  • I'm suicidal but I have selective mutism. What now 1-800-suicide?

  • in germany you can go to blue-promise.jimdo.com ...

  • If I call 1800suicide will anyone be told about what I say?? Will cops really be sent to my house??? Or will it just be advice? =\ I'm thinking about calling but I'm afraid

  • :(

  • FUCK. There's suicidal Atheists out there too. And we don't wanna hear "if you look deep enough Christ will save you. God is the almighty eternal one." CAUSE THAT SHIT ISNT TRUE. stop. You guys don't help people. And I called this place once. The lady sounded really nice but I got scared hung up and just found a knife instead. Maybe someone would care if I called again? /:

  • If you go to church you will get help. The best ones have the best Youth groups. So if you are ever alone and need help I suggest you go to a christian person you know from church or school. They will probably invite you to church and you can ask to speak with a pastor and that really helps. Prayer goes a long way and sometimes strangers will care about you the most. I've been in situations where something wanted me to end my life and it was usually because I was impacting lives without knowing.

  • Impacting lives in a good way. I would later have people come up to me and tell me they appreciated something I did or said. They would say that and I would think to myself how it would have been different if I wasn't there to do that. It all works out really, even when you have no idea what's happening. It's good not to know what's going on, sometimes good things happen. Wait for it.

  • Those of you who are contemplating the idealism of suicide must remember that God has you here for a reason. Not just to make your life a living hell at school, work, finances, or losing a love one? But we are here for each other & those of you who feel you have no one who cares will be surprised that you do & that is God. Be patient because God has a special job for all of us. Life is short & no matter how bad it may seem? You may be pleasently surprised how it will turn out. God loves you!

  • That was a horrible hotline. The lady kept telling me I need to tell my parents about my thoughts and everything. Then she said if I killed myself "other peoples lifes would go on" this kinda made me more depressed then I already was...

  • I called them and asked them what reason I had to live. "You tell me." I reply with I don't know. "Then I can't help you."

    Thanks guys. I just swallowed a paste I made by grinding multiple anti-depressants, blood pressure medications and pain killers and stirring it in water. Then I chased it with vodka. If nobody finds me this will be my last YouTube comment. Fuck yeah.

  • I'm in dire need of help. Living where I am now, with my family, these people, is unbearable. All day everyday they torture me. I must leave. I want to live. I want to be happy, I do not want to be abused anymore. Where can I go? To be loved? Can the people on these phonelines help me?!

  • every time I call I end up talking to bored sounding black girls who sound like they hate life more than I

  • As someone who for years on and off has struggled with depression and anxiety and suicidal thoughts and actions, this is the only helpline I called that actually seemed to care. He is right about government ones. They just talk to you and to their job, get off the phone and if you're still feeling down they send the police. The person I talked to here stayed on the phone with me and was supportive and seemed like he really cared. Every time I though he was going to go he kept talking to me.

  • So if you call this helpline, they won't call police or authority no matter what?

  • I called this number, ive waited 10 minutes listening to the jazzy tune, its getting boring...

  • well done you guys thanks for helping me

  • man this is the most unfunny MADTV skit i've ever seen.

    Michael McDonalds just not trying any more.

  • my boyhood friend Sgt Peter Maginnis of the Nypd killed himself one Friday in 2002 in brooklyn Ny he shot himself Suicide is real awful

  • I wish I can volunteer my voice to stop others from committing suicide

  • "Suicide is not chosen; it happens

    when pain exceeds

    resources for coping with pain."

  • I'm going to paint my house.

  • These people are Amazing. Truely amazing

  • One of my best friends is suicidal. I don't completely understand it but all I know is that I recommended calling this hotline and she's getting better quickly. Recently, she ended up showing me her bruises, cuts, and burns. She really opened up to me about this. And that meant a lot to me. Thank you for saving my best friend:) and for saving many other lives...

  • thank you so much suicide hotline you helped me in my time of need :]

    i love you guys<3

  • Please don't. There is hope and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Wait for you happy ending. It's why I hold on, and I beg you to hold on with me.

  • Are you sure? You might be right. Are you sure upon the moment of death that you might not want a Good Humor strawberry shortcake ice cream bar?

    I don't know why people do what they do each day.

  • @ThatFreakBabyKenzie thank,i haveing hard times i did try but than i was thinking how many peppole i would hurt if i did that

  • How can you even say that? A brave person wouldnt kill themselves. A brave person wouldnt live. A brave person would venture to thrive. Its much easier to sink into the depths of despair and kill yourself before you surface. But its much harder and takes more courage to perciever .Where is your compassion for your brothers and sisters?

    I think you, yourself, are hurt and damaged. I think you have felt crippling pain that has jaded you and I'm sorry. I honestly wish you the best. You are loved.

  • I take offense to this do to the fact my little brother has aspergers

  • i care i lost afriend to suicide please dont i could give u love there are times i want to commit to but i think positive and for hope!

  • Suicide is very difficult. Most methods have a very high chance of failure. As a result, only the most compulsive people succeed with those methods. I'm not compulsive, that's pretty much the only reason I haven't don it yet. Looking for the perfect method that doesn't involve firearms.

  • You're lucky to live in the USA and have access to firearms.

    I myself can't find any other decent way of killing myself, exept jump which is kind of scary and has a high chance of failure ...

    Some people are enough crazy to drown themselves, or cut their veins, I envy them...

  • It's getting harder and harder to purchase a firearms over here. The media is literally bought out by our Democratic party who uses every single gun crime as an excuse for more laws. We have politicians just like yours.

  • exactly. do you know how much it costs to get them as well?! impossible.

  • i wish i could just be done with it already, im so close

  • I called this helpline when I was really depressed. The counsellor who took my call was hardly interested in talking to me. She hardly took any initiative to ask me about my problems. It was so embarassing to call her. Thank god I wasnt suicidal or I would have had really thrown myself after talking to her. I feel some of these helplines are big hoax and are just to make money.

  • if you weren't suicidal why did u call them? she probably thought u were just being dramatic or a timewaster, which is why she wouldn't have given u any attention. people who call them are meant to be desperate for help not for talking about problems.

  • Really depressed generally does lead to suicide when the person that is really depressed contemplates their situation...

  • You don't have to know anything about a person to care about that person.

  • i might as well kill myself im already dead

  • WTH? why suicide

  • because suicide is SERIOUS. depression is SERIOUS. u dont just feel sad, u feel like ur body is falling apart. because its a disease of the brain u cant control.

    so this is NOTHING to make fun of.

  • i think its a good thing that they do there, but they dont really help.

    they tell u to go to the hospital. but they if u dont go to a psychologist, they dont help that much.

    if u dont know EXACTLY wat's wrong with u they dont really help. u cant talk THAT deep with sume one over the phone, so if u dont know wats wrong, then its more hard.

    but, even if u have a story, all they do is tell u to go to the hospital.

  • fuck da gobment!

  • I think "Him" refers to God... seeing as Jesus is God's son... God created everything.

  • Guitar.. how would prank calling a SUICIDE hotline be funny AT ALL?

  • No he didnt. Lucifer was an angel, he tried to have as much power as god, but he failed, and god banned him from heaven, hes now known as the devil.

  • haha one of my friends did...

  • Beautiful woman that Kristin Brooks

  • suicide is natural selection for christian satan shitbag

  • ...you need to re read the bible...

  • this helped me alot :)

  • omfg i thought it was a joke so i called like 10 times!!!! i didnt know it was really lol

  • Im going to donate money this month :)

  • do you have any proof that there is a hell?

  • Matthew 5:29: "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away." If you cut your hand off, you're almost certainly going to die. Esp. around 30 AD when there was minimal medical care. So Jesus is endorsing suicide as a means of AVOIDING hell.

  • I think about killing myself everyday but when i tell someone about it they dont care.

  • You fool. Jesus barely even mentioned hell.

  • Remember Boys and girls, if you do want to kill yourself, do it with razors while listening to Linkin Park! :D

  • Suicide is a valid choice for many people. We can only stand misery for so long.

  • Ahuahuahuahuahuahuahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

  • Go ahead give thumbs down you pussies.

  • It's good that you even care.. God is the eternal Creator of the universe and we are created in His image. We are able to distinguish right from wrong. BUT if we are spiritually DEAD (as a result of sin) and we live without understanding who God really is, it is easy to deny God's existence. Try not to get caught up in unmeditated thinking cause it could be a trap. I'm sure that if you sincerely want to know the answers to your questions, that you ask God yourself, He will listen. GBU.

  • :'(

  • wow. how do you just dismiss someone's desperation? maybe you have no sympathy with someone who would attempt suicide. maybe the world would be a better place if people just killed themselves more often, is that it?

  • I hate it that the line will be closing and it would be a crisis if it closed. Praying that it won't close. As I know I nearly committed suicide. As it wasn't worth killing myself. Life is important and short!

  • shoot me please

  • WHAT IS THIS SONG?!

  • ur choice is your choice, cause ppl that say dont do it, but they r in the same situation, if u acctualy would call this, it means you want help, and dont fully waana comit suicide, i plan to this year, but i dont go off asking for help...

  • WHAT! did I just hear you right? I want to talk to you.I know myself. I am as sinful as the worst sinner, as it says in the Bible. I am unworthy of being saved from my sins. I'm just watching everything and everyone fall around me and that I face judgement of what I do every day. While I can see the light, I still walk in the darkness.I am even worser than an average sinner, because while I know what the truth is, I am still so evil. What is your story?

  • idk if i still will, and i am an athiest... ive asked god for help too many times for help, and ive looked for any responce, but there is nothing, i gave up. but now, i am out of... mental hospital, and im better now, i tried to leave earth 3 times in a row, but i didnt do it the right way i guess... but thats the past, im happier now

  • Life is temporary, a blink in an eternity. Don't go looking around your situation, even yourself, He came for you and carried YOUR punishment. You don't think that all your suffering comes from being separated from God?? God created man in His perfect image, so that when Adam and Eve sinned, they disobeyed God and died. Spiritually I mean. When God said they would die, he meant they were separated from his holy presence, but he would restore it, read Gen 3:15. Amen. Say Amen.

  • It's a fact that over 9,000 people a week have been killing themselves in many, many interesting ways. There must be something that can done to save this resource. Please take a minute to do something.

  • The government sends the police...? O_O <-< That's messed.

  • you should try calling again and wait till someone answers. i hope your okay.

  • Several of the comments on this video bother me. This hotline has saved so many lives, yet all people care to do is hide behind their computer screens and insult it simply because they can do so anonymously.

    Just because you don't need someone to listen doesn't mean that no one else does.

  • It's not a way out. Don't let it build. Seriously, get help. You have no idea how much suicide hurts those around you. Better to tough it out. Life is what you make it.

  • Omfg, only an complete IDIOT would say that without checking the FACTS. America is 30th in the world in suicide rates. Your country is 39th. A difference of only 3.6 people per 100K. Fucking moron.

  • Do i have a phone line like this? No, stfu America is retarded, maybe cool but retarded.

  • i agree

  • i'm going to kill myself with chloroform :\

    who cares?

  • i am not sure whether or not to kill myself, i mean 2 people i cared about died and than after i was starting to feel like i could get through it my dog dies.... i hate life!!!! life's a bitch!!

  • Ahh like I always say, you must go through with the hard times to get to the good times, just take it, breathe in deeply and smile and move on with life. You may think that i am wrong but something good will happen to you, just believe :]

  • wtf? 1 dollor = 3 people?

    The value of people is going down fast

  • only you can help you! but it would be nice to be able to speak to someone, and know that they will give you information to a resource center, and not call the cops. i'm sure sending them a dollar. if you've ever been touched by a friend or loved one who has commit suicide, give a dollar for their memory!

  • ahaha so did I

  • bitch

  • They mean that they will be celebrating three years by July 19.

  • No. This is for real.

  • The truth is hotlines are only as good as their weakest link. We are all human and capable of failing. Why do we hold crisis hotlines to a higher standard than 9-1-1? Crisis line workers should be recognized as extraordinary people for caring and listening unconditionally on a volunteer basis day after day.They deserve our support, praise, and recognition. The crisis centers in the Hopeline Network have over 7,000 volunteers and answer over a million calls a year from their local communities.

  • How do you know unless you actually called them or tried to commit suicide. Sometimes all it takes is someone to talk it out with to make a world of difference. If I didnt have that, I wouldnt be here. I am a survivor since October 2003.

  • I know because I did call one of those hotlines.

    And the first thing I did after I hung up the phone was grab a pill bottle.

  • That I didnt know. But I know that for all the ones that it doesnt help, there are countless others that it did help. Sometimes you just get an idiot on the other end of the line. Just like any human on the face of the earth.

  • god bless you, without people like you i wouldnt be here right now, my girlfriend wouldnt be here right now, god bless you

  • i have called that number before, and the lady i was connected with made me feel worse because of how big of a bitch she was. She hoenstly yelled and swore, only thing that saved my ass was my ex-girlfriend.

  • Thank you

    This hot line saved my friends life

  • Would it be wrong to call 1800suicide to confirm this site before donating?

  • If you mean call the owners of 1-800-SUICIDE that would be the Kristin Brooks Hope Center. Our number is 202-536-3200. It is fine to call us to confirm that this campaign is to raise money to secure 1-800-SUICIDE's future as a privately owned and run hotline (or any other reason too). Please do call us. If you are in crisis please do call the hotline.

  • If frank Warren said it, its ok man

  • This is an important service, and I hope they keep this number independent of the Federal government.

    Suicide tears at families and friends of survivors and the communities they live in.

    One important difference between the people who made this video and the Federal Government--These folks do not keep your personal data. The Feds have NOT made that guarantee. You want people feeling comfortable calling, which they may not if they think the Feds are storing their data.

  • It takes a real person to be able to talk about their feelings and what they are going through. A stronger person than an idiot who can hide behind his comp and make stupid remarks just to be 'funny'. I wish I had known about this hotline sooner, but I just got lucky by God to have survived my attempts and learned on my own that my life is valuable. It was not that I was 'whiny' at all; noone knew and noone could have guessed. So to make ASSumptions does only one thing on you...Nice vid I added.

  • some people really need a life

  • that line will and has saved alot of people

  • they dont help,

    they just tell you to call the police.

    lol

  • Why do some of you not like this line? From where i stand ti looks liek they actually help ulike the govenment. What do you have against this? Also if you want a complete stranger to talk to im here if you want help.

  • Amen.

  • 1800suicide does NOT report it and does NOT send police. I've called and i know

    second of all people can have mood swings or times they want to die, but when theyre clear headed want to live. or people can besuicidal, but want help to stay alive.

  • Obviously.

  • Wait? So if you call do they send the police? What if you just need someone to talk to?

  • You didn't get it... they said that's what the GOVERNMENT will do if the government managed to buy the hotline out. This is why they need our support. Hopeline as it is now respects your privacy and will offer you someone to talk to if that's all you're seeking.

  • No, that's not what they said. They said that THEY will send psychiatric people and the government will send the police. Either one is pretty bad if you actually want to kil yourself.

  • so they will send people no matter what? even if its psychiartic people that's not respecting my privacy

  • I'm not sure, I'm just going by what the guy literally said in the video. I know that if you tell a therapist or counselor or psychologist or whatever that you're planning to harm yourself or someone else, they HAVE to report it. To whom they would report it to, I don't know, but I've heard that many times. But if you really wanted to kill yourself, you wouldn't be calling one of those lines or seeking help. Seeking help means you don't really want to do it.

  • As someone who talked to a therapist face-to-face, and as someone who is the daughter of a mental health worker, I was told by my therapist that were I planning on killing myself, and told her so, she could get me help, however that would mean calling the police. If you are underage they will contact your parents--you have become a danger to *yourself and others* at that point. Also, many states have laws regarding how long they can hold you against your will in a hospital.

  • the third secret, the rotated one is mine.

    Thank you Hopeline network, thank you frank.

    Anyone know what song this is?

  • The song is Breakable by Ingrid Michaelson

  • nope, its not Breakable.

    i'm also interested in knowing what song it is.. but it is for sure not Breakable by Ingrid Michaelson.

  • Oops, you're right, I'm sorry. I somehow had two videos playing at once, so dumb.

  • God bless 1-800-SUICIDE

  • If I actually wanted to kill myself though..I wouldn't want to talk to anyone about it, let alone be hospitalized...do you know what one of those places made me do?..and did to me?

    Honestly, I've thought about calling this number once...but only because I wanted to talk to someone...not be put in a mental institution. Thanks, now I know not to call this number because I don't want to go back to that joint. If I do intend to ever actually do myself in. But maybe you guys can help others?

  • You didn't listen to the message completely, did you? - He was saying that the GOVERNMENT policy would be to send police and the mental inst. - the current hotline offers a person to listen and the advice to talk to a counselor - NOT the police.

    By calling this number, you are not necessarily going to be sent to a mental inst - they are going to help you!

  • No, I listened to it.

    This number traces calls and if it's "serious" enough, they'd call the cops themselves. They even call parents.

    I've had too many bad experiences at the mental institutions to care to go there again.

    Like I said, I'd rather want to talk to someone...not end up in a hospital later that day.

  • i think you're confusing how this hotline believes a person that calls for help should be dealt with how the government believes should be done.

    its the government that wants ppl to be taken straight to the hospital. this hotline isn't being run by the government. its privately funded.
