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 continue browsing now. This is not good for you and will only cause distress.

So, for your health and well being, if you believe there is any chance that 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.


Important!

DepressionIndiaOnline Team does not provide mental health advice or counselling. We are not equipped or able in any way to provide emergency counselling if you are in immediate danger of harming yourself.
