step 1
Reach Out for Immediate Help
If you’re in crisis, it’s essential to seek help immediately. Contact a crisis hotline, a mental health professional, or a trusted friend or family member who can provide support. Don’t hesitate to reach out to someone you trust.
step 2
Stay Calm and Safe
While waiting for help to arrive or while on the phone with a crisis counselor, focus on staying as calm and safe as possible. Try deep breathing exercises or grounding techniques to manage your emotions and keep yourself out of harm’s way.
step 3
Express Your Feelings
Sharing your feelings and thoughts with someone you trust can be therapeutic. If you’re comfortable, talk openly about what you’re experiencing. Remember that you’re not alone, and there are people who care about your well-being and want to help.
