Please explore the mental health and crisis resource options available to you in your area. If you are in need of medical assistance please go to your local hospital emergency or Walk in clinic. If you are having an emergency call 911. As I am situated in Canada, all information has been sourced through the Canadian Mental Health Association webpage.
If you are in need of some support and a kind listening ear, there are resources listed here by location. If you are not Canadian, I invite you to look into the mental health resources available to you in your location. Feel free to add resources that I haven't listed.
