What to expect when you call a helpline c:
Knowing what to expect during a helpline call may help you feel a little more at ease. Your call experience will vary based on which line you call, why you're calling, and the severity of the situation. But in general, here's what to expect...
The waiting period:
In many cases, the first voice you will hear on the helpline may be an automated one. If the service is busy, the automated message will tell you to stay on the line until a worker is available. In other cases, the message may offer you additional options, such as the option to switch languages.
The call introduction:
When you are connected to a helpline worker they will probably let you know their name and they may ask a few questions to gain a greater understanding of your current situation. If you feel comfortable, you can let them your name, pronouns and age so they can offer a more personalised and friendly call tailored around you.
Assessing your safety:
If you're vulnerable, helplines have a duty of care to keep you safe and so they will want assess your current safety. If they believe you are in immediate danger they will first try to calm you down and work with you to come up with a plan. However, when this isn't possible the helpline may call or pass on your details to emergency service - this will always be used as a last resort though.
The main chat:
If you are not in immediate danger, you'll be able to chat to the worker about anything you want. They will help you talk through your feelings and experiences anonymously without judging you or telling you what to do. Many mental health helplines are open 24/7 or don't have a call time limit, so you can talk for as long as you need.
Finishing the call:
Once you've talked about everything you want to and have received the advice you need, the helpline worker will most likely recap on what you've talked about and help you come up with a plan forwards. Helplines are not therapy services, but, they will help guide you in the sign post you in the right direction for more regular support.
Will my call be confidential?
The simple answer is yes, unless you're in immediate danger and you're unable to come up with a safety plan. They will always try to calm you down first before they deciding a cause of action. Each helpline has a slightly different policy, but, they will all only ever break confidentiality as the very last resort.
Visit findahelpline.com to find a relevant helpline in your area. I promise you deserve support <;33

Quebec's LGBTQ community rallied behind Interligne, a specialized 24/7 helpline, to help save it's nighttime services.  After decades of operation, the night line was meant to shut down March 31 due to a lack of funding. But a major fundraising effort allowed Interligne to secure $98,000 — enough to keep the services going for another six months.  "It's encouraging and great and gives us some runway time as we continue to push for that recurring funding," said Interligne board member Brock Hazen.

The Trevor Project.
https://www.thetrevorproject.org/get-help/
A Suicide Helpline for queer youth. They have calling, texting, and messaging, and you can easily close the page without leaving a trace.
They have saved me a few times. They're already pretty well known, but it's good to remind people. You aren't alone, and people care about you.
One topic at a time has helped raise over $100,000 to support this project. You can donate through his YouTube, and other places as well. I believe that Hot Topic (yes, the store) donates there as well, specifically with their partnership pride merch.
You guys are all my family, my community. Keep living on.

QUICK TIPS FOR AVOIDING SH & OTHER IMPULSES
It can be easy to end up feeling overwhelmed by negative emotions/thoughts. So here are some tips & resources to help you deal with these cravings.
1. Talk with someone reliable. Just getting these thoughts out in the form of words can help you process your emotions better. Trying to define what the problem is helps us mantain a sense of control and understanding of out feelings. You can talk to us, a close friend, or a professional (recommended if the thoughts are recurrent).
2. Do something you love. Remembering yourself the good things in life that you enjoy gives you a weight to dissuade you from the negative thoughts, and helps distract yourself for a short while. Sometimes, that can be enough to make it easier. Art is a really good way to express & relieve yourself from these thoughts.
3. Find coping mechanisms. Exercise (taking a walk or more), visual tricks for your brain (e.g. drawing with a red sharpie in your skin) and making art or learning a new skill are healthy and positive ways to feel better as a person overall.
4. Take good care of your health. If you are depressed, eat. If you are feeling bad, go outside. Drink water. Move around. Mental & physical health are connected, so be sure to take care of one to see improvement on the other.
5. Contact a professional. If these thoughts do not go away, please, talk with a professional. We are here to provide help to the best of our ability, but our reach only goes so far. Don't be afraid of asking for mental health resources of any kind, and we'll be sure to help you find them. Our biggest objective is to make you feel better, so don't be shy to try these out if you need them.
TLDR: List of advice for people struggling. List of mental help hotlines here.
Please add more helplines if you know!

Aokigahara Forest, Japan. Aokigahara is forest located in Yamanashi Prefecture on the island of Honshu, Japan. It is on the Northwestern flank of Mount Fuji. It’s also known as the “Sea of Trees”. Although it’s a popular destination for tourists, the forest is historically associated as a popular destination for suicides, earning it the nickname “Suicide Forest”. Every year, dozens of people venture into the forest with the intention of taking their own lives. Some claim it’s between 30 to 100 each year. It’s gotten to the point where the government had stopped publishing the statistics in order to prevent further deaths. Signs have been posted along the trails encouraging those considering ending their own lives to think of their families and call a suicide prevention association. Every year, teams are assembled to comb the forest for bodies.
Japan has a long tradition of suicide as an honorable practice. For example, Samurai practiced seppuku - a ritualistic suicide method by plunging a blade into their abdomen and disemboweling themselves, followed by decapitation as an act of mercy. Samurai performed this to prevent themselves being taken prisoner or restore lost honor. According to folklore, the forest was also used in the practice of Ubasute. This was practice of taking an elderly relative into the wilderness during times of hardship or famine and abandon them to the elements, where they would die of exposure or starvation. There is, however, no evidence that this ritual was actually practiced. Suicide rates in Japan spiked during the financial crisis in 2008, and have risen again in recent years. The most common method used in the forest is hanging. According to legend, Aokigahara is also haunted. It’s said that the forest is inhabited by yūrei - vengeful and evil spirits of the dead who lure travelers off of the path and lead them to get lost and disoriented, or encourage them to take their own lives. They are said to be the ghosts of suicide or ubasute victims. According to myth, Yūrei are created if a person dies a sudden or violent death, dies with strong negative feelings like rage or depression, or is not buried properly.
Adding to tense atmosphere, is the condition of the forest itself. It’s very easy to get lost in the forest. The trees are incredibly dense in some places, and the ground consists of porous lava rock that absorbs sound, making it both very quiet and difficult for sound to travel. It gives this place a very isolated feeling. The soil has a high iron content that interferes with GPS and cell phone signals. There are some who claim that compasses have malfunctioned and only spun in circles. This, however, is regarded as false. The dense foliage can block light from reaching the forest floor, hiding rocks and roots from view.
If you, or anyone you know, is considering suicide, please know that you are not alone out there. There are people who can help you. If you’re considering taking your own life please contact a suicide prevention helpline. Numbers for various crisis hotlines can be found below. Help is out there.

Just found your blog and I wanna thank you for putting the help lines in your pinned post and at the end of your writing thank you for that
You are very welcome dearest, I think it's important to have awareness like that in posts as sick and twisted as my own. I don't stand for abuse. I don't put up with abuse- but I will write abuse. I know my writing is glorifying horrible situations and therefore those helplines are to snap my audience back to reality.
