Write a sad story in 6 words...

My sweatheart is sick in hospital.

They were 12, they didn't know...

Even after he smoked nothing changed

@peacefulHug92

And then...everything ceased to live

I fell to my knees sobbing..

I cannot say it in only 6 words. So, this is what I have on my mind:.

I am in a conversation with another listener and she takes ages to reply to my messages. What makes it worse, is that I have been waiting a day for her to come online and now the time I have available to talk, is running out quickly. It has been nearly 20 minutes, since she last responded and now it looks like she gas gon off line.

@limeCity1300 It's really hard when that happens. I gave up on listeners ages ago. I found it's sometimes easier to write on a forum rather then privately - of course I understand that it can be hard to talk about somethings more publically though. Have you thought of maybe finding a back up listener?

@mytwistedsoul

The quality of listeners were good years ago but now too many found this site and lots of people think they are capable when they are not

@SweetPearCrumble You're absolutely right. Many of them seem to have the roles reversed and seem to think that the members should listen to them. Or they ask the most inappropriate questions. Or they ghost you. Or invalidate you.

It's a shame really, because it's my understanding that this place was built around their voluntary listeners.

@mytwistedsoul

Thanks for your comment.

At the moment I am talking to 2 listeners. I send both of them messages every morning, hoping that at least 1 of them, will be able to talk to me. 1 of them is sick and that makes it difficult for her to talk to me. The other 1 would talk to me for a little while and then just disappear. Before she came on line today, I had a talk with another listener, but couldn't connect with her. So I ended the conversation. Now I am waiting for one of them, to get back to me again.

What makes it difficult is the fact that I couldn't find a listener in my own country yet. So, there is always a difference in the time zones. Eg. talking to a listener from the USA, is very difficult, because there is at least a 7 hour time difference between me and a listener from there. It is so frustrating!!!

@limeCity1300 The time difference does add to the problems doesn't it? Hopefully the listener who is sick get better soon and will be available to you. I'm sorry you're having so many problems finding someone to connect with. It is extremely frustrating when you need someone to talk to and there's noone around. I wish you the best of luck!

@limeCity1300

Kindkangaroooo is a great listener that is responsive

Met woman with five minutes' memory

@Zak3

You met a unicorn. Women remember everything, always!

@SweetPearCrumble

Haha, that's funny!

The woman in question could only use about 3 to 5 minutes of short term memory. As for her long term memory, she remembered everything until a specific point in time. Sadly, that moment was when she was waiting for her daugther.

So I would have a conversation with her to reorient her (e.g. where she was, what was going on, when should come expect her daugther to come by), and telling her she was in a safe place. By the time this was done, she'd look at me and asked me what was going on, asking when her daugther would come by.. She already had forgotten everything we just spoke about. She had to be kept under constant surveillance. I guess we are our memories.

@Zak3

Ohh no :( sounds like dementia or side effects of ECT. This may be a unique case.

@SweetPearCrumble

Really sorry to hear about that. I hope things improve for her.

He truly loves two other people.

There's white strands on her hair

His face bloodied, the nose battered

I thought I could trust you

I LOVED her. She BROKE me.

Smallest coffins are the heaviest ones

Things worse than death remain here.

@TheDreamer17 that's good

@JanelleINFP Thanks!

Suddenly, he had nothing to loose.

@PositiveSunflowerAlex

That is a devestating story :( very veryvery sad 😭

His everything didn’t get him her :((

Without him, she’s a living corpse

@lovesickgirl

It is rare but there are some men that take a while to get over. Hang in there! Each day that passes, you are futher away from that time, even if it is the size of a small grain. This shall pass. :) Hugs.

My car crashed my toy car .

Still indebted for having an education.

We hide in the dark alone

Battle was over, but scars remain...

Without our hearts, only darkness remains

Breathing just to pass the time

I'm right here! Please don't go!

I need a reason to exist.

You were created for a purpose and that is where the comfort comes from
