The first time I phoned them they werent very comfortable talking about trans issues or the problems with my family and the second time the lady was rude and told me to go to bed. I haven't had very good experiences with them and I dont want to phone them and feel worse

Here is a whole bunch of links.  Is there anything in particular you are looking for?  I could do a more narrow and specific search if you want.  Please stay strong Joey.  Remember all the conversations that you have had here.

In the hotline post in this section there are replies with other UK resources. For some reason the phone won't paste the link for me. Hugs, Devlyn

The main thing is depression and suicide, so those are great thank you.

no worries iv really been struggling alot lately , its hard its so hard , and it feels like no one understands and your alone and even when people are telling you your not alone , you feel more alone because there so far away , its a hard circle , hopefully you can move forward and break the cycle as i hope to do , but , i get it how you feel now , but theres some great members on this site ,

ill mail you my number then you can ring me day or night - i mean it , need someone , pick up the phone , or write me a message and ill get back to you as soon as i can ,
i feel like its harder in the uk because theres less awareness etc.
