    In The Sims 4, the sims can call this service number if they’re feeling really sad and want to talk to someone about how sad they are.

    I wish we had that kind of a service here for real.

        Well, I guess we have several hotlines for major mental health crises. I’ve not found one that’s specifically for sadness. Which is a shame because often the road to major mental health crises is paved with a lot of minor ones.

          Look up what’s called a warmline in your local area. I know Minnesota has one, not sure about other states. It’s specifically not for crises, it’s just to talk through problems when you don’t have access to a therapist (or think your problem is too small to warrant a therapist).
