Sometimes someone who is struggling may not say it directly. Watch for behavior that is new, increasing or connected to a painful event, such as:
Withdrawing from family and friends
Sleeping much more or less than usual
Increased alcohol or drug use
Extreme mood changes, anxiety or agitation
Talking about feeling hopeless, trapped or like a burden
Giving away meaningful belongings or saying goodbye
If something feels different, check in:
“I’ve noticed you haven’t seemed like yourself lately. How are you really doing?”
Listen without judgment and take concerns seriously. You don’t need to have all the answers—you can help connect them with support.
