guessing with the mention of 988 that you're in the US? so there's not a ton of americans on this site, so most of the UK folks are likely to be heading to bed so responses are going to be slow. responses on ryl these days are slow in general.
we are all just individuals who also struggle. we aren't trained professionals, and we really aren't a good option if you need in the moment, quick, crisis support. not trying to discourage you from posting, just to say that your expectations might not match up with how RYL works.
there is a sister site linked somewhere, TGL, that I believe might still have a chat option but it's going to be similar in that still just individuals who are also struggling and not trained professionals or able to necessarily offer crisis support.
it sounds like you care very much if you're trying that hard to reach out and get support. what type of irl support do you have? do you have access to a therapist or psychiatrist, or even a medical human you can go to who can support you with some of this stuff?
