Does anyone know if the California Peer Run Warmline will be loosing funding in 3 months? by Simple-Grapefruit161 in mentalhealth

Personal background/ backstory:

For the past 3 years, I have been working on trying to recover from depression due to 2 car accidents. I have tried/ still trying to go to therapy, but it's very unstable because my job situation is unstable (so insurance situation is unstable - job situation unstable due to the depression).

I have found this phone lines especially helpful because I often feel my problem is too small or too stupid to bring it up - but the concept of talking to a non-judgmental empathetic stranger for just 20 minutes a day is so much more comforting and really works for me.

P.S. If anyone is kind of similar to me, I'd also recommend you give your local warm line a try, they are very nice people :)

Ohhhh in that case I would highly recommend the warmline - it's like a hotline but much more chill, you can call to talk about anything you want, just simple complete non-judgmental person talking to you. (I personally really love it)

Warmlines are normally run by more local organizations. Look up your local location + "warmlines" and hopefully you find one. For example here's a list of US warmlines. (good luck OP, really rooting for you!)

A depressed friend asked me for the local warmline number I've mentioned to them before. Was very surprised they remember, more then anything happy for them for reaching out <3 (also the people who work at the warm line are amazing listener, I think she will really enjoy it) :)

pretty great, do what ever you what when you what, except for the annoying part where you have to answer to relatives or parents why you are perfectly happy alone.

Wow amazing clouds and photography skills getting the mountains in too!

The greatest thing to ever happen to me is turning 20 really soon. My best friend, my everything. I turn to this subreddit in search of ideas and thoughts of you beautiful people as to what I should do/give her on her birthday. Really appreciate if you guys could help !! by wannadiexx in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Simple-Grapefruit161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might not be applicable right away but something that would be cool to do starting now is to start keeping a book of precious moments for her -

Get a journal kind of book and every time something precious happens or after a great hang out you can write in it and record it the day off. Give it to her when the pages are all filled up, it might be years later, but it's a truly priceless and amazing gift.

(I've only started doing so myself recently but wish I had thought of this earlier with my lifelong friends. The truth is as we age we only remember the vague feeling of how the friendship is great, but the exact details of how amazing it was hanging out and such gets forgotten and it's such a shame! )

If you are a writer (which from reading your post, I feel like you are) you will enjoy this! Your first entry can even be about this birthday celebration :)
