is there anything wrong with ringing the samaritans a lot

i often ring the samaritans for someone to talk to, as i live alone and struggle with loneliness....i have no support system now except for my elderly parents who live far....i've lived in this flat 20 years now, i've had a hard adult life and it has been a very rough, lonely road.

when i ring the samaritans i just tell them about my circumstances and just getting my thoughts out....but if you ring too much, they bar you from ringing for over 6 months, which i think is unfair...because if you have a small support system who live far and live alone, who are you supposed to turn to?

No, and I have. Even rung 911 when I shouldn't (not for what you think), but there's a time to come together in yourself, and a time, that says maybe I need more help in being me?
