Crisis Helplines
While You Wait for Help
-
These small steps can make the moment safer:
-
5-4-3-2-1 grounding → Name 5 things you see, 4 you feel, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste.
-
Breathe → Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 6. Repeat 5 times.
-
Delay the urge → Promise yourself: “I will wait 10 minutes before acting.” (Repeat this; urges pass like waves.)
-
Write it out → Note your thoughts and remind yourself: “Thoughts are not facts. I can get through this.”
-
Call a trusted family member or friend and let them know you’re not feeling safe.
-
Share with someone: “I’m having thoughts of hurting myself and I need support.”
-
If possible, avoid being alone until the intense feelings pass.
