Need to talk?

Sometimes a test stirs something that had been asking for attention for a while — an old sadness, held-back anger, a tiredness that won't lift. If you got here that way, take a breath. You're not alone.

When it may help to reach out for professional support

• Thoughts of harming yourself or that life isn't worth living.
• Persistent sadness, anxiety or irritability for weeks.
• Trouble sleeping, eating, working or looking after yourself.
• Using alcohol or substances to keep functioning.
• Feeling stuck in relationships that hurt.
• A recent shock: grief, separation, job loss, violence.
