Get help now
If you are in danger or might act on thoughts of suicide, call your emergency number now (911 in Canada and the US, 112 in Europe). Otherwise, find your country below. 326 free lines in 64 countries, checked October 10, 2026.
Call or text 988 in Canada and the US. In Québec: 1 866 APPELLE (1-866-277-3553) or text 535353. Emergency: 911.
While you wait
- Get away from anything you could use to hurt yourself, or ask someone to hold onto it for now.
- Don't use alcohol or drugs tonight. They make the worst hour worse.
- Tell one person. A text is enough: “I'm not OK, can you stay with me?”
- You don't have to be sure you're “bad enough” to call. Calling early is the point.
