IAmA suicide helpline operator. AMA by mcb1in IAmA

[–]Noddegamra2012 1 point2 points ago

I called the national suicide hotline (I wont bore you with the details) about a year ago and was placed on hold for about 45 minutes. Called back a week later, got a totally different person, and was put on hold for a half hour. I finally came to the conclusion that it was pointless to even call. I'm not sure the protocol on that kind of a situation, but is that a common thing to do?

Is it true that Americans get a measly 2 weeks annual leave? If true, how does this affect the nation? by AnInchOfCredibilityin AskReddit

[–]Noddegamra2012 0 points1 point ago

I've wanted to leave America for a while now but I'm told that it's becoming increasingly more difficult to get citizenship in the U.K. Does anyone know any information on becoming a citizen?

How many redditors out there don't smoke or do drugs, but support the legalization movement? by CelebrantJokerin AskReddit

[–]Noddegamra2012 0 points1 point ago

Personally, I think people have the right to do whatever they want. It's on that merit alone that I believe marijuana should be legalized.

Do you have any "Well, that shut him up" stories from working in customer service? by DesCo83in AskReddit

I work for a paint store and had a customer that owned a local strip joint return some paint. He was being belligerent and telling me how he was going to call corporate and "Have my job" because our paint didn't adhere to the poles the way he thought it should. I let him finish his spiel about how the paint was coming off and with as straight a face as I could muster said, "Well what do you think happens when you put stripper on paint."

He actually laughed pretty hard and apologized.

Why do women wear black tights as pants? by Jabronix_5in AskReddit

The better question is, Why do morbidly obese women wear them?

Found out that the 9yo I've been raising is not my son... by hesnotmysonin AskReddit

You may not be his father, but you are most certainly his dad. Please don't ever forget that. Be there for him like you always have been so that if and when he finds out, he'll see that you were man enough to be in his life.

Just found out Mom's got 2 months to live. I don't know what to think, feel, say or do. Does anybody have advice for me? by ploncein AskReddit

I lost my mom in 2007 to squamous cell carcinoma that spread to her lymph nodes. I agree with what everyone has been saying already. Spend time with her. I'm sure she already knows, but reiterate as much as possible that you love her and that she is the best mom anyone could ask for.

Hug her for no reason. Trust me, you'll miss them more than you know. My mom was in a coma at the end and my brothers and I begged hospice to lay off the morphine a little just so she was conscious enough to hug us, even if it was for the last time. Let her know how important she is and always will be in your life.

The most important thing to remember is that everyone deals with death in their own way, so no advice is going to fit your situation perfectly.

You only get one mom. Keep her comfortable and cry with her if you have to. You're going to cry, you're going to scream....don't hold it in. As cliche as it sounds, the hurt doesn't ever go away, but it does get a little easier. Eventually you'll laugh again. You'll find a reason to smile. Just do what you think she would have wanted you to do.

Find a grief counselor. That's the one thing I wish I had done. Even if you don't think you need one. Trust me, you do. 6 months down the road you have no idea how you're going to feel. Keep in mind you're not the only one to have gone through this, so find people to talk to that have had similar experiences. I'm sorry for your loss and I wish your family the best.
