Is there an online suicide support hotline? I really don't want to talk on the phone but I feel like I need to talk to someone.

Don't really know what I was expecting but that chat didn't help. :sad: That's one reason I don't call because there's not much they can do to help.

Text START to 741-741

I use this often when I was at my worst. And I like that it's discreet . And no talking !! 😘💖.

I hope everything works out for you my dearest. 👍

Thanks but I don't want them having my phone number. Yes even though it is a cell phone they can still figure out where my billing address is & send the police to see if I live there. The last thing I need is to be hauled off to a State facility by cops.

I know a few people who use apps to text the number if that helps? It's the same as calling a hotline. 💖. It's also illegal to use any info without your consent.

Thanks but I've worked at a crisis hotline before & was told "If you think someone is an immediate threat to themselves or someone else try and figure out where they are & call 911." Yes they did have caller ID. They will deal with the legal side of it later down the road.

Maybe you need the help right now?! I'm worried for you. Also if you worked at a crisis line , I'm surprised they didn't have a list of other resources for online use? Interesting. I hope someone can give you what your looking for.

Maybe I do but I sure as hell can't get it where I live. That has been well proven.

Don't be. I'm not worth it. Plus worrying won't change a single thing.

They were real big on pushing "local" resources. The more you pushed per call the better. That's how they were able to keep their funding was based on the amount of resources recommended.
And thanks.
