Help in a crisis
Sometimes tired is more than tired. If you feel hopeless most days, if you can’t sleep or can’t get out of bed, if you’ve stopped enjoying anything at all, or if you’re having thoughts of not wanting to be here, please don’t carry that alone. That is not a weakness, and it’s not something a book can fix. It’s a reason to talk to someone today.
If you ever feel afraid of your partner, or someone at home hurts you, threatens you, or controls your money, your phone, or where you go, that is not a communication problem and it’s not your fault. You deserve to be safe, and there are people whose whole job is to help you plan for that, quietly and confidentially.
