THE TIME IS NOW!
If you are experiencing several of the symptoms of mental illness and they’ve lasted for a few weeks, it’s time for you to A.C.T.
1. Apply coping strategies. People don’t think clearly when they\’re upset. Don’t do anything extreme until you’ve calmed down. Tools that help you face challenging feelings in a healthy way are coping strategies. This includes: taking deep breaths, imagining yourself in a calm, peaceful place, or simply doing something you enjoy.
2. Consider your options for help. Identify an adult you trust. Maybe a teacher, coach, counselor, parent or other relative, who you can trust and talk to about what you’re experiencing.
3. Talk to that person. If you trust this person, you probably know that he or she is someone you can to about your feelings. Don’t wait. Go talk to that trusted adult as soon as you begin to worry about your feeling being too intense or lasting too long.
If you have a friend who you think is showing symptoms of mental illness, it’s time to H.E.L.P.
- Help as soon as you can.
- Empathize with the person
- Listen without trying to fix it
- Plan your next steps.
