If you need help now
If you are thinking about harming yourself or do not feel safe, please do not write here and wait. The crisis support page lists free confidential helplines that answer straight away, including 988 in the US and Canada, 116 123 for Samaritans in the UK and Ireland, and findahelpline.com for everywhere else.
Messages sent here are read by a person, not a clinician, and replies can take several days. That is fine for a broken link and completely wrong for a bad night.
This inbox cannot help in a crisis. A helpline can, immediately.
