Professional first. NST alongside.

If you are here because of symptoms, distress, or a concern about your mental health, contact a qualified health professional first. A primary care provider or licensed mental-health professional can help you find appropriate care. You do not need a diagnosis or to finish this book before asking for help.

Write down what you notice and bring it to that conversation. Use NST as optional reading with your professional, never to diagnose yourself or someone else, direct treatment, or replace care. Your care plan takes priority over any exercise or interpretation here. Pause anything that increases distress and discuss it with your professional; feeling unsafe is not proof of healing.

Need support now? In the U.S., call or text 988 or chat with the 988 Lifeline for emotional distress or a suicidal crisis. For a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Outside the U.S., use your local crisis or emergency service. Do not delay getting help to read or make notes.
