Calling Samaritans

Hi there
NC for obvious reasons. I've been feeling suicidal for awhile now. Mainly because of financial strain and issues in my marriage (in-laws).
I was thinking of calling Samaritans but am worried the calls are not anonymous? I have a 4 year old so worried she might be taken from me if I say I'm suicidal.
Any help appreciated. I'm not from here so I feel very alone.

The calls are anonymous.

Call them and then set up an appointment with your GP.

No one just removes a child because you are in crisis, social services and other agencies offer support not just the nuclear removing children from their families.

So sorry you are feeling so desperate 💐

Calling the Samaritans is a really good idea.

I was feeling like this a year ago and went to my GP. At the time my child was also 4. I was given medication and lots of support - they offered to refer me to the Early Help section of children's services and I declined. It went no further.
Please reach out to wherever you can to get the support you need.

Thank you all. I'm terrified of reaching out for help
