My Crash Support Plan
Having the crash plan decided in advance: the word, the contact, the agreements.
A keep-close version. Read it here, or screenshot this page to have it on your phone — print and PDF copies will appear once final files are attached.
The whole approach on one filled-in page, written on a better day — so the worst day becomes a matter of following rather than deciding. This is the plan that makes every other tool here usable from a horizontal position.
The word that means 'crashed'
One word to one person — a known arrangement, so the worst day needs one message, not a negotiation.
My word, and what it asks of them
e.g. 'Crashed' → Anna tells everyone, carries messages, checks in once at 6
Standing agreements, made in advance
- The house goes quiet — nobody waits for replies
- Water refilled whenever someone is passing
- Visible tasks done without asking — dishes, bins, doorstep
- No questions about causes until it passes
- Check-ins only at the agreed times
The kit and where it lives
The crash kit's home
e.g. The left bedside drawer — stocked weekly
The 'normal for me' note
Written down so a supporter can describe your normal pattern on your behalf if anything new appears.
What's normal for me
e.g. Headaches yes; chest symptoms never — anything chest/breathing is new and needs a call
For appointments landing mid-crash
Who reschedules, and how
e.g. Anna calls — she has the script from the Appointment Rescue Sheet
The plan is working when the crash is boring — a bad time, handled by a system, instead of an emergency improvised at your worst.
If the worsening is severe, prolonged, or beyond your normal pattern, that's a medical matter to raise — the plan supports you alongside care, never instead of it.
