When Things Feel Overwhelming
When emotions feel too big to handle, these grounding steps can help bring you back to a place of safety.
Take three slow, deep breaths. In for 4 seconds, hold for 4, out for 4. This activates your body's calm response.
Name 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, 1 you can taste. This brings you back to the present.
Call a helpline, text a friend, talk to a trusted adult. You don't have to explain everything — just saying 'I'm struggling' is enough.
Go somewhere you feel physically safe. Remove anything that could cause harm. You deserve to be safe.
This moment will pass. Feeling this way doesn't make you weak — it makes you human. You've survived every bad day so far.
Reaching out is one of the bravest things you can do. There is no judgement here — only people who genuinely want to help you through this.
