Hi Deneb,
If you call a Distress Line, you just do what you'd do here. You tell them what's happening in your life that's stressing you & you tell them how you're feeling.
You don't need to do it 'right'. They're trained in helping people & they will know how to talk with you to help you feel better.
Please don't ever stress about calling them, OK?
That's what they're there for. They hear people talk about all kinds of things.
Lately I've called lots of times. Sometimes I'm really upset; sometimes I'm just sort of stressed.
Don't hesitate to call them. You can even say that it's your first time calling & you feel uncertain/uncomfortable/embarrassed or whatever.
There's no right or wrong way to talk when you call.
I'm glad you thought of calling them! Good for you.
hugs, Kath
