If you are depressed but not suicidal, go for it; if you want to talk or you’re feeling sad, sure. But if you’re suicidal and feel hopeless, do not use it.

IMalive is a for-profit service, first of all. What kind of suicide hotline is for-profit? A sketchy one.

But more importantly: They’ll only talk to you for about 15-20 minutes or so; most of that time will be spent asking you questions such as “on a scale of 1-10, how much do you feel like harming yourself?” It feels more like they’re trying to almost catalog everyone who stops by rather than actually solving the problem.

And even worse: I know someone who called IMalive when they were suicidal. The person at IMalive said something along the lines of ”if you don’t want help, why are you here” and disconnected the call with this person. They ended up attempting suicide (but luckily, as they were talking to me and some other friends, ended up in a hospital). I followed up with them recently and they are doing better, and are glad to be alive. But that’s no thanks to IMalive.

If you are suicidal, try crisischat.org instead. I have had much better experiences with that service.

Listen, you need to get yourself to a hospital. That sounds scary as fuck maybe, but you need to get away from the people who are hurting you. You need to be somewhere where you feel stable and safe. 

Try talking to crisischat or youthspace (US and Canada respectively) as well. I've had good experiences with both of them (youthspace used to help in the US as well but switched to Canada only). If you don't live in either of those countries those sites list some resources for you, as well. 

There's a lot of hate and a lot of assholes, and it's hard to ignore, but you can always be friends with those of us who aren't hateful.

Suicide is one of the worst ways to go. I don't to see you leaving this world feeling like you never deserved to be here at all, or like you're worthless, or any of those awful feelings that leads someone to take his/her own life. 

Even if it feels like there's nothing left, like there's no happiness to be found in the world, there is. Sometimes it likes to hide, though, and really fuck with us and put people through hell through its own evasiveness. But it's possible to defeat the hell you're going through. It is, even when you're so tired you feel like you're filled with lead, even when you're so done with life that you have to drag yourself out of bed and through the day.
