Emotional First Aid Kit
I need help right now.
Tell us what's happening. Not a diagnosis, not a form to fill out — just a fast, concrete first response, the same way you'd reach for a bandage before you reach for a doctor.
Right now
Name exactly what happened, plainly, in one sentence — separate from the bigger story you're already telling yourself about what it means about you as a person.
A different way to see it
A mistake is a single event. It only becomes a character flaw in the story you tell about it afterward — and that story is optional.

Next step
Take the smallest possible next right action — an apology, a fix, or simply forgiving yourself for today.
