Look after yourself
Email-god is often used for self-reflection. It’s a great way to organise your thoughts, and there is therapeutic value found in writing and prayer, but we can not give advice. So, if you or someone else is in immediate danger, please call emergency services in your area (999 in the UK, 911 in the US, 000 in Australia). See below for further resources. Stay safe, look after each other.
