Help
Oop- it seems like you or someone you know might need some help ! Don't worry, in this card we will try our best to help you as much as possible. We highly advice you to read this first.We have divided the help we offer into several categories.
we apologize if they are not specific enough as this is only for general help.
Feelings of numbness / loneliness :Hey there ! Before we proceed, please know that these feelings are completely okay, common and you are not alone. Many people would feel numb, blank and ultimately loneliness once in a while, and that is okay ! For some, it may be a way or a coping mechanism for stress, shock or in overwhelming situations. Indeed life is not easy, we may all have expectations for ourselves, or face different situations. Try to process what has been going on and accept the situation, as well as distract yourself from negative thoughts. For example, going on a walk, reading a book, picking up a new hobby/routine etc. These activities can also be done individually, which may help you cope with loneliness.
Feelings of sadness / anxiety:Depression and anxiety can suck. Sometimes even simple ordinary things that was once so easy to us, like getting up in the morning, going outside, may be painful to. It sucks, sometimes thinking that you are the cause of a problem, a failure or a waste of space. But promise me, you are not ! You are worth way more than that, you and your opinions are valid.To deal with situations like this, it is important to take care of yourself. Start putting your well-being above everything else, and remind yourself that things will get better. You can start simple, like just getting out of bed and eating a meal. It may seem small but in the end it may help you lots ! Other methods to cope are :- Self care : Eat, shower, brush your teeth. Keep doing these and it will gradually become a routine. It will be much easier once you follow up with the routine and practice it daily.- Take your meds : If you're under medication, please remember to take them when you need to. They are designed to help you, it might not seem to help but in the long run, there will be effects !- Ask for help : If you're going through something difficult or having a hard time, please communicate it to a professional or someone you trust ! Whatever it is, it is not your fault. Once you receive help, things will get better !!!
I need someone to talk to :Hey there ! We're glad that you're seeking for someone to talk. Whether it's telling someone about past traumas or just sharing about each other's lives, opening up to someone is actually a way of receiving help !If you or someone you know is in need of urgent help, please consider calling these hotlines.
We highly recommend calling your local hotline for situations like this.
