Any helplines I could phone? Feeling a bit down.

Hello everyone.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good helpline number for me. I'm aged 21 and basically I haven't had the best of days today and it's been the case for several weeks now.

I would phone the Samaritans but I've tried them before and I don't really find them helpful as they don't really give you any advice and tbh it doesn't feel like a 2 way conversation but merely just talking to a brick wall.

Thankfully I'm not sucidal or depressed or anything but just merely a bit down and very upset by a few things.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks but it's not really something I can type. I kind of prefer talking to someone and listening to what they have to say back at me.

Thank you very much though.

I need a hug really :frown:

Haven't you got a friend/relation you would feel comfortable talking to? Even if not directly about the subject, perhaps someone who just makes you feel better after talking to them?

Problem is all my mates are off at uni. I have one mate studying locally but he never has time for me anymore.

Can't really talk to my family about this.

One uni mate is doing an exchange abroad so can't him. Another one is busy with finals but I caght up with him other day when he came home for the weekend. I have one mate who lvies locally but as I said he's always busy or so he says.

Another one is the reason why I'm a bit down really. TBH I really am looking for a helpline number to speakt o someone who doesn't know me and hence for soem reason that would help.

Careline - 0845 122 8622 . A *lot* more constructive and helpful than the Samaritans, IMHO.

I hope you feel better. May I offer a virtual hug?

OK people. I phoned a different helpline to those mentioned and I'm feeling much happier and positive now. :smile:

Thanks to everyone for all their help and virtual hugs. I'm off to rest now and when I awake I will seize the day! Carpe Dieme! (Have I spelt it right?).

Take care everyone and thanks once again. :smile:
