    It does add up, but you need imaginary numbers, like eleventeen.

    I nominate Jamelia for this post in the relationships forum:
    I think when you have broken up with someone it's important to go back to your regular hangouts, to do all the stuff you used to do with them but with other people. That way the places don't come to have this terrible painful significance or make you sad - you just make new memories there that help to deal with the painful ones.

    Wise lady :)

    Heya :)

    OK well I've only rang the Samaritans once, the first time being only a couple of days ago. So I can only base what I say on that one experience :) I was really nervous but I went ahead anyway because I wanted to at least give it a try.

    I wasn't really expecting much, but I was really impressed with them. I first rang them and asked them to ring me back as I didn't have enough credit. I spoke to a lovely woman who gave me time to put on music so I wasn't heard, and she just reassured me and just basically asked me some guiding questions and I was able to get a lot out, and she listened.

    The best thing about them is that they don't tell you what to do. They might make some suggestions, but unlike other people I've talked to about various things, they will let you make your own decisions, and help you through whatever you choose. They're completely non-judgemental and I genuinely felt comfortable talking to this woman which surprised me.

    The conversation we had did have quite an effect on me, it helped me see options that I didn't really see before, and she really made me good when I needed it.

    One thing just to warn you, as for me it did come as a bit of a shock. They may ask you if you're suicidal.... just so if you are they can help you explore the issue further.

    Anyway, I really hope that if you still feel like calling them you can give it a go. Or contact them through another means like betsy suggested. They have quite a lot of info on their site, www.samaritans.org which may answer some of your questions.

    All the best
