What happens when you text the
Crisis Text Line? Crisis Text Line: First, you're in crisis. That doesn't just
mean suicide: it's any painful emotion that's getting in your way, for which you
need support. Next, you text them at 741741. Your opening message can say
anything: "Hello," "Start," or a description of what you're feeling. The first
responses are automated. They tell you that you're being connected with a Crisis
Counselor, and invite you to share a bit more. When you've reached a Crisis
Counselor, they'll introduce themselves, reflect on what you've said, and ask
you to share at your own pace. You'll then text back and forth with the Crisis
Counselor. You never have to share anything you don't want to. The Crisis
Counselor will help you sort through your feelings by asking questions,
empathizing, and actively listening. Their service is completely free, but
messaging rates apply if you're NOT on Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, or T-Mobile. About
90% of the time, it takes less than five minutes to connect you with a Crisis
Counselor. It may take longer during busy times.
