If you are in immediate danger, call 112. It is the national emergency number and it answers at any hour.
This page is plain on purpose. This practice is not an emergency service: I read messages within days, not minutes. The services below answer now.

Until someone answers
If your body is racing, the breathing page is built for exactly this moment. It asks nothing of you except to follow a shape with your breath.
Whatever brought you to this page, you did well to look for help. That instinct is worth trusting.
