Online help?
Is there any site online similiar to a suicide hotline? I am living overseas and can't call a suicide hotline. I am not doing well lately and have been considering suicide. Over a decade ago I was hospitalized twice for attempts and am afraid I will try again. My life has not been going well lately.

1. While I don't know of anything that similar to a suicide hotline online,
I'm pretty certain there are resources for various things - beyondblue springs to mind (That is an Aussie anti-depression initiative, and somewhat aimed at young people and diagnosis, unfortunately so I think it might not be very much help)

Apologies that I don't know more.

2. Here's a link for you that might be helpful
http://www.befrienders.org/

Looks like you can talk to someone there. Let me know if that works for you.

6. Try this site. It has a lot of information and places to talk online to others.

http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/

I hope you get help quickly. I understand how difficult life must be for you, but try to hang in there.

After I tried to commit suicide, I found it really helped me to talk to people on suicide message boards/news groups.
