I have only ever had really good experiences with the Samaritans, I think they are an amazing charity and believe if it wasn't for them I would have died a few times. When you are in a crisis, their is no point in having a crisis team if you have to wait 4 to 8 hours to speak to them but, I did not have to wait long to get through and being able to speak to someone in the height of my crisis, helped me so much and I always got someone lovely to speak to be a man or woman. They were kind, caring and listened and showed empathy. I have had to ring them a lot over the last two years because, my mental health hit rock bottom and I have no other support. When I suicidal and do low, they listened to me with no pressure to finish the call, when I could not lift my mood up myself after trying very hard myself I would ring them and just talking to them and the distraction would live my mood up and give me energy to fight on. I found it easier than the crisis team, because they are so busy and stretched. I was grateful for any help especially unpaid, they are volunteers and they do it out of the goodness of their hearts and I do grateful to them for saving my life at times. To me any charity help is a bonus because the mental health service don't help you or you wend up going round in circles and being past from pillar to post and it sends you mental. So for me Samaritans all I have to say is Thank you Samaritans.
