Samaritans Sahara, Mumbai.
The organisation has a helpline for the distressed and depressed people who at a particular point of time of their life need someone to talk to. That someone could be an anonymous person talking and listening to them from the other end of the telephone line. Samaritans offers such kind of help. The volunteers will listen to you and provide you with the required "emotional support" when it is most needed. They will not advise or guide or judge. They will only try and lead you to finding your own solution. You are free to express yourself, your feelings, depression with them. You may not even tell your name or identity. JUST CALL AND EXPRESS.
The Samaritans Sahara is affiliated to the Befrienders worldwide, UK.
In India, though the need for such a helpline is immense, the infrastructure is underdeveloped. The awareness among people about the existence of such helpline is minimal.
There are times in life when all is not well either around us or in our mind.
Why not resort to the telephone helpline to get over those ugly moments which may dangerously lead to committing suicide. A valuable life is lost only because there was no one to listen to him/her at that crucial moment.
We must accept that each one of us at some point or other and at different levels of intensity, do experience that hopelessness in life. Every person has his or her own way of dealing with such weak moments. Some get over it very easily by distracting themselves or engaging themselves somewhere else. But some become victims of those few seconds of hopelessness and may lose their lives in the heat of the moment.
I strongly recommend any helpline at such times.
Save your own life and lead it wonderfully.
Really, Life is beautiful!
