Suicide prevention hotlines are available 24/7, ensuring there is always somewhere and someone you can turn to when in crisis.
That does not mean there is no one in your life who would help, though it may mean depression has convinced you that's the case.
Corinne Purtill credits the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline with saving her life, and she's speaking up so that we'll know the bottom does not need to mean the end.
That line, now called the 988 Lifeline, has changed from its former 800-number to the easier to remember 3-digit number, 9-8-8 in the U.S. and Canada. You can text or chat to the number, if you prefer that to calling.
