TRY the HS Helpline!

This past week we have been commemorating the 75^th anniversary of the D Day Normandy landings on 6 June 1944.   Tomorrow we will be celebrating the anniversary of the foundation of the HS Helpline.  I’m afraid I m not sure of the exact year when this facility was set up.  But as a regular user I can thoroughly recommend it.

The HS Helpline offers various kinds of assistance: advocacy, friendly advice regarding changes in health and life-style, reassurance and inspiration, consolation in distress.  This service is free, and is available 24/7, all year round.

When you contact the Helpline you will NOT be asked to give your  

first name or surname
date or place of birth
marital status
present address, including postcode
nationality
ethnicity
sexual preferences
religious affiliation (or none)
financial status

(All these are already known.)

You will NOT be asked to prove that you are not a robot!

It is recommended that, before contacting the Helpline, you switch off devices such as mobile phone, iPad, computer, TV, radio etc. and find a comfortable seat in a quiet place.  (But this is not essential, as the Helpline can be reached however noisy the environment, and there is no need to worry about the availability of online reception.)

The HS Helpline password is THANK YOU.

You may be surprised to find that - despite needing to use the Helpline – you actually have many reasons to be thankful.  However, if you are in such mental distress that you find this password inappropriate and difficult to say, please consider any physical reason you might have for expressing thanks, e.g. good mobility, recovery from illness, or even something very basic, such as relief from constipation  - or the satisfaction of scratching an itch!  (This last one was what I myself resorted to many years ago when in terrible mental and spiritual distress …)

Having said the password (aloud or silently), now concentrate on your reason(s) for contacting the HS Helpline.  These may include: hurt, injustice, anger, loneliness, fear, illness, jealousy, despair, bereavement, weakness, alcoholism, drug dependency, confusion, constant worry, poverty, etc.

Then ask for help.

You may now confidently expect assistance.  This may take the form of: surprise help from unexpected sources, startling coincidences, sudden feeling of joy or peace (or both).  You may be silently advised and helped to re-think your life-style.

If necessary, repeat your application to the HS Helpline daily until you experience relief.  (Tip: To speed up the process it is recommended that you ‘google’ The Lord’s Prayer, then try to memorise the words.)

Recently, when waiting for a friend in Edinburgh Waverley station, I was delighted to see this advert for the HS Helpline.  Have you seen it?
