I have once!. I couldn't take the suffering any longer and needed to talk to someone so i called them!. It was about 4 years ago!. They where help but i felt so pathetic at the time!.
If you need to talk to someone the samaritons is a good start for you!. It will take you on to other things!. You have realised you have problems now you need help to identify them!.
You have taken the first and most important step by acknowledging this!. So do call them and maybe arrange to see a coucellor too!. Good Luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have used the Samaritans before and they are really good!. Everything that you talk about with them is confidential!. You can email them, txt or call them!. Your call will be answered and you will be able to talk to someone straight away if you email or txt them then it can take them up to 24 hours to reply!. The best way is to call them!.
If you need any advice or just want someone to listen then you can mail me!.

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes they're always there to talk , I called them many years ago when I thought I was going to be homeless!.they're really helpful!. at the time they told me not to worry about calling they said some people just call because they're lonely so don't be embarrassed they can't see you and you can put the phone down at any time!. give it a try !.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the woman i got was rude and dismissive; she obviously didn't understand my problems and completely belittled my problems!.

they are good for some people though, so give it a go!.

i personally will never ring them again though, it didn't make me feel any better when i really needed support at a suicidal moment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have not called them but have e-mailed them, and they were extremely helpful!.

They were not judgemental and helped me work round my problem without making me feel embarrassed!.

If you feel like you have no one to talk to, they're always there, and they reply pretty darn fast too if you e-mail!. :)

I have and i personally didn't like it!. I can't explain why but they do help a lot of people and i think they are a good organisation but they didn't work for me!. I was in a very bad state at the time and in the end i was nearly put in hospital so maybe that is why, i needed professional help!. If you want to chat i am more than happy to listen! xWww@Answer-Health@Com

Depends who you get, i presume most of them are quite good as i hear good things but were completly ignorant when i phoned about my problems and i also heard laughing in the background and the phone went straight down, so im not sure how confidential they are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have - when I was at a really low point - and they were really understanding!.

If you need to talk to someone - call them - they won't judge you whatever your reason for calling - and it helps to have an independent person to talk to !

Best of luck !Www@Answer-Health@Com
