With a little digging I found a hotline where you can call or text 988 to get help. " 988 serves as a universal entry point that no matter where you live in United States, you can reach a trained crisis counselor who can help, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." (TEXAS Health and Human Services) There are also family and individual counseling that offers a safe confidential environment where you can express what is troubling you. All of these resources are free and easy to access but, the first step is actually seeking help, and that is always the hard part. The resources for mental health are adequate but are not widely known because of the stigma but on it by the older generation or that you don't want anyone to know. Mental health is just as important as physical health so everyone should get a checkup, like your annual physical. But, in these past few years, seeking help for mental illnesses and help has increased because more and more people are speaking out about it. The stigma that was once surrounded by it is starting to lose its weight. There are online options, even schools have a program that gives kids free counseling no matter what they are dealing with.
