Safety
Reading about self-esteem or looking at your scores can sometimes stir up strong feelings. That is a normal reaction, and it does not mean you are weak or failing.
If you notice intense distress, hopelessness, or thoughts of harming yourself, this website is not enough on its own. You deserve support from real people and services in your area.
If you are in immediate danger or feel unable to stay safe, contact your local emergency number or crisis services right away. If you can, reach out to someone you trust and let them know how you are feeling.
Finding professional support
Professional help
Start with official sources
Search for national or regional mental health associations, public health websites, or medical organizations in your country. These often provide directories or guidance on finding licensed professionals.
Check credentials and fit
When you find a therapist, counselor, or clinic, read how they describe their training and approach. If possible, look for experience with self-esteem, depression, or related topics, and notice whether their language feels respectful and clear.
Ask questions up front
It is reasonable to ask about fees, confidentiality, how they work, and what to expect in early sessions. A good professional will welcome your questions and help you decide whether it feels like a good match.
Using online resources wisely
Online
Prioritize quality over quantity
Look for information from universities, hospitals, professional associations, and established mental health organizations. Be cautious with accounts that make absolute promises or rely heavily on personal branding.
Notice how content makes you feel
Even well-meant content can sometimes increase shame or comparison. If a website, channel, or community leaves you feeling consistently worse, it may be healthier to mute, unfollow, or step away.
Protect your privacy and boundaries
Think carefully before sharing identifiable details about your history, location, or crisis experiences in public forums. When in doubt, keep specifics private and use anonymous options where possible.
