This is gonna sound super cliché, but tell someone! Even if it's a stranger online (7cups anyone?) Because it could be the difference between you staying alive, and you making that choice to end things. Find someone who's understanding, call the prevention hotline if you feel you're in that desperate need of help. But talk to someone, reach out, and maybe someone will reach back. I know its hard dealing with those thoughts, but you can get through it, but you can't do it alone.

If you are feeling suicidal it is important to speak out. If you are not comfortable speaking about this to anybody in person (which is understandable) You always have the option to speak to somebody over a phone call or ever over an online chat. Even though 7 Cups cannot offer this service, there are a number of websites and hotlines that do. Here is one that is international: www.suicide.org Remember, it is important to speak up :) You are worth living and worth a voice. This is why we have services to support people (and there are many so you are never alone) who feel suicidal or who are thinking about suicide. Be safe and good luck

Silence is deadly and telling someone can save your life. It is important to find an outlet you are comfortabel with, either talking on the phone, in person or online. Even if you don't tell anyone why you're sucidal at least tell that you are

I keep a journal - it may be a notebook or an app - and writing down how youre currently feeling. I would also make myself occupied by taking a walk, watching happy/comedy movies or other funny random stuff on the internet like cute animals acting silly :)

Write your thoughts and feelings down. Remove temptations, make it harder for you to take action upon your thoughts. Distract yourself with your senses. Focus on just getting through the next minute. Look for reasons to live. Remember that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary situation (even if the situation often repeats itself). Reach out in any way you are able.

If you are having suicidal thoughts, you NEED to talk to someone, preferably an expert healthcare professional. Everyone who has ever lived will die someday. There's no rush. 94% of people who attempt suicide and survive don't try again, so you owe it to yourself so seek help. Whatever is making you want to hide or go away or simply not be can be fixed, or changed, or you can gain a new perspective on things, but if you commit suicide, all of that potential is gone forever.

Bottling things up causes people to react even more dangerously when the pressure on the cap has been far too much. Get help sooner than later! Things such as these can be prevented if you catch them early on.

The best thing to do is distract yourself, get rid of the stuff you could do it with, try and build the courage up to go and tell some one like in the UK childline or Samaritans but tell a adult you trust.

Call an help or support line. The first step is telling someone, or anonymously calling a helpline. Please try to do this for your own safety.
