i know it’s easier said than done. but hang in there. the scariest moment is always just before you start.

disclaimer: i am not a medical professional. everything on this page is based on my own life and personal research. if you need immediate care, contact NAMI at 1-800-950-6264 or visit Online-Therapy.com to talk to a licensed therapist online. this post contains affiliate links.

i’m not a therapist. i’m just a girl who has been to hell and back. more than once. and somehow lived to write a blog post about it.

this page isn’t a magic fix. it’s the one i wish i had when i was deep in depression, anxiety, panic attacks, breakups, and trying to rebuild a life while managing bipolar disorder.

these are resources i have personally used or still use. some are affiliate links, some are free. save this page. share it with someone who needs it. come back when you feel like you’re falling apart. you are not alone.

if you are in immediate danger or thinking about hurting yourself, please use one of these. trained people are available 24/7. you do not have to go through this alone.
