741741 Crisis Textline and how it works…

To get connected with a crisis counselor first text the word ‘HOME’ to 741741.

While you wait to be connected tap on the bit.ly link provided. It will take you to a webpage where you can answer some questions about what’s going on.

Either during or after you complete the quiz a 'checking in’ text will come in and ask you what kind of crisis you’re having. At this point you can reply with what’s wrong or text 'STOP’ to end the conversation.

The Textline is an alternative option to dialing 9-1-1. They are setup to handle most mental health emergencies.

If you aren’t comfortable speaking on the phone about your crisis then please use this Textline as a backup option.

Hopefully this information is helpful.

Please feel free to include links or numbers to similar services for other countries in the comments.

Things to do when your having anxiety:

•think about someone/something that makes you happy 
•listen to calming music 
•doodle/draw if possible 
•make up happy/nice scenarios in your head 
•find something that maybe seats or slightly moves and focus on just that thing 
•imagine yourself in a calm and relaxing place 
•close your eyes and breathe deeply
•think about a nice memory you’ve had with someone you love 
•talk to someone you trust if possible 
•if your in class, ask to go into the hallway for a little to calm down 
•if your in a situation where you can’t leave the room, block out the noise and focus on your breathe 
•put your head down and close your eyes and try to relax and calm down 
•hug someone you trust/love 
•find 5 things you can touch, 4 things you can hear, 3 things you can taste, 2 things you can smell, 1 thing

You’re not reading this by accident.

Everything is going to be okay.

Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before.

You’ve been this uncomfortable, anxious and scared, and you survived.

Close your eyes and feel the universe within you making a way for you right now.

some of you haven’t spent countless hours thinking up a whole universe in your head to escape to and it shows
