When Your Thoughts Feel Difficult or Disturbing

Difficult thoughts can take many forms. They might be about suicide, self-harm, harming someone else, or experiencing auditory hallucinations.

Whatever is going through your head, you do not need to make sense of all of it right now. Sometimes it can help simply to slow things down and get some of those thoughts out of your head.

Get It Out of Your Head

Write whatever is going through your head right now. It doesn't need to make sense, be neatly written or sound a certain way. This is just somewhere to put it.

Not sure where to start? Try one of these:

• Right now I'm feeling...
• The thing I can't stop thinking about is...
• What I'm most worried about is...
• What I wish I could say is...
