If You’re Struggling Right Now, Please Don’t Go It Alone

First—deep breath. If you’re here because things feel really hard, we’re so glad you made it this far. That matters.

We know how overwhelming it can be to ask for help. Maybe you’re wondering if your situation is “bad enough” to reach out. (It is. You are.) Or maybe you’re scared no one will understand. But there are people who want to listen, who are trained to support you without judgment or pressure.

Here’s a list of places to start:

  • 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline – Call or text 988 anytime, day or night
  • Crisis Text Line – Text HOME to 741741
  • The Trevor Project – LGBTQ+ support for youth: Call 1-866-488-7386 or text START to 678-678
  • Trans Lifeline – 877-565-8860 (peer support run by trans folks)

You don’t have to be in crisis to reach out. Sometimes it’s just about not wanting to carry everything alone anymore—and that’s more than okay.
