When you are ready to start feeling better help is available, hope and relief can be yours. Where to start? You can start by reaching out.  Surviving and overcoming difficult emotions is possible and moving beyond can be achieved, there are times when we need the objective support and guidance that a third party can provide.

While in the midst of an emotional meltdown or crisis, struggling with a new & troubling issue or the re-occurrence of a chronic issue- it is common to feel hopeless or helpless. What often helps is talking with someone about what is going on... a trusted friend, family member or professional (therapist, clergy, doctor...) This provides the opportunity to partially "release the grip" the situation &emotions have on you and allow room for you to breath and maybe even begin to have some hope.

Relief, hope, options and perspective  along with identifying things you can "do"...  These all play an important role in shifting from feeling hopeless to feeling better, and even hopeful. It is the smart person who knows when to ask for help this is a sign of personal awareness, Not weakness.


In some areas a free social service call to 211 may be available, ask your medical doctor or psychiatrist, call your health insurance provider , ask a trusted friend or family member or use the internet for a local search in your community.
