It is extremely important you tell somebody you are close to e.g. family, as your life is important.

If the "anyone" only includes people you personnaly know, I totally encourage you to call or text the Suicide Prevention Lifeline (https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/). You can also talk with people who can relate online (including here on 7 Cups), and learn how they cope with their urges. If you don't want to talk to anyone, including people you don't know about, you can find many coping tips and "confessions" from suicidal people on the internet without needing to talk, and learn a lot for yourself. I hope this helped! Please stay strong and take care of yourself!

Although it's tough, getting yourself back into the headspace of thinking rationally is very important. You don't want a permanent solution to a temporary problem, as cliche as that sounds. Keeping suicidal thoughts and feelings to yourself can be very difficult to cope with, which is why we're often encouraged to seek help when we feel this way. What I have personally found helpful is to create a 'toolbox' where you can keep some of the items that make you happy. These could include your favourite movie/tv show or book, a colouring in book, some playdough, old photos etc. Basically anything you can go to when you're feeling suicidal and need something to distract yourself with or lift your mood. Of course it's always safer to talk to someone you trust, but even learning how to talk back to the negative voices in your head using positive self talk such as "I deserve to live", "I'm worthy enough to get help so I don't feel this way" etc. can also be helpful. Keeping yourself safe is one of the biggest things you can do to help yourself when you don't want to tell someone your feeling suicidal.

TELL SOMEONE! That is ONE thing that should NOT stay a secret. If you are having suicidal thought, never keep it to yourself... ever.

You tell yourself all is well. Do not let your heart be troubled. Then write down why you want to suicide and ask yourself is this the solution. Then write down all the solutions you get and start by the easiest one.

Sit down and try to think hard about why should you live and why should you give up. You will find that there are more reasons for you to live than to leave this cruel world. It's cruel but you are still kicking. Why waste your efforts now?

Well firstly I think tell about this to the person whose most special for you..by spitting words such negative thoughts remain only in words not in actions.plus your loved ones have the right to know.you can't snatch it from them and consult a professional psychiatric..medical help is a boon . just lyk v go to doc for fever..plus think about your loved ones for once. U don't have the right to punish them

Don't force yourself to feel uncomfortable but it is a good idea to get it out to someone when you can. If you can't talk to someone in real life, speak to a hotline online or via the phone that will give you the help you need. Some of these can be anonymous.
Suicidal thoughts are dangerous, and all of us just want you be to safe, in the end.
