Hey @Snowie,
I am really sorry to see things are a bit difficult today but it is really impressive that you were able to notice that early and be aware enough to reach out to supports when you needed them.
It can be disheartening to not be able to get through immediately to a helpline and it can feel quite personal, however it does not mean you do not matter. You have some great support here and I encourage you to keep trying to get through to the helplines, some times are just a bit busier than others. Maybe you can think of ways to stay distracted until you get through? Like posting pictures in the gardening thread or starting a new thread about something that you like/a hobby?
And if you end up feeling unsafe at any point please don't hesitate to call 000.
💫
