If you are in crisis

Ask a Mirror is a tool for self-reflection. It is not a crisis service and it cannot help if you are in immediate danger. Please reach out to the resources below — there are real people on the other side, and they are there exactly for this.

Less urgent but still real

If you are struggling but not in immediate danger, talking to a professional helps. A few starting points:

• Speak with your GP / médico de cabecera — they can refer you.
• Look up licensed therapists in your country (in Spain: Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos).
• Online platforms like TherapyRoute let you filter by location and language.

A reminder

Ask a Mirror is private — your reflections are encrypted and unreadable to us — but it is also just a mirror. It cannot intervene. It cannot call for help. It does not know if you are in danger. The people on the other end of the lines above can.
