    Just a disclaimer: I'm not suicidal right now, this is just in case I do feel suicidal in the future.

    I have social anxiety and the thought of calling someone and speaking to them about what I'm feeling makes me really anxious. I was wondering if anyone knows any alternatives to calling a hotline (like live chats or something). I found imalive.org, which is a crisis live chat, but I was wondering if any of you know any similar websites.

    If I'm not mistaken, The Trevor Project has IM or text-style support available 24/7.
