The five steps, right now
- Breathe. Slow the out-breath. You do not have to fix anything in this minute.
- Remember. This feeling is real, and it is temporary. It has passed before.
- Do one thing. Water. Window open. Feet on the floor. Just one.
- Reach out. One person, one message. Reaching for help is the strong move.
- Start again tomorrow. Not the whole life. Just tomorrow.

This page is open to everyone, always. No account, no code, because nobody should have to fill in a form on a bad day.
