In the meantime,
-
Distance yourself from any means of suicide.
-
Promise yourself another 24 hours.
-
It's OK to feel bad, but try to separate your emotions from your actions for
the moment.
-
Suicidal feelings are the result of treatable illnesses. So, try to act as
if there are other options, even if you may not see them right now.
-
Be persistent. You are there to get help and you are there to get it NOW.
-
Finally, take comfort in the fact that help is on the way.
When someone is feeling suicidal, they should talk about their feelings
immediately. Don't burden yourself by trying to cope alone.
It is so helpful to talk about your feelings. You can call or inform any of
your trusted loved ones in the meantime. Remember, there is no shame in
reaching out.
Contact a family member or friend or contact your minister, priest, guru
spiritual leader or someone in your faith community or call the police.
These are people who can help you through this crisis.
Reminder: If you are in immediate danger of harming yourself, DO NOT

you may be going to harm yourself in anyway you need to atleast ring your
doctor or other health care professional, emergency service or ambulance
immediately or get yourself to the nearest hospital.
