What to do right now, tonight
You don't have to fix everything — just get through the next hour.
- Reach out to one person you trust — a friend, family member, or one of the helplines above. You don't have to explain it perfectly.
- If you can, put distance between yourself and anything you might use to harm yourself. Ask someone to hold on to it for now.
- Focus only on getting through the next hour. Have some water, step into a different room, or stay on the line with a helpline.
- If you feel you might act on these thoughts, go to the nearest emergency room or call 112 for emergency services.
If someone else is in crisis
- Stay with them, or stay on the call. Your presence matters more than having the right words.
- Listen without judgment. Let them speak, and take what they say seriously.
- Help them call one of the lines above, or dial 112 together if they're in immediate danger.
When the immediate danger has passed
For ongoing, non-emergency support, Mindtalk can help you understand how you're feeling and connect with care. This is not a substitute for the crisis lines above — please call one of them first if you're in crisis.
