Severe Weather selected

The guide is pausing here.

Immediate safety, support, and shelter matter more than creativity right now. This guide will not assign a creative exercise in Severe Weather.

Move toward the safest available place or situation.
Tell someone you trust clearly that you need support.
If you may be in immediate danger or cannot stay safe, contact local emergency services or appropriate professional support now.

In a real thunderstorm, taking shelter is wise—not weakness. You may return when conditions are safer. If you selected Severe Weather only to explore the tool, change the Weather setting and continue.

This guide offers reflective creative guidance. It is not a diagnosis or a substitute for emergency or professional support.
