Mental Health Help
While I love helping people learn new skills, help them improve their lives, and give suggestions on certain topics, I can only speak from what I have learned through first-hand experience. I have no formal training in anything! Do not take anything I say as a replacement for seeing a licensed professional, that goes for everything from mental health to skincare. I AM NOT A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL!
Below is a list of resources for crisis situations and other support. If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number (911 US/CA, 999 UK, etc.)
I am not affiliated with these websites or organizations in any way. I have used some of these resources myself and people close to me have used others, however, I can not vouch for every single one.
IF YOU ARE IN CRISIS, DO NOT HESITATE TO REACH OUT FOR HELP!
