Struggling with Suicidal Ideations During Christmas Break

Of course if it is absolutely to much to take care of on your own call a hotline. Blahtherapy is an option as well, these are real people willing to help in the moment **they are NOT counselors. If a counselor is what you think you need, but you also need someone on the spot- I've heard better help let's you text message your therapist/counselor throughout the week. And if youre open to it, ASMR of people helping through depression and anxiety helps me. Of course if none of that works and you don't feel like you can stop yourself- PLEASE call emergency services.

As for harmful or negative thoughts- sometimes you have to create a mental safe space. Headphones! Take a walk. Go some sketching. Yoga, stretching, deep breathing- something that is going to sooth you and slow your mind down or prepare you for what is to come.

Make a list of all of the places you feel you can escape to. The library, a local coffee shop, a diner, a park etc. You dont have to spend a lot of money. A lot of coffee shops let you stay the whole day, you could get a free water and hunker down in a booth with their wifi. If you have a car, make a portable safe space in your back seat or trunk. Add a blanket, some battery powered Christmas lights, a pillow, some snacks, and something to drink.
