Pick whatever is closest. You don't have to explain anything, and there's no wrong answer.
Things you can do here
No account, no trial, nothing locked. Nothing you type here is sent anywhere. It stays on your device.
Follow the light. In while it grows, out while it shrinks. The breath out is longer on purpose. It tells your body it's allowed to slow down.
Whenever you're ready.
When your mind is spinning, this brings you back into the room, one sense at a time. Say each thing out loud or in your head. Take your time.
Say the thing you can't say to anyone. Be as messy as you need. When you're done, you can let it go, and it's gone for good.
A short plan for the next time things get dark, based on the Stanley-Brown Safety Plan that counselors use. Fill in what you can. Even one line helps. It saves as you type, only on this device.
For when sleep won't come. A slow walk through your body, one line at a time. You don't have to fall asleep. Resting with your eyes closed still helps.

A note on this space
This isn't a corporate wellness site, and it isn't therapy. I'm not a licensed professional. I'm someone who's been in the dark places and found some lights along the way. Everything here is shared in that spirit, one human to another.
Everything here is free, tonight and next month. No paywalls on healing, and no trial that quietly turns into a bill. If you just needed to know someone understands: you're not alone. Keep going.
A note on transparency
I'm not trying to lead with this, and I'm definitely not seeking pity. But closed mouths don't get fed, and the truth deserves to be told.
The reality is: I've been illegally evicted and forced into homelessness on the other side of fraud, complicity, and corruption. This website and these resources were built while I was navigating the depths of my own darkest days, and I'm still praying that light will come from somewhere.
Maybe that's you. Maybe it's someone you choose to share this page with. I don't know. But I'm trying my best, not only for myself, but so I can continue making even better resources for others.
In my experience, it's exactly the refusal to be open about the truth that causes and perpetuates so much of the ongoing harm we see around us. So I'm being transparent about where I am, and what it takes to keep building.
