Hey @Ru-bee  are you on today? 

I have a really important question  

This may sound silly for me

[Ru-bee]

Hey, yeah I'm around 🙂

What's up @Sunnyside226? 

[Sunnyside226]

Hey lovely @Ru-bee  

My question is  when someone calls the sane line. 

1,  can we talk about suicidal thoughts 

2, will sane call the police or ambulance?  

3, how long is the call?  

Does sane talk about anything? 

I'm sorry for my silly questions and I'm sorry for saying it here,  @Ru-bee 

[Ru-bee]

That's a good question @Sunnyside226 

1.The SANE helpline is very similar to us here on the forums, where it's okay to talk about thoughts suicide and self-harm, but if you are not currently safe and have any plans to act on those thoughts then Lifeline and Suicide Callback service are the places to call. 

2. Just like us, they have a duty of care, so if you tell them that you are in danger then they might need to call emergency services. As long as you let them know that you're safe and you're not wanting to act on any thoughts of suicide there will be no need for them to call the police or ambulance. 

3. The times of the calls can vary, but they're usually around 20-40 minutes

They're there to talk about lots of different mental health stuff, they give support and information and resources.

@Ru-bee  thankyou.   I was just confused I've never called sane,   I don't know how the phone service calles,  

I'm only asking because   the other day. I was you know   

Also @Ru-bee   can we ask to talk to a male or female?    Sorry for my questions. 

Are you liking the rain?  And are you okay ❤️ 

[Ru-bee]

Hmm I'm not sure whether you can ask for a male or female @Sunnyside226 

If you've been thinking about calling maybe you should give it a go. All of the counsellors on there are lovely.

It's actually really sunny where I am, but I don't mind the rain 😊 Do you like the rain?

[Sunnyside226]

Ok 

@Ru-bee  I was thinking about calling but not now. 

I don't mind rain but I hate it because it makes everything soooo hot   it's been raining for 2 weeks now 

The one person just pushed me over my  edge I'm never never calling anyone about my suicidal p   I'm  angry   it's not fair maybe I'm just not worth listening to.      Bro I'm done with telling people   

Just delete this post whatever I don't care   

[Ru-bee]

I'm really sorry that you've been made to feel that way before @Sunnyside226 

There's always someone to listen here

[Sunnyside226]

No @Ru-bee  it was today.  

 Im never never ever going to talk about suicidal p.  I'll keep it to myself 

Nobody wants to hear it   

this point I don't care       

I wanna been with my parents.      Oh well right 

[Ru-bee]

I can hear that this was really upsetting @Sunnyside226 

What would be helpful at the moment? Do you want to chat about how you're feeling, or we could think about some nice things you could do to give yourself a bit of a pick-me-up, or we could just chat about distracting things - I watched a movie recently and wanted to ask if you've seen it.

Whatever would be most helpful
