I spoke to a Samaritan and it really helped me!

I was feeling so awful, I felt pathetic and lost, I was in a strange state of not wanting to exist. I decided to speak to a Samaritan for the first time, knowing that I they are available 24 hours and it's confidential (I'm in the U.K.), and I wanted to see what this would be like for then maybe getting therapy in the future.

I spoke to an incredibly lovely woman, at first I didn't really know how to put what I felt into words, but I got talking very quickly as she was so nice and so easy to talk to. She was so understanding and so lovely!

I then also had two foxes running around me playing, it felt quite fitting to see something so nice whilst feeling lifted and starting to feel better.

My issues still aren't resolved, but after talking to her I feel so much better, it helped the weight lift off my shoulders for a bit.

The Samaritans are so lovely and they do something so amazing, they did something amazing for me tonight and I'll always remember that!
