Being a person who is on that side... my guess is they don't talk...
I tried but it was hard to get anyone to really listen. Don't get me wrong... they would listen to me talk...but they really weren't listening--not really hearing what I was saying. Often times it felt like I was screaming so loud that no one could hear me.
After a while... I just gave up talking.
I'm sure this is the way it may be with others...
If someone tells you they need to talk.. please don't turn them away. If you aren't sure how you can help them... do what my friends did for me.. call someone who can... set up an appointment for the person... go with them. If you are not sure if your friend has health insurance... call around... there are places that that will see the person needing help on a sliding fee scale. The local crisis intervention number or 1-800-SUICIDE can and will guide you to these places.
