I will not be calling any strange number until I've found a way to make truly anonymous phone calls (e.g. something in the realm of RedPhone + onion routing like Tor).

They also have chat: http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/GetHelp/LifelineCha...

But it's limited to US IPs. Using Tor browser, you can specify US exits. See https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/4732/google-play-sto... You put the configuration options in ./Data/Tor/torrc-defaults. See https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/1065/what-happened-t...

Post limit hit. New account, it is! (Also, Tor :D)

I've actually already read this before, years ago when I was at my worst.

Isn't it weird to care about that at a time like this?

It's fairly reasonable to care about privacy when it comes to sensitive topics like this. Maybe the OP isn't ready for people to know his identity yet.
