I find that telephone services like Samaritans and ChildLine tend to be extremely understanding of people who aren't quite sure what to say, so even if you just say "Hi", they will be patient and help you to start talking. I like the suggestion above about starting with a statement like "I'm going through a hard time right now", then the person on the other end of the line will understand that it might be difficult for you to talk about.
I hope it goes well!
just adding on to what others say - remember they are only wanting to help - and not going to judge you no matter what you say.
Just want to echo what others have already said here, The Samaritans are there to help, the Samaritans also have a text service,
You can text them, the number is 07725909090
