What should I do if I am feeling suicidal, but don't want to tell anyone?

Write it down. Ripped the paper. Then throw it away to the trash. I actually talk about it to God. I’m thinking suicidal but at that time i’m thinking thousand hundred billion million whatever way not to do it. It works, for me.

That's a very difficult situation to be in, and I know it first hand. Please know that there are plenty of ways that you can anonymously talk to people about these feelings (e.g. via a suicide hotline). If it is possible, it is also an option to find an impartial therapist who you can trust to keep what you say confidential. Whatever you do, don't leave it too late - even if you are feeling well, it is important that you get what you need to keep you safe in case these feeling recur in the future. Beyond that initial help, it might also be worth considering why it is that you don't want to share. Maybe it is because it is not safe to share with the people around you, or maybe it is because it is just a very scary subject to open up about, and that once you get past that it will pay off. This may be something to talk in depth about with a trusted person as mentioned earlier (therapist, hotline operator). My best wishes to you, and I hope this has helped.

I would recomend that you call an anomumus hot line and talk to someone who doesnt know you and wont judge you for expressing your feelings. I would also reccomend that you write down your feelings in a journal.

I would talk to someone about it. Even if it is a complete stranger talking about it helps you mentally work through your issues. Even a 7-cups listener would do the trick.

If you are feeling suicidal, you should contact a mental health professional. If you want to remain anonymous, contact the USA’s National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1(800)273-8255 for qualified people to help you and give advice.

Focus What is making me happy in life and force myself to think positive daily. Avoid people that harass me, and get closeer to the one who actually care about me.

If you dont wish to share that info with friends or loved ones, you can always come on 7 cups or call a suicide hotline and talk with an anonymous person about how your feeling!

Call the suicide hotline or distract yourself or make a list of reasons why you shouldn't kill yourself.

Try to find ways to cope! Try to distract yourself or find things that make you happier and less suicidal

Coming on 7cups is a great step, and we have a self-help guide here on 7cups that you can check out if you want to.

it might help if you contact helplines but let them know that you'd like to stay anonymous, they can still do their best to help you. it can be scary and hard reaching out but remember, being aware and knowing that you need help is already a step you have taken, now you just have to ask for help - there will be people who are willing to support you. its so important that you let people help you because you are important, and your feelings are valid, even if they make no sense. Please reach out to someone, you matter and you are so so loved.

If you are ever feeling suicidal, you should seek help right away. Suicide is a serious thing. Mental health is not talked about enough these days and it should be changed. You may feel that reaching out makes you seem weak, but trust me it only makes you stronger. Reaching out to an adult or therapist can be really helpful even if you are scared to do so. Yet doing so can completely change your perspective on life for the better. Please reach out to someone for help. I believe in you! I want you to get better :) !

The first and the most important thing to do is to stay around people. NEVER BE ALONE IN SUCH A SITUATION. In fact, I'd suggest that you take some medicines to help you sleep so that you can fall asleep quickly at night and aren't left alone with your thoughts at night. Stay around people and have a general talk with them so as to divert yourself from the thoughts even if a bit. Also, sometimes it might be the case where you aren't comfortable with talking to someone you know about those thoughts. So you can talk to someone you don't know. A stranger who would actually care and help. There are many suicide helplines. You could talk to them and they will really help you. Do what you need to in order to keep yourself going. Because no matter what, those thoughts are not permanent and believe me when I say that for reasons related to experience. So just keep going for a while and leave it all up to time. Time heals everything. Even your mind. Do things that you love to do or that you 'loved' to do before and find new interests. Also, music does help. It really does help. But remember to not go with the flow of the music and then alienate yourself again. Pick your genres very cautiously if you're easily affected by art, be it any form of art.. music, acts, drawings.. whatever. Don't let it get to you no matter how much you may feel like you relate to it. Also, try to find new interests and new distractions. Reading helps too, but as I said, pick your genres carefully. Find humourous stuff and try to bring your apparently lost sense of humour appreciation back. Do everything it takes to survive because remember, you're facing this because you're a fighter. Not everyone can do this as bravely as you are and trust me when I say that you're brave because you are here, seeking for answers to this question. You, sir/ma'am, are certainly too courageous and life will welcome you once you have been in and out through it, having gained a priceless experience.

Although it can feel terrifying to reach out to someone about your suicidal feelings, I urge you to talk to someone. It doesn't have to be your parents if you're not comfortable with that, but could be an older sibling, a trusted teacher, a family friend, the important thing being that they are a trusted adult who you feel comfortable with. Alternatively, you can always call a suicide hotline. The reason that I really hope you do reach out to someone is because feeling suicidal is a heavy burden to bear by oneself and it only gets heavier with time. Often, even just telling someone about it can lessen that weight considerably. Telling someone will not make the feelings go away, but it will make you feel less alone and isolated. And hopefully the adult that you tell will be able to help you. A word of advice, though, if the first adult you tell does not react in the way you want and does not help you, then reach out to another trusted adult. Do not take their negative reaction personally, since suicide is a heavy topic and the individual may just not be psychologically equipped to help you. Please keep reaching out until you find the help you need.

The first step it is to become aware of both the desire of committing suicide and the desire to hide this. Why do you want to commit suicide? Which are you reasons? What is making you want to hide this reality to yourself and others? And why? Can you nail this down and write it also down? Now that you did this, how does it feels for you reading yourself? If, for just a second, you would imagine to not be a person who wants to suicide, but instead a person who simply wants to build a better life, how would you pin-point the steps to get yourself out of a setting who transformed your desire to have a better life, into a desire to destroy your life? Can you visualize your dream's life in this moment? How does that looks like? From this point on what do you believe you would realistically need to get there? And what, if I tell you that now all the things that didn't work before or had bad luck, would have a completely new chance to work as intended? How? Well, try it yourself! Just by coming here, reading this, giving it space within yourself, you changed a fundamental setting of your inner workings. Now you nourished the skill in yourself to look at things from a new perspective and perceive ways through, through what for you was before an insurmountable obstacle. Please, don't believe me, just try that yourself :)

First and foremost, know that you aren't alone... cheesy, I know. But it's true! There's a whole global community of people who are sending you love, power, and support (even without you knowing). Second, things really do get better. I say this as someone on "the other side", who attempted suicide and did the whole inpatient/outpatient thing for years. When you're deep in suicidal thought, it may seem like that's really all there is or that that's the most logical option. It may be impossible to envision a future where anything gets, and actually stays, better. But I'm here to say that it does! It get's so much better! It's not without some time and effort, so you can't get discouraged, but it's out there. Third, I'd really encourage you to reach out to someone, but it doesn't have to be someone close to you. You have options- it could be a therapist or a counselor, there are also suicide and mental health hotlines that you can call anonymously and speak to trained professionals, a lot of whom have been exactly where you are now. It may seen terrifying to actually hear yourself say some of your feelings out loud but it helps to take away some of their power. The more I've been able to open up and discuss my struggles with suicide and depression the more I realize that, not only can people relate, but a lot of people have their own experiences as well. Having the strength to share your feelings helps more people than just yourself.

Chat with us here. So many listeners on 7cups have experience and advice when it comes to suicidal ideation and thoughts. It's SO important to claw out of that bubble when you get to that place, and we are here to listen - as an anonymous stranger! Its easier to talk to someone you don't know about all the messy stuff, and it's the first step in getting help outside. Sometimes being listened to, even by someone you don't know, can help you find the solid ground on which to keep walking. You've got this! Reach out anytime. We're here.

It depends on how actively suicidal you are feeling. Take a moment to assess, whether what you are experiencing are fleeting suicidal thoughts, longer lasting thoughts, or whether you already find yourself planning or even taking actual steps towards suicide. If you are experiencing the latter two, seek help immediately. Call the suicide hotline of your country and let them help you. It’s anonymous and free. If you’re not at this stage, I would still advice you to seek help and support. You might find advice Centers that can help you work out a plan that works for you. Those steps aren’t easy to take but you shouldn’t be all alone with these thoughts. Your life is worth protecting, even if at times it’s difficult to see that. And starting to walk a path towards recovery is less scary and more rewarding than you might think right now. As a practical piece of advice, try setting small goals. For the next day, the next week. Don’t look too far ahead if that scares you at the moment, just focus on the present and near future and making it to little milestones again and again. I genuinely wish you all the best.

Honestly, you really need to speak to someone, whether you want to or not. You don't actually want to die, you just dislike your life the way it is. You can get through this, but you're gonna need to open up, admit you have a problem, and seek some help. A good place to start would be to call a suicide help hotline. They might have good advice. Then, you can go from there. Just don't give up. You are awesome and you are worth more than that. I love you, beautiful human. You deserve this life. You are loved.

Before acting on your suicidal ideation, make sure that you set aside time to think everything through. Letting out your thought may take the form of journaling or talking to yourself but watch out. Do not tell yourself self-defeating words, but instead tell yourself what you'd say to a friend who is struggling. I understand that it's no easy coping with suicidal thoughts on your own but suicide is not the most suitable measure to address life problems. Indeed, it is a permanent solution to temporary problems. It may be hard for you to trust what I've just said but believe me, you can live a fulfilling life and it is okay to try and try again in the mental health journey. It may not become better after one try but after many tries, you'll soon feel better. Also a reminder that life has ups and downs so hardships will never stop coming at your doors, it is your attitude towards those hardships that determine your satisfaction with life and hardships actually do good for us as they help us become more mature.

What I personally do when these feelings creep in, is I like to put these feelings into writing. I either pull up a note document, or a pen and paper, and I let the feelings flow. Usually in the form of poetry, but it can also be in the form of a story too. I keep writing until there is either a natural end to the piece, or until the feeling passes, I wait for a moment of calm (anytime after the metaphorical cloud leaves) and then I analyze the piece. I see if there was a trigger that was mentioned int he writing, and how I handled it, and then I can learn from it and how to cope with the feelings, if they were to come up again.

Telling others is the best way to seek help. It is strongly suggested that to tell others. They cannot help you because they do not know you need it their help. However, if you really really do not want tell others. Here is some method to protect you. 1. Find 5 things that help you feel better when you are thinking about suicidal. 2. Find 5 things that can give you hope. 3. How can you make your environment safer? (For example, throw away dangerous objects/ drugs) Finally, if the above methods do not help. Please, promise me, call the emergency service. You are not alone.

If you feel suicidal just calm yourself and say that life is just an adventure. Whatever problem you are facing is just part of having new adventures ride on. Just district yourself from that thought. Do stupid things or things u love to do. Listen happy songs. Go for a walk in morning and breathe feel like u just took all the air in you. Feel positive and blessed. If you still feel the same just cry out your sorrow a louder until you feel light and relaxed. Then find out answer to all your problems........ Remember in this whole world there is no such problem that don't carry any solution it's just you have to be patient and discover a best possible solution. And just don't forget to smile 😊

The first thing to ask yourself is what you are afraid will happen if you tell someone. If you fear embarrassment or judgment, is there anyone you can speak with anonymously (such as a listener here if you are able to manage those thoughts or perhaps a crisis volunteer if you are feeling unsafe)? I think a lot of people fear that if they talk about suicidal feelings, they will be sent to the hospital. However, best practice dictates that a client only be taken inpatient if the client is an imminent danger to themselves or to others. In other words, it should be okay to tell a professional that you have these thoughts/feelings and struggle with them. If you have a plan that you intend to carry out in the next 24-48 hours, that is when things would get more serious. However, if you are at that point, you may need a higher level of care that can be found in that kind of setting. I am sure it feels very overwhelming to talk about such things, but isolation and depression are a terrible combination. I hope that you are able to reach out to someone and let them know how you feel.

Before doing it, just stop for a second and read this. Are you reading this? Good, keep following this post and you'll find your answer. Remember that you're valuable and this is just a time in your life where you may feel that you've screwed up to the point of no return - but that's just not true. I suggest you seek professional help immediately by contacting a nearby professional therapist. I was once in a depressed state too and was feeling lonely and suicidal, since I thought that my life was just beyond repair. Reach out to me if you need more help! Stay safe please!

It can be very challenging to have suicidal thoughts and quite overwhelming to tell someone. Please understand this, you are valuable. You are put on this earth to serve a purpose. Although, you may feel the opposite, it is important to realize that this feeling may be temporary. It can be uncomfortable to talk to someone. I have been there. However, I realized that talking to someone has made me realize my potential that I was unable to see. Try to seek professional help. It can guide you a light that was always there. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Please remember, there is always another alternative.

Take your time, don't rush. Think, why do I feel this way? Why wouldn't I'd like to speak to anyone? Do I feel like I'm a moment away from doing it or am I just entertaining the thought? If you are entertaining the thought then maybe speaking to a close friend can help or letting your emotions out in someway (everyone has a diffrent way). Feeling suicidal isn't forever and it's hardly a rational time (even if it feels rational at the time doesn't mean it is). One doesn't need to tell everything in one go, sometimes just telling a few hints can help (or not). But taking your time to think through your emotions and thoughts is probably the best option.

Tell someone. If you're actively suicidal it needs to be an actual person around you who can help, if it's just passive it may suffice simply to write in a journal or talk to someone online. As much as it's difficult to tell someone, holding it all in can absolutely destroy a person. With active suicidality where you genuinely are wanting to commit, and have a plan or have reached a point where you are capable of going through with it in the moment, someone needs to be aware so they can help you and intervene if necessary. Even just with passive suicidal thoughts simply allowing it to eat away at you until they may evolve into active suicidal thoughts, or even if they just remain passive but persist, it's important not to allow yourself to be dragged down by it

Talking about it is a great first step. I had this problem. Music got me through it. I used this site to tell someone. Even though they couldn't know me, it felt nice to let it out. It can be difficult to tell people, but it is definitely a good first step. Remember to take care of yourself. Doing research on ways to boost serotonin. The internet can help you. Telling people online can make you heard. This can make you feel much better. I beleive telling people is one of the best ways to improve. I hope you feel better friend

I would highly recommend calling or texting the suicide hotline (1-800-273-8255) If there is a trusted friend or parent, I would also recommend telling them, so they can check up on you. Support from friends and family is some of the best support you can get. If you haven't already gotten it, therapy can be extremely helpful! In my personal experience its never a good idea to keep negative feelings bottled up, it makes it even harder to recover. Last but not least, you are not alone in this and there is an incredible network of caring individuals who are wiling to help
