Dealing with Sudden Drops in Mental Health

I like doodling or write poetry when I feel at the breaking point.

Also, writing down a list of triggers and way of managing them and symptoms can help. There is power in being able to talk with a therapist about what you are going through, especially if you have a therapist you've worked with in the past, most therapists are fine with past clients who check in every so often.

The best thing is to contact a crisis line. Texting HOME to 741 741 can help. Most people are concerned that the police or Paramedics will be called right away if they reach out, but that's not usually the case. I do crisis work on a campus and I have yet to witness the police or ambulance being called on a person this year.

I like to talk to close friends or family When I'm really low it helps me when i hear from people who love me because I forget that people really do care about me even when i hate myself
