which work. i am carefully putting only those helplines which genuinely work here, since i dont want to direct a probably distressed person to a helpline which doesnt even work.

how do i know they work?

i vet them myself.

and yet, if you find a helpline which does not work, just shoot me an email at [email protected], and i shall look into it asap.

in case you are wondering whether to call these helplines or not, i would like to share my experience for the same. i used to call roshni once every 6 months due to a serious suicide attempt i was going to make. they always were very patient, listened to me kindly and helped me through some major life crises i wouldnt have been able to make it without them. if they were still working today, their number would be at the top, but i guess times change. i am listing other helplines down below, in the hopes that they shall help you as they helped me.
