Need someone to talk to

Hi

Does anyone know of any free counselling live chat rooms or something like that, please?

I'm feeling really down and desperate, really struggling....

I just need to talk to someone and don't want to post all my problems on here.

Thanks

    Got to agree.

    The internet is full of cynics.

    Best to open your heart in a place less public.

    Thanks but i have no credit on my phone to make the call, not free on mobiles.
  • Hi Goblin36, sorry to hear you are struggling, I can understand you would not wan't to air your problems on a public forum. I have had a quick look online for live chat rooms but couldn't see anything, The Samaritans however have 24 help. http://www.samaritans.org/talk_to_someone.aspx Hope this helps, take care.
  • How much does it cost to telephone Samaritans?

    The cost of calling Samaritans 08457 90 90 90 (UK) varies according to your telephone provider and your contract with them.

    Click here for a full breakdown of the latest costs

    If you dial your local branch, the cost is the same as that of a local call or may be a free call, dependent on the arrangements you have with your own telecommunications provider.

    Unfortunately, as a charity, Samaritans is unable to provide our service as a freephone number to the 5 million callers that get in touch every year.

    For callers who can’t afford the cost of a call, Samaritans accept reverse charge calls from landline and mobile telephones and also from telephone call boxes. Additionally, callers can also ask us to call them back and then the cost of the call is paid for by Samaritans.


    Copied and paste from the Samaritans website.

    I take it you are on your own? Is there no-one around that you would feel you could talk to?
