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!

Thanks so much for trying to look into it for me. I talked to someone and he was ok. Oddly enough I have males Ts, but I think I wanted to talk to a female...but I got a male. He was ok; I wish he would have said more, like ANYTHING. I think he was trying, but my scope of issues is really large and most likely hard to get a complete grasp of on a phone call...plus I was probably all over the place.
Thanks for the information.
