Listen, we get it! We suggest calling hotlines often but we know that calling a random number and asking for support or help isn’t always the easiest thing to do.
Talking to strangers can be hard enough on its own without adding in the element of sharing deeply personal information. Some hotlines offer text or chat options which may lessen the anxiety. We also know that calling hotlines isn’t always a perfect solution and when seeking urgent help, they can sometimes tall short of expectations. We understand that seeking services can sometimes be challenging and we don’t live in an ideal world. We wish there were more consistent resources and easy solutions to problems. But we encourage you to utilize these resources as you need them, even if it sometimes require perseverance and persistence on your part.
