Hi. Good afternoon to everyone. I was wondering does anyone know a free phone number for dealing with suppression? Or a website that has helped them in the past?

Hi, here are 3 Phone Help lines that I can give you. When you call in they can probably recomend a text line if that works better for you.

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255
Samaritans: 1-877-870-4673
National Hopeline Network: 1-800-442-4673

Take care and hope you find the help you need.

I have heard that you don't have to be considering suicide to call their hot line. It says anyone in crisis can call. FWIW

You absolutely do not have to be Suicidal to call a helpline. Anyone can call anytime they feel the need.

Take care.
