[doglover1973 in reply to TinnitusUKPaula72]

Thank you TinnitusUKPaula72 Nice to meet you too 🐶

[rabbits65]

Good morning Paula, such a good idea posting this on here for us all

[Bridiecat]

hiya Paula, as a mental health therapist working within crisis level situations , I was seconded for two years during Covid, to a dedicated mental health crisis line in Somerset. It’s called Mindline Somerset. It’s been in operation since early 2000’s. It’s a 24/7 service and offers callers within Somerset free 30 mins support (within a single 24 hour period) for anything that affects mental or emotional health. It will accept calls outside Somerset boundaries for 15 mins. Currently upwards of over 120 calls a day. Completely anonymous except if caller is suicidal and at immediate risk. All staff are highly trained and skilled paid or vol staff, many are therapists. In addition to listening, they differ from the Samaritans in that they have a duty of care and can start referral procedures to organisations and other services, can offer and help in the moment anxiety techniques over the phone and intrusive thoughts. I’ve noticed the odd member struggling with suicidal ideation so I wonder if you would add this to your contact list. Many thanks Claire

[Bridiecat]

Mindline Somerset 0800 138 1692 - probably a good shout to place near start of list

[Thorian]

Hello, I cannot even tolerate telephones due to severe Hyperacusis and severe reactive tinnitus - is there any chat based support available?

[Bridiecat in reply to Thorian]

Yes there is a text chat service from 6pm onwards, go onto Mind in Somerset web page and there is a yellow/orange chat bubble on the home page that you can access from 6 pm onwards to 11pm (I think). You can remain anonymous and do not have to give location away either. Hope it helps
