Your Feelings

How are you feeling?

Feelings can be difficult and hard to make sense of. You might not even know why you feel a certain way.

If you’ve been affected by a crime, there is no right or wrong way to feel and this is ok. We’re always here to talk.

You might feel different things or you might not feel anything at all to begin with. Remember everyone is different and crime affects everyone differently.

Your Feelings

You may feel:

•  Upset or angry;
• Frightened or anxious;
•  Embarrassed and like you can’t tell anyone;
• Sad or depressed.

Your body might show signs you’ve been affected:

• Changes in sleeping patterns
• Changes in appetite or hunger
• Struggling to concentrate or listen;
• Headaches or being sick.

If you feel like you would like to someone about how your feeling, you can contact us. We’re always here to support you.

Reporting a crime

If you think you have been a victim of a crime and want to report a crime, you can tell a parent, carer or adult you trust. Victim First can also help you with this if you are unsure.

•  If you feel you are in immediate danger, call 999.
•  If it is not an emergency but you still want to report something to the police, you can call 101 or report online via Report a crime | Leicestershire Police (leics.police.uk)
