We cannot provide immediate assistance or emergency services through this platform. In case of a life-threatening situation or if you believe you or someone else is in immediate danger, it is crucial to contact emergency services in your country right away.  Your safety and well-being are of utmost importance.

When a friend confides in you about their struggles, it's essential to respond with patience, support, and a non-judgmental attitude. While you may not fully understand what they are going through, simply being there to listen can make a significant difference. Encourage them to express their feelings and concerns, and let them know that you are there for them. If needed, you can also suggest reaching out to professional organisations or helplines specialising in mental health support. You can find a list of organisations here.

The Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand also has some resources which may help you to support a friend.

In cases of emergency or if you believe that you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call 111 (or your local emergency number) for immediate assistance.

If you are struggling with your mental health or facing personal challenges, it's important to prioritise self-care and seek appropriate support. Here are some steps you can take:

Reach out to someone: Talk to a trusted friend, family member, or mentor about what you're going through. Opening up to someone you trust can provide emotional support and help you feel less alone.

Seek professional help: Consider reaching out to a mental health professional such as a psychologist, counselor, or therapist. They can provide you with guidance, coping strategies, and specialized support tailored to your specific needs.

Contact helplines or crisis hotlines: If you're in immediate distress, there are helplines available in many countries that provide confidential support. Look for helpline numbers specific to your region or contact emergency services if you believe you're in immediate danger.

Take care of your physical well-being: Engage in activities that promote self-care and overall well-being. This can include exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, eating nutritious meals, and practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation.

Educate yourself: Learn more about mental health, self-help techniques, and coping strategies. Resources such as books, online articles, and reputable websites can provide valuable insights and tools for managing your struggles.

Remember, everyone's journey is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. It's important to find the approach and support system that best suits you. Be patient with yourself, and don't hesitate to reach out for help when needed. You deserve support and care as you navigate your way towards better mental well-being.
