IF YOU ARE ON MEDICATION PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP YOUR MEDICATION COLD TURKEY. TALK TO YOUR PRESCRIBER ABOUT GETTING OFF THEM USING A SLOW TAPER. I AM NOT A DOCTOR, PSYCHIATRIST, or TRAINED THERAPIST; THESE ARE THE OPINIONS OF A SURVIVOR.

 

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911 (or your country's local emergency line) or go to an emergency room.

Be Prepared: Explain that it is a psychiatric emergency and ask for someone who is trained to help with one.
