What happens when I call The Worry Help Line
When  you phone, we will will not judge you or tell you what to do. We might ask you how you are feeling and invite you to talk about your feelings. We give you the time and space that you need to talk if you want to.

“The person at the other end of the phone gave time to me to speak to me and asked me gentle questions and waited for my response. It made me feel that I wasn’t the only one that was going through it, really, which helped me quite a lot. At the end of the phone call I did feel better- not better enough to be out of the crisis but better in that I felt better that I had spoken to somebody about it. I didn’t feel quite so isolated.”

“I really liked the way the woman dealt with my problems. She was very calm and did not judge. She seemed to understand and appeared generally interested and sympathetic with my state. I like the way you deal with things in a personal and anonymous way, as it is very difficult for me to talk about my ongoing depression, but I never feel pressured to do so or say anything I am not happy revealing.” Worry caller

Why do people call you?

People contact us for completely individual reasons. Commonly mentioned are relationships, work, money, stress and feeling alone.

“People suggested to me that I call The Worry Club if I felt desperate at night. I was feeling very upset,  I didn’t know what to do. So I just rang the Worry Club to see what they would say, to see if they could help me.” “At the end of that day everyone deals differently with their own problems. Everybody’s different.”

Why don’t people talk to friends and family instead?
Some people do not have the support of friends or family. Others do but find that talking to someone neutral can be beneficial.

“I found talking things through very helpful, especially at a time when I had exhausted the ears of friends and family. It was helpful to have someone calm and neutral and there at all times of the day. The troubles and crises you find yourself in, all seem to overwhelm you at a time when a friend or relative would find it inconvenient. Also, sometimes feelings that overwhelm you and seem insurmountable at night, often seem far more cope-able in the morning. For that reason, talking to The Worry Help Line  is very helpful because they don’t continue the problem over the time phase that you need, as a friend might.”

How do people feel after they have called
“It was helpful, every time I spoke to anybody it helped relieve tension and frustration.”

“By my phone call I gained a lot more confidence to be able to lift my head up and try to carry on with life for the sake of my children.”

“I think calling The Worry Help Line gave me the confidence in me. The fact that somebody understood, did not criticize, did not palm me off, did not judge or advise- I mean they never really advised me to do anything in particular, but gave me back my confidence in me as a person. And that gave me the confidence to go on.”
