Thank you for your reply. There is only one crisis hotline where I am, and it is one for suicidal people but I believe I haven't reached that point yet and do not want to make lines busy when there are people struggling with very severe thoughts.
I can understand your reasoning believing you are not at the point. If I tell you that I met a man who works on a crisis line (in UK, 'The Samaritans') who told me that they are often contacted by people who feel like you do (that they are not at the worst point, that there is someone worse off who may need more) does that shed a different light on things? You are a thoughtful and considerate person, but you are the person they want to talk with - to head things off before they get worse. They are there for you, please do not struggle alone.

Thanks for this!
