Is there a free immediate online counselling service for adults?

I am probably asking the world here, but I really need to talk to someone who can give me some advice, and that is free and hopefully fast.

I have tried emailing the Samaritans and they were lovely but I didn't realise they are not allowed to give advice but only ask me about my feelings. I know what my feelings are and why I have them but I need some practical tips as to how to deal with my situation.

It's not anything serious in that I am going to do any harm, nothing like that at all. Basically, I have too much going on, too many things causing me pressure, and I have been so worried by it all that it has paralysed me. And the unfortunate irony there is that every day I procrastinate, is a day less that I have to do what needs to be done. I'm not sleeping very well. I am anxious and scared and nervous.

Oh, I forgot my question! Is there an online chat service or anything like that, maybe from a charity or something, that can give advice?

Thank you Flowers

Oh, and there is absolutely no way I can speak to any family or friends. Especially not DP. He thinks I am holding it all together and would be furious to know I have actually done nothing in the past two weeks that resembles any work or tackling of these huge tasks ahead of me.

You could check out www.7cups.com/ - there's an option to chat with volunteers for free, and some other resources.
