Suicide Hotline?

[broken_butterfly]

I was thinking of calling a suicide hotline to maybe get some sort of help. I'm just too scared to. What if it's awkard? What if I forget what to say? What if i'm to shy? How do I start off the conversation? I know I want to because I want help. But i've just been hesitiateing because of the fear I have of how weird it might be. What's it like? What kind of things do you talk about? Is it safe to trust? Does it really help at all? Is it toll free? Is it just between me and the person on the other line? I seem to have alot of questions about it and that's why i'm to afraid to call. Can you help? Can you anser any of my questions?

Hi there.

Calling a suicide hotline can really help and I hope that you manage to do so. I can relate to how scary it is to ring them but they are not going to push you in to saying anything that you don't want to say. They will let you take your time and you can go steady and talk to them when you feel ready to do so. What you talk to them about is completely up to you. You don't have to talk about anything if you don't want too. Don't worry about being shy, remember they are used to talk to shy people and people who are worried about talking and they can deal with that. They will encourage you to talk and try and help you along. Just start by saying you're feeling low and needed help and let the conversation go from there. I mean, some might contact someone else if they feel you're in serious danger yo yourself, but a lot don't, so perhaps you could ask about their policy before you talk. That's up to you. Just remember that these people do this to help you. They want to help you and support you through this so don't be afraid to talk to them. You deserve the help.

Look after yourself.

Hello Lillian,

I've called a Suicide hotline before, I called during the day and the lady I talked to was incredible kind and helpful. It was somewhat awkward right when she picked up the phone and said hello because I was scared and didn't know what to say. But trust me, you will not regret it! We talked about the things I was dealing with, my life, my family and various other things. It helped me get my mind off of what I was feeling. Which was really good.

When your on the phone with the person only they can hear what your saying. And Like Jessie said, you could ask for their policy if that makes you feel more comfortable.

PM me if you need to talk! good luck
