darkness

----------------------- You have entered the chatroom ----------------------- ----------------- There is currently no one in the chatroom ----------------- ''You'': hello...? ''You'': is anyone there? ''You'': i need someone to talk to. i feel lonely. i feel empty, like a hollow mass. ''You'': its really dark and cold. ''You'': my hands are shaking. ''You'': someone please save me ------------------------ I have entered the chatroom ------------------------ ''I'': Hey. Sounds like your day hasn't been the best. ''You'': yeah... care to hear my story? [[Offer to give a listening ear]]

''I'': Sure. Go ahead and tell me all about it. I'll see if I can help you. ''You'': ... lately there's been a lot on my plate. my parents recently divorced, and im having a lot of difficulty coping with it. school's not going any better too. it probably sounds like a really stupid thing to be sad about, huh? [[Mock her sadness]] [[Comfort]]

''I'': Wow, that //is// a really stupid thing to get sad over! I can't believe you're so weak as to crumble when you meet a minor problem in your life. I bet you don't even have any friends just because you're mentally weak. ''You'': yeah. i know it's a really minor thing to get sad about, and other people out there have more things to worry about. i don't have any right to be sad. ''I'': Other people out there are actually sleeping on the streets and starving to death as we talk right now. ''You'': i should really stop being so selfish and think about others first. afterall, mum said that you should always put others before yourself, and you'll be rewarded, right...? ''I'': That's the spirit! I'm glad you got yourself together again. You: thanks for the advice. i'll be take your words to heart. [[Let her crumble and fall apart]]

DEAD END

''I'': Of course not! It's completely normal to go through a period like that in your life. In fact, if you have never encountered these kind of problems in your life at all, I'd be worried! ''You'': it doesn't feel like it's ever going to end. i feel really alone. i'd go to a therapist if i could, but that requires a parent's care, so i don't think i'm going to get that any time soon. plus, it's expensive. ''I'': Well, I can promise you that it'll get better as time goes by! Just try your best to tough it out. I'm sure someone out there cares. I'll be here to talk to you if you ever need help. Sadly, I have never experienced it before, so I can't help you out much. ''You'': that's fine. no one can help me out anyway. this is my problem, so i have to solve it myself. at least now i know someone is there to hear me out, and is actually concerned about me. this really brightened my day. thank you for talking to me! -------------------------- You have left the chatroom ------------------------
