A Text For Help (Psychology Today reports)

I read an article from Psychology Today (USA) August 2015 edition, page 12,which I would like to share with you, especially since most of my readers are from the States. The article reports that since the summer of 2013, counsellors at a Crises Text line have received and sent more than six million text messages. They answered notes from youth struggling with suicidal thoughts, bullying, depression etc…This service is free twenty four hours daily and Confidential. The number to text is 741-741. If you are feeling suicidal please see someone who can help you. There is help. Why not save a life today? Why not save your own? Call a crises centre, any professional therapist, or go to a hospital. Get help. Even though you or maybe someone you know may feel there is no hope, studies indicate that a high percentage of people who have tried to commit suicide and failed, would not do so now. Be careful to protect yourself from those who want to cause harm when you are feeling so low. What do you think?
