Ways to Help Someone Who’s Feeling Suicidal
“Remind me I’m not a burden. Remind me how special I make your life by just being in it.”
“If I say I’m suicidal, take it seriously and don’t assume I want attention.”
“Remind me of how strong I am. Remind me of who I am.”
“Keep in close touch, even if that means a text every few hours, even if I don’t answer back.”
“Please don’t tell me how selfish I’m being. In my mind I’m making things better for everyone else.”
“Simple yes/no questions such as, ‘Are you safe?’ ‘Can I take you t the hospital?’ etc.”
“Listen, validate and believe.”
If you or someone you know needs support, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text HELLO to 741-741.
