Navigating Your Self-Discovery Journey

I’m not a doctor or therapist—just someone who’s been through a lot and wants to share what I’ve learned. The resources here are meant to support and inspire you, but they’re not a substitute for professional help. If you’re dealing with something serious, please reach out to a healthcare provider. What works for me might not work for everyone, and that’s okay. I’m just here to offer my perspective in the hope that it might help you on your path.

Guidelines for User-Generated Content

I want Let’s Lose Ourselves Inc. to be a safe and supportive space for everyone. When you share your stories or experiences here, please keep them respectful and mindful of others’ privacy. I may review and remove anything that doesn’t align with this goal. By contributing, you’re agreeing to these guidelines and helping to create a community where everyone feels welcomed and supported.

Crisis Hotlines & Emergency Guidance

Emergency Hotlines for Mental Health and Addiction:

If you or someone you care about is in the middle of a mental health crisis or struggling with addiction, please don’t hesitate to reach out for help. You don’t have to go through this alone—there are people who genuinely care and are ready to support you. Here are some numbers you can call or text anytime, day or night:

  • National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255)
    Sometimes, just talking to someone who listens can make all the difference. This line is here for you.

  • Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (1-800-662-4357)
    If you’re dealing with addiction or mental health issues, this helpline offers guidance and support to help you find your way.

  • Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741
    When you need help but can’t talk, you can text this line and connect with someone who cares.

  • National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Helpline: 1-800-950-NAMI (1-800-950-6264)
    For those struggling with mental health, NAMI offers support and understanding from people who’ve been there.

  • Veterans Crisis Line: 1-800-273-8255, Press 1 or text 838255

Handling an Emergency Situation:

If you’re going through an emergency—whether it’s a mental health crisis or something related to addiction—I want you to know it’s completely normal to feel scared or overwhelmed. Those feelings are natural, but staying as calm as you can will really help you think clearly and make the best decisions. Here’s what you can do:

  • Take a Moment: First, check if someone needs immediate medical help. If there’s a risk of harm, don’t hesitate—call 911 or get to an emergency room as quickly as possible.

  • Stay Close: If it’s safe, stay with the person who’s struggling. Just being there, offering some quiet reassurance, can make a world of difference. They need to know they’re not alone, even if all you can do is sit quietly with them.

  • Speak Softly: Use simple, calm language. This isn’t the time for deep conversations or trying to convince them of anything—just be there with gentle words and support.

  • Get Help: Don’t be afraid to call one of the hotlines listed above. There are professionals ready to help you through this, and they can provide the guidance you need.

  • After It’s Over: Once the crisis has passed, it’s important to reach out to a healthcare provider for ongoing support. This will help prevent future crises and start the process of healing.

From My Heart to Yours: You’re Not Alone — A Note of Hope

If you’re going through a tough time, I want you to know I’ve been there—I’ve felt lost and alone too. I’m just one person, but I’m here, and I’ll do whatever I can to help you feel less alone. I created this site hoping it could reach and support people everywhere, but at the end of the day, I’m still just one person. That’s why I really hope everyone who joins this site and our Facebook page will step up for each other. Together, we can build a strong, supportive community where we all feel a little less alone.

Remember, you don’t have to face this by yourself—there are people who care and are ready to help. I really hope this site brings you some comfort and guidance when you need it most. It’s okay to be scared but try to stay calm and reach out for help. Taking care of yourself and those around you is what matters most.
