Are there any "safe" hotlines to call?

[escapefromabuse]

First, I love this forum. I love that I can come here and be really and truly understood. I've been through horrific emotional manipulation and abuse and my mind is a complete mess.

Sometimes I need to talk, though. Sometimes typing and reading words on a screen are too much. Do I want to ctb? Somedays I don't know what stops me. Other days I know exactly what stops me.

Are there any "safe" hotlines to call just to talk and vent? I learned the hard way that the national suicide hotline is NOT safe; do not call them unless you want police knocking on your door.

To be honest I think every hotline Might do something (there might be that one hotline someone knows that won't do something) I understand typing can be a hassle, typing fast and trying to get everything in there. You can always try calling someone from SS but just understand the dangers of giving someone your personal phone number. I started to talk to a former SS user here and we became so close, she is like a sister to me and helps me in everyway. So it's all up to you but again, understand what can come out and be careful who you trust, much love! (:

Every hotline becomes safe when used on old phone just for this purpose, with buttons, and fake name on sim card.

There is a small subscription fee, but there is an app for this. I don't know of any free services like this. I just came across it when researching encrypted SMS and phone calls.
