You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

Whether you feel like you’re slipping under, tangled in eating disorder thoughts, or quietly carrying the weight of suicidal pain there are people who want to hold that moment with you.

Support doesn’t always mean fixing. Sometimes it’s someone answering the call, staying with you, and gently reminding you that even this moment can soften.

Below is a list of crisis services chosen with care. If it feels like too much to reach out right now, maybe just keep the number nearby. That, in itself, is a brave beginning.
