Any alternatives to 988?
…so..uh.. I now this isnt a great place to ask this but uh… is there any alternatives to 988? Uhm.. from my experience and research, 988 is a shitty hotline…and I cant find anything else.
If a good or better hotline is from another country then can I use a vpn for it? I also want it to be very personal and not-recorded (dont want my parents finding out nor my private information getting clipped).
I’m going through a lot and it’d be nice to receive a bit of help, i’ve been ignoring my mental health for years and years by now and I can feel that i’m at a point where I could commit to harm so the best option for me is to get some sort of help (other than therapy due to many reasons).
Also preferably a hotline that also has text on website feature?
if youre young (under 25 iirc) and lgbt, the trevor project has an online chat option under its crisis services. read the terms of service to see if it fits your desired level of privacy. im not sure what non-lgbt options are out there and i hope you get to feeling better. 1 reply
