Keep in mind that both the NSPL/988 and the Trevor Project can call the police on you, and can send you to the psych ward against your will.

Click your country and issues and it will help you find hotlines/warmlines/resource lines in your country For support. This is not for pmdd alone but anxiety, depression, distraction from voices etc. I cannot promise anyone anything *use at your own risk*. But I have be very successful with warmlines as they are usually peer run and you hopefully will be met with people who are or have been in a place you have.

Although this program is based in NYC, it accepts callers/texters from all over the US (and also not the US, but don’t quote me on that). As far as I know, hotline-style peer support is a fairly new thing and this one comes equipped with text if you’ve rather not talk on the phone.

If you’ve had a bad experience with a traditional suicide or crisis hotline, do not find the way they function to meet your needs, and want a different kind of support based on lived experience, from someone who has maybe been through similar things as you, this is a great resource to know about.
