When public figures experience mental health crises in the spotlight, it forces a difficult conversation about how we treat distress online. If you or someone you know is going through a tough time, please remember that support is always available, and you don't have to carry it alone.

Life can feel heavy. Sometimes, it gets overwhelming very fast.

Finding Help When Things Get Hard

If you are feeling hopeless or thinking about self-harm, please reach out for help right now. People want to listen, and confidential support is available 24/7.
