Knowing when it’s time to get urgent help can look like:

– having suicidal thoughts and plans to act on them.

– self-harming.

– experiencing intense mood swings, from highs to lows.

– experiencing an episode of psychosis: maybe you’re hearing voices or experiencing intense paranoia.

– feeling overwhelming emotional pain, worthlessness, hopelessness, rage, frustration or self-hatred.

– dramatic changes to behaviour or eating and sleeping patterns.

– inability to go about daily tasks, including eating, getting dressed, brushing your teeth, showering/bathing etc.

– displaying impulsive or reckless behaviour, or acting out aggressively.

– withdrawing from social situations and increased feelings of social isolation.
