While you wait for someone
- Tell one person nearby that you are not okay. It does not need explaining.
- Put distance between yourself and anything you could use to cause harm.
- Stay somewhere with other people in it, even strangers.
- Slow the breath: in for four, out for six, ten times.
Mahavir Rahat Kendra volunteers in Mumbai can also connect you to in-person support at the first-Sunday distribution.
