Crisis Resources

This page exists to make asking for help feel less hard.

If you are in China

12356 is the unified national mental-health support helpline promoted by the National Health Commission. Dialing it connects you to your local psychological assistance line, staffed by trained counselors; most regions operate around the clock. Anyone can call — you don't need to be "ill enough" to deserve it. For immediate danger, call 120 (ambulance) or 110 (police).

If you are elsewhere

• United States & Canada: call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline);
• United Kingdom & Ireland: Samaritans, 116 123;
• Anywhere: findahelpline.com lists verified crisis lines by country;
• For immediate danger, call your local emergency number.

When to reach out right away

• Any thoughts of harming yourself or ending your life — even fleeting ones;
• Emotional collapse or panic you cannot ride out alone;
• Days of near-total sleeplessness with your daytime functioning visibly breaking down;
• Intense reactions after a major loss, violence, or an accident.

Ongoing (non-emergency) struggles deserve professional care too: a psychiatrist, psychologist, or your primary-care doctor is a fine place to start. Booking a mental-health appointment is as ordinary as booking a dental one.

About this site

Everything on PixelJu is psychology outreach — not diagnosis or treatment, and comments/DMs cannot provide counseling. Passing this page to someone who might need it is a quietly kind thing to do.
