Has anyone phone the calm helpline before?

[screentime1000]

Just wondering if anyone has called them before I'm going through a really difficult time at the moment.
I'm just trying to stay afloat until I can see my doctor and deal with some of the issues in my life. I've called the Samaritans in the past but find it a bit hit and miss as they can't really say much just listen. Im not sure if calm is more for men to call? Any other places that can offer any support would be greatly appreciated.

Giving this a hopeful bump, also sorry for the spelling error in the title I've just noticed it!

I haven’t tried Calm, @screentime1000, but it doesn’t say just for men on the website:

I’ve found the Blurt website good, and they have a list of helplines etc:

I haven't used the phone line but I've used the calm web chat and that was pretty good.

Hi, I used the web chat just recently and found the lady I spoke to very helpful. In the past I have spoken to the Samaritans a few times, but wasn’t impressed at all. I felt no compassion nor understanding came through the call.

How are you doing, @screentime1000?

I'm not doing to great to be honest, thank you for the links and suggestions Ive had a look through and will try some of them over the next few days. I phoned calm yesterday they are only able to chat for 20-25 minutes but it was better than nothing at all, it filled up a bit of time anyway. Xx

My local Mind have their own local helpline, so it might also be worth checking if there’s one in your area, @screentime1000.
