- Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness

- Losing interest in hobbies or things you used to care about

- Noticeable changes in sleep—too much or too little

- Major shifts in appetite or weight

- Trouble concentrating or feeling mentally foggy

- Thinking you’re a burden, or having suicidal thoughts

- Using alcohol or drugs more often

- Withdrawing from friends, family, or daily life

- Acting reckless or having extreme mood swings

If you or someone you know is struggling:
Call or text 988 to connect with a trained, compassionate behavioral health counselor—free, confidential, and available 24/7 to all Oklahomans.
