Telling Someone You Are Not Okay

Find the words for saying you are not doing well, before you need them.

Purpose: Find the words for saying you are not doing well, before you need them.

When to use: Use this when you have been holding it on your own and want that to change.

Worksheet prompts

  1. Who is most likely to take this well?
  2. Write the sentence you would say to them. Short is fine.
    I am not okay, and I did not want to keep carrying it on my own.
  3. What are you worried will happen?
  4. How and when will you say it? Text, call, or in person.

You do not have to explain all of it. You only have to start it.
