While you wait for help
While you wait for help
Stay with the person, or ask someone you trust to stay with you.
Move anything that could be used for self-harm out of reach, such as medicines, sharp objects or ropes.
Listen without judging. You do not need the right words; being there matters more.
If you can, go to the nearest hospital emergency department or ask a family member to take you.
