I've thought about doing this for some time now, but it was always never a good time to call since my dad works from home sometimes and he also comes home from work at different times. When I do finally get the chance to be alone in the house I will call. I've never called them before so I don't know what to expect. Can anyone share any experiences? Did you feel better after you called them? And also I'm just looking for someone to talk to since I spend a lot of time alone and I'm from a judgemental family and that takes a toll on me sometimes. I'm not to the point where I want to seriously kill myself. I just have suicidal thoughts sometimes when I'm depressed and dysphoric. I think it may be best for me to talk to someone and it might help me out in the long run.

I am sorry to hear you are suffering.

I called a hotline once and it was very helpful. The man who answered was kind and listened to what I needed to say. My girlfriend told me she was thinking about suicide a lot. Anyway he was knowledgeable and told me some things to help her and made me feel a lot better. I will call again if I ever need to.

They are there to listen to you, so I say take advantage of that.

Also, if you are really afraid that you will hurt yourself you can also go to the emergency room. It is stressful to go that route, but you gotta take care of yourself.

I would make the call asap or get yourself to the local hospital for some help.

Today is not as it was 20 years ago and help is there.

I was there on the door step to hell. It is not the answer. You can get past all of this and be happy. Seems hard but trust me there is a life after the darkeness.

Hugs and please do not think its the answer.
