Bad day - suicide hotline?

I am having a terrible day today. Anxiety off the charts. Has anyone called a suicide hotline? Are they truly confidential? I can't live like this.

They are confidential. But if they feel as though you are a danger to yourself they will get authorities involved. And you will most likely be taken to the hospital for a psyc eval and then go from there. Possibly end up in an institution if they deem necessary. But if you'd like to talk you can always message me. I'm no stranger to suicidal thoughts and can probably empathize with you better that a call specialist.

Well, there's a lot of people here you can talk to. Everyone here's very supportive. We can't talk if you want. I'm not a specialist, but I can do my best to cheer you up.

Thank you. I am feeling better now but struggle from day to day. I get waves of anxiety that really take me down, esp in the mornings.

Yes I have. They're confidential to the service but I think they take notes if you let them.

Let them take the notes. No other organisation gets to see those notes, but it really blows having to repeat everything you told the first guy to the second guy. It drives you mental. If they have notes they can bring up your file and go from there.
