If you’re not safe right now, please reach out immediately.

Awkward Mind is not an emergency service and can’t respond round the clock. These services can. They’re free, and talking to them is okay.

While you wait

If you can, stay near someone you trust or tell them how you’re feeling. Move away from anything you could use to hurt yourself. Breathe in slowly for four counts, hold for four, out for four. You don’t have to get through this alone.

When things feel steadier, you’re welcome to book a session to talk about what happened.
