I confess that I called the crisis hotline just to have someone to talk to
Do you think of the crisis hotline as your last resort?
Yes, though I usually call someone else.  It is better than just keeping my feelings inside.
It is good to reach out for support when you feel down. Internet hotlines are answered by compassionate people who want to help and you will probably feel better afterwards.
This is quite a first for me and I feel enlightened. I didn't know I could feel better, sometimes you just need someone to talk.
Well then I'm glad that you did call.  Even though it may not have been a crisis, if you were feeling like you needed to talk, then it was important for you to get that chance.  We'll always be here if the need strikes again.
