To scared to call suicide hotline?!


Question: To scared to call suicide hotline?
Hi. I've been thinking about suicide and thinking I may wanna do it. I'm really depressed and the world is bothering me all the time. I need help and I know I do. Some of my friends know and only 1 of them supports suicide hotline. Idk what to say to them when they picked up. I tried earlier and I chickened out once someone started talking to me. Plz help. What do I say to make myself less nervous and what do I say when they pick up. Thanx so much

Say exactly what you typed here. That's all you have to do. In fact, just read what you typed to them if that is easier.

Suicide hotline is completely anonymous and you dont even have to mention suicide just tell the person on the other side of the phone that you've been feeling depressed lately and you don't know what to do, the person will be very nice and you don't have to worry about anything because they're there to help.

George would miss you at birthday next monday if you weren't there. :(



Absolutely call its just another human being on the other end of a phone line talking to you about solutions to your problems they are trained to have more answers then the average person utilize the resource or talk to a local counselor or , hell if you want i will talk to you my sister hung herself a few years ago and what an awful mistake she made im sure she would wish to not have done it now if she only had the chance BUT SHE DONT my name is steve and you can call me at 609 707 2824 or email me at stazz91767@yahoo.com or stazz91767@ gmaill.com

Please call them if you are serious, or better still go and be around your family or friends. Get out of the situation you are currently in. Get some air, some day light. Go and see your doctor. Please don't think about suicide, think about if this question was from someone you really cared for, either now or in your past. Surely you wouldn't want them to end it and would advise them accordingly. Well you should think about how people who care for you feel. You need to go and see your doctor, or if you need more urgent advice, ring the on-call GP, or even ask to be put through to a nurse on your local hospital's psychiatric ward, for their advice. Just keep talking to people. GET HELP ASAP.........



The people at those hotlines are used to people not knowing what to say and feeling anxious. I mean, if you didn't have any problems, you would not be calling them, right? :) They are used to it. Also, lots of people feel guilty about suicidal feelings because everyone knows you're not "supposed to" feel this way. but the hotlines are there for you. To be honest, sometimes the people on the hotlines aren't that great... BUT if the first person isn't working out, just say thanks and call again and get someone else! They don't mind, they wouldn't be willing to do it if they weren't interested in helping you however they can. Also, they do have training on what to expect. So really, even though you have ever good reason to feel strange and uncomfortable about calling, DON'T WORRY, and certainly dont listen to that **** who said you're being melodramatic, what a troll!



I'm glad you are strong enough to make the initial effort to call. That is actually the toughest part. Try to remember that these emergency lines are staffed by trained people. They know how to help you. They know why you are calling - you just need to start the conversation by saying you need help. They will ask u questions, and all you need to do is answer truthfully.

You should also go see a psychiatrist or another mental health specialist. You don't need to suffer like this.

If you're nervous, don't say anything. Let them do the talking.
Just start off with, "I need help." Or something vague, and if they ask with what, or why, just let them know you don't know what to do with your life anymore.
But I can assure you suicide is not the way to go. You are another beautiful soul in this Earth who does not deserve to go what you are going through.



Oh my gosh! Dont kill yourself! Thats not the right way out. I think its good that you'r looking for help and I guess when they pick up, just tell them whatever's in your mind and in your heart. Just remember that everyone was made for a purpose. The bible says in jeremiah 29:11 that God said "For I know the plans I have your you..plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." so when times get really rough, just talk to your friends, family, or try calling the hotline and say whatever is on your mind. They wont judge you. And remember that God is always there for you to. Praying really helps me when times get rough. I hope everything gets better for you. I'll be praying for you : )



Just call them and talk. It will be fine. They will listen to you and will be able to help you.

Meanwhile, try to help yourself. Make sure you get enough sleep, eat regulary and right, exercise. Pray if you need to, cry if you have to. It's ok. I cry and it helps me. Read self-help books if you can find any. Read something positive on the web. I read givesmehope.com and sites they have on their page. Do something you love and enjoy. I play with pets for that. Talk to someone you trust. Don't keep it all in. Don't give up. This too shall pass.



You need to call a hotline NOW. The fact that you're asking for help -- from the world of the net -- tells me you don't want to go through with it, you want help NOT to go through. You call them and tell them you're afraid, you're depressed and you need help.

A person's life can totally change at any time ............. In 2006, I was living in Sierra Leon with my dad because he worked at an embassy over there, Sierra leon an extremely very very very very god damn poor, Depressing, hectic, Filthy, Torturing country that makes one hate being alive ........ Nothing to do but sit at home and watch TV ..... thats the only to do in life and more over, you can only do it when electricity is there which was hardly there at anytime ......... And ofcourse, the country is the poorest country in the world not even one place to go and ofcourse AIDS, Malaria etc are filling the country ...... My dad went there just for one year because they needed to fix stuff..... me and my dad were dying in that country and me I hated everything around me and I hated my life and i tried commiting suicide a few times ....... Whenever i tried to commit suicide, i always said to myself , Be patient and wait for god to help you .................. My dad's contract there was for only 1 year ....... we finished the year hoping to get a contract saying we'll be shifting to a place where you can live .................. My dad got posted to Austria, Vienna and we shifted there right away .......... We are now living there and we are living like how Angels live in Paradise .......Its Austria man.... You should never kill ur self cos ur life might totally change into a different life in a second ............



BISMILLAH - in the name of ALLAH(GOD)

do you know the one who commits suicide goes directly to hell, so don't even think of that road, can you sustain the pain of burning your finger for only one minute, think eternity?

Watch the following video, are the people in this video seem depressed or they seem grateful for what THE CREATOR has given them. Watch them and compare yourself to them.

But most importantly, see u loose interest in life or become depressed when there is no correct motivational factor for u, if there's one, you don't live a life of depression but are energetic and charged up to work for that goal. I would advise you following(if trying something unique and different is not odd for you):

Listen to this song, this takes u in a totally different dimension, but listen and watch both, and then think about what the purpose of our life should be and is yours on that course, once you have understood clearly (thru this song, the interviews, the movie and the stories below) what the purpose of life is then you will not feel depressed but motivated to do something for it.

Do you know about 'cat stevens' the famous singer of the 70s, now he is known as 'yusuf islam,' i would advise you watch his interview on youtube, he used to be on drugs and wasn't happy with his life even with ton of money, but now has transformed to a way of life which he is content with.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcgCdn8I8…

Also do you know about rapper loon, this guy was with p-diddy, i would advise you watch his interview on youtube as well.

When done, watch the following it is not based on fiction, but real events, this went on to change the course of the world that we live in today.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccP-malnf…

Also if you like reading stories, which are both real and educative, here try the following site. These people (even though some of them were very young) faced trials and persecution, but emerged as successful ones(praises to THE CREATOR ALONE for that), and made history, wrote new chapters in the books of ethics and morality, reached to the top, yet were very humble but strict, the rich and strong would be threatened by them but the weak and poor will feel secure.

trust me there is a solution for all of our problems ALHAMDULILLAH(praises to THE CREATOR only), but we need to knock the right door.



this is funny... you think you will be able to murder yourself but you can't talk on a phone? JUST PICK UP THE PHONE AND DIAL AND STOP BEING SO MELODRAMATIC.
