If you are in immediate danger
Please contact your local emergency services now. In most countries this is 999, 112, or 911.
Support is always here
You deserve real support from a person.
What you are experiencing can be serious. You are not being dramatic. What has stopped, has stopped. That is real.
Below are services that can listen and help. Please reach out. You do not have to explain everything before someone will talk to you.
The stories and education on this platform remain open. Sometimes reading that someone else survived the same closure is what reaches a person.
