I just wanted to thank you and everyone at 1333. I've called a few times about the problems I've been having, and your team encouraged me to go to the hospital which I did. I'm feeling much better now, and I really appreciate everything you've done for me.

I'm a regular caller to 1333, and I just wanted to call and thank you all. I'm keeping very well now. God bless 1333. Whenever I was in so much distress, I was able to call you, and you listened to me every time and supported me.
Anonymous Caller
Matara District
I'm calling from Matara. Twelve years ago, in 2013, my son who was only ten years old at the time gave me this number. He begged me not to suicide, and told me to call instead. Because of 1333, I'm perfectly okay today. I wanted to thank 1333 for saving my life.

Colombo District
I was in so much mental distress, and I even had blood coming from my nose. I felt like giving up on life, but I decided to call 1333. The person I spoke to understood me and helped me find a way through it. After that conversation, I felt a bit lighter, less pressured.

A few weeks ago, my girlfriend ended our relationship, and I felt overwhelmed and began having suicidal thoughts. I searched online and found 1333. They listened, supported me, and encouraged me to go to the hospital, staying on the phone while I did. I received treatment and feel much better today. Thank you, 1333.

Private University Student
I'm in my final year at university and recently discovered that a close friend had taken explicit photos of me without my knowledge. I felt ashamed, alone, and overwhelmed. I called 1333, and the woman who answered listened, understood, and guided me toward my options and available support. I realized I wasn't alone. Thank you, 1333.

Mother of two daughters
I'm a mother of two daughters whom I raised alone. When I learned my elder daughter was in a relationship, I became angry and worried about her future. I called 1333, where someone listened without judging me and helped me think things through. I spoke with my daughters and her partner, and realized I could support her choices.
