just gonna recommend resources that you can use whenever you need to talk to someone

#

Like for example, I know peer support websites and sometimes there are hotlines which can offer kind of that listening ear

#

For example, if you live in the UK, there is the sanitarians which isn't a sucide hotline

#

But is more a general hotline and they are pretty good when it comes to getting someone to talk to

#

It really depends on the resource but like if it doesn't work or unsure if it is for your case, you can always explain and ask
