Start with the essentials
Start with one manageable task, such as listing the next bills or asking for clarification about a payment. Choose a trusted person to talk with. A practical plan can reduce uncertainty, but it does not replace care for persistent distress.
What you can do
- Separate urgent essentials from decisions that can wait a few days.
- Keep basic routines for meals, sleep and regular contact with supportive people.
- Seek a qualified mental-health professional if worry keeps affecting daily life.
Keep in mind
If someone is in immediate danger or cannot stay safe, contact local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department.
