What happens when I
call The Worry Help Line
When you phone, we will will not judge you or tell
you what to do. We might ask you how you are feeling and
invite you to talk about your feelings. We give you the time
and space that you need to talk if you want to.
“The person at the
other end of the phone gave time to me to speak to me and
asked me gentle questions and waited for my response. It
made me feel that I wasn’t the only one that was going
through it, really, which helped me quite a lot. At the end
of the phone call I did feel better- not better enough to be
out of the crisis but better in that I felt better that I
had spoken to somebody about it. I didn’t feel quite so
isolated.”
“I really liked the way the woman dealt with my problems.
She was very calm and did not judge. She seemed to
understand and appeared generally interested and sympathetic
with my state. I like the way you deal with things in a
personal and anonymous way, as it is very difficult for me
to talk about my ongoing depression, but I never feel
pressured to do so or say anything I am not happy
revealing.” Worry caller
Why do people call
you?
People contact us for
completely individual reasons. Commonly mentioned are
relationships, work, money, stress and feeling alone.
“It is like a sort of safety blanket to me, as I know
that I can always talk to someone who is not connected to
anything and will not pre-judge me or the situation I am in.
The time I contacted The Worry Club was when I had all my
family around me, was in a loving environment and was
completely ’safe’. However, sometimes this can be the most
lonely time. I am just so glad my mother gave me the
1-866-worry4u number; otherwise I don’t know what would have
happened.”
“People suggested to me that I call The Worry Club if
I felt desperate at night. I was feeling very upset, I
didn’t know what to do. So I just rang the Worry Club to see
what they would say, to see if they could help me.” “At the
end of that day everyone deals differently with their own
problems. Everybody’s different.”
Why don’t people
talk to friends and family instead?
Some people do not have the support of friends or family.
Others do but find that talking to someone neutral can be
beneficial.
“It can be quite frightening when you’re very
emotionally lonely and you can’t sleep and you can’t call
anyone because you don’t want to disturb people and worry
them. If you called your friends at 3am in the morning, you
would worry them and you might annoy them a bit. I don’t
think I could cope with that either. And sometimes fiends
and family can’t be neutral because they’re very involved
with you and when you’ve been ill so long, they may lose
patience. It’s good to be able to talk to someone who’s kind
of neutral and not caught up in it all.”
“I found talking things through very helpful,
especially at a time when I had exhausted the ears of
friends and family. It was helpful to have someone calm and
neutral and there at all times of the day. The troubles and
crises you find yourself in, all seem to overwhelm you at a
time when a friend or relative would find it inconvenient.
Also, sometimes feelings that overwhelm you and seem
insurmountable at night, often seem far more cope-able in
the morning. For that reason, talking to The Worry Help
Line is very helpful because they don’t continue the
problem over the time phase that you need, as a friend
might.”
How do people feel
after they have called
“It was helpful, every time I spoke to anybody
it helped relieve tension and frustration.”
“By my phone call I gained a lot more confidence to be able
to lift my head up and try to carry on with life for the
sake of my children.”
“I think calling The Worry Help Line gave me the
confidence in me. The fact that somebody understood, did not
criticize, did not palm me off, did not judge or advise- I
mean they never really advised me to do anything in
particular, but gave me back my confidence in me as a
person. And that gave me the confidence to go on.”
I am thinking of
calling. Should I?
If you think you might benefit from confidential
emotional support then we are here for you. We will not
judge you if you call. We understand that sometimes it can
feel difficult to pick up the telephone. But once you dial
1-866-worry4u you will begin to feel relief as you have
taken the first step in making your life better
“I would tell anyone to call The Worry Help
Line because they’ve always helped me and you haven’t got
anything to lose. If they don’t help you, it’s just a phone
call, you don’t have to tell anyone that you’ve called them
and it’s all anonymous. It’s worth a try. Even if you aren’t
on the point of depression, you can still be going through
immense pain and distress- almost unbearable - and the worry
help line staff are fantastic at easing your pain.”
“It’s a step on the road to wherever you want to go. I
was feeling very depressed and very lonely, my life was just
going round and round in a circle. By phoning 1-866-worry4u
it was the first step on the way forward.”

Are you for real?
Yes...we are real people...we checked. We actually met in a
group for worriers. As worriers, we worried that the group
leader really wasn't in tune with worrying. He was 45 and
looked 45. We are in our 30's and look 50, so we figured his
life was not as hard as ours, and took it upon ourselves to
study, observe and become experts in the profession of
worrying. Don't worry, we succeeded. Check us out on
The Worry
Professional page.
What Happens when we call The Worry Hot Line
When
you call, you will speak directly with a worry professional.
And with most likely it will be our number one Chief
Worrier, Bonnie! We will listen to you, nod our head
(believe us, we will) and provide conversation and feedback.
We will use humor as well and promise that you feel tons
better after speaking with us. We are not going to tell you
what to do, you need to make that choice, but we will help
you take the correct steps in figuring out how to best
handle the worry or stress. Sometimes, we may even provide
you with a resource number to call. This will occur if we
feel that you could really use assistance with a
professional in your area. Sometime, you do need that kind
of assistance and we can help you find it.
What is the purpose of The Worry Club?
Well...it sure ain't to make a buck
:-) We are here to help you deal with worry. We found that
humor has worked best for us...and not one of the Team is on
any mood enhancer medication...though I believe our Worry
Club President should be, but don't tell her that.
Will you really worry for us?
For sure! What's a few more worries to us
professionals. We live just to worry, and we do it well. And
if we can take some of that worry stress away from you,
better for us. Worry makes you weak, yet it makes us strong.
Go figure. So, when your friends ask "aren't you
worried?"...you can tell them you have professionals who do
that for you. Then smile and walk away. How easy is that!
Is The Worry Club your full-time job?
Yes and No. But we are like you,
some of us have professional day
jobs as well as this job. One thing for sure, we like our
Worry Club jobs the best. But because we are worriers, we tend to sleep very
little and would rather help you. So, we multi-task. Just like Clark Kent.. who
by day was a mild manner reporter, but when trouble
comes, he secretly becomes Superman. So, think of us as the
Supermen of Worriers.
So,
you really offer
Worry Club Products beside just the Worry Club Hot Line?
Of course we do. Just because you have worry,
stress or anxiety doesn't mean you can not have fun with it.

hats to cover up bad hair days, mugs and so much more. Be
