Oof that does actually suck I’m sorry😭 If you want something that might be a replacement you could look into crisis text lines. If you’re queer there’s the Trevor project. I’ve heard mixed things about them but like it’s certainly better than being alone. And there’s likely more others if you aren’t queer. And also even more phone lines if you’re fine with phone calls.

I just asked chat and it said that if I sent 10000 intense messages (I sent ~5k) it would equal a week of household electricity. That seems about right. Sure you have poors who still shit in their water, but what am I gonna do about it?

I think a warm line is their best bet. Hotlines will shoo you away unless you’re actively at risk of harming yourself
