idk if this is a troll comment or genuine most are apparently free of charge but long distance rates apply if its genuine and you'd rather not risk additional charges to your phone bill, invest in an app that lets you make free calls daily good luck
The UK one specifically, I wasn't sure if it was free. I posted free alternatives, first post second page. Although I feel like if your mental state gets to the point you find it necessary to call one of these helplines, the cost of the call is the least of your worries
You all are. Even if it was a $500 dollar phone call. It would be worth every penny if it kept you going another day.
Thanks for this thread. A lot of people struggle and it's made worse by people who trivialize their problems. Depression is no joke and suicidal thoughts have to be taken seriously. On that note, if you see anyone posting suicidal stuff, let ATA or the mods know.
I remember the time when i reached out for help. My fam/ friends/relatives told me that it was all just in my head. This what's sad about depression, u ask and they never see it seriously. They only took the matter seriously when i snapped out and used a butcher's knife and cut myself in front of them I dared asking the campus about this before because i was really desperate to talk to someone, instead they all just laugh and made fun of me. Still, thank you for sharing this
I’m sorry you experienced this. Unfortunately being online there are going to be a lot of troll comments when it comes to this kind of issue. But there are people who really care. I’m just sorry you weren’t supported in your time of crisis. I hope you are receiving appropriate help now and your family, friends etc have received education on the seriousness of mental health issues. Because feeling invalidated by those around you who are supposed to care, can hurt more than anyone could imagine. I hope life is a bit brighter, and I’m so happy you’re still here with us and posting. Because you matter. Everything about you matters and you will always be important to someone.
Trolls, trolls everywhere. But onna real note, most dont thing youre serious. If they did most wouldnt troll.
Support. Seeing this post reminded me of who I was 2 years ago. I was alone, I have no one to talk to and my mind was just full of dark thoughts. I should have known this before. Anyways, if you know anyone who is going through something, please just be there for them. That would be a great help.
0477131114 is the Suicide Crisis Text Line in Australia. So many people are too anxious to call or simply don't like talking on the phone. This service is an amazing alternative for those people. If you text during evening hours, when suicidal thoughts often amplify, there will be a crisis worker on the other end to chat to. Thought it might be useful info to add. ??
