Western Lane Crisis Response

01/03/2026

Please remember that the first sign that our mental health is suffering isn’t a su***de attempt,
and it isn’t an emotional breakdown.

It begins quietly.
Soft changes that we often ignore.

It starts with waking up exhausted
—even after sleeping for hours.

It shows up in struggling to get out of bed,
losing interest in things we once enjoyed,
and feeling a heavy lack of motivation.

Sometimes it looks like not having an appetite,
or battling constant gut issues,
skin breakouts,
and a sudden drop in energy.

For others, it comes as a decreased libido,
feeling lost or stuck,
or slowly disconnecting from the world around us.

There may be brain fog that makes simple tasks feel overwhelming,
fatigue that follows you everywhere,
irritability you can’t explain,
or self-sabotaging behaviours that leave you wondering why you did what you did.

It can even appear in disturbed sleep,
sleeping too much,
sleeping too little,
or sleeping without rest.

These are the subtle warning signs.
The quiet whispers.
The little alarms we push aside because “we’re fine.”

But your body always speaks.
It warns you gently at first.
It asks for attention, rest, healing, and care.

Listen to it before it has to scream.
Your wellbeing matters long before the breakdown.
You deserve peace before the pain gets loud.

Please remember—you don’t have to wait until it’s unbearable to reach out.

If those quiet whispers start getting louder, or if you’re feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do next, help is available right here in our community.

📞 Call Western Lane Crisis Response

You are not a burden for needing support.
You are not weak for asking for help.
You deserve care, connection, and compassion—especially when things feel heavy.

Reaching out early can make all the difference.
You don’t have to go through this alone.

🦛We are so grateful to Fred Meyer Jewelers for another year of generously donating stuffed animals to support our work. These cuddly hippos may seem small, but they bring comfort, peace, and a sense of safety to children experiencing a crisis. Thank you for your continued kindness and for helping us show compassion when it matters most. 💙🦛

The holidays can be a beautiful season… but they can also stir up memories and emotions that weigh a little heavier this time of year. Please know you don’t have to carry it alone.

PeaceHealth grief support group will be meeting next Tuesday at Lane Community College at 2:00 PM, and it’s a welcoming place to share, listen, and simply breathe with others who understand.

And remember — if you need someone to talk to — we’re only a phone call away at 541-997-3515.

You’re not alone, and your feelings matter. 💕

🧡🍁 Happy Thanksgiving from Western Lane Crisis Response 🍁🧡
Today, we are grateful for a community that looks out for one another.
To our first responders, community partners, local organizations, supporters, and every individual and family who continues to help us build a safer, healthier, and more compassionate Western Lane—thank you.
As we celebrate today, let’s also remember those who may be struggling. You don’t have to be alone today. The Kiwanis and the Florence Elks are hosting a free Thanksgiving dinner at the Elks Lodge on 12th Street. A warm meal and welcoming community are there for anyone who would like to join.
A simple act of kindness—a check-in, a listening ear, a bit of understanding—can make a difference.

🧡 Here for you. Here for each other. 🧡
