At what point should I seek help for how I feel?

If you feel you need to hurt yourself or others to feel better, it is important to seek professional help. Also, if your feelings are inhibiting your daily functions.

In my opinion, whenever you start to feel negative. Talking about it can help a lot. And seeking help for larger things (depending on how severe) can save your life.

Informal help - like reaching out to friends, reading a good self help book and coming here to 7 cups are great things to do as soon as you are feeling mentally and or emotionally unwell. As for professional help - I would say again, the sooner the better, there is nothing wrong or bad about seeking help as soon as you start to feel the need.

At the point were you think you need it or when you just want take your own life then you really should get help because there is a point for your life even if you dont see it.

at any point i think getting help earlier would help with what ever the problem is and befor it gets worse

When you fear you might become a danger to yourself or others, it's good to seek a professional's opinion. I always err on the side of caution -- if I'm worried about something, it helps to chat with my counselor about it just in case.
