If You’re Struggling With Harmful Thoughts or Behaviors
If you’re experiencing thoughts or actions that feel frightening, out of control, or inconsistent with your values:
- You are not alone.
- Having thoughts does not mean you will act on them.
- Seeking help is a responsible and protective step.
Talking to a trained crisis counselor can help you slow things down, reduce immediate risk, and figure out next steps, and they are trained to avoid judgment.
