If you are feeling upset or in crisis, please tell someone — a friend or family member, a teacher, a doctor or therapist or call 911 (if you’re in the U.S.) or the Emergency Medical Services phone number in your country.
You can also call a suicide prevention hotline—these are available in the U.S. and in many other countries.
I’m going to leave this thread open so others can add resources they have found helpful. All posts that aren’t crisis intervention resources will be deleted, because we need to keep this clean for users in crisis.
If you or someone you love is suffering from an eating disorder, you can call the eating disorder hotline in the US to find services in your area at 1-800-931-2237
You can also text NEDA to 741741 to receive support by text message
