Am I in Crisis?

A crisis can vary by individual. When in doubt, ask for help.

A crisis might involve:

Homicidal thoughts, intent, plan, and/or other risks of harm to others.
Recent traumatic experience (e.g., natural disaster, sexual or physical assault)
Recent death of someone close to you.
Seeing or hearing things that others do not see or hear.
Feeling unsafe, a sense of impending doom, or that someone/something wants to hurt you.
Currently living without basic needs being met (i.e., without access to food, shelter, clothing).
Unable to perform daily tasks, such as not being able to eat or sleep for several days.
Experiencing uncontrollable panic and unable to calm down.
When in doubt, ask for help - even if you do not see your symptom on the list.
