Crisis Hotlines in the US? *Trigger SI, ED, Substance Abuse, Sexual Assault*

[-Asphyxia-]

Are there hotlines in the United States for issues like SI, ED's, and Alcoholism? These are my vices and fall backs, and I get urges to talk about things w/people before I make a mistake...I've used hotlines for sexual assault numerous times, but never for anything else. I can't afford "real/proper" therapy at the moment, so I hope that there is something out there for my other bad habits...even if it's over the phone.



I am so lame and pathetic.

The "big two" for any crisis are:

1-800-273-TALK
1-800-SUICIDE

NEDA runs an ED-specific hotline Monday through Friday, 8:30am -4:30pm PST. The number is 1-800-931-2237.

These others I found doing a quick search for crisis hotlines.

24 hour National Council on Alcoholism hotline: 1-800-NCA-CALL

National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug information: 1-800-729-6686 (English)
1-877-767-8432 (Spanish)

National Association of Anorexia and Associated Disorders: 1-847-831-3438

National Sexual Assault Hotline (RAINN) : 1-800-656-HOPE

Your local hospital or mental health facility should have a mental health crisis line as well. Most toll free 800 numbers can be used to connect even if the line is based out of state, and you can also look in the phone book (near the front) for key numbers relating to:
suicide prevention
crisis intervention
hotlines - crisis or suicide
community crisis center
county mental health center
hospital mental health clinic

ANY of these numbers are suited for any type of crisis.

Thank you so much for the help. I really appreciate it.

There's also quite a good list here.

Hope you're ok
