Mental health resources

[maple]

the resource center has compiled resources for those struggling with mental health issues. below are some mental health resources. all links have been verified to work on switch :3

Mental health chatrooms

https://www.healthfulchat.org/mental-health-chat-rooms.html
HealthfulChat is an anonymous chatroom designed for mental health discussions. please make sure to read and follow their rules.

Mental health general resources

https://mentalhealthresourcesmasterlist.carrd.co/
this has many different links to different resources, coping skills, and information.

Crisis lines

https://www.apa.org/topics/crisis-hotlines
if youre in a crisis, please dont hesitate to call a crisis line. many can be completely anonymous and some (like the Trans Lifeline) wont call police/ambulance without your consent.

Self harm care

https://shguide.carrd.co/
cw: some images may be triggering.
an important aspect of recovering from self harm is harm reduction. many people try to jump straight to harm prevention which can lead to a medical emergency. before trying to prevent self harm (e.g, by taking away blades), you must first reduce the level of harm in the first place by learning first aid, when and how to get help, and obtaining supplies to treat your wounds.

Mental illness information

https://mentaldisordersinfo.carrd.co/
for general knowledge of different mental illnesses and their symptoms.

One in six

https://1in6.org/
this is a site for male SA survivors. the statistic is scary, but getting help shouldn't be. they have various links and stuff to help you get the help you need.

Conclusion

this will be updated as more resources are found. thanks maple (me :3) and the resource center for this.

heh... ill make good use of this info.. :tongue: (well-try to at least-) but actually, thank you guys so much!! ^ω^ (uhhh...whyd that sound fake.. its not, i swear- im very grateful :sob:)

[Yanderemenhera]

its ok :3

[Yanderemenhera]

bumping this bc its September first and its awareness month, the 988 website has a chat feature and it refreshes a lot b4 you can get to the chat with a consuler, but i can conform it DOES work.

[Yanderemenhera]

what i will say is, 988 doesn't have a good reputation. and i can speak from experience and say they aren't very good about responding (at least from the times i've tried to contact them)

but

it's worth a shot, you might get pared with a consuler whom actually cares :3 its still good to give it a try, you never know.

[Yanderemenhera]

stay safe you are NOT alone

[Yanderemenhera]

[Yanderemenhera]

@VGMoose check your dms, i have given you a list of sites, its me and another user called maple in there btw

[Raven]

It would be more beneficial if you added the sites here instead as the link already is being brought to this thread.

[Yanderemenhera]

ah ok

[Raven]

If you have another thread with all your links you could always link it in the original post.

[Yanderemenhera]
