When to ask for more
When to seek professional help
These are signs it's worth talking to a professional, not signs something is wrong with you.
A therapist, GP, or counselor can help with
- Low mood, numbness, or hopelessness that lasts more than two weeks
- Panic attacks or anxiety that interferes with school, work, or sleep
- Using substances, food, or screens in ways that feel out of your control
- Recurring intrusive thoughts or thoughts of harming yourself
- Big shifts in appetite, sleep, or energy that you can't explain
- A sense that things keep getting heavier instead of lighter
Reaching out early is a strength, not a last resort. You don't need to be in crisis to deserve real support.

How to talk to a trusted person
You don't need the perfect words. Use one of these as a starting point: copy, edit, send.
If it's hard to start
"Hey, I've been having a rough time lately and I don't really want to keep it to myself. Can we talk soon? I don't need advice, I just need someone to listen."
Talking to a parent or family member
"I've been struggling with how I'm feeling and I think I need some support. I'm not sure exactly what would help yet, but I wanted you to know what's going on."
Reaching out to a friend
"Hey, would you mind checking in on me this week? Things have felt heavier than usual, and your texts always help."
