A Note on Mental Health

Our hearts go out to you during this difficult time–mental health is something we empathize with and care about deeply. We respect the seriousness of these issues and always recommend doing this work side by side with a therapist. If you have a pre-existing mental health condition, we do not recommend you start this work without the supervision of a doctor or therapist. 

This work can be very triggering which could bring up mental and physical unease. Since we’re not licensed medical professionals, we recommend seeking professional support, and we’ve gathered some resources that may be able to help you. 

If this is an emergency, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, call 911, or go to a hospital emergency room. 

If you can wait a few days, make an appointment with your primary healthcare provider if you think your condition is mild to moderate.  If your symptoms are moderate to severe, make an appointment with a specialized doctor such as a psychiatrist. You may need to contact your community mental health center or primary health care provider for a referral. If you are currently in school or college, contact your school and ask about their support services. 

We do suggest you seek out support groups in your community and educate yourself about your symptoms and diagnosis. We can’t guarantee any results, but if you are looking for a more affordable online solution, you can also try Talk Space or Better Help to get in contact with mental health professionals. 


Warmest Regards,

TBM Team
