I am having suicidal thoughts anxiety panic attacks I need support

You are not alone in this. Suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and panic attacks are incredibly hard to carry, and it takes real strength to say it out loud. We are here with you right now. The most important thing is to keep yourself safe in this moment. You matter, and this feeling will not last forever, even though it feels unbearable right now.

What you can do right now

  • Try to slow your breathing – breathe in for four counts, hold for four, out for four. That can help calm the panic a little.
  • If you can, move to a safe place where you are not near anything you might use to hurt yourself.
  • Tell someone you trust what is happening – even a single sentence. You do not have to go through this alone.

Let’s talk more

We want to understand what has brought you here so we can help better. What has been going on that led to this point? And how long have you been feeling this way? You can tell us here, or if it is easier, you can talk to Zara – she is a companion from our team, here whenever you need someone to listen and work through this with you, step by step.
