If you’re in distress

fencepost is a structured reflection program, not a clinical tool. If you’re thinking about harming yourself, unable to sleep or function, or in immediate danger, please stop using fencepost and reach out to one of the lines below. They are free, staffed by real people, and trained for exactly this.

If you or someone with you is in immediate physical danger, call your local emergency number now (911 in the US and Canada, 999 in the UK and Ireland, 112 across the EU, 000 in Australia, 111 in New Zealand).

A note from the people who built fencepost

The decision you are working through here is a big one. It is also the kind of decision that, when carried alone for too long, can start to weigh on more than just itself: on sleep, on mood, on relationships, on the sense of being able to keep going. If that has started to happen for you, the work of fencepost is not the most urgent work in your life right now. The most urgent work is talking to a real person who can help.

Reach out today. The conversation costs you nothing and changes more than it should.
