Has anyone ever texted/ called 988 for just being overwhelmed? I don’t think I want to hurt myself but I feel like I’m drowning but I don’t want to take resources away from someone who needs it but I have no one else to talk to

Yes. There is also a text line 741 741 which specifically says on their website you don’t need to be in immediate danger and they will listen.

If u thought of calling them that means it isn’t it waste of resources as long as it’s for the right reasons they where made to help people so if you need the help just call no one can shame u for that

Yes, this past Sunday whether you are at the point of hurting yourself or not, it’s not wasted resources.

Yeah most of those people just read off a script or generally don’t care so more often than not it’s better to talk to a friend or professional
