trying to help someone else?
you don't need the right words, and you don't have to fix anything. the most powerful thing you can do is stay — and let them be exactly as not-okay as they are.
- lead with "that sounds really hard," not "have you tried…"
- ask: "do you want me to just listen, or help think it through?"
- don't rush them to be okay. sitting in it with them is enough.
- if they're in danger, reach 988 together — or call 911.
you did the right thing by being here. whatever happens next, you've got a whole club in your corner — come back any time.
