Update: CLOSED.

I’m shaking. Nagulat ako. I had no idea this would be the response I’d get. Thank you so much to everybody here. You don’t know how much this means to me ❤️ I’ll start replying now.

Original post:

I don’t have money so I can only offer P500 in exchange for 90 minutes of calls within the next 7 days.

Life has been extra hard lately, and I need to be able to call and talk to somebody and rant. Everybody in my life is busy and/or unreliable. 

I’m the one people always call when they feel bad. Pag ako na, wala na.

What I need you to do is listen to me and ideally just validate. Calm me down, empathize, ask questions, offer emotional support, show respect. I don’t need you to give me advice or tell me what to do, and I hope the calls won’t turn into being about you. You can of course talk about yourself, but I hope you’ll do it at an appropriate time and way that won’t just leave me feeling ignored or belittled especially when I’m vulnerable and seeking support.

Important notes:

1. I am likely depressed. No diagnostic tests yet, I don’t have money for that these days. Please expect talking to a probably depressed person.
2. I ask that you please keep everything you hear to yourself. I don’t have money to buy your silence. Please don’t DM if you don’t want to commit to confidentiality, kahit dahil man lang sa malasakit towards somebody who’s having a very hard time.
3. Please don’t DM if you can’t provide emotional support by helping me process, asking questions, validating my pain, etc. I’ll talk to a wall if I want to talk to a wall. I’m looking for somebody I can interact with. I’m hiring instead of just calling su*c*d* hotlines because of bad experiences where they barely said anything like they didn’t listen at all.
4. A little background: I’m in my 30s, family is burdensome instead of being a source of support, I’m currently dealing with betrayal trauma, and a huge chunk of my life revolves around an animal sanctuary that I run all by myself including all labor and funding. Which is why I don’t have money.

Again price: P500
