Need Help Now?
Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.
Sometimes our feelings can overwhelm us, depression can feel like it is swallowing us up into a dark hole that we will never climb out of. Sometimes these feelings can drive us to feel that the only options we have left are desperate measures…if you are feeling like this I want you to know that help is waiting for you at the end of a telephone line. Please speak to somebody…this is not a forever thing…it really will pass…but right now I know it doesn’t feel like it is ever going to change…that is why if you feel that way I would urge you to get some help. You can contact any of the links or telephone numbers below…
PLEASE STAY SAFE…YOU MATTER…YOUR LIFE IS WORTH IT…YOUR SITUATION WILL CHANGE.
