Everyone can be a support to those who are affected by thoughts of suicide.

These are glimpses into the internal experiences of some people who have thoughts of suicide…

“I want to tell you, but I am afraid that you will

judge me.”

#HAVINGSUPPORTMAKESUSSTRONGER

“I have so many problems, I

think I might burden anyone who knows

about them.”

#HAVINGSUPPORTMAKESUSSTRONGER

“If you know about my problems, I am afraid

you will be

disappointed. ”

#HAVINGSUPPORTMAKESUSSTRONGER

“I don’t see any other way

out. I assume you don’t

either.”

#HAVINGSUPPORTMAKESUSSTRONGER

“I just want to stop the hurt.

I don’t want to live like this anymore.”

#HAVINGSUPPORTMAKESUSSTRONGER

“You may be just a phone call away, but I

don’t want to disturb you.

Call me if you don’t hear

from me.”

#HAVINGSUPPORTMAKESUSSTRONGER

“If I start to withdraw,

don’t take it personally

or turn your back on me.”

#HAVINGSUPPORTMAKESUSSTRONGER

“Sometimes I just need to talk. You don’t have to solve my problems or cheer me up. It helps when

someone listens.”

#HAVINGSUPPORTMAKESUSSTRONGER

I feel so lonely.”

“No one seems to care.

#HAVINGSUPPORTMAKESUSSTRONGER

“Right now, I feel

too tired to carry on.

I wouldn’t mind if somehow,

my life would just end.”
