USA NATIONAL Suicide & Crisis Hotlines - When You Feel You Can't Go On... Call a Suicide Hotline. / SuicideHotlines.com - Direction for immediate crisis intervention for the gravely suicidal & treatment for major clinical suicidal depression.

I just tried to get into the site above's chat room, to ask if the hotline were an option to not only those who are idealizing suicide but also to those who are really struggling. Unfortunately, their web chat is open 2 p.m. - 2 a.m. EST. I was too late. However, I was encouraged to call the hotline to talk with volunteers waiting.

I have called this hotline before myself. The person that I spoke with was very kind ~ they listened to my gripes & worries. They did recommend that I call my T the next day for an appointment ASAP, and asked if they could call me back the next day (to see how I was feeling). I didn't mind them calling to check on me...that was a comfort to me at that time. I would say that my experience with them was very positive. I hope that you call if you're really feeling stuck. It really is a terrific resource!
