If you do not know how to explain it
- “Mi not really okay and mi don’t know how fi explain it yet.”
- “Everything feel like too much today.”
- “Can I talk to you about something?”
If you know what you need
- “Mi need somebody fi listen, not fix it.”
- “I don’t need advice right now. I just don’t want to carry this by myself.”
- “Can you stay with me while I figure out the next step?”
Choose the person with care
Look for somebody who can listen, respect privacy and take safety seriously. If the first conversation does not help, that does not mean you should stop looking for support.
