I have not. Like yourself I do wonder what the experience is like for people who have

I've done that many times. Sometimes I've gotten some very caring and understanding people on the other end of the line. Other times, not so great. Sometimes the people answering the calls are trained volunteers that really aren't getting paid anything. But if you're really feeling upset and thinking about suicide don't hesitate to give it a try. When you feel like you don't know who to talk to and you're in a lot of emotional pain, that's why that number is there.
