If you know other hotlines that provide support that are not on this list, feel free to contact a BlogTeam member to add it to this list.

Regarding replies that mention or are about religion: Generally, religion should be avoided when replying to other people to give them hugs, such as stating that you will be praying for them. However, exceptions will be made if the person asking for hugs is asking for prayers from people who practice the same religion as them or if they are open about what religion they practice. Otherwise, people who do not practice the same religion or do not practice any religion should steer clear of providing religion-related comfort if they don’t know if another BlogClanner practices a specific religion.

A note from BlogTeam: From now on, we will no longer moderate comments on the Hug Page that go into specific detail about events. Instead, commenters will post in a vague manner, such as “I’m having a bad day, I could really use some hugs”, and other BlogClanners are welcome to provide comfort and support. This change is not because of any specific event or person, but because it is extremely difficult to mitigate questionable comments and determine what parts of certain comments are suitable to moderate, as well as making sure that replies with advice are in no way harmful to the original poster or others. If you ever feel like you need advice about a serious situation, you are welcome to reach out to BlogTeam, because your health and safety is our top priority. However, no one on BlogTeam is or has ever been a mental health professional in any way, and all we can do is provide advice. We implore you to always reach out to a trusted adult or hotline (listed above) about a situation that worries you. You are still welcome to come to the Hug Page if you need any hugs or comfort from your BlogClan peers, but the cause of your distress can no longer be explained——no matter the situation. Thank you so much for understanding <3

  • This isn’t really a huge problem, but I’m sick and I’m probably going to go to school tomorrow anyways. I would stay at home, but tomorrow I have important assignments at school to do, and I really don’t want to miss them 🙁

  • My dad was in a car accident at about 6:00 PM today. Everyone is okay, albeit a few bumps and scrapes. Someone turned suddenly, so the person in front of him stopped and my dad didn’t realise until it was too late to stop, and he rear-ended the guy. The guy’s car is okay, just a few scratches and the license plate fell off. Our car, however, is another story. 😛

    The hood folded over on itself, and they had to use the jaws of life to open it. The radiator is bent and one headlight cover fell off. Some of the light wires broke, and the car was leaking something. (Antifreeze? Gas? Nobody really knew.) So needless to say, we think our little Pontiac is done for. 😛

    Everybody is fine (Except the car 😛 ), but I just felt the need to say something. That’s why BlogClan is great – We can always say something when we need to. 🙂

    • *hugs* When you feel like that, take deep breathes, and you could try counting from 1-10. You could also listen to music, read, and exercise. I hope this helps! <3 <3 <3

    • It depends on what the cause is, but the best thing to do now is take deep breaths, talk to a loved one, or do something that makes you happy. Read, write, draw, talk, anything that makes you smile is the best cure to sandess or anger. Feel better soon *huggles*

    • *huggles* It’s a bit hard to help without knowing the details. If you want to talk, I’m always here. ^^ Of course, it’s totally fine if you don’t and I won’t push. Try listening to some soothing music. Something slow and soft maybe. Try doing something to get your mind off the situation. Draw, write stories, write poetry, sing, etc. If all else fails and you need a way to get rid of anger, try just taking a pen and scribbling all over some paper. Find a way you can release all your pent up anger. Remember, it gets better. *hugs*

  • I’m going to post another comment above my last one, yay. I had a old Spanish tutor, let’s call him Sandfur. Sandfur is was always sweet and kind to me, very helpful and understanding. He treated people like equals. He laughs when you’re happy and coforts you if you’re sad or worried. He was also playful and would play games with you if you were stressed out. But . . . he got another job . . . and now I won’t see him anymore. I will miss him so, so much. I will never forget our time together.

    One other thing: My ear hurts so much.

    Reply

      • Thank you! And yeah, well, he has a girlfriend now, and a few other jobs as well, yet he doesn’t make enough money to put him in a well place. That’s a good reason, but I still miss him.

        Reply

    • Oh no! Having someone move away is never a good experience, but try to remember the fun you’ve had together! And if your ear is hurting bad, maybe you should tell your parents or go to a doctor. Feel better soon! *huggles*

      Reply

    • I’m really sorry! Is there a way you guys can still talk? And hey, maybe your new Spanish tutor will be cool too 🙂 *huggles*

      Reply

      • Thank you! And yeah, we can text, but I feel like texting him every day or other would be a little extreme. I just wasn’t expecting him to leave. <3

        Reply

    • Aw, Snowy. I know it hurts when someone leaves you. *huggles* Cherish the time you guys spent together, but don’t be afraid to find new people you can care about. Don’t dwell on it too much. Who knows, maybe your new Spanish tutor will be amazing, or he gets another new job and it’s close to you. <3

      Have you gone to the doctor yet? Try to do so. Feel better soon! *hugs* <3

    • *hugs* When you feel nervous/panicked, read, take deep breathes, count from 1-10, you could go for a run/exercise, and you could listen to some calming music. I hope this helps. <3 <3 <3 <3

    • Study, and don’t stress out about it. Deep breaths, you got this. It’ll be so much easier if you’re focused instead of freaking out. I’m sure you’ll do amazing! But be calm about it. *hugs* Good luck!

    • stuff like that always seems stressful. Just review and brush up on what you think’s important to the topic, and maybe get some help from a parent or teacher. Good luck! *huggles*

  • I just feel so hopeless and confused and scared, and so tired of everything. I cry whenever I think about my friends and how much I miss them. I wish I could live by Shinepaw and Ashpaw! And Whitepaw and Moonwing too… And everyone else. I feel selfish for wanting to see them so badly, but at the same time I feel like it’s fair. Everything is like this. My head just won’t stop fighting, while I’m beneath, hardly even clawing anymore to live. I just wish I could tell people without it being awkward. I feel so selfish for wishing it was like any sickness where people pat your hand and tell you it’s gonna be better soon. I feel selfish for everything. For even thinking maybe I really need help. I hate this! I hate this!

    Reply

    • *hugs* Try talking to your parents, they can help you. Therapy might help too. I hope everything gets better soon. <3 <3 <3 <3

    • You’re not selfish. You do need help, please get it. It will be okay, if you get help. Maybe you should try and make some new friends that live closer to you while also keeping in touch with Shinepaw, Ashpaw, Whitepaw, and Moonwing too. *huggles* It’s not fair to yourself to just try and stick it out and bottle it all up.

    • PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON’T FEEL SELFISH! You’re not selfish at ALL! You’re just being human! Sorry that was strong, and please don’t take it as a reason to feel bad for thinking that you were selfish! (and don’t feel bad now for feeling selfish, because that’s okay too…. you think that YOU’RE the problem, and that you’re making too big of a deal….. but that’s the farthest from the truth! I feel like that when I make a big deal out of something that I think shouldn’t actually BE a big deal. But it’s okay…. because it’s a big deal to YOU) Don’t feel bad about feeling selfish…. or feel awkward about talking about it….. we’re here no matter what… and we won’t judge you, we will only try to help you through it 🙂 Losing a friend is not something you should blame yourself for feeling bad about…. and caring that deeply about it shows how good of a friend you were, and that you genuinely care, and that says a lot about your character, that you are loyal and human. In a situation like this, you will feel bad, you probably will feel selfish, and you might even feel like it’s your fault, or that you won’t get new friends or ever see them again. It’s okay for thinking like that…. it’s the most understandable thing in the world! But don’t give up hope, or feel that all is lost, because it’s not! You can make new friends, and probably stay in contact with new ones – that last one will probably help a lot. This advice is most likely hard to take, especially if the loss is fairly recent, but just remember that it’s okay, and that we’re here for you. I’m sorry if I’m too strong, or if I sound bossy or if you feel I’m overreacting or anything like that. I don’t think I am…… I just want you to know…. you’re not alone! I’m here! and it’s okay to make a big deal….. do it all you want, because those friends are important to YOU! and so is the issue! Don’t drown in confusion, but fight back and find clarity through the help of us and others. Therapy could really help, even if you may feel stupid doing it! Don’t bottle it all up (I know from experience that hurts more than helps) and be don’t be unfair to yourself, and don’t feel selfish for thinking you need help, because if you think that you do, then you do. Getting help will get you through this. No person can hold themselves up with a broken leg (or broken heart) without the assistance of others, whether it be through a crutch, a friend, or a cast. Without help, you can never truly heal. It’s okay to wish that it’s like a sickness, where people can pat your hand and tell you it’s gonna be better soon. Everyone wishes that. But remember that that doesn’t always helps the sickness itself, it just helps you endure it. And I hope this will be the same, that it may not solve anything, but at the same time, aid in the resolving process. The only way you get better from being sick, is if you admit it first. Then accept help, then try to heal. But you can’t do it on your own, and nobody can. and now don’t feel stupid for NOT accepting help. Because everyone needs to realize how truly they need it before they can ask for it.
      It’s not awkard, it’s smart! I truly hope this helped…. and that you feel better 🙂

      *EXTRA HUGS*

Like, instead of showing up with Your comment is awaiting moderation and Click to Edit (time) did the comment just not show up, as if you hadn’t typed it at all? If so, it’s been dropped in the Spam because the Spam Monster likes stealing comments to feed itself.

        • well, it said that my comment was awaiting moderation, and had the edit time…. but then I checked back a little bit later and it wasn’t there at all….
          so maybe the spam monster wanted to toy with its prey before he ate it…….. so diabolical
          anyway, it’s okay because I have almost exactly the same long giant rant as before (I didn’t even realize how long it was until I posted it… I feel like I was very repetitive…. but I guess that’s okay)
          anyway thanks for the explanation…

  • Today is the worst birthday ever! Our car broke down this morning, I come to school crying and now my friend is ignoring me…. 🙁

    I have to sit with my cousin every morning because shes in pre-school, and she somehow managed to get her finger stuck in the seatbelt. She was wailing and crying and it made me panic and cry seeing her in pain and so scared… the school people or whatever took her to the clinic down the road…but….ugh!

    Reply

    • *Huggles* I’m really sorry about your car, friend and cousin. Cars seem to break down at the worst times. If I may ask, why is your friend ignoring you?
      It isn’t your fault that that you panicked. I would panic too.
      I hope your birthday gets better, Lily. <3

    • I’m sorry that your birthday was so bad *hugs*. It’s horrible when something stressful happens and no one supports you (or ignores you all together). I hope your sister’s okay…. I would’ve totally panicked too, if that happened to me, no doubt about it. I know it feels like you were so silly to do that, but it’s a natural reaction 🙂 lots of us do it, and we learn from it afterwards 🙂
      I hope everything smooths out, and you still have a great birthday! Despite all the problems, just remember, that WE’RE right here, celebrating with you 🙂 *hugs*

  • My granny just told me that her mother, my grandgrandmother, is in bad condition. She has no major sicknesses, but she’s getting old (she’s 92 years old). My granny said that when she speaks, it sounds like she’s “talking from her grave” and we should be prepared for bad news, but it’s possible that she can live a few years. That’s my only hope. She isn’t in a hospital because she’s not sick, she’s weak. She lives in a nursing home, but we can’t visit her because there’s many sick people and “danger of infection”. Christmas was the last time I saw her. Aahhh I just don’t want to lose any more relatives!! Last summer I was in a funeral for the first time and it was horrible…

    Reply

    • I’m really sorry. Unfortunately, death is a part of life and she’s lived quite a long one. A lot of people have never met their great-grandmothers (including me), but I know that probably wasn’t helpful, I just wanted to get that out there. Can you video chat with her or call her or something? *huggles* I hope she’s okay.

      Reply

      • We can’t video chat her because she of course doesn’t understand technology and the nurses aren’t very helpfull… My granny calls her evrey day so I know what’s going on. I can’t call because she doesn’t remember me well anymore (I can’t blame her, she has so many grandchildren) and she’d get confused. So yeah, there’s nothing I can do, just wait.

        Reply

        • So? It’s not too late to build a relationship with her. Even if she doesn’t know you very well, she’ll probably be honored and heartwarmed to know you care enough to call her.

          Reply

    • I’m really sorry. It’s always tough loosing someone…. and then having to deal with something almost as hard right after 🙁 *Huggles* I also hope that she can live a few more years…… and I guess the worst part is that you can’t even visit her! Like Wavey (I can call you that, right?) said, maybe you could call or facetime or something……. I hope you find a way around it. I’m right here for you, and so is blogclan! *extra huggles*

    • I’m so sorry. I hope she holds out. And she and you are both lucky to have met one another. 🙂
      My great grandmother doesn’t know who I am, I don’t think. She’s in a nursing home because she has Alzheimer’s, and she might die soon. I helped move stuff out of her house in Tennessee, and I saw her a few times. But she couldn’t really understand us. I think she recognized my mom, though, it would be nice to have talked to her,

  • I think I’m having a panic attack. My friend online just told me they were going to kill themself. I begged them and they said maybe… I’m so scared. I didn’t do enough. I didn’t help them enough when they needed it. I failed them. I can hardly talk because my voice is cracking and breaking and shaking so much. My was shaking a minute ago. I’m breathing about twice as fast than normal and my insides feel weird. I’m crying… I’m so scared for them.

    Reply

    • That’s horrible! Try and list all they have to live for and talk about it with adults. And of course you helped them enough, I know everyone on Blogclan has a pure heart and I also suggest to get a real hug but for now an online one. *huggles*😖

    • Okay. Calm down. They can’t afford for you to panic. Really tell them how much they mean to you, and remind them of all the happy things in their life.

    • *hugs* Take deep breathes, Daisypaw. I don’t have any advice, since this is an online friend. I hope he/she doesn’t kill themself.

      • Thanks. They’re alive, in the hospital. Their friend stopped them. I am talking to their friend, and their boyfriend, right now. I feel so guilty that I couldn’t stop them. Their boyfriend blames me because I told them I feel guilty because my help wasn’t enough… They’re just upset, their friend says. I still feel like it’s my fault.

          • Yesterday they told me they didn’t care about us. If my close friend who I’ve talked out of killing themselves before can just turn their back and say they dont care and still expect me to stand by them, who would care what I’ve done for them? It’s pointless trying to help them when no one cares what I do.

    • *huggles* Okay, first you need to do something to help yourself calm down. My friend has some advice on panic attacks, since he’s had them before. Something he suggests is chocolate. He says there’s a chemical in it that makes you feel happier. Take deep breaths with your hand on your stomach. If you have other methods to calm yourself down, do so. Listening to a soft, gentle music is soothing as well. Try to think of happy things.

      If your friend is is thinking of killing themself, tell an adult now. I know it doesn’t sound like a good idea, but an adult needs to intervene. Their parents or a school guidance counselor could possibly be of help. Also, I suggest they get in contact with a suicide hotline. Make sure they know how much you love them. <3 <3 <3

    • I’m so sorry! That is horrible! Try not to panic…. and I know that will be the hardest of all (I would in your position as well), but you have to try to be strong now. You did what you thought you could, and that may not feel like enough, but you’ve still got a chance, and you’ve got to keep trying! (this is my best shot at this, I don’t know if it will work but you can try) Go to her (or him) right now and tell them how good of a person they are, how much they matter to you, then tell them everything that you can think of that you like about them, and tell them how much they matter. Tell them how you felt when they told you, how you started to panic because you didn’t want to leave them. Tell them how they are loved and how they matter to the world around them. Tell them to stay strong and work through it because if they can survive and fight back, they will be so much stronger, so much more ready for whatever lies ahead because they could overcome that. Overall tell them how they matter, how important they are to you, and what you like about them. Reassure them in their time of doubt. none of this is your fault, and you can still try and help them. I hope it goes okay…. that situation sounds very scary. I’m sorry. We’re here to help best we can. Mintkit’s right, try not to panic. be strong because that may be what they need. Someone who is certain about how much they matter. Tell this to an adult and see if they can help. You tried your best, and it would be so hard to think in a situation like that. I’m sure you helped a lot, and you just don’t know it
      *HUGS* 😖

    • I’d like to say this – I suffer from mental depression and I’m really annoyed with your internet friend.
      Sometimes people pretend to act like they’re going to commit suicide, I hope your friend isn’t. I know I’m putting a darker perspective on this – but I would seriously recommend being wary if you don’t know them (if you do know them irl, ignore this)
      Try reminding them about good things. Begging generally doesn’t help. Just ask them to consider it a while. If they have a little sanity to hold on, like me, they might (note that) not do it.
      As for yourself, calm down. Think about this – if you’re scared, how’re you going to help someone? They’ll feel your emotions and be doubly affected. At least pretend to be calm, it helps.
      I’m sorry for being short-tempered – blame essays and late night.

      • Actually, I’m angry with them too. Mostly scared for them and sad, but also angry. And when I wrote that, they had already gone offline. They aren’t pretending, though. Their irl friend just logged into their account and told us that she’s in the hospital. I’m glad she’s alive. I’m trying to talk to someone else who is their friend, and my friend.

    • Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry! I don’t know what to say, I hope everything’s alright. Try talking to her, remind her of the things that you love about her and your friendship.
