possible attraction to my adult friend?

Hi lostbunny,

you are not wasting our time, a lot of us are volunteers and all of us are here because we enjoy and find meaningful talking with young people. And we also understand that not all issues have an easy quick solution. So really, you don’t have to worry, we are glad we can be here for you.

With that, you seemed to be interested in our chat service, it is still open in the same hours as Latha shared a couple posts ago. Or we can try find time for you some other time if you want?

Or would you like to talk more about how are you doing today?

Hi LostBunny,
I think that I can speak for all of us when I say we're saddened and worried by your last reply. I'm sorry you're feeling so hopeless. You haven't wasted our time, and we will continue to be here for you. If do decide you'd like to talk through things via chat, our times are still Mondays at 8 PM - 10 PM CST, and Sundays at 12 PM - 3 PM CST. I see Latha mentioned that the Sunday times might work for you in Denmark if we're right about them being 19:00-22:00 your time? (I hope I got the 24-hour clock right!) If not, the offer to find a time for one of us to chat with you still stands.

Thank you guys, but it’s okay. It means a lot that you’ve all listened anyway.

[Latha]

Hi lostbunny,

It is sweet of you to thank us for listening.

Straif did indeed speak for all of us--I am worried about what is happening with you, since you've sounded more than a little demoralized recently.

You don't need to answer to us, or manage your feelings on our schedule. We're just here to listen to you and support you--we know these things take time and are not easy, as Andy has said. Speaking to us doesn't waste our time.

It is okay to struggle and to be tired. But I hope you know that you are always deserving of support and someone who listens.

I want to share some warmlines in Denmark that you could call/text to speak to someone immediately, or soon: (Hopefully I've gotten this right since I was using a translator)

Our live chat is also available to you: we can talk about your relationships and how things are going at home. Would you feel up to coming to our sessions on Sunday or Monday? If I've gotten the times right with the daylight savings change here, for you they should be:

• Tuesday: 3-5AM CET

• Sunday: 7-10 PM CET

Or perhaps you could tell us what times would work for you, and we could let you know if we can open chat then. Don't hesitate--we won't be going out of our way and we will tell you if we can't make it.
