Hey @Sunnyside226 ,
I hope you don't mind me making this thread for you.
I just wanted you to know that the whole forums community is here to support you through this challenging time.
Please look after yourself. I recognise it's hard to look after three small children on your own.

Hey lovely @Ru-bee
My question is when someone calls the sane line.
1, can we talk about suicidal thoughts
2, will sane call the police or ambulance?
3, how long is the call?
Does sane talk about anything?
I'm sorry for my silly questions and I'm sorry for saying it here, @Ru-bee

That's a good question @Sunnyside226
1.The SANE helpline is very similar to us here on the forums, where it's okay to talk about thoughts suicide and self-harm, but if you are not currently safe and have any plans to act on those thoughts then Lifeline and Suicide Callback service are the places to call.
2. Just like us, they have a duty of care, so if you tell them that you are in danger then they might need to call emergency services. As long as you let them know that you're safe and you're not wanting to act on any thoughts of suicide there will be no need for them to call the police or ambulance.
3. The times of the calls can vary, but they're usually around 20-40 minutes
They're there to talk about lots of different mental health stuff, they give support and information and resources.

Hmm I'm not sure whether you can ask for a male or female @Sunnyside226
If you've been thinking about calling maybe you should give it a go. All of the counsellors on there are lovely.
It's actually really sunny where I am, but I don't mind the rain 😊 Do you like the rain?

Ok
@Ru-bee I was thinking about calling but not now.
I don't mind rain but I hate it because it makes everything soooo hot it's been raining for 2 weeks now
The one person just pushed me over my edge I'm never never calling anyone about my suicidal p I'm angry it's not fair maybe I'm just not worth listening to. Bro I'm done with telling people
Just delete this post whatever I don't care

I can hear that this was really upsetting @Sunnyside226
What would be helpful at the moment? Do you want to chat about how you're feeling, or we could think about some nice things you could do to give yourself a bit of a pick-me-up, or we could just chat about distracting things - I watched a movie recently and wanted to ask if you've seen it.
Whatever would be most helpful

Nothing matters right now I feel hopeless. There's no self care that will help people say they want to listen but I was honest about my suicidal p
Of course it was oh well. ( I'm not going to say more )
What movie have you watched ? Is it scary jump out of your skin or just like a loo loo wow movie? @Ru-bee
How's the cats?
