Please I beg you. Survive. [View all]

If you are in a toxic relationship that is difficult to leave for whatever reason, I beg you not to let it beat you all the way down. Do something. Reach out somewhere. Even if it seems impossible, embarrassing. Even if you feel shame (you shouldn't).

If all else fails call 988. 24/7

They'll provide what you need in the moment and help you figure out longer term.

Please. Oh please. Do something other than end it. Please.
You are worth more than you might think.
