I know I used to think the same thing too.
A lot of people are afrade to call these hot lines because they are worried that the police will come and take them away to the funny farm.
It's really not like that at all. These hot lines are a great way for people with limited resources to find help and get treatment. These people will find you help one way or another.
You don't have to be ready to kill yourself just to call.
Hey Hensley,
Wow I must say, even though suicide lines are obvious, I've never actually thought of trying one.
Everytime someone said the word "suicide line" or anything ending with "line" I'd instantly think of it as some kind of scam.
So I guess I should apologise and move my prejudice a side by thanking these people.
Thanks
