Someone answers and listens. Listens to everything you hav eto say in a caring and non judgmental way. It is an amazing experience with people that want to help you.

A caring person is there to help, a person who is disconnected from your situation and can therefore provide a clear solution and way forward to overcome the suicdal thoughts

They will give the caller personal tips and attempt to calm the listener down and occupy their mind. Afterwards, they will recommend therapists and physical psychologists.

when someone calls a suicide hotline there is people who help you over come the thoughts of suicide and try to comfort you. And is completely private and you don't even have to tell them your name they are open 24/7 all the time.

If you are in the United States, there is a fairly new organization called called CTL, or Crisis Text Line. It's like suicide hotline, but uses texting from your cell phone rather than voice-to-voice speech. If you are more comfortable with texting, that outlet may be more helpful. For more information, go to crisistextline.org. (:

Whenever you call the suicide hotline they ask you questions on the phone, regarding the situation. They try to help and talk you through some things, however if they feel that you are a danger to yourself and you have an actual plan on doing something, they will definitely (and if not) consider putting you into a mental facility or hospital for your safety however if you don't have a plan, they talk through it with you and they help you analyze everything that is going on, I have personally called the suicide hotline, I didn't get sent to the hospital, but the hotline was super helpful although it may seem scary to call them, nothing bad happened to me however. I believe you can do it and just believe that if you want help that you can do it too!

You will put onto one of the lines lovely operators and after which they will ask you some questions such as your current state and situation. If they feel that you are going to take your life they will pursue further methods of talking you down and sometimes calling or alerting authorities to help you avoid such an awful event. If they feel as though you have calmed down or have changed your mind they will tell you to call any time and to seek help.

When someone calls a suicide hotline, they connect to someone that takes the time out of their day to help others in need. They do this by calming them down, and afterwards suggesting resources to help them.

The person on the other end tries their best talking you out of it. Don't hesitate calling them if you have anything going on. But don't call them for no reason...

you will be put through to someone who's there to listen. They are helpful in a sense of someone there as a listening ear to try and help you or at least direct you to the right person or help. It's NOT a treatment, it's prevention. if you're having thoughts of suicide or you know someone who is, please do contact someone. your life is precious and so are you. Keep fighting
