Will the suicide hotline show up on the phone bill and will it charge for the call?

Question

Ever since this summer, I have been depressed and have had thoughts of suicide. After what happed during summer, I have lived with my dad. Well, no one (except for one) knows of how I feel. It has escalated since then. I fear that sometime soon I will finally try to go through with it. If you could, could you give an e-mail address or website I could use?

Answer 1

If it is a 1 800 (or any toll free #) it wont show up.

please get help soon!

Answer 2

Local calls and toll-free calls generally aren't on the average phone bill. Sometimes bills are itemized, but it's not the norm these days, and is usually only done for long-distance calls. A call to a number beginning 1-800 or 1-888 is toll-free.

Answer 3

Go to suicidal.com its a web site where you can find help Perhaps you should trust your Dad and talk with him for often if you have someone close to onfide in and talk to it can help you a lot. You can also call your Communiy(County) Service Board--look in the Blue Pages find your County where you live and then the Community Service Board--very caring people and they can get you help near to where you live and get you counseling. You are not alone-a lot of teens got hrough this-peer pressure,hormonal changes and even families splitting up-Not Your Fault. Sometimes these things just get to be too much for us to cope with and why we need help-Some Counseling, maybe Group Therapy with kids like Yourself and its No Cost or very little if dad can't afford. Nothing is so bad that there isn't Help avaailable but it will not come to you you have to reach out for it as you are doing by asking here. I will pray that you get the help you need and please stay alive

Answer 4

is there a mental hospital in your city that you know of? I cant give you a website, because everywhere is different depending on where you live. The suicide helpline is actually the number of the mental hospital in your area. If you are under 18, they will tell your parents about your suicidal thoughts and will want to have family councilor...well, that's what happened with me anyway.

Answer 5

hey,

sorry to hear you are going through this it is tough as i know from my personal experience.

The samaritans have a good website, not sure of the site address.

Just type in suicide into google and loads of stuff will come up.

If you are feeling really bad then go to your A and E (ER) as you need to take these feeling seriously.

I am always around, so feel free to write to [e-mail]

speak to you soon hopefully

Answer 6

Go and see your Dr. any Dr. please. These feelings are NOT normal no matter how bad your life is, suicide is not the answer. There is always something better waiting for you and the only way you can go is UP from where you feel now. Go talk to a Dr., tell them what you're feeling and they will point you in the right direction you need to be going for help and it's confidential.

Answer 7

Please, seek help. As someone who lost someone to suicide, reading your message I can only imagine the hurt that people close to you would feel. Knowing someone died is one thing, but it's complete different to know they took their own life - beyond painful. Things change. No matter what is happening now, it is only temporary. I have personally felt like things could not get any worse in my life and they didn't - they got better. I will pray for you and I hope you find the help you need.

Answer 8

Hi George!
There is no charge for calling the hotline (local or 800 #) and it absolutely will NOT show on the bill. I know how you feel, b/c a few years ago, a friend of mine Robert, called me at 3:30 in the morning. He was crying and sounded very depressed. I got in my car and went to see him. He was in very bad emotional shape. We talked all night. I begged him to go to our University clinic. He said OK, but when I check with him he hadn't made an appointment. The next day I went and got him personally and reluctantly he came with me.
Make a long story short, he was put on some very simple medication. One that's so safe that it's even prescribed to pregnant women. Within 10 days, he was markedly better. He even looked better!!! He gradually improved and met someone very awesome. I ran into him two years later. He was married, successful, smiling and so vibrant. He told me about the night he'd called me. He told me that he was just about to take his own life and that he wasn't even going to call anyone or tell anyone. His dog had looked at him with desperation and that had stalled him enough for him to now want to talk. That's when he'd called me which led to him getting the simple but critical help that he needed. He told me that b/c he was so depressed he couldn't see outside of the fog he was in. It took someone to walk him out of the fog before he saw straight. He told me that he's so unbelievably lucky that that dark night didn't dictate what his fate was. He said that he would not have his happy and amazing life now if he'd ended what he thought was misery beyond repair. It wasn't it just SEEMED that way to him and he was CONVINCED that it was hopeless. He thought this because hopelessness is just a chemical imbalance. If people can come out of famines of Rowanda and recover, if people can come out of civil war while they've lost EVERTHING and move on, if people can lose several of their loved ones and cope and find their way out of the darkness, YOU CAN TOO. It's not what's happening to you that's the problem it's how you see it and your hopelessness that's going to determine your fate. Please let someone help walk you to a place where you can see things more clearly. Please don't let something that can be solved with a simple visit to your regular doctor, change the course of your life for the worse. You can and will see things differently if you'll just call the suicide hotlines or better yet see your doctor. There is no shame in being in a funk. It is a crying shame though, to have an illusion of hopelessness determine your life course. Please call. Please fake chest pain or whatever you need to, to see a doctor. He will speak to you in confidence and will help you without anyone knowing. My friend Robert was at a cross road and by a stroke of luck and courage he chose the path that lifted him out of his fog and gave him an awesome wife and a great life. He could have chosen a tragic death. He chose a cure to his sadness. You CAN cope, it just doesn't feel like it. That's the definition of depression. There is an end to the suffering, but it's not suicide. It's a simple re-balancing of two simple chemicals of the body. seratonin and norepinephrine. Once they are in balance you'll see what a shame it would have been for you to've given up, when you were so close to your true life; one of your choosing.
I have a great feeling about your outcome. the fact that you are seeking to talk to someone is indicative that at your cross roads, you'll always choose the correct path. the correct path will always be the one where you're inviting another set of eyes to see with you and another hand to touch in comoraderie as you work to gain yourself/ You will regain yourself. I promise.

Answer 9

No- it is a free and confidential call. Please call it or go to your local clinic and get some help, please. Please do not go through with it, I cannot say it enough.

Answer 10

Don't kill yourself, things will get better for you. Keep faith in God and never stop praying and in the end your reward will be eternal happiness. I'm sure there are people depending on you and who need you to survive, so remember you are important and that without you alive the world woud be a darker place.
