Lesson Overview

1.265 – What to Text a Friend When You’re Spiraling: Texting during crisis requires simplicity to bypass overwhelm. Prepare template messages in advance—“Having a rough moment, can you check in?” or emoji signals like 🟡 for mid-level distress. Use direct tone rather than coded hints; clarity accelerates help. Include whether you need advice, distraction, or silence. Set expectation: “I might not reply fast but appreciate presence.” This prevents misinterpretation. Keep messages factual and time-limited to avoid emotional spirals. Over time, prewritten communication reduces hesitation to reach out. Technology becomes extension of your support network, not dependency. Practicing these scripts during calm ensures reflexive access under stress. Each honest text strengthens social safety net, proving that vulnerability executed with structure enhances connection, turning digital contact into lifeline grounded in transparency and mutual trust instead of impulsive panic dialogue.
