Texting Emergency Crisis Line

[LibraryLove]

So I don't know if people know about this or not on here, but someone made a really good point on the calling Crisis lines, and that it's not always easy to make a phone call. I found this amazing texting line you can message and the response time is quick. If you text 741741 you'll be set up with someone who can talk to you and help you out. This is super cool and I just wanted to pass it on here in case no one knew about this.

LibraryLove, I am so glad you shared such an important message for those

who may need a crisis line. I hope you got the comfort and support you needed.

There's nothing like reaching out to a professional in our time of need. xx

Thanks! I'm doing good today, and I appreciate your well wishes. The best thing to do is to of course contact a professional. But sometimes our emotions or mental illness will try and get to the best of us and it's not so easy to turn to a professional right away. This is a good line to contact in an emergency for when you need some one RIGHT NOW.
