There are also hotlines you can call if you're not an imminent threat to yourself or others. I'm not sure if you have state/district specific hotlines (like NH has Rapid Response), but there's also 988 to call, text, or chat to on their website. If you don't like 988 and you can't talk on the phone for whatever reason, 741741 is a texting service that'll chat with you. I will say sometimes they take a while to set you up with someone and they definitely aren't a quick fix to anything going on in your mind, but it does sometimes help to just talk things out and spend some time avoiding any impulses that may come up.
