Take two minutes to make a list of the most important people in your life, along with a word or sentence about why they made the list.
Don’t worry about quantity. Even one caring person can make a difference. Your list can be on a piece of paper or on your phone. Keep it where it’s easy to find and pull it out whenever you need to be reminded that there are people who care about you.
If you can’t think of anyone and are feeling alone right now, you can always add the Crisis Text Line to your list for someone to talk to when you need it. Just text ‘ACES’ to 741741 for free for 24/7 crisis counseling.
