Distressed and freaked out
14 year old female
Not that long ago I ran away from home in the night and was going to commit suicide. There were all these people walking past me and looking at me funny. This was a regular situation for me... I was really distressed and freaked out.
I often deal with things like this because I am chronically suicidal but it's still really horrifying every time it happens. I rung Kids Helpline and we spoke for a while and eventually I agreed for them to ring the police to come and fetch me and take me to hospital. I believe that was the only thing to do in that situation because I was unable to keep myself safe.
I find it helpful to speak to the counsellors at Kids Helpline because they seem confident in difficult situations and try and help me as best as possible.
