You are not alone
When you feel like you cannot do this anymore
You matter. If part of you is thinking about ending your life, please reach out right now, before you do anything else. This moment can pass. Please stay.
If you are thinking about ending your life, or you are in danger right now, please reach out this moment. You matter.
- In the US, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
- Text HOME to 741741, the Crisis Text Line.
- If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
- If you are outside the US, contact your local emergency number or a local crisis line.
You do not have to carry this alone, and you do not have to decide anything about faith to reach out for help.
If you feel like you cannot do this anymore, please stay. You are not alone, and help is here right now. You do not have to have the words, and you do not have to carry this by yourself. Reaching out is not weakness. It is the bravest and strongest thing you can do.
The weight you are carrying is real, and it is heavy. Please hear this gently: feelings this heavy tell lies about the future. This moment is not the whole story. Spiritual care and professional care belong together, so please reach out for the help above, and know that God is near to the brokenhearted. You are loved, exactly as you are, right now.
You do not have to find your way alone. See all the ways to find help now, or ask someone to quietly pray with you. You do not have to explain anything.
A couple of gentle questions

- Can I get help without being religious?
- Yes, absolutely. The crisis lines above are free, confidential, and there for everyone, whatever you believe. You do not have to decide anything about faith to reach out and get help. Please reach out.
You are loved. Please stay.
