Help comes before a worksheet

If something is urgent, stop the companion. Use the route that matches what is happening now; this page does not assess or diagnose symptoms.

Choose the level of help

emergency now

Get emergency help now

  • Chest pressure or pain
  • Face drooping, arm weakness or new speech difficulty
  • Severe trouble breathing
  • Collapse or fainting that does not rapidly resolve
  • A seizure, severe allergic reaction or uncontrolled bleeding

This diary and website are not emergency services. Call SAMU 114 now. If you cannot reach medical emergency services, call 112 or 999. Do not drive yourself. If it is safe, stay with the person and follow the dispatcher’s instructions.

Stop the diary or assessment and contact emergency services now.

emergency now

Do not face immediate danger alone

  • Thoughts of suicide with possible intent or action
  • Immediate danger of harming yourself or someone else
  • A person cannot stay safe without urgent help

Call SAMU 114 or 112/999, or go to the nearest emergency department. Tell a trusted person who can stay with you while help is arranged. A diary exercise is not the right response to immediate danger.

End the assessment, contact emergency help and involve a trusted person if it is safe to do so.

urgent today

Seek clinical advice today

  • New or recurrent fainting
  • New palpitations with dizziness
  • A severe suspected medicine reaction
  • Vomiting, deep breathing, confusion or severe low-glucose symptoms in a person with diabetes
  • Rapid deterioration in mental wellbeing or ability to stay safe

These concerns need timely assessment and cannot be interpreted safely by a diary. Contact an appropriate urgent clinical service today. If symptoms become severe or you may be in immediate danger, use the emergency instructions.

Pause self-directed exercises and seek same-day clinical advice.

Make a care conversation a next step

  • Repeated concerning home measurements
  • Witnessed pauses or gasping during sleep
  • Persistent daytime sleepiness that affects driving or safety
  • Persistent low mood, anxiety or difficulty functioning
  • Unexplained symptoms, unintended weight loss or a concerning family history

Record what happened, when it started, what makes it better or worse, relevant medicines and measurements, and the questions you want to ask. Arrange an appropriate clinician conversation rather than trying to interpret the pattern as a diagnosis.

Create a concise discussion sheet and arrange appropriate care.

stop and review

Stop activity and respond to symptoms

  • Chest pain or pressure during activity
  • Fainting, sudden weakness or numbness
  • Severe or unusual breathlessness
  • A new rapid or irregular heartbeat with dizziness

Stop the activity. If symptoms are severe, sudden, persistent or match the emergency signs, use the emergency instructions. Otherwise seek appropriate clinical advice before returning to demanding activity.

Stop, move to safety and choose emergency or clinical help according to the symptoms.

stop and review

Tracking should not make life smaller

  • Food, weight, exercise, sleep or device tracking increases anxiety, guilt or rigidity
  • Tracking prompts restriction, compensation or repeated checking
  • A number begins to override symptoms, functioning or professional advice

Stop or simplify the tracking activity. Choose a non-weight and non-device pathway, and speak with an appropriately qualified professional if distress, restriction or compensatory behaviour persists.

Pause tracking and choose support over another measurement.
