I’ve seen the suicide hotlines. Are there less dire (but still needed) hotlines??

I live in the US and 741-741 is a decent text line
imalive.org is a great chat line, but it’s always busy nowadays.
Apparently, I’d have to be referred out from this crisis line. I have Medicare. I don’t know if the referrals are good ones or not

I like the Norwegian one, I think it’s sponsored by Kirkens Nødhjelp.
It’s not open during the night, and sometimes you have to wait a bit to be connected to a volunteer.
But they’re always friendly and empathetic.
I tried an English based one, but I almost had a meltdown over how frustrating it was.
They kept just repeating back to me what I’d just told them, and when I asked if they could maybe have an actual conversation with me instead, they were just like “sorry this is how we’re trained to do it”.
