just for anyone wondering

i called a couple of crisis help lines and they were totally unhelpful. telling me to go read a book when i said i was homicidal. and stuff like that. telling me they couldnt help me and different things.

but i found one place that kinda helped ENOUGH.
but it is a texting line. you text them for help.

Get Help Now | Crisis Text Line

text "LISTEN" to 741-741 and they talk to you 24/7 about everything. and they said theyd talk to me however long i wanted to.

I've done it before. It takes a bit of getting use to but it is nice.

Are they willing to talk to children? I'm thinking about programming it into my son's phone. He's 11.

I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience I don't think texting would help me in a time of crisis.

To the questions above: yes and yes. Like I said, it takes some getting use to, but it is so much better then being alone.
