List of International Suicide Hotlines


. . . . . . . . . .
Holland
. . .
- 09000767

If your country is not listed here or if the hotline is incorrect, please post on the thread so I can edit it!


This is not a suicide hotline per se. This is actually a much broader hotline from an organization named sensoor. Can call them for whatever would be troubling you.

The actual Dutch suicide hotline would be 09000113. They also have a website for if you'd prefer to chat rather than call, or are merely looking for further information (www.113.nl). Alternatively, people in the Netherlands can also direct themselves to their GP (Dutch: huisarts) or their on-call GP center during off-hours (Dutch: huisartsenpost).

Thank you so much for notifying me! I'll edit that in!

How's it going, Suzukaori?

First of all, let me just say, I love your name! It sounds Japanese and I absolutely love their culture!

Thank you so much for sharing with us! There's nothing wrong with seeing a counsellor or psychologist. Even my psychology tutor once recommended me to see a psychologist regarding a situation which scared me quite a bit, but I knew it wasn't anything major, it's just that a psychologist might help me understand my situation better.


Thanks for your reply! My character's name comes from the two kanji I used in the traditional spelling of my cat's name, "Suzuka" (which was unfortunately already taken of course, lol).

I'm really not active on the forums much but knowing there are people out there who care such as yourself makes me want to come back and interact more in the future. Admittedly after reading your reply, it caused me to reflect on those negative things that people said, and my lack of confidence that made me back out of getting help. I'll for sure be going to my GP with a strong will to get a referral. ^_^

If you are still interested in this, I uploaded my video about the stigma around mental-health in the context of both RuneScape and real life.

It's called "RuneScape and Mental Health – Breaking the Stigma".

Thanks for the support, Katy! Yeah, slightly dissappointed with the lack of response on the thread. I was so keen on hearing from the representatives! I'll try and update this thread on a daily basis with more information on Mental Disorders. Luckily, I've got a lecture next week about Psychological Disorders. But exam period is coming soon as well as assignment crunch time, so I can't invest too much time to RS.

I'm glad to hear it! If you ever need help with the Forums, don't be shy to ask us!

Oh my goodness, you are a champion! I'll see if I can repost this to my Twitter and tag the Jmods! That's so awesome that you've done that, July!

Edit: Are you currently studying Psych? I notice your RS videos revolve around psychology topics.
