The "this is a temporary state" approach really helped me.

When I called, I was a huge mess and had to call back from sobbing...next morning, "wow, looks nice out today."

Kind of clicked for me that it's more of an impulse thing, at least in some cases, and not "my life is and always will be terrible"

A few weeks ago I called a suicide hotline and talked with a very nice person, really spilled my guts about who I was and the upcoming events that might cause me to become suicidal again.

He gave me his name and number to call back if I needed and he really seemed to genuinely care.

Would it be appropriate to call back and ask for him to let him know that I'm doing alright, and that he really helped that night?
