@River sorry i took a short while, i had to run and grab something before 12am (it was a donner kebab). I know what you mean. I was in the same position yesterday, and honestly, looking back, it hurts seeing it all laid out. I'm so sorry your going through this right now. I'm here if you want to talk about any of it. I'm here for you like you were for me friend.
Try and post it in two parts river, the first half first, and then the second half in the comments after. it might work.
@eylah i'm here to vent to if you want. We all love you here, and want to give you all the support in the world friend

i talked to childline a couple more times before deciding to call them because calling is way more efficient. they requested a welfare check on me but i doubt the police are gonna come because its been three hours since i ended the call with childline. the police havent showed up before when a welfare request was put because i texted shout once and told them that i had plans to end my life and they said that they were gonna call 101 and request a welfare check on me but the police never came. maybe they havent came both times because they think im ok. but clearly if i had intentions to harm myself or others surely they should come. anyways calling childline on the phone was better because we were able to cover more ground because sending a message each time on the 1-2-1 counsellor chats online usually takes a couple of minutes. @DonnerKebab
@toffuna101 i know what you mean. You can talk more in 5 minutes than you can type in an hour. Could i just check that you're alright and safe right now? And yeah, police are notoriously useless nowadays, they can take weeks or not even come at all. They don't know the severity of your situation or anything the police don't, just a request to check in on you with a welfare check which may be why they didn't show up.
@River did they actually manage to end things? Were emergency services not able to intervene in time? Sorry for asking. Is it possible they could still be saved?
@River and i understand never having expected it. The ones that tend to be the most depressed tend to be the ones which seem the most normal on the surface. I'm so so sorry for you to have experienced that and to hear them laugh while doing it must have been traumatic for you. I'm so so sorry. I just want to give you a hug right now, but you'll have to settle for a virtual one instead
