I called this depression crisis line that is ran by a college and I don't know how to feel about it. Should I even get help at this point ?

Did you say something to the person on the other end that warranted being banned? Please tell us how the whole conversation went, if you don't mind sharing. It will help us determine what's going on here.

Where do I start ? I remember calling the first time and just talking to this girl. I told her I was depressed and suicidal and that I was comfortable with the idea of ending my life but that I didn't want to upset my family. Keep in mind that I'm not debbie downer and that I can be very very happy so I'm nothing like most people who are depressed. I think I called a second time like about a week after that and that convo went ok but it kind of bummed me out because they didn't really help me. The third time I called is when I found out I was banned.

That makes no sense.

And, yes, you should defnitely get help but not from some phone line (even a better one than the one you called). Start with your doctor and go from there.

That's kind of my dilemma. I don't feel comfortable talking about my feelings in person with someone else. I'm still looking for a psychologist that I can talk to over the phone but it's not easy.

A good therapist will be able to get you to talk about your feelings (in person). Is trust the issue? What sort of person have you trusted in the past - man, woman, old, young?

I've never been the type of person that talks about my feelings to someone else nor will I ever do it in person but I would be okay doing it over the phone where I can remain anonymous.

It's just something that I am not comfortable doing ? not sure how else to put it. I'm not about to share my feelings with someone and pretty much tell her or him how I feel about myself.

Then ... you will stay the way you are ... or get worse.



You can't grow by being that way, and you certainly can't form intimate relationships with anyone if you refuse to share in person.
