Crisis Resources
If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health emergency, please reach out to one of the resources below. Help is available right now.
Are you in immediate danger?
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number right away — 112 or 100 in India, 911 in the US, 999 in the UK.
JPsyche is an AI assistant and is not equipped to handle real-time emergencies. These resources are staffed by trained human counsellors.
A Quick Grounding Exercise
If you feel overwhelmed right now, try this before reaching out — it can help slow racing thoughts:
- Name 5 things you can see around you.
- Name 4 things you can physically touch.
- Name 3 things you can hear.
- Name 2 things you can smell.
- Name 1 thing you can taste.
This is the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique. Then please reach out to one of the helplines below.
