If you're in a place of crisis because of the election, please reach out and talk to someone. If you're struggling to find someone right now, try the NAMI helpline on 1-800-950-NAMI, text 'HelpLine' to 62640 or email [email protected]. Your mental health is extremely important, especially during this election period. Put your phone away if you need to take time away from the news.
