Anchor Lamp is not emergency care.

If you are thinking about ending your life, hurting yourself, or you are in immediate danger, please reach a real human right now. You do not have to explain yourself well. You only have to reach out.

You are not a burden, and this is not weakness. Stay with someone if you can. Tell one person what is happening. Then call the number for where you are.
