An example exchange between a texter and a volunteer Crisis Counselor.

CounselorIt’s understandable to feel that way when it’s so hard to see past your depression. Would you be interested in coming up with ways to manage the racing bothersome thoughts?

TexterIt really helps to talk about it, and I guess just figure out how to stop thinking so negatively.

CounselorIt sounds like you’ve been carrying your depression for a while, I imagine it’s heavy.

TexterWell my anxiety and depression has ruined a lot of friendships and relationships. I feel like I always end up alone and it’s scary.

CounselorHey there. It looks like you’re going through a rough patch tonight. Can you tell me a bit about why you’re texting Crisis Text Line? I’m here to listen and help as best I can.

TexterI just need someone to talk to.
