When a quiz won’t help
Reach out to a professional in person if:
- you haven’t slept properly for more than two weeks;
- you can no longer keep up with work or school;
- there has been physical violence or threats in your relationship;
- your partner controls your money, documents or movements;
- you have thoughts of ending everything.
These situations are treatable, and people get through them. Asking for help is not a defeat. It is the fastest way to get back to making your own decisions.
