if not having an emergency plan, do anything which distracts you, get online support, you do not need to say you are suicidal, make your environment safe as possible, exercise, read or watch motivation videos made particularly for this feeling, try to force yourself to postpone it for at least 48 hours, go for a walk, if you have a house cat, dog or so touch them, for the future prepare an emergency journal, write down everything you like about yourself, what you like to do, plans for the future, names of friends, mayebe with a nice story

You should look at how far you have come, how much struggle you have faced, but got through it. you should think back on the people who love you, and how it would affect them, as it would to you. think about what you have accomplished, look at what you have done through out your years. suicide may seem like the easy way out, and it may seem like the answer, but i promise you it isn't. what if you were to grow into a successful human being, you wouldn't get to experience what you could have, if you would have went through with something such as that. as much as you feel the need, look at how many people it would hurt. even if it is just family, they are people as well. they care for you, even though they may not show it everyday. i assure you there is people out there probably don't want you to die. you are strong, and you are beautiful. name out things you want to do in your life time, and think about accomplishing them. don't give up so soon because one day.. one day it will be okay.

Just think of the happy things you’ll miss out on.. like a family, fun times with your friends, parties, Netflix binge watching, a lover, other fun experiences.. you haven’t lived long enough to know the full value and hope For the future ... stay .. please.. you’re needed here... i may not know you personally but I do know that you deserve to live .. happily .. love you....
Love, nobody important:)â¤ï¸

If you're feeling actively suicidal (if you're making a plan or preparing to commit suicide), you should call a hotline or 9-11. Unfortunately, if you are feeling suicidal, people SHOULD know. If it's too hard to talk to your parents or guardians, going to the hospital may be beneficial. If you are feeling passively suicidal (contemplating suicide but not yet making a plan), consider seeing a therapist, calling a hotline, or coming onto 7Cups to talk about what's bothering you.

There are many things you could do. Sometimes, it's really hard for us to tell someone as we get seen differently, isn't it? However, calling a suicide hotline would be a great start - the chats are completely confidential. If you're in the US, you can call the suicide hotline: 1-800-273-8255, if not, you can try suicide.org. You might be pleasantly surprised at how many people care about you

If you are feeling suicidal, you should tell someone. But if you can't seem to find yourself opening up, try one of these: writing (journals, letters, and poems are pretty common venting places), chat anonymously on a site like 7cups, draw, read, or do an activity you feel happy doing. Often writing the feelings but not acting on it is the best thing to do. What you write can also be shared with others if you ever feel ready to open up.

Well done for asking for help. That's not an easy thing to do. Maybe try one of these:
-Talk to a helpline. They're confidential and you'll be talking to a stranger who just want to help you, not someone who might judge you.
-Do the three day challenge. See if you can get through three days without smiling. Don't try not smile, just let it happen. Any time you smile, even tiny tiny ghosts of a smile, you start again. If you do make it through three days, try another three.
-Distract yourself. This feeling will pass. Start a new TV show. Read a book. Draw or write something. Garden. Listen to a song you've never heard of. Take your mind off these thoughts. Dwelling on them makes them worse.
-Watch videos for suicidal thoughts. There are some amazing ones on YouTube if you find them.
-Talk to someone, not necessarily about your thoughts but just talk to them. Make a new friend or chat to an old one. Arrange to meet up perhaps.
-Join a new club/get a new hobby
-Write a list of all the reasons to survive. Big or small. For example, new music being released or your pet being taken care of or finding out your maths test results or completing a goal
-Start a gratitude journal or jar
-Look for online counselling
-You don't want to hear this but : Tell someone. Stay safe
Your life is so so so so important. You would be so so so missed. I promise you. Keep fighting. Life will get better and you'll want to be there when it does. We care about you. We want you with us.

try to find as many reasons to stay alive as you can think of, that don't make you feel guilty. Live for yourself and don't rely on other people to stay alive

Make a plan to commute to the nearest hospital and ask to stay in the softer ward if you feel like you need watching to keep yourself out of danger. Or you could start baby proofing your living area.
